SPLIT IN BIG TEN ACUTE
Wisconsin Foot Ball Mentor Says
mo Team I Coach Will Ever
Play Ohio State"

MADISON. Wis, January 6.-The
break in Big Ten foot ball relations be-,
tween Wisconsin and ohio State univer-
stiles became more acute today with
statement from Coach John r. Rich
ards of Wisconsin intimating that he
would resign if Ohio State is ever again
put on the Wisconsin foot ball schedule.
Richards statement expressed his
personal disappointment" over failure
to arrange game with Ohio State for
1921. declaring 'other Wisconsin men
agree with me that we did not get fair
dealing" Other Big Ten universities
rearranged their schedules to obtain
games with Wisconsin, Richards state
ment says, ''in striking contrast to
wilce's (Ohio State coach) considera-
ton for Wisconsin. his alma mater"
Thinly yelled charges of unsportsman-
like tactics at the Wisconsin Ohio State
game last fall constitute the main rea-
son for Richards declaration that mo
team coach will ever play Ohio State"
Foot ball only is worth while" Rich
ards statement adds, "as an intercoi-
legiate sport, when mutual regard and
craftsmanship prevail. There has often
been discernable in the middle west

letics a standard of excellence in the

After some preliminaries the way

to be a prize fight and it is plain to
see that the whole play depends upon

and jersey and green doublet, Bren-

amid thunderous applause. He is skip

gray eyes and a smiling face. He en-
Joys tripping two comedians with his
rope as much as the audience does.
Then. growing serious, he approaches
a punching bag and belabors it scien-
tifically. The villain, who has bet on
the rival fighter. appears holding a
bottle OF whisky in his hand. He
hopes that Knockout Bill will ask for
the bottle. If he does, blooey! But
Bill is above temptation. No, he will
not drink. He has his friends, his
public and his old mother to consider.
The villain sinks away, foiled. For a
moment-whisky being scarce on East
Houston street-it looked as though
he might fall. Cheers reward his
strength of principle.
The scene changes. We are now in
a restaurant. A party Of high-life

is very, oh very. beautiful. AS the
waiter advances to take orders the

AS the waiter turns away enters the

something he has got, beyond doubt.

Judge Landis is expected to sug-
gest certain provisions he believes
necessary in order to empower him
to deal properly with the national
pastime. The major league agree
ment drawn up at Philadelph1a
american League magnates, will be
brought by George Wharton Pepper
of Philadelphia
A. l.. to Insist ON Changes.
1t now seems certain some modi-
fcation must first take place in the
agreement between the major leagues
before the American League club
owners will attach their signatures
TO the document. The National
signed the agreement, but the MEM
bers of the Ban johnson circuit have
refused to do that because the COM
pact as drawn up is not entirely sat
fsfactory to the owners of the young
er circuit.
The American League at it's meet
tng in New York a few weeks ago
ratified the agreement but did not
sign it because there were dissent
Ing voices in its gatherings.
Objects to Long Term.
President Johnson was asked today
what his organization intended to do
with the agreement. and he said it
would go. through with it, but not
until it has been modified. johnson
objects to the long life of the agree
ment-t twenty-five years. He de-
clares it is folly to draw up a set of
laws to be obeyed that long. He re-
ferred to the last national commits

lived twenty years, but was declared

IN both leagues.
II do not think a long-term agree
ment means anything in base ball.
said President johnson. Five years
is enough for the life of any COM
pact Seven years would be all right
for this one. since Judge Landis has
been elected for that period. But
am opposed to making it more than
that. We had an agreement to run
for twenty years, but it was broken
because the magnates refused to live
up to the laws that were made for
them and which they adopted. The
same would happen to another long
term compact"
May Refuse to Change.
The attitude Of the American
Leogue concerning the agreement
may cause a little discussion in the
joint session to be held January 12 at
the Congress Hotel. The National
League already has signed the docu-
ment and may refuse a change, which
would stir up another row between
the major orga nizations. Members
of the latter organization unanimous

The boxing commission certainly
has given the promoters food for
thought by setting a ten-dollar limit
for seats, with an extra IS in case

of pencil and paper figuring for the
