Indiana have 10 games each on their
four-year programs.
Minnesota Accepts Dates.
Announcement of the new 1920
schedule arrangement came at a time
when there appeared agitation favor
ing a rotating schedule which would
determine definitely each year a con
ference champion. Minnesota was one
of the strongest indorsers of the rotat-
ing plan, but is understood now to be
ready to accept the four-year plan.
Abolition. at least until after 1880,
of the year-to-year scheduling, which
has frequently proved troublesome,
was indorsed last November at meet
ing in Washington of presidents of the
big ten schools. Eight of the univer-
sity presidents approved the four-year
schedule plan and requested their 'ath-
letic directors to draw up such a
schedule.
The new schedule, which yet must
be approved by faculty representa-
tives of the schools, was arranged at
secret meetings of the directors with
Maj. John L. Griffith, commissioner of
athletics, last week.
