Agreement" With Big Fell
lows Over National

committee appointed for this pur-

member of the committee, had an
informal conference in New York
last Friday with August Hermann
OF the National commission and
President John Heydler of the Ma
tional league in regard to the res
toration of relations between the
major and minor leagues.
When the minor league body de-
crded to abrogate the national agree
ment at meeting in New York last
January it appointed a committee to
arrange for some amioable arrange
ment with the major leagues. To
prevent any misconception of the
stand of the major leagues in regard
to the matter, Chairman Tearney
made public the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved that the National asso-
citation approves the action taken by
its committee appointed at the New
York meeting to en,-; into an
agreement with the major leagues
and it hereby resolves to continue
this committee in existence for the
purpose of entertaining any propo-
sition which the major leagues wish
to submit in an endeavor to reach
an agreement between the minor
and major leagues.

agent. He has held this job for
IS years so it's certain that he is
a good one for the job. "Dinty"
as he is called, is known from coast
to coast by every bowler.
Jack Hammil, the Beau Brum-
mel of Des Moines bowlers, has en-
tered the tournament, and with it
comes the announcement. that he

Smith off an Idaho shift. Glenwood's

Smith off an Idaho shift. Glenwood's
score came from punt over the goal
which the referee saw fit to allow.
The game was very slow yet was
full of fight. The field was sea of
mud and was not improved by the
Alpine glacier which covered one
fourth of the field. Hanks of Glen
wood was the most dangerous IMAM
on the field on the offensive. The
husky center and right end of Glen
woods deserve meritorious mention
for their defense. Smith and Otte
of Sidney were the most important
factors in the Fremont county team.
The game was clean game and
Glenwood is to be congratulated for
the handling of such a close contest
especially when the rivalry between
the two towns is so intense Bogart
of Ames and Laird of Nebraska
handled the whistle and horn.

Down Lincoln way preparations
of a gigantic nature are under way
in anticipation for the Syracuse
Nebraska foot ball game there on
Thanksgiving day. The New York
team, making its second visit into
the west, this year is rated as strong
as any grid eleven in the east.
The Cornhuskers. on the home
stretch of their schedule, have made
progress. The two defeats handed
to Missouri and Kansas, have at last
brought them to the level of reputa-
tons established by their predeces-
sors. There is belief here that the
huskers may hold the New Workers
