Marine Eleven Cshes Sd Army Corps Feuos Due Big League
ILLINl NOT TO PLAY
N0TRE DAME IN 1925

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, December 6-The long
talked of game between Illinois and
Notre Dame on the gridiron next
Fall failed to materialize at the
schedule meeting of Western Con-
ference foot ball coaches here today
Coach knute Rockne announced his
willingness to rearrange his sched-
ule to fit the needs of Illinois, hut
previously scheduled contests at Illi-
nofs finally led Coach Robert Zuppke
and Athletic Director George Huff Of
Illinois to decline the issue.
The date of October 10 was once
tentatively arranged for the contest
which has stirred Middle Western
foot ball circles, but Illinois officials
finally concluded that such a series
of hard games early in the season
would make their schedule tops
heavy.
Huff declared he was through
scheduling games to accommodate
other coaches, regardless of the ar
rangement OF his heavy games ana
pointed to the Minnesota disaster in
the 1924 season as an accommodation
game. which probably cost the illiui
the championship, coming at the end
of a row Of tough games when the
team had nearly gone stale.
Rockne and Huppke shook hands on
game in 1926.
Representatives of Nebraska and
the Michigan AggieS today applied
for membership in the Western Con-
terence, but at their own request, no
action was taken by the faculty COM
mittee of the Big Ten at this time.
Both schools will be considered at
such time as il is deemed advisable
to enlarge the association, the faculty
committee decided.

HAVANA HOLDS SOUTHERN
TO 90 IN SECOND GAME

TAMPA, Fla, December 6.-Cnder
a swe1tering tropical son elevens of
the University of Havana and South
ern College of Lakeland played a
scoreless tie here today in the second
meeting of the two teams within a
week. Southern defeated the Cubans
Last week. The Floridians apparently
suffered from the heat far more than
did the island visitors.
The Havana team took the often
sive most of the game, exhibiting a
dash, and drive that were lacking in
the first clash. The playing of Har-
mon, former Mercer star and now
halfbaek for the University of Ha-
vana, was especially noteworthy.
Espinosa of the Cuban team played a
stellar role in the +. fuilback position.
For Southern, Rees, halfback, and
Lott quarterback, were tho stars.

In fact, so unanimously were these
resolutions killed that even those
that sent them to the COMMITTEES on
constitution and bylaws failed to
register vote in favor of one of
them.
Prior to the meeting today all Off
GERS and all representation on the
executive committee had been CEN
tered in the central part of the con-
ference territory, but the action to-
day distributes the representation
from Maryland to louisiana
Also a shifting of the officers of
the conference was effected, more
widely separating this representa-
ton. S. V. Sanford of Georgia was
reelected president for the third
consecutive year, but DR.. George ].
Ferguson of Virginia was chosen as
vice president and DIR. W. H. Funk

One question which produced lot
of debate, but which everybody
seemed to think would not amount
to much one way or another, was that
of the custom prevalent in many in

that this should be discontinued.
