At a meeting of the Physical Cul ture board of tho University of Chi cago, at which President JudBon pre sided, the seven game schedule was ojiposed and the attitude of tnebpard. announced as being the same at -its last meeting. As this is the final meeing of the board this year it practically means that, so far as Chicago s concerned; tho five game scaedulo Is a fixture for another season , It was also noted that graduates should not be allowed to play football. Heretofore those taking the "com-, blned course" wore allowed to play. Unless an extra session is called it is probable that tho attitude of the board will romaln unchanged. MAY GO BACK.

Nebr. vs. Muscatine M W " S 5 JR TE r Through tho medium of tho Chicago Intor-Ocoan, Coach Yost takes occa sion to discuss of tho inferior show ing made by tho west in .football dur ing the past two seasons. His re marks, in part, follow: "Results of tho intersoctlonal games of 1907 leave to tho western man no ground for a claim that the . grade of football played by tho leading teams In his Bcction of the country was qual to that oT tho oost teams of the oust. Carlisle defeated Minnesota 12 to 10, and Pennsylvania lowered Mich igan's colors 6 to 0. Truo, tho margin of superiority was so small that the supporters of tho westorn game have a right to argue Michigan and Min nesota as Btrong as Harvard, Weat Point, Cornell and Princdton. Yet, in general terms, eastern superiority cannot be questioned. "Tho stylo of play In the two sec tions, offensive and defensive, was very similar. In the west, na in the east, the different colleges had dif- ferent ideas as to the best plan of attack. Aa a whole, I believe the "weatrTCliea more on tho open game to gain .ground. "It is an undeniable fact that west ern football has of late been far bo low its standard of 1001-1905. "During the season just ended, Min-' nesota scored but two touchdowns one of them against Carlisle yet, from 1901 to 1905 Minnesota averaged 40 points to tho game. ' "Michigan in 1901 defeated Carlisle, coached by Mr. Warner, 22 to 0 in two twenty-minute halves. From 1901 to 1905 Michigan rolled up an average of 50 points every time her team toolc tho field. She scored 86 points against Ohio State, 107 against Iowa -State,' 130 against West Virginia, 128 against Buffalo, and 119 against Michigan Agricultural college. "Yet fof the past two years Mich lgan has been forced 'to extend her- JANUARY 11 0OQOOOO)( self to the very limit to win from this same class of elevens. "So radical a reveres! of form must indicate the existence of a cause, and that cause is familiar to every western football enthusiast It arises from the restrictions of tho Western Conference. r ' "In 1905 a year in advance "of the adoption of the freshman rule In the east western schools barred fresh men from all 'varsity teams.
