eliminating in the arrangement Of
schedules for more than one team dur
ing the 1923 foot ball season, is a great
movement toward the goal Of COM
petitive athletics for all, not more ath-

to get more men into games, but not
to add to play by the varsity as now
constituted a movement to give COM

schools. 10 faculty members, 10 attn

of boards of trustees, regents. etc, and
10 students.

first was:

The answer was virtually unanimous
In the affirmative.
A proposition indorsing home and
home games between possibly equal
teams of member schools Of the West

the committee. however
