S PORT

The establishment of the three
term system at the University of Mis-
souri,, according to the sporting edi-
tor of the Kansas City Star, was
cause of a controversy in the meet
ing of the Missouri Valley Confer
ence in Kansas City yesterday. The
charge was made by one coach" ac-
cording to the Star. that the three
term plan ruling (whatever it may
be- adopted by the conference would
enable Missouri and all the rest of
the conference members to permit
players who enter school December
80 to compete the following fall.
Another coach is reported as saying
that under such conditions his school
would cancel games with Missouri.
Another is quoted as saying that the
new ruling, (whatever it may bel
"smashes the very principle We have
been working for years to establish"
The remarks of the members of
the conference directed against Mis-
souri,, as reported in the Star, become
ludicrous to those who know of Mis-
souri's standard in athletics for
this school is the only member of
the conference, practically, that has
fought consistently and determinedly
for strict eligibility rules and high
standard in athletics since the forma-
tion of the conference
AS TO other matters transacted by
the conference. the Star says:
Probably the most important action
of the faculty representatives was the
admission of Grinnell College. Grin
nell, Ia, to the conference. The ap-
plications of the University of Oklaho-
ma represented by Ben. G. Owen and
Professor Reeves, and st. Louis Uni
versity represented by Ernest C. Quig-
ley, were taken under consideration
and probably will be acted on at the
May meeting. The Grinnell applica-
tion had been under consideration
last December.
According to the ruling of the
conference last year, Washington
University and Drake were permitted
to use freshmen for the duration of
the war. This rule was passed by
the presidents board of control and |
must be rescinded by that body if !
Washington and Drake are not to use |
their first year men in basketball and |
track
The eligibility of athletes who have |
played on their school teams this year
to compete for their schools the next |
three years will be up to the eligi- |
bility rules of each school If the |
school rules that a football player
of 1918 made sufficient credit then
he will be eligible to represent his
school next year, the 1918 season not
counting against him. Where an ath-
lete is shy sufficient credit he may
play if the eligibility committee of
his school decides that his lack of
credits was due to S. A. T. c. work
that prevented him giving the neces-
sary time to his studies. In other
words, very liberal policy will be
adopted with reference to students in
this years S. A. T. Cs.

A department store owned by Hol-

The anti-German spirit was super.

Two American leutcnants who ar
rived while the campaign of destruc-
ton was at it's height called upon
four enlisted men to arm themselves
with broken boards and disperse the
