BIG NINE YOTES TO
AB0L1SHBASE BALL

to Be Given Up.
TO SAVE ELIGIBILITY TROUBLES
CHICAGO, Pec. 4. Members of the Big
Nine faculty committee today sounded
the death knell of base ball as an Inter
collegiate sport In the conference. In ad
dition to rcfuslnir, by a top-heavy vote,
to sanction summer base ball playing by
their athletes tha committee voted to
refer to each Institution a resolution
providing for the abolition of the dia
mond sport entirely except for class
contests.
As most of the delegates voted under
Instructions, It la presumed that the col
leges will support their resolution and
that Intercollegiate baie ball will bo
given up before the spring season starts.
An objection by only one university will
force a reconsideration of the resolution
by the committee and unless a special
mooting of the committee Is called for the
reconsideration before Its regular meet
ing, the single objection would have the
effect of allowing one more base ball
season.
According to conference rules the align
ment of the delegates on the question
was not given out. Secretary T. C. Moran,
Purdue representative, said that the vote
on the abolition of Intercollegiate base
ball waa 7 to S and for the retention of
the summer base ball rule, to S.
Ball Players Not A ma tears.
Advocates of the anti-base ball resolu
tion argued that the abolition of the game
would do away with 7l per cent of eligi
bility que (inns. They declared that base
bail has become so commercialised that
Its retention as a college sport was not
desirable. That college base ball teams
are rarely wholly amateur was another
point they brought up.
Abolition of the bame followed as a
natural sequence the committee's re
fusal to let down tha bars on summer
base ball. Minnesota this week voted to
do away with the sport and Illinois rep
resentatives were quoted as saying they
would give It up entirely If there were not
a mora liberal handling of summer base
ball.
There were no sppllsatlons for mem
bership In the conference. It had been
reported that Nebraaka, Notre Dame and
tha Michigan Aggies would seeg admis
sion. I
Reports that there had been technic!
violations of the rule against foot ball
practice before September ' 10 were re
ceived. A committee was appointed to
Investigate. A committee to Investigate
the physical effects of cross- country run
ning also was appointed.
snail Elected Prealdeat.
Dean Email of Chicago was elected
president and Prof. Moran re-elected sec
retary. Prof. Moran was chosen delegate
to the meeting of the National Collegiate
Athletlo association meeting In New Tork,
December 18.
The secretary was Instructed to draw
uniform eligibility blanks and a resolu
tion passed requiring all athletes to sign
their blanks In the presence at faculty
authorities.
Sentiment was not found strong In fa
vor of the establishment of soccer foot
ball and golf as Intercollegiate sports and
no action was taken on them. The com
mittee voted to require one day of open
foot ball practice a week, but declined to
limit secret practice to two days.
On recommendation of the managing
committee the faculay committee voted
to add the Javelin throw to the conference
program. The managing commlttee'a
recommendation that the conference In
door track meet and swimming meet be
held at Northwestern, March 17 and 1;
that tha outdoor meet be held at Chi
cago, June 1. and that tha tennis tourna
ment be held at Chicago, May IS, 38 and

