players.
With decision to reaffirm their
standing of years against post-sea-
son gridiron contests. the faculty
advisors turned thumbs down on a
plan which would have made the
Rose Bowl game an annual contest
between a Big Ten team and one
from the Pacific Coast Conference.
The faculty representatives point
ing out that no formal proposal for
sucn a reciprocal arrangement ever
had been received from West Coast
authorities. adopted this motion:
Tn view of the wide publicity
given to the matter of prolonging
the football season so as to permit
the playing of post-season games,
it was moved and carried that the
conference reaffirm its ruling
against such extension of the play
ing season"
Little discussion, it was learned,
preceded adoption of the motion,
and the decision was practically
unanimous. On the West Coast,
official silence greeted the Big Ten
action Some were reported favor
ing such a plan. with others OF
posed on the grounds it woulc
wreck national interest in the game,
which on January 2 will send
Southern California and Duke into
action.
Authorization of the training ia
BILE plan was speedily achieved.
Schools will be permitted to furnish
the evening meal daily to players
throughout the gridiron season.

into the second period trailing by

After 10 minutes of play, Penn
State doubled the Terps' score at

an entire sophomore quintet. Mary

to become effective and field goals

Penn State had trouble in the first
half in solving Coach Shipley's zone

reinforce for the forthcoming cam

may be the occasion of numerous
deals. Unfinished business in the

regards class rules, the champion
ships, scoring and Official averages.

club has been reported ready to lis
ten to deals that will fortify a weak
link. The minor league gathering
for years has been the scene of a
major part Of the trading.

officially Wednesday, when Presi-
dent William G. Bramham, who
became commissioner of the organ

present total of 81, presents his an
nual report.
Hotel reservations have been made
by more than 800 delegates, the
group including representatives from
every major league club and a ma
jority of the minors.
An advance rumor that will be
watched is the one attached to the
New York Giants, who have been
reported as having offered st. Louis

or Johnny Mize. The Chicago Cubs
are ready to entertain propositions,
as are the Cincinnati Reds, who are
not satisfied with several positions.

Cleveland, Detroit, Washington
and Pittsburgh are reported ready to
listen to trade talk, and in ad-
vance of the assemblage Of the full
force of baseball chieftains indi-
cations pointed to a busy week for

principal changes sought being those
concerning minimum playing dates,
player options and limits, allowing

George Washington will rule a
slight favorite to end its 1888 foot
ball season with a victory tomorrow
when it takes the field at Griffith
Stadium against West Virginia at 2
pm. in a homecoming game.
The Colonials will enter the con-
test with a record of five victories
against three defeats, while West
Virginia has won only three games
in nine starts.
Furthermore, the Mountaineers
have yet beat major opponent,
while wins over Colorado and
Kansas have helped offset G. WIS
defeats at the hands of Mississippi,
Clemson and Bucknell.
Although the Mountaineers did
something no other team did all
year when they kept undefeated-
united Georgetown from scoring
until the last 6 minutes of play, Dis
trict fans will see one of the big
disappointments of the season in
West Virginia. Before the season
opened, the Mountaineers were re-
ported loaded for bear, but that was
before they played Pittsburgh in the
first game, which they lost, 1870 to
hit the downward trail. Since, the
Mountaineers have been beaten by
Michigan State, Western Reserve,
Georgetown and Manhattan and
have won only from West Virginia
Wesleyan, Creighton and Youngs-
town. West Virginia and Washing
ton and Lee played a 6-6 tie.
However, G. w. is expecting no
easy time with the visitors and al
though Colonial coaches today said
they thought their team would win,
none of them predicted victory by
more than a touchdown margin.
Playing annually on the home
and-home basis, G. w. won the first
three games-two here and one in
Morgantown-but dropped 26-0
decision on the Mountaineers' field
last year.
The game will mark the end of
their college football careers for
seven G. w. players. Vic Sampson,
