COLLEGE GAMES OFFICIALS
Big Nine" Plans to Have Them
Appointed by One Man.

Lafayette. Ind. Jan. l0.-That the big
nine" conference colleges will be asked
TO employ man whose duty IT will be TO
assign officials at athletic contests be-
tween conference teams by Purdue Uni
versity was the statements made to-day
by Hugh Nicol. athletic director at Pur-
due.
Under the present plan the officials are
chosen by the home team. with the APP
proval OF the athletic dir ector of the visit
ing team.
Such a plan" said Mr. Nicol, would
do away with the tendency on the part OF
the officials 10 favor the home team, in
order to win popularity and return en-
gagement."
The plan would require prospective OFF,
Gals TO take an examination in the rules
OF the game to prove their efficiency. Mr.
Nicol said such test not only would raise
the standard Of conference officials. but II
also would hold in the secondary colleges.
as all the officials would be striving TO
qualify for conference positions.
