But the court says there is no

A. A. U. Restricts International Athletics for All Members

Baltimore, Md. Nov. 16 P)- Adoption of policy restricting in ternational competition prior to. the 1928 Olympic games, reelection of Murray Hubert of New York for a third term as president, selection of either Cincinnati or Buffalo as the 1927 convention site were the slate for the closing sessions of the Amateur Athletic Unions conven- tion today. The delegates will move to Washington tomorrow joining with other representatives of other sports governing bodies for the quadriennial meeting of the Am, rican Olympic association.

WOLVERINES HAVE
 TOUGH CONTEST ON
Michigan Meets Minnesota
 Again Before Northwestern

Chicago, Nov. 16 R-A queer twist in the 1926 western conference football schedule threatens to toss the Big Ten championship just be- yond the grasp of Michigan.
 For of the two elevens fighting 1t out in the stretch of the title race. Michigan has the harder final test because of a schedule irregularity that makes Minnesota a foe for the second time of the season.
 Northwestern, on the other hand. having had two easy victories over Indiana has benefited by the twist and Is decided favorite to down Iowa while the Wolverines brace against Minnesota's assault.
 Six weeks ago the two games looked like good fortune for Michi- gan, just after 20 to victory in the first of the series. The fall has shown that defeat to be the turn however. and the Gophers now loom in Michigan's path after an omin- ous S1 to 0 conquest of Butler.
 Both Yost and Spears labored to- day with teams in perfect condition. At Michigan the old air machine was given a preliminary running over and at Minnesota Spears plung- ed into the series of new plays giv- en his team last week but not, as Michigan knows, used in the crush ing victory over the Hoosier eleven.
 Northwestern turned to the finale with Iowa refreshed by days va cation ordered by Thistelwaite in celebration of the conquest of Chi cago, polishing up the same attack that humbled the Purple's ancient rivals.
 Stagg. laboring against the effects of another defeat for Chicago, marshalled his forces with an ad- mitted chance of turning back Wis consin in the renewal of their old warfare.
 Illinois is grooming the drop kicking Forcty Peters and his mates to catch Ohio State after the Michigan game and rise above the Buckeyes for a possible second rank in the Big Ten standing. Indiana and Purdue are grooming for the fifth of the games which ring down the seasons curtain with every team in action. Rockne put behind him the Army defeat and royal welcome back to South Bend, and engaged himself today in planning Saturdays tactics against Drake.

QUEEN MARIE HAVING
 VERY STRENUOUS TIME
But Her Good Appetite and Ability
 To Sleep Well Carries Her Through

Chicago Nov. 16 R-Sound sleep, a hearty appetite, plenty of exer- else, and good humor enable Queen Marie untiringly to face the eXten- sive daily programs of her visit here.
 This was the fatigue combating prescription furnished for an official of the University of Chicago when he suggested during a visit to the university that perhaps her majesty had been wearied by the continuous entertainment arranged for her in Chicago.
 T sleep soundly, my appetite is splendid, I get plenty of exercise and I keep in good humor," she said. "So you see, there is no req son whyI should get tired.
 T feel as fresh as though I'd just come out of an egg"
 An extensive program faced the Queen of Rumania today beginning with an inspection of the new Illi- nois WOmen's club house in the morning, and concluding with visit to the Chicago Civic opera in the evening, the guest of Ira Nelson Morris, her Chicago host, followed by a supper at the Blackstone.
 The queen paused in her program to authorize a statement through Maj. Stanley Washburn, her aide, denying emphatically that her visit was to have reflex in a Rumanian loan, in connection with reports from Bucharest that American and British bankers were engaged in negotiations.
 Likewise the queen denied through her aide that her decision to short ] en her trip was the result of politi- 1 cal rather than personal pleadings Tho only message which Queen Ma rie had received from Bucharest the aide said, have been personal ones from King Ferdinand, from one of her daughters. Queen Ma rie of Serbia, and from other mem | bers of the family.

by foreign athletes also has devel- oped as result of controversy which followed Nurmis 1925 tour and the invasion of Charley Hoff, Norwegian pole vaulter. this year. Nurmi's financial affairs were under fire for some time, although the Finn was cleared of all charges against him. Hoff has turned pro- fessional and Gued the A. A. U. for damages as an outgrowth of hav- ing his financial arrangements ques- toned and being declared ineligible for amateur competition.
 One result of the Hoff case has been the tabling of official recogni- tion of all of the sensational pole vault records he established last winter before his amateur status was questioned. This was done by the convention in spite of commit tee recommendation for the accept ance of the Norwegian's best mark of 13 feet, 8 1-2 inches, made at Chicago.
 The A. A. U. has added 159 Amer ican record performances to the books out of total of 217 claims for records made in track and field as we'll as swimming during the past year. These are featured by the recognition of two new sprint marks-9 5-1O for 100 yards by Charley Paddock of Pasadena, Cal. and 20 5-19 seconds for 220 yards by Roland Locke of the University of Nebraska. The fact that tenth second watches. used in both in stances, are now regarded interna- fionany as inaccurate has put both records in a.peculiar position. how ever. They will i>e ranked as Amer ican standards but probably not recognized universally. Meanwhile. the A. A. IT., has decided to ban the tcnth-second time pieces in favor Of
