Football will bo retained in tho Mis
souri Valley collogeB, although some
stringent limiting rules were adopted
by the conference of faculty represent
atives at thefr meeting Monday in
Kansas City.
Tho MlBBOurl Valley conference waa
permanently organized. Chancellor
Strong of Kansas was elected presi
dent and Doan Isadore Loeb of Mis
souri secretary. Every college in the
conferonco was represented except
Iowa state. Nebraska was represent
ed by Chancellor Avery, Dean Rich
ardB, Regent Lyford and Dr. Clapp;
Kansas waa represented by President
Strong and tho entire board of re
gents; Ames was represented by Pro
fessor Byors, Drake by President Bell,
Washington by Professor Waldo, and
Missouri by her full board of regents.
Resolution Falls.
Immediately after the conference
met a resolution providing that foot
ball should be abolished from the rep
resented institutions after December
1, 1910, was introduced. Tho debate
on this resolution lasted the entire
morning.- Although the conference
was held behind closed doors, it is
known thero was considerable opposi
tion to the resolution and It finally
failed of passage. Kansas was In fa
vor of it and took a very radical posi
tion. Missouri was also rather In
clined against the lifo.of tho game.
Tho other universities, howovor, wore
inoro conservative and- Kansas .and
Missouri gave In after rules wore
adopted limiting tho game.
Chief among tho restrictions placed
on tho school Is tho abolition of the
professional coach. After December
1, 1910, no short time coach will bo al
lowed. Tho coach must be elected by
tho board of regents and hold his of
llco for the full year. This, howovor,
does not do away with student coach
ing, similar to Nebraska's track coach
this year.
No Training Table.
'The .raining table was abolished.
This Innovation begins , immedi

moro than two intercollegiate games
In uny ono school year after Septem

Thore will bo no moro Thanksgiving
day .contests, oxcopt those which ma.

Am op have a five-year qontract for
Thanksgiving day games, but both
havo agrqed to discontinue after two
years. All games after this year are
to bo on intercollegiate grounds and
no outsldo games will be allowed.
Freshman games cannot bo scheduled
with other 'colleges. They will only
ho allowed to play with tho varsity
and class teams. '
A committee, on rules was appoint
ed, each university in the conference
having one representative, this com
mittee, to adopt the playing rules of
the. teams. This year the3 eastern
rules will probably bo endorsed. When
tho organization perfected v Monday
convenes again in December at Des
'Moines this committee will probably
report on the' year' Karnes. "
Tho, summer baseball question was
broached, but nothing definite was
done because of lack of. time. ,It is'
