Conference to Allow Athletes to Compete In National Euents

CHICAGO, Dee. I6.-Members of the Western conference faculty com mittee. after an all day session. to- night voted to rescind their recom- mendation that the Big Ten unl- versailles remain out of the national collegiate track and field meet to be held here in June. The faculty rep resentatives December ? recommended that the conference team or indi- vidual stars refrain from competing in the meet.
 The reversal of action by the fac- nlty committee was a victory for the athletic directors and track coaches of the Big Ten" and defeat for the graduate committee of the confer erce which had recommended the previous action of the faculty.
 Maj. John l., Griffith, athletic com missioner of the conference, together with Thomas E. Jones, director of athletics at the University of Wis consin, presented the case of the ath- letic directors and the National Col legiate Athletic association to the faculty group.
 Certain recommendations as to the conduct Of the games were made by the faculty committee before par ticipation by the Big Ten" univer- SllleS WdS dDpTuNed- I iHese IcNciH : mendations. however, will cause no friction because all of them pertain to "uuestions of policy already ap- proved by the national collegiate ath- letic association.
 Thes graduate committee, composed of a graduate from each of the con- ference universities. which opposed the participation of the conference teams in the meet, based its con tentions that the national games would be damaging to the attendance of the Western conference outdoor championships and would detract at tention from these games.
 "rhe attention of the faculty com mittee will make the 1922 national meet bigger than ever before" said Major Griffiths. We have already been pledged support from the Mis- souri Valley conference, Southwest conference, Southern Rocky Noun tain. Pacific Northwest. Midwest. North Central conferences and a score of important individual sschools.

Branch Hickey Plans Wholesale Shake-Up of the St. Louis Cardinals
By Associated Press

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Dec. 16.-Branch Hickey, manager Of the St Louis car dinals, plans a wholesale shake-up Tn his team before the beginning of the 1923 pennant race, announcing that every member of his club, with the exception Of Secondbaseman Rogers Hernsby, home run king" and lead ing batter of the National league, and the catching staff, were on the market either for sale or trade.
 Badly in need of pitchers, the Car dinal pilot declared his intention or buying and trading players in order to build up the hurling staff, which for several seasons has been the clubs weakest point.
 signs Dozen Recruits
 Rickey has signed up a dozen re- cruit twirlers. who are to be taken on the spring training trip to Braden- town, Fla. A number of players also have been recalled. The new hurlers include Scott, Mckee, Higgington, Ferguson, Manley. Sell. Dyer, Stew art and Riviere, righthanders, ana Ward, Bailey and Lovich. lefthanders, all from smaller middle-western leagues.
 Batting power was given the credit for carrying the Cardinals into tic with Pittsburg for third place last season. Ragged fielding and in- ferior pitching were declared the main draw wbacks of the team, which during tho early part of the season, forged into league leadership.
 HornSby Not for Sale
 Hickey has asserted that HCrnsby. for whom sums ranging to $Sooo00 have been offered, was not for sale at any price and even trading was out of the question. He declared also that his catching department, con sisting of Vernon Clemons, Eddie Ainsmith and Harry McCurdy was not on the block.
 Hickey and Samuel Breadon. pres- ident of the club. refuse to make any predictions as regards the prospects of the Cardinals for next year, but are hopeful the team will equal and hetter the showing of 1922.

