the DOPE
-7OMETHING is likely to
Nj happen at the meeting OF
the Indiana Collegiate Con-
BY VEDD~ER g A ID

nool Hotel, 10 a. m. Some Of the
smaller colleges are not very salts
fed with the conference and there
seems to be an undercurrent OF
rebellion. 1t is unlikely that the
association will break up because
there is no sign Of concerted
action.
Among other things the fresh
men rule prohibiting the playing OF
first year men has worked con-
siderable hardship on the smaller
schools. 1t is always the little
fellows that get the worst Of it in
such an organization-not especial
ly because the large schools crack
the whip" but because the con-
ditions imposed in various rules
are more easily lived up to by the
big institutions.
Some of. the schools, it is re-
ported, have not been paying much
attention to the conference regula-
tons. At the meeting there is
possibility of even more drastic
means being devised to enforce
regulations or a possible pulling
away Of some Of the small In
situations. The latter seems I'M
probable to us.
Rose Poly is good and sore" The
Terre Haute school has withdrawn
it's protest filed against Southern
and Kern Of the Evansville col
lege football team at the request OF
the alumni committee.
The protest was made just be-
fore the Rose Evansville game on
Oct. "a. and has not been acted
upon. Southern took part in all
games and was the star Of the
club. Kern also has played since
the protest was made. Rose
charged that both men were
ineligible, because they had not
been students at Evansville one
year. Southern played at Ohio
State and Kern at De PAW.
Professor Wischmeyer OF Rose
Poly sent the following letter to
Professor Oldfather, president of
the I. A. c.:

HALK us up with an error.
IL The only thing we can say
is-"To err Is human, to
forgive, divine" The other day we
stated that the Elks' national bowl
ing tourney was to be in Mil
waukee when 1t is to be held right
here at the Elks' club alleys. The
Elks are such good sports we
know they'll forgive us.
The tourney will be one Of the
biggest ever put on in Indianapo-
lis. Word was received today that
Detroit will send between twenty
five and thirty clubs and will make
the trip on a special train with a
band along to help whoop things
up.
And, by the way. better go over
to the Elk alleys Saturday after
noon or night and see one Of the
worlds greatest bowlers in action

COMMUNITY'S interests
IA are so interviewer that one
l9 activity, which seems to
have nothing in common with an
other, vitality affects it. On first
thought, what connection does
basketball seem to have with the
industrial board and fire marshai's
Office of this State? Listen to this
There was conference the
other day between Dixson II. By
mum, chairman of the Industrial
board; Alfred Hogdson, State fire
marshal and Henry N. Sherwood,
superintendent OF public instruc-
ton.
The result of this meeting was
that deputies from the fire mar
shars Office and the industrial
board will be on hand i'm certain
localities to limit attendance at
games where there has been dan
gerous Overcrowding.
The average Hoosier is sensible
enough on most questions. But
basketball is his weak point. Other
wise perfectly normal, he needs a
tests. It's a wonder some per-
fectly good gym has not been torn
down when the doors were closed
with bowling crowd outside un-
able to get in.
Sport of all sort takes the
civilized being back many GEN.
turtles into the primitive. The
veneer of custom slips away.
What does a real fan care about
danger of fire or accident?
The spectator is filled with the
zest of conflict. Those youths out
there on the court are fighting his
battles. He enters into the spirit
of it with all his energy.
The deputies have the advantage
over ordinary folks. They will be
able to get into the gyrns-maybe.
