'cHlCY HARLEY

Look out for Ohio State was the
word passed around the Big Ten early
this season.
And subsequent results have proved
that the warning was not a false
alarm. 81
Ohio State, champions of 1916, when
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and North
western were taken into camp, was
treated considerably by the war As
result the, same team, with the OK
ception of Captain Sorenson, fullback,
and one or two others, is in the har-
ness again and as the season nears
it's climax there is nothing in the
west, with the possible exception of
Michigan which even approaches the
Wilce machine
y The development Of Pete Stinch-
comb in the backfield is a big element
In making Ohio State a greater team
than in 1916. This youngster is said
to be almost as brilliant as his team
mate, Chick Harley, almost universal
choice on the All-American back-field
last year.
Ohio State with. Harley on 1t was
bad enough for most opponents, but
Ohio State with two Harleys would
certainly stand q lot of these teams
on their heads.
Another old star on the team is
Eolen, next to Baston Of Minnesota,
the best end in the west last year.

the present time during the coming
annual meetings. While no hasty &C.
ton will be taken it is considered
likely that several innovations both
in combination and conduct of the
sport will be adopted before the sea-
son of 1918 is reached. Owing to
the difference of opinion on these
points among the various club own
ers, 1t is difficult to name the pro-
pOsals which may eventually be en-
acted in baseball law but there has
been no dearth of these both from
official and unofficial sources.
Among the plans advanced are the
following: Shorter season and sched-
ule in the major leagues, coupled with
a suggestion to start the World Ser
les several weeks earlier than has
been the case in recent ears; cur.
tailment of the number of players
now permitted to each club and a re.
duction Of the present salaries; the
shifting of one or more club franchis-
es to new and more profitable fields
Of patronage; the elimination of long
and expensive southern training trips;
Encouragement of schedules with the
idea OF reducing the large annual
transportation bills; REIMBURSEMENT or
combination of minor league circuits
In order to provide more attractive
and lucrative play.