Junior Colonels Are Awarded Jersies for Past Football Season

The first football letters and jer- sies ever awarded to woodlawn High school football team have just been Issued. The Jersies are solid white. with large golden W's and gold stripe on the left sleeve to de- note the years service on the Junior Colonel eleven. Gold footballs have been ordered and will be given to the different members of the 1922 varsity when they arrive, probably before the holidays.
 Those winning the right to wear the W of Woodlawn follow; Potts Levvy, captain and halfback; John Lundbaun halfback; Mitchell Burns, fullhack: Bill Bancroft. quarterback; Raymond Knight. center; Jim Caw- thorne, guard; Dwight Clarke, guard; Tom Jones, tackle; Charlie Cranford. tackle; Clyde Maxwell, end: Allen Moore, end Manager Palmer Webb.
 The customers were very unfor- tunate at being forced to cut their schedule short an an early date, due to faculty ruling. If they had played more. Bancroft would probably have given anyone in the state hard run for all-state honors at quarter back, although he won this place on the second team with such short service as he gave.
 Hood Deserves Credit
 In spite of the fact that the sea- son was shortened. Coach Hood de- serves much credit, as the Junior Colonels were very successful on the gridiron. The light but fast gold and white team decislvely defeated Disque and Shelby county eleyens. held the strong Yellow Jackets of Ensley to a 6-6 count, only to be trampled under by the unconquered Crimson and White of Central High.
 Woodlawn students are hopefully looking forward to a very success full season next year, as no one will be lost by graduation, and Coach Hood will In all probability return to resume his place at the helm or the gold and white machine.
 Prospects for the basketball season are very encouraging. Such stellar cagesters as Curtis Byrd. Allen Moore. Reubel Moore, Lewis Sellers and Mitchell Burns, from Central Highs strong squad of last year, are out for the Junior Colonefs. Ban croft and Larlxin of last years Y. M c. A. Sunday school league fame are on hand to try their hands at basketeering for Woodlawn.
 Basketball practice Is expected to start immediately after the Christ mas holidays.

Chicago Cubs in 1923 Will Probably Be the
 Youngest Buch of All
By Associated Press

CHICAGO, Dec. f6.-The Chicago Cubs will go into the 1923 National League pennant race with q team made up of more young players than any other club in the major leagues. 1t also will be piloted by the young est manager in the older organiza- tion, William Killefer, 34, who was reappointed for term of two years.
 Forty players are on the club's S roster to report for spring training at Catalina Island.N The majority were with the club In 1922, when Manager Killefer began the process of reconstructlng the club and, with the exception of Marty Krug. who filled in at third base the latter part of the season. will be on hand when called together
 From this array of talent, club of seasoned players is expected, which should be an improvement over the 1922 aggregation, which made a creditable showing despite the fact it finished in fifth place.
 14 HurIers on Squad
 Fourteen pitchers on the Cubs roster will strive for permanent positions. Of these, only one. Grover Alexander, is a veteran. Although handicapped part of the season of 1922 because of lame arm, he still has considerable pitching prowess. Four are southpaws.
 The Cubs are believed to have ac- qrired star players in George Gran than and R. B. Barrett. who will con- test with ten other men signed up for infield positions.
 Charley Hollocher, rated as one of the best shortstops in the majors, should have no trouble winning his regular berth, but Ray Grimes, one of the leading first baseman in the league in 1922, and an excellent bat ter, may find some stiff competition among the other young men.
 Other candidates tor infield berths include Johnny Kelleher, and Joe Klugmann, who returns from At lanta. Bernice de Vieveiros also comes back for another trial. Ten men are slated to battle for outfield berths. The catching department should show to greater advantage in 1923, as Bob OFarrell has developed into one of the best backstops in the league. He probably will be the first string receiver, but will fin. some strong competition in Wirts and Leo Hartnett.

cause the hardening of values for actual cotton. and the difficulty of securing de- sirable spinning grades.
 Markets Quiet
 While there Is seasonable quiet noted in the markets, deliveries on past orders continue large and production in mills centers Is full, In some eastern centers further demands have been made for a restoration of wages to the top reached in war time. and there Is also being organ ized determined effort to bring about further short hour legislation in that sec tion. Scarcity of labor is complained of in some sections. and that tends to keep labor costs high. Jobbers have about completed their inventories and are now devoting their attention to deliveries for spring. Knit goods are being opened for the fall season. Yarn markets are quiet.

NEW YORK Dec. 1e.-The steel mar ket has been unsettled. but on the whole, steady as to undertone, and the trade is not anticipating any material change In the immediat future. With transporta- ton facilities improved, production Is active and producers are catching up with orders although buyers held back to some extent on first quarter prices as prices are not thoroughly established. Pig Iron continues firm with production heavy.
 In copper a firmer tone developed. with an increa sed volume of business. For the first time this year, production of re- fined copper during November was slightly in excess of exports and deliv- cries into domestic consumption While buyers for home consumption are show ing more interest there has also been some improvement in export demand.

 He added that some professors and self-styled reformers. who had tried to abolish football were either nar- row minded, or knewVery little about the game.

Jefferson County High school had the most successful year of foot mall in the history of the school, winning seven out of schedule of nine games. Had it not been for in turies to some of the best players it Is more than likely that even this record would have been beaten
