S P o r T

The November schedules of the
schools in the Missouri Valley Con-
ference will be played without chang
es, according to the best information
received here Unofficial correspond
ence would indicate that there will be
n. meeting of the conference for the
purpose of considering a readjust-
ment of the games and dates. In
stead, the October games will be con-
sidered mutually Cancelled as far as
contracts go. and the opening of the
season for the conference will come
after the first of November.
z. W. Murray of the University Of
Kansas is the president of the confer
ence of faculty representatives of the
Missouri Valley Conference. 1t is I'M
derstO2d here that Mr.. Murray has
left the university and is now doing
var work in the East AS far as
known no person has been designated
by Kansas to act in his place. The
presidency of the conference would
still be retained at Kansas, for mem
beIship is by institution, but since
this appointment has not been made,
CT at least since no notification of
such an appointment has been sent
out to the other members. the confer
ence is now nOminally without head.
1t IS held by some members of the
conference that a meeting at this time
would not be necessary and would
incur only an unnecessary expense to
the athletic departments of the
schools, which have been hard hit in
a financial way since the war began,
especially this fall
Instead of waiting for a meeting to
De called to go over the entire sched-
ue matter, as was done in the case of
The Western conference. the athletic
managers have assumed that the No
Vember games as already scheduled
by each institution would be played,
following the rules issued for S. A. T.
l. schools by the committee on educa-
uOn and special training of the War
department and are now arranging
the details of the trips and agreeing
on officials. The schedules submit
led to President A Ross Hill of the
University of Missouri, who is dis
ulct educational director for the S. A.
l. l.. show that all of the games ar
ranged by the seven members of the
conference can be played without VIC
latlng the War Departments ruling in
regard to absences.
1t is pointed out. however, that
paying the November games as
scheduled. without any readjustments,
VIII mean that fewer teams in the
conference will have an opportunity
10 meet other conference teams than
IN any previous season. 1t also leaves
u the individual school the question
Vi playing freshmen. and as there is
no uniformity in regard to their eligi-
O'Ilty II Will give those schools which
use freshmen a decided advantage.
Under the proposed plan of playing
ene November games as scheduled,
h4Ssouri will open the season with
OAiahoma University November at
->olman. The Missouri team can get
10 Oklahoma and back within the des-
ishated time of forty-eight hours, but
Il means that the Tigers would have
absolutely no rest after the lcng trip
ana II the train should be late there
would be no game. On November 9
nebraska will play Missouri here. An

Saturday Washington University
comes 10 Columbia November %, as
is usual with Missouri, is an open
date, and since il comes just before
the big Kansas-AIissouri affair. there
is little likelihood that Missouri will

There is some question here as to
the playing of the Missouri-Kansas
game on Thanksgiving. The ruling
If the War Department is to the effect
that teams may not be absent longer
than from Friday night to Sunday
night If the War Department does
not permit of the 4S-hOur leave in the
middle of the week. then there may
be a necessity of changing the day of
the game
Missouri had four games cancelled
for October The Missouri schedule
called for contests with Drake, Iowa
State College, Kansas Aggies and
Drury. None of these was played
For the past two weeks there has
been no practice among Coach Henry
F. Schulte's candidates except that
which would tend to keep the men in
physical condition. Regular practice
was called off when classes were dis
missed because of influenza. This
condition has existed also in most of
the conference schools. The ban. it is
expected now. will be lifted next week.
LOWman Coaches
Wisconsin Team.
The University of Wisconsin lost
the services of Coach John Richards
last week. He leaves for Washington.
where he has received an appoint
ment as a member of the commission
in charge of the welfare of all war
workers.
This is the severest blow that Bad
ger gridirOn prospects have received
this fall. The entire school was bank
ing on the ability of the coach to whip
a formidable aggregation out of the
green material The deep slump into
which this catastrophe has thrown
the university will not be easily cast
aside. fer not only are the players af-
fected, but the entire student body
as well.
The authorities are on the trail of
a new coach, but no one knows who
he will be, as no information is being
given out on this score. II is probable
that Coach Guy LOwman. formerly of
the University of Missouri, will direct
the squad until the arrival of the new
