Foot Ball Practice at
University of Chicago
viii Start Next Week

Chicago, Sept. dissatisfaction was
expressed by foot ball coaches
. throughout the western conference
tonight that the War department is
strongly in favor of the continuation
of intercollegiate athletics and will
encourage the playing of the 1918
foot ball schedules instead of aban-
doning them.
A. A. Stage of the University of
Chicago announced he would start
the practice season next Monday and
that other coaches in the big Ten"
were planning on launching the prac-
tice season next week
The University OF Chicago schedule
will be carried out as originally
planned, but Coach Stage said it
was probable that Minnesota and
one or two other universities in the
conference would be obliged to can
eel one or two games which would
require long trips away from home,
The meeting of the basket ball
coaches of the big Ten" scheduled to
be held here tomorrow to draft the
l9lS-lo schedules, was cancelled by
L. ]. Cooke of the University of Min
nesota, secretary of the committee,
today. The meeting, however,
probably will be held at later date,
in view OF the War department an
nouncement that intercollegiate ath-
letics would be encouraged.

exhibitor, who has been forced to run
poorer pictures as part OF his pro-

the program bookings for the special
productions if he belives he can OBJ

house open. The result to the public
will be that the local house manager
has to offer his patrons better run
of plays, chosen on his judgment as
picture man and not as a part of
program built by a production con-
