BIG TEN P0NDERS
CHANGES IN CODE
Directors Would Lift Bans
on Training Table and
Post-Season Games.
Nv CHARTS DJINxUrv
by CHARLES DUNKLEY,
Associa ted Press SHORTS Writer

)H1cAGo. Dec. 4.-Removal Of
4 two restrictions on football in
I the Western Conference were
~ up for consideration today by
the Faculty Committee, after their
presentation had been made by the
director Of athletics.
They were:
Lifting the ban on the modified
training table which would enable the
directors to provide at least one whole
some meal for football players four
times a week. The directors pointed
out that the school already supplied
a meal on Friday night and on Satur.
day when the team played away from
home, and that a player was in a.
much need Of proper diet supervision
after practice as he was on the day
before and the day of the contest.

Training Table Move Dubious.
(UCCESS Of the training table move
appeared doubtful, although some
OF the directors, after mastering new
strength within their own organiza-
ton. felt certain that the faculty rep
resentative would act favorably.
The football coaches, after consider
able discussion of defense and the
professional forward pass rule, which
allows throwing the ball from any
point behind the point of scrimmaee
went on record opposing any change
OF rules. However, they recommended
That games be timed ofIicially by an
electric clock placed on the scoreboard
ard operated from the sideline. and
also that the officials wear shirts or
Jerseys striped in black and white to
distinguish them from players. A
question Of officiating also came uu
Tor airing, with the coaches voting to
ask John L. Griffith. commissioner OF
athletics, to supply them with a COM
plete list Of Big Ten officials, detail
Ing their age and period of service and
petitioning the commissioner to en-
ploy more new men in Big Ten games,
Boost High School OficiaIs.
Several Of the coaches deplored the
dfmculties encountered by promising
high school officials who wanted to
break into the conference oficiatine
circle. They held that high school
games were the best training grounds
for officials.
The Big Ten tennis coaches formed
an association in an effort to stimu-
late interest in this sport. In wrestling
there also was new deal. Bouts
henceforth will be decided on points
as follows: Three points for . near
fall, two points for a go-behind, either
from underneath or on foot. and one
point for an escape from fall.
Schedules for the 1898 track season
were completed with the decision to
hold the conference indoor champion

This offers further proof OF the rapid

for Lou put in season or 80 in

two or three teams at the same time
reflects the hardships OF that era
Lou was paid $40 for playing a game
In Pennsylvania coal town one Sat-

team about his injury, fearing that,
If he did. he wouldn't be allowed to

Compare that with the conditions
today, where the players are as we'll
trained and we'll looked after as the
major league ball players; play under
the same conditions and before crowds
just as big. and draw as much money
as the big time ball players in return
for their. skill.
That last item-the kind of money
the professional players make today
Is the most important item in the de-
velopment Of the game. OF course.
Formerly, the professional football
player had a week end job only, and
1t didn't pay him enough to keep
him, 50 that he had to work at some
thing else during the week. Thus,
he had scant time in which to prac-
tice and was lucky il he could get in

Now, the professional teams practice
