lation they would get the credit for
their efforts to cleanse college sports.
The proposed makeup of the new con-
ferences consists of colleges and universi-
ties which now play football and basket
ball games with each other. If the con-
ference was formed 1t would give all
the institutions a definite standing in the
field of sports and would result In
greater interest in the sports by the lay
public.
Among the universities and colleges
proposed for the conference are: Michi-
gan Aggies, Wabash, Creighton, Univer-
sity Of North Dakota, University of
South Dakota, Detroit University, Notre
Dame, Nebraska, Marquette, St, Louis
and possibly Kansas.
These would make an exceptionally
strong circuit. Most of the colleges are
located in large cities insuring q posi-
bility for sufficient financial support.
A meeting will be held in st. Paul the
early part Of next week, at which time
the formation Of a Northwest confer
ence" will be considered 1t Is not i'm
probable that two new circuits will grow
out of this meeting.

CHICAGO, Feb. reformation Of a
new western collegiate athletic conference,
composed of the larger and more inauen-

Big Ten, appeared likely today.
Agitation toward formation Of q new
conference which has been heard for sew
eral years has approached a head since
the recent airing Of professionalism
charged among college athletes OF the
Mid West.
Organization of a conference, its back
ers claim, would result in the drawing
up of definite eligibility rules and
would lift suspicion from all colleges
were there might now be any thought Of
faint Of professionalism.
There has long been a general feeling
that any college not coming under regu-
lations was making its own eligibility
rules. This, however, has not been the
case, as the Miidwestern colleges have
lived up to the standard set by the Big
Ten regulations nearly as well as the
Big Ten members themselves. If they
