Coaches. officials, ex-players and

pointed out few players had been
killed or even seriously injured in
major college games. OF the 81

REMEDY MEASURES

MINOR SPORTS HARD HIT
Walter Haas, Fullback, Is Elect
ed Football Captain at
Minnesota

Chicago, Dec. 3.-P9-Western con-
ference athletic directors and coach
es will gather in Chicago Friday for
their annual winter meeting, to ar
range schedules and talk about such
things as charity contests and an
ailment described as falling Of the
! gate receipts.
While the directors and coaches
are meeting, the faculty committee
on athletics will get together, prob
ably in secret, for its annual session.
Football schedules for 1892 are
ready and need only to be approved,
| but the annual indoor and outdoor
track and field championship dates
must be selected and awarded. This,
however, probably will leave plenty
of time for the football coaches to
dwell on the unexpected outcome Of
the championship race, and to ex-
change notes on the financial situa-
ton.
Crowds last fall were loft" to an
alarming extent and retrenchments
may cause curtailment of schedules,
especially in minor sports.
The problem already has become
critical at Wisconsin and Iowa. At
Iowa, DR.. E. H. Lauer. director Of
athletics, has announced the Hawk
eye program for next year must be
conducted along lines Of strictest
economy.
State Senator Bernard Gettleman
of Milwaukee has figured out the
University Of Wisconsin's touchdowns
came at the price of $5,454 in the re-
cent season, and has asked why they
should cost so much. The Badgers
finished the football season with an
athletic department deficit of more
than $4,000 and their program prob
ably will be trimmed.
There may also be announcements
Of changes in football coaches, fol-
reports persist Bernie Bierman, now
at Tulane, will succeed Fritz Crislel
at Minnesota, and that Glenn Thistle
thwaite will not be at Wisconsin 8
year hence.
Three more captains have beer
! elected by Big Ten football squads fol
next season. Minnesota has chosen
Walter Haas, halfback: Purdue ha!
named John Oehler, a reserve cen
ter, while Chicago has named Do,
Birney, halfback.
