Encouragement Of Schedules
Will be Made Neces-
sary.

Kansas City, Oct. 21.-Comment
on the football situation at all Mis-
souri, Valley conference schools is
hedged with question marks. Many
OF the schools are under quarantine
for influenza and while this has, not
fnterfered materially with football
practice, 1t has served to further OBJ
scure the already clouded schedule
and bids fair to necessitate the rear
rangements or cancellation of some
OF the early November games.
There has been as yet no move for
q definite rearrangement of the
schedule. following the refusal Of the
army authorities to modify regula-
tions of Student Army Training Corps
units. although there has been much
agitation in favor of such action. 1t
has been pointed out that a confer
ence might also settle finally the 9TH
err important question of whether
freshmen are to be played on-'var-
sity teams. Action on this point has
been taken by individual schools, but
there has been no conference agree
ment.
At both Washington and st. Louis
universities announcement was made
that the influenza quarantine prob
ably would not be raised until the
week of November 8 at the earliest.
Since eastern guarantees have been
in effect for much longer periods. this
has had a decidedly depressing eff
feet.
A fractured wrist suffered by Frank
Petermon Of Washington university,
former Wfsconsin center, probably
will keep him out Of the game all
season. This, and injuries suffered
by other players, serve to further
dampen Washington's hopes.
The n encouraging feature of the
outlook at all of the Missouri Valley
schools is that officers in charge OF
the Student Army Training corps are
everywhere emphasizing the impor-
.tance Of the game as army training.
This backing probably will be extend
ed to furtherance of intercollegiate
contests on which the interest in the
game largely has rested.
At Kansas City. this week the drill
officers commented especially on the
importance of football practice in the
