events in which qualifying heats were
run. The meet, however, promised TO

including Wisconsin, fighting Tor the
championship honors. ONO State'

come dangerous challengers. This trio
qualified five athletes, with Indiana ana
Chicago placing four, and Minnesota

Iowa, the defending champion. re-
turning to Big Ten competition for the
first time since its suspension, tied with
Northwestern and Purdue with two

FOOT BALL IS HELD
TO BE TOO INTENSE

SAN FRANCISCO, March Wv.
w. Campbell, president of the Univer-
sity of California, is Of the opinion that
foot ball on the Pacific Coast, and espe-
cialy in California. has become decid-
edly too intense for the good of the
universities concerned, and especially
for the good of the players"
In an article in the current issue Of
the San Francisco Argonaut, weekly
publication, President Campbell describ-
ed the advance of foot ball to the det-
riment of other college athletic acttvi-
ties.
He diSapproved Atlantic Coast-Pacific
Coast games in term-time, with the fol-
lowing observations:
In my opinion, such games serve no
useful purposes whatsoever, and the
members Of the travelling foot ball
squads sacrifice 10 valuable days to each
trip. Chiefly because the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA teams had twice in the
preceding four years played New Year
games in Berkeley, consented to re-
turn game to be played in Philadel-
pnia in october, 1929"

ELECTIONS LIKELY
TO Be PASSE SOON
Plan of Coaches Selecting
Leaders for a Game or
Period Favored.

w WITHIN short time selection
M of captains of sports teams
v at the end of the preceding
season will be passe in high
and prep schools here, according to al
indications. There is strong tendency
manifest to have the coaches appoint
leaders before each contest in the case
of foot ball or for week or so in case
of basket ball and other sports.
Proponents of the plan claim that
there are obvious advantages to be
gained by doing away with election CT
captains by letter winners. In the hrst
place such a move effectually takes the
matter "out of politics" 1t is pointed out.
Every one supposed to know anything
about the situation agrees that fraterni-
ties not infrequently control the selec-
ton of leaders of sports teams. AS
result it happens sometimes that cap
tains are picked who do not meet the
approval of coaches and do not prove
capable leaders.
Another advantage of selecting
leader for each game or group OF con-
tests is that the players have the incen-
tive of being picked for the honor to
make them battle their hardest.
There appears to be plenty Of ground
for attaching less weight to the I'M
portance Of early selection Of captains
of sports teams in the public high
schools as well as prep schools in the
District
Announcement has just been made
that Western will elect no captain for
its basket ball team next season. Coach
Moore will name leader for each

Serious consideration is being given

to the plan of playing two games twice

was followed this Winter. Play IS over
