I withdraw from all present arrange
ments with the A. A. U. in reference
! to the Olympic games, and is taking
steps to have the secretaries of war
and navy reorganize the national pol
icy of the states as to the control of
the Olympic games, according to
Phipps.
Not only are the National Collegi-
ate Athletic association and the Ma
tional A. A. union at outs-they are
at swords points" Phipps continues.
Stage field will be the scene of the
national track and field meet this
spring as usual A. A. Stage of the
University of Chicago will be in
charge, assisted by Prof. J. L. Griffith
OF Illinois T., and T. Z. Tad" Jones
of Wisconsin.
Professional football came in for its
share of condemnation even more
than usual. No official who works in
pro football games will be used as an
official in collegiate contest, accord
ing to a vote of the conference, and
football officials won a warm place
for themselves by agreeing to organ
ize with regular rules, and make each
other live up to said rules.
Signed contracts, binding in every
| respect, will govern officials from
now on, something that should have
, been done years ago.
The old war against the gentle art
of fisticuffs was decided once and for
all.
And faYorably too.
A national intercollegiate boxing
carnival will be held in Philadelphia
in March, and with the sanction of
the colleges of the United States.
Post-season games are evidently in
| a deal of disfavor. The conference
took a Ia ut Eo
affairs, altho- intersectionaI games
were sanctioned. The games causing
| long trips should be included in the
schedule, according to the conference
decision.
All in all. Phipps' version of the
conference meeting is one of opti-
mfsn.
TT was one of the most successful
meetings in recent years." he writes.

to 81, in a game featured by the work
of Brewster and Stevens of Washburn,

Kansas university won her second
Missouri Valley victory onWhe basket
ball court for the 1922 season by de-
feating Drake university last night at
Lawrence, IS to %.
Altho neither team was able to do
effective work in the first half of the
initial period, the last part of the first
half saw fast floor work.
Many chances for baskets were
missed by Kansas forwards in the
early stages of the game, and not I'M
til Endacott, Kansas guard broke the
jinx with field goal, did the Jay
haWkerS show any evidences of a win.
Captain George Rody, K. u. hit his
stride in the last half and Gagged five
goals from the floor during a short
space of time Payseur, veteran
Drake forward did remarkable work
for the Duck-shop players.
The game last night was the first
chance for Kansans to show dope on
Missouri. The Tigers defeated Drake
easily, 81 to rs, recently.
