Chicago. Dec. 4.-Football relations
between Illinois and Wisconsin,, bitter
rivals in the Western conference,
were shattered and then patched up
again at the annual meeting of the
big Ten" coaches here to draft
schedules for the 1928 gridiron cam
paign.
The break in the relations was cir
culated before the schedule makers
went into session, when Coach Zuppke
of Illinois announced that the Illini
had scheduled a game with Nebraska,
1922 champions of the Missouri valley
conference, to be played at Urbana.
Oct. s. and that Wisconsin was to be
dropped from the Illinois schedule,
presumably because of the charge of
professionalism made by both univer-
sites in the midst of the football sea-

After the football coaches retired
for a secret session, however, with
John Richards, the Wisconsin football
mentor on the outside, it was an
nounced that Wisconsin and Illinois
would clash in 1928. the game to be
played at Crbana, Nov. TO-
Jones Represents Badgers.
Thomas E. Jones. Badger athletic
director, represented Wisconsin in the
schedule meeting. When the meeting
announced that all differences had
been patched up to the satisfaction of
all concerned, and that they regretted
the publicity given the situation.
The most surprising break of the
schedule making was the severance OF
football relations between Illinois and
Michigan. Neither Coach Yost Of the
Wolverines nor Zuppke Of Illinois
could agree upon a date, but it was ex-
planned tina there was no ill-feeling
between the institutions. Yost sched-
uled a game with Iowa to be played
at Iowa City on Nov. 8, and this will
be the first meeting of the two uni
versities since 1900.
For the first time in years CHICAGO
will meet Indiana. The game was
scheduled for Chicago on November
10. Although it was expected that
Michigan, Coach Stage said he could
not arrange the proposed contest be-
cause Of the number of hard games
already under contract.
Ohio Off Gopher Schedule.
+ Ohio State split with Minnesota
chiefly because of the long trip neces-
sary to play in Minneapolis. The
buckeyes will meet Purdue instead,
playing in Lafayette.
There will be no East vs.. West in
tersectional games in 1928; Iowa had
an invitation to play Yale, but decid-
ed to confine its opponents to the
west. Coach Stage of Chicago said nc
overtures had come from Princeton
for another series Of games.
| Permission to n1ay a{pht fNOfhaI
games effective with the start of the
1924 season was the most important
action taken by the faculty commit
tee today. The resolution calls for
the playing of football games on every
Saturday during October prior to
TIL nI1sgiving day, but %stipulates that
the squads may not be called together
for practice until two weeks before
the playing Of the first game instead
OF three weeks at present.
The resolution will be voted upon
by each OF the ten faculties in the
conference. and If approved will be-
come operative after the next meeting
of the conference scheduled for next
June. This will not allow the coach
es, however, to put the rule into ef-
feet for the 1928 campaign.
Coaches Like Resolution.
Football coaches welcome the res
~olution which, they said. will give each
mentor a better opportunity to de-
velop winning teams
