Michigan Aggies

director Of the Aggies. that the agita-
ton for the return of Michigan TO the
conference will. if successful, open the
way 70 membership in the intercollegl-
ate majors" for Michigan Agricultural
College. But whether the Aggies will
formally seek place in the conference
will be left 10 Coach Chester l.. Brewer,
with whom Coach Gauthier is taking
the matter up.
Coach Gauthier bases his belief that
the time is ripe for the Farmers to try
for the conference. on statements
which he saws have been made TO HIM
by number OF the conference coaches.
These men have said that IN the event
Michigan returns 10 the big Nine"
schedule making will be complicated,
but that If some other college goes in
at the same time the difficulty will be
obviated.
What NJ. A. c. will do will depend
upon Coach Brewers decision. II de-
cided that the present would be oppor-
tune for the Aggies 20 seek alignment
with the conference, official advances
will be made.
In any event, however. II Coach Brewer
does not take up the conference ques-
ton at this time. he will be simply de-
ferring il TO some date IN the not far
distant future, for sentiment on the
campus has for the last five years been
IN favor of making overtures 10 the
intercollegiate association. This senti-
ment was ignored by Coach Macklin,
who thought in his time that NJ. A. {.
was not ready 10 adopt the eligibility

Midway started fifteen times. OF which
he won five, was second twice, third
three times and five times unplaced IN

fall that he showed his real form. This
he did by winning four consecutive

which he finished ahead OF CudgeL
