NEW FOOT BALL ruling
War Department Issues Orders
Limiting Time for Play During
October and November.

CHICAGO, September 1S.-Foot ban
schedules Of the western conference.
az we'll as all other intercollegiate as
sociations in the country have been
further blasted in a new War Depart
ment ruling which probably will re-
suit In tho complete arrangement
Of tho nations gridiron programs
Tho ruling came from Col r. L
Rees Of the Army general stat. who
is in supreme charge of the Student
Army Training Corps. and it specific
ally stipulates that during the month
of October foot ball players will not
be allowed to leave the universities
except on Saturday afternoons. Only
Saturday afternoon can be devoted to
the sport, which means that it will be
impossible to play contests requiring
out-of-town travel.
During the month of November the
mon playing foot ball will be permit
day evening, but must return on Sun
day evening, thus giving them . fur
Tough of forty-eight hours.
Prof. William v. Pooley Of North
western University, president of the
western conference faculty committee,
said:
1T is possible that arrangements
can be made to save the game In some
spots, but the outlook does not appear
promising.
"As I understand 1t, the students in
the Army Training Corps will be
obliged to undergo inspection every
Saturday morning next month, SO
there will be no chance for them to
leave Friday nights to fulfill foot ball
engagements in other cities.''
Although the season does not Off
cially open in the middle west until
next Saturday, several games will be
decided today. The Great Lakes naval
training station team will meet Iowa
at Iowa City. and Notre Dame will
take on Case at Cleveland in impor-
tant contests.
