Conference Committees.
There is no Eastern university confer
ence and no Eastern university unity
The Middle West happens to have this.
There is great chance for student con-
ferences from the Big Ten to meet and
express the undergraduate point Of view.
There is at least no other way to find
out Just what the undergraduate point
of view is In regard to competitive sport.
If the students think 1t is being over
played they can in this way at least
express their opinions, and these opin-
ions are bound to carry lot of weight.
If there are any changes to be
made they will have to be made
gradually. There can be no sudden
wrenching apart Of the present sys-
tenn, which may be good, bad or in :
different. There is no student or
ganization that can carry any force
or present its point Of view.
College sport rs become one Of the
big features Of many games, and as long
as the students are furnishing all the
raw material they should have some
thing to say about Its handling. Or at
least should have more to say than the
students of most universities have today.
1t would be an experiment worth trying
and might lead to both interesting and
instructive results
Certain Complications.
It might be that the students Of Cor
nell might want one system. while the
student bodies of Dartmouth and Har-
ward wanted another.
It might be that some university
might want to abolish all intercollege
athletics. If they felt that way about it,
there is no reason why they should be
forced into programs they don't care for.
The present system at least has
built up mass athletics for the en-
tire group far beyond anything the
past had to offer. This must be
taken into consideration.
The big idea is to get the undergrad
| uate point of view and to give the un-
dergraduate chance to express his
side of the situation. The undergrad
uate is the basis and bulwark and main
product of competitive sport. He de-
serves louder voice than he has been
given up to date in something that af-
fects him so directly for three or four
years of his life. g.
Just Ahead.

Slicing our drives from every tee
