A crash fol- lowed that totally wrecked both ears and every one of the eleven occupants of the cars were more or less injured and transferred to the Day Kimball hospital following the accident.
 People early at the accident say that 1t was the worst looking lot Of wreckage they had ever seen. Eleven people cut, bruised and with broken bones were sitting and lying by the roadside.
 Of the eleven people taken to the hospital six still remain as patients. Mrs. Jodoin is among the more seri- ously injured. She has many cuts about the head. fracture at the bridge of her nose and possible inter- nal injuries.

What can we do about it, said
Prof. o. +. Long of Northwestern.
We cannot ask the foot ball players
to pledge themselves not to turn pro-
fessional after they have finished their
Big Ten careers
The only vote involving a question
of amateur status was one to rein
state r. ID. McHague, a student at
Purdue. who. during his high school
days. had accepted S. to play in
base ball game.
The faculty members decided to
ask the athletic directors and coaches
not to send so many scouts to watch
future opponents as the press stands
of the stadium were getting over
crowded with Buffalo Bills They
recommended that the scouts be kept
to one for each scool, at each game,
if possible.
They discussed, but took no action
on proposals to rotate foot ball sched-
ules, so that games might be more
evenly distributed than under the
system whereby the athletic directors
negotiate their games individually
each Winter.
The reelection of Maj. John j.
Griffith by the athletic directors for
his third two-year term as commits
sioner of athletics Of the Big Ten
was affirmed and his work in behalf
of clean athletics was highly praised.
The control of the indoor and out
door track meets of the conference
was taken out Of the hands Of the
graduate managers and given over
to the athletic directors.
Dates for meets were set as fol.
lows:

SO that local gridiron followers who
have been more Or less skeptical as
to the kind of team that would ulti
mately be picked to face the visitors
will recognize that those behind the
game here are bent on Offering the
stiffest kind of competition.
Prospects for a record-breaking
crowd were strengthened last night
with the announcement that the thou
sands of college and school boys in and
Ground Washington are going TO be
given a chance to see their hero III
action at a special rate ticket. After
a lengthy conference over the tele-
phone with Charles c. Pyle, Oranges
manager, who has been handling the
other end of affairs for the Washing

sire the tickets will be required to
identify themselves with an athletic
ticket or something to show that they
attend local or nearby school or col
lege. This will not apply to the grade
school kiddies. who will be taken care
of without. identification.
There is one disappointment in

that President Coolidge will not be
back from his Western trip in time
to meet the boys. However, Senator
Mccormick of Illinois last night eX-
Tended an invitation to AL Stern to
bring Grange and his team to the
Capitol, where they will have a chance
to see the Senate in session, meet the
, Vice President and then enjoy lunch
with a group of Senators in the
