Big Ten
Grid Champs

CHICAGO, Dec. 7 R -
There will be no disputes for
top honors in Western Confer
ence football, basketball or base
ball If Big Ten faculty represen-
tatives approve q recommenda-
ton Of the leagues directors.
At the opening session of the
conferences annual W n e r
meeting yesterday. the directors
recommended formal designa-
ton of champions in those three
sports. Heretofore, the Big Ten
has allowed the press to select
its major sports champions un-
officially and, occasionally,
there has been q dispute for the
top honors.
Formal recognization Of the
champions, If adopted, would be
made on the basis of games won.
lost and tied, with tie games
counting as a half game won and
a half game lost. The directors
emphasized that the proposal re-
commencing official selection Of
champions was not intended to
determine q conference repre-
sentative for post-season COM
petition-such as football bowl
games.
In making their suggestion 20
the faculty representatives, the
directors mentioned occasional
unfair" team comparisons in
past conference races. In 1893,
for example, Minnesota, which
won only two games but tied
four, was proclaimed by news-
paper writer's as football CO.
champion with Michigan, which
had q record Of five victories
and one tie.
Although faculty representa-
tives met informally to begin
r6iS~ussions ON eligibility re-
quirements brought on by war
time circumstances, no action
was taken.

The minors then promptly re-
fused to change their player bon
US laws which Chandler has de-
clared unfair and illegal" and
decided to wait until today to act
on another propos which
would ban all bonuses for the
signing of players.
Also adopted was . proviso
that no major-minor league rule
should be construed as being
detrimental to baseball, thus
taking from Chandler power
he had inherited from the late
Judge X. M. Lands.
This situation Is expected to
furnish some fireworks at next
