Nebraska Considered
 fhe Valley Champion

Kansas City. Mo, November 12.- Nebraska's not-unexpected victory over Kansas by 2S to score yes- terday. leaves it with strangle hold on the Missouri Valley Conference football championship.
 The Nebraska title still is tech- nically disputed by the Kansas Az gies and by Drake. Neither of these teams have lost a game. but the Drake eleven has not made the im- pressive showing Nebraska has. The Kansas Aggies also remain unde- feated, but two tied games cut con- siderably into their championship possibilities.
 The only unexpected victory yes terday was that of Oklahoma over Missouri. It was the Sooners' first victory and from past performances. she was not rated to get the long end of the 1S-2 count against the Tigers.
 Although Ames had met defeat at the hands of two other conference teams the 12 to defeat by the Kan sas Aggies was somewhat more lop- sided than was expected.

A. 4. '. May Abolish
 Registration Fee
 for Its Athletes

New York. November 12.-Abolish- 1 Ing of registration fees for athletes admitted to membership in the Anna teur Athletic Union, Is one of the
 most important of proposed amend
 ments to the A. A. U. constitution. which will be acted on at the na- tional convention of tho organization here November 1s. 20 and 21.
 This amendment. proposed by of-
 ficlals of the South Atlantic A. A. U., would eliminate the annual re-
 newal clause in the registration re-
 quirements. Under the present sys- tenn. charge of 25 cents is made ! for each registration and athletes are
 required to register each year. Econ omy has been urged as tho reason for doing away with the method, inves- | tigation having revealed that it costs
 the association 37 cents for each in-
 dividual card issued.
 Disqualification as amateurs of life guards and bath or play ground attendants who receive compensation for their services. Is sought in an other proposed amendment included in the report for the A. A us leg islative committee and made public today Athletes holding such posi- tions who do not coach, instruct or give exhibitions in connection with their duties would be permitted 10 retain their amateur standing but,
 under another section of the amend
 ment, be ineligible to competition until disassociation from such employ ment. Such change. it Is pointed out. would affect the status of a | number of leading swimmers, par ticularly those in college ranks, who accept employment on beaches during summer months.
 Anothor proposal provides that or- ganixations seeking out-of-town stars as attractions for meets must deal with the club or organization with which the athlete Is affiliated, instead of the individual. In the case of un- attached athletes. 1t would be oom- pulsory on the part of the orEaniza- ton holding the meet to negotiate with the chairman of the registration committee of the A. A. U. with which tho athlete was registered. This pro posal. 1t was asserted. is aimed at minimizing the possibility of exorbi- tant demands for expenses by ath- letes.
 Important among changes urged in swimming competition Is a proposal to hold all outdoor championships as ono meet at centrally situated place, extending over period of three days, instead of the custom of awarding title events to clubs and organizations all over the country. The metropolitan branch of the A. A. U. also has recommended that in- ternational diving rules, with slight
 notifications, govern in the future all A. A. U. competitions in this speciality.
 Numerous minor changes in box ing, wrestling, gymnastic. handbail and volley ball rules also are among those sought.

U. s. G. A. PROTESTS BACKWARDS FOR PROS
By Associated Press

New York. November 12.-The United States Gulf association today issued warning and protest against the growing practice of offering large purses as an inducement to pro- fessionals to compete in open tourna- ments and exhibitions.
 While the United States Golf as sociation," says . statement of the executive committee, "has no desire to hinder or hamper any professional from competing in prize money tournaments or from earning money to the limit of his ability, neverthe- less, the present officials feel that if the practice now in vogue is not checked, great harm will be done in creating class of progessional play CTS who will devote their entire time and attention to attending tourna ments.
 The executive committee Is aware or the great development of the game of golf within the past few years both by professionals and amateurs
 Tt is also aware of the keen de- sire of the ordinary golfer, through out the country, to witness the per formance of the leading professionals and we assume that the growing in- terest in the game Is partly respon- sible for the money inducements of fered in open competitions.
 The committee feels that in their efforts to promote and kep alive the best interests of the game, they can not allow this practice to continue or increase without a protest.
 Tt Is therefore earnestly re- quested that member clubs and sec tional associations give this matte, their earnest consideration. and in the future, when contemplating the staging of such tournaments, that the question of moderate prize none, awards be carefully considered. bear- ing in mind that if this pastime is allowed to be commercialized by the professionals, as in other sports. tho phenomenal interest now taken by the ordinary golfer in the game vii be nullified to great extent"

MODERN SHOES IMPROVING
Eugene Lyman Fisk. NJ. D. in Tn HAaifh Builder

Health Builder.
 We are wont to ridicule the Chi nese women for deforming their feet, and we flatter ourselves that our civilization Is far ahead of the Chinese. Relatively our foot gear is quite as stupidly atrocious as that adopted by the Chinese women. Of late there has been change in fashions and we see a wider use of hygienic forms of shoes. The situa- tion as regards women's feet at one time seemed desperate and hopeless, but with the coming of sport clothes. tho wearing of sandals and moro sem sible forms of shoes is noted. It 10 not wise for the slender type of woman who has a high arch and has been accustomed to wear high-heeled shoes to go abruptly to sandals or flat heels. The medium heeled, flex- ible arched shoe with straight fn- ner edge is safer. Theoretically, all should be able to wear sandals. But We are dealing with the adult pop ulation. We have to meet the results of years of bad training, bad feed ing. and maladjustment to primitive -conditiona.
