For many years the east scoffed at

because it had become custom. Some

about what 1t accused the west of

There are three big eastern schools
with five or more players who do not

another-one of the great universities
with five men who last year were
stars on five different small college
teams.
Are these schools foolish enough to
ask us to believe no inducements were

If they want to make that claim lis

A youth has been famous on a west

him is when he appears in the lineup

STACc TAKES RAP
AT EXPERTS
Picking of All-Star Football
Teams is all Bosh De-
clares Alonzo.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Coach A. A. Stage
launched a severe rap at football
critics' who select mythical all.
American or all-western elevens, in
an article in the Daily Maroon. the
University of Chicago publication
yesterday.
Stage declared that no person i.
qualified to make a selection of such
an eleven. Most of the columns OF
football dope that appear in the news
papers, Stagg declared to be largely
bunk."'' y,
Newspaper critics. stagg said, were
not qualified to pick "all'' teams. be-
cause they are so busy debating ac-
counts of games that they cannot pos
sibly watch every player. Even II this
were possible, Stage said. the writer's
would not be quqaIitied, inasmuch as
the coaches themselves frequently are
at a loss to pick between men on their
own teams.
AS an instance, the Maroon coach
mentioned the manner in which most
football critics in the west this year
passed up Quarterback Pete Russell
of the Chicago eleven in announcing
their "all-western" selections. Stagg
gave it as his opinion that Russell
ranks with Eckersall and Steffen, the
greatest quarters Chicago has ever
seen.

TW0-SP0RT RULE
UP AGAIN. n: TODAY
al
big Nine" Conference to
Consider it-Opposition
Against Measure.

Chicago. Dec. 5.-The stricter fac
ton of the faculty representatives Of
the intercollegiate conference, or big
nine" will renew today It's battle for
the adoption Of the "two-sport rule"
a measure designed to limit the time
a student spends on athletics by per-
mitting his participation in only two
branches. The rule was proposed at
the spring meeting of the faculty
committee. but the conference bylaws
provide that it's rejection by only one
school prevents it's becoming law un-
less passed by a majority vote at a
later session. Two universities reject
ed it, hence it's temperance.
Opposition may be strong against
the rule. especially by the smaller
universities, whose athletic prowess
would be seriously weakened by its
adoption, but recently advocates Of an
even more radical measure-a "one-
sport rule"-declared the latter stood
a chance of ultimate adoption. The
University of Illinois was leader of
the movement, it was said.
Several other matters of more or
less consequence will come before
the meeting here tomorrow. It is said
