CHANDLER RULES
ON SCHOOL BOYS

CINCINNATI, Nov. 14-(P-A
years suspension from baseball
will be imposed by Commissioner
A. B. Chandler on any one who
violates the rule prohibiting the
signing of high school players, he
announced today.
In the past the penalty has
been $500, with the player being
declared a free agent and the
club prohibited forever from ac-
quiring his services. The new
penalty became effective today,
the commissioner said in a di-
receive to all major and minor
league clubs.
Chandler said in the order:
"Any club official or employee
conducting any such negotia-
tons who does not establish that
he did not know and by exercis-
ing reasonable care and dill
gence could not have known such
interference with such players
eligibility shall be ineligiblized
for one year"
He also told the club officials
to re-read the rule prohibiting
negotiations with high school
boys and said attention is again
specifically called to the fact that
this rule is being interpreted as
applying to all high school stu
dents in the United States and
Canada"

The Wolverines of Michigan,
unbeaten in II straight games and
never beaten at Camp Randall
here, face the University of Wis
consin's Badgers tomorrow with
the Western Conference title and
Rose Bowl hopes at stake.
A crowd of As, 900 will jam the
historic Horseshoe stadium to
watch the Badgers attempt to
snap their home field jinx. An
other 10000 would be there, but
all seats were gone a month ago.
Michigan has been installed a
two-touchdown favorite by most
experts, but the vociferously
partisan fans in this state CAPT
tal-college town think otherwise.
So do the Badger players, who've
shown more zip in practice this
week than at any time during
the season.
