THE STUDENT COUNCIL PASSES
RESOLUTION FAVORING
CHANGE IN RULES.
Agitation for a revision of the con
ference baseball rules has become
strong at the I'niverslty of Kansas,
according to the Daily Kftnsnn. Re
cently a meeting was held composed
of the men's student council and
members of the athletic board at
which a resolution to the following
effect was adopted:
"The student council will undertake
to secure from candidates on the base
ball team a full and truthful account
Of their athletic careers, provided that
the Missouri Valley conference will
I glvo a reasonable assurance that It
.will reinstate to eligibility men who
may bo technically ineligible, but who
In reality are amateurs."
Professor Meriting Is given ns au
thority for the statement that it has
been the Custom at Kansas in the past
to take the candidate's word concern
ing his eligibility as an amateur, and
as a result the rule has ' not been
strictly enforced.

MICHIGAN AMUCK
SO WRITES SPORTING EDITOR IN
LATE NUMBER OF
COLLIER'S.
Writing on the position taken by
Michigan in regard to the Chicago
conference and the attitude of the
school toward athletics in general,
Casper Whitney criticises the spirit
of the school severely. Part of his
editorial follows:
".Michigan represents the spirit that
subordinates all to the winning. From
tho days of open .professlonnllsm-r-subsequently
cleaned tip It has
seemed to be ruled by Its paid coaches
and managers, whose chief and only
concern Is to make winning teams. It
Is in opposition at present because it
refuses to subscribe to the excellent
regulations of tho conference col
leges: and' Its attitude Ib by no meanB
endorsed by the best of Its own
alumni who are dissatisfied to the
point of rebellion against the unpleas
ant position in which their manage
ment has placed them. Michigan

Kansas This Week.
Tho varsity five have a schedule of
strenuous training until Friday and
Saturday, when they will meet Kan
sas on the Nebraska floor. Tho Corn
buskers broke even with Kansas on
the Lawrence floor, so that Indica
tions point to a Nebraska victory in
these guinea. Tho varHlty men have
somewhat recuperated from their con
ference tour and are expected to bo in
the best of form by Friday. It is an
nounced that the regular Informnls
will ho held after each" of the Kansas
games.
A great deal of Interest is being
shown by "side-liners" in the manner
in which "Woody" Is coaching the
freshmen. Tho very enthusiastic
manner which htiB always character
ized "Woody's" Btyle has evidently
permeated the freshmen, who will
'robnbly qualify next year as some of
the best material for the university
quintet. It is even heard that the
freBhmen will show tho varsity a fow
things in the gnmes that will be
played between them later in the season.'
APPROPRIATION BILL CARRIES.
Senate- Provides for University With
out a Dissent.
The sonnte yesterday passed House
Roll No. 145, the bill providing for tho
appropriation of 00 per cent of one
mill levy for the "Be of the University
of Nebraska. There w,a no opposition
to the pnssage of the bill. The vote
on the appropriation stood: Yens, .'10;
noes, 0.
Tho present legislature seems ' to
favor the. advancement and "enlarge
niont of Nebraska's great educational
institutions. While this hill is only
tho ordinary hill which is passed each
year for the support of tho university,
the vote on It is lateen by many as
significant of the friendliness of the
Blty.