Jim Thorpe Is Some

Larry McLean, es-medlcine man of the

of the eating proclivities of Martin Bherl

"If I were running a 13 a week boarding

that my house waa complete without
Thorpe. I don't know how Jim compares

Five places on an All-Missouri Valley
conference eieven this year must go to
tha University of Nebraska. This may
sound surprising to loot ball followers,
who regard mora of the CornhusKers
as all-vailry material, especially in view
of the apparent case w.th which Stiehm's
men swept the valley of all opponents,
but It must be remembered that ot the
tho fourteen men used regularly by
stlehm eight were p.aylng uuir l.i.i
year of foot ball and have not had the
necessary experience.
The five Neuraakans, who got placea
are: Chamberlain, Kutherford, Corey,
Abbott and Shields. The remainder ot
the first team Is made up of the tnree
Kansas men, one Drake man, one Ames
man and one MIssourian.
v Of course, the captaincy of tho all
valley eleven goes to Dick RutheiforJ.
the Cornhusker pilot. Kutherford is
taslly the best half back In the valley
and he was the leader of the champion
ship team. No haltback In the confer
ence this year even approached Kuther
ford In either offensive or deienslve abil
ity and he was almost irreproachable In
terference for Chamberlain.
Collina Rank! Second.
No other halfback In the valicy shines
so brilliantly as Kutherford and it Is
somewhut difficult to select a tunning
mate for him. Collins of Missouri ap
pears to be lue neat oust bet, s.uiuu.n
Collins' side-kick, i'lttain, can be suiil
to be ono of the beat Hue piungers in
the conference. But Collins ls a much
better defensive player than 1 lttam and
he la faster, so tne position must so
to him. 1'ittam Is given a place on the
second eleven.
Dlndsey of Kansas snd Lewis of Wash
ington are the two candidates for full
back. It ls somewhat of an arbitrary
selection to piace Undsey at full as he
played other backfieid positions, Includ
ing quarter, this year. But Lndsey is
a good plunger, good enough to be
piaieu at tun, auu he Is aa good at
skirting the ends. And Linusty is the
best punter In the valley and clever at
booting field goals. Lewis of Washing
ton also excells with his boot, he is
even a better goat kicker than Linusey,
out he has not the ground-gaining aoii
ity, nor ls he the defensive player the
Jayhawk is.
Moaa for Pivot Position.
The quarterback position, ot course,
must go to Moss of Ames, although that
athlete spent most of his time at half
uiis season. Muss Is the only man in
the valley, who manlicsted steilar quar
terback ability. : Both Caiey . and Cooa
are too inexperienced for the job and the
next best bet is Touchestone ' of Wash
ington, who ls a most reliable player.
Moss ls capable of dliectlng a team anu
Is an open-field runner of recognised
power.
An all-valley line this year la a tower
of strength Indeed. With the wonderful
Chamberlain on the left wing and Kebcr
of Kansas on the other with such men
as Corey and Abbott In between. It
would be hard to find a better forward
wail.
Chamberlain, certainly, stands head and
shoulders above the other ends of the
valley. Tho big Cornluiaker is easily as
good an end as there is In the land and
it is not necessary to dwell upon his
virtues.
Many Good Eads,
The other end position goes to Reber
of Kansas, although there were a num
ber of other good ends this year. Reber
Is a third-year veteran, fleet of foot, good J
at gouig uovtn uii-ei' punu anu a mu.it
only a wisard interference can fool, block
off, or eliminate In any other way irom
the play. Bpeelman of Missouri, Packer
of Ames, who la probably as good as
Keber, but played In only a game or two
this year, and Kandall of the Kansas
Aggies, are all great ends.
To Corey, captain-elect of NebrasKa,
and James ot Kansas are awarded the
tackle poslUons. Corey U like a rock on
the defense and can generally be de
pended upon to open a hole on the of
fense, while James of Kansas ls almost
aa good a man both defensively and of
fensively. James Is, if anything, a little
ouicker on the lump than Corey. These
two men easily outshine their other rivals
ot the valley.
Abbott and fc hit Ids are the Missouri val
ley guards, although McKlnley of Ameg
might be aubstituted for tha latter. Ab-
tott ls really an All-Western man. Is as
clearly tha class of the valley at guard
rh,mS.,litn la at end. wbile Shlalda
. .. . . w .
I lays the steady, consistent, bard-fighting
game which always wins at a guard posi
tion. Bprong of Drake is the cream at center,
f-prong can withstand the attacks of the
most powerful line plunger and never give
ar Inch. Playing on a poor team and
with abaolutely no assistance from bis
guard men. Sprong made the center of
the Drake line a veritable stone wall and
bo must be given the position over Kee
ling of Kansas, his nearest rival.
SCOUTS ARGUE OVER THE
MERITS OF THEIR FINDS

'Girls in Athletics
fn.n.r the direction of Miss Edna Man-
tor, co-eds of the University of Omaha
plan to take an Important part in mo
athletic activity of the school this winter.
Miss Mantor has mapped out a f.eld
of entertainment that calls for basket
ball, volley ball. Indoor tennis and the
like. The scheme Is to Include every
young woman of the school In the activ
ities Mini Mantor does not believe in
competitive athletics for according to her
views It benerits only a sniau numuer ui
the students. Dlacuaalng exercise for
young women Miss Mantor said.
"Ulrls seldom realise the need for ex
ercise. This Is more so of the college
women. Instead of securing thiee or
four hours of good healthful exercise
they have a tendency to remain Indoors
ss much as possible. The reason why
so many girls break down In college
life ls because of their lack of exercise.''
Miss Mantor has definite Ideas of what
a co-ed should eat. In a recent lecture
she spoke against the eating of candy
and other harmful confections.
"The girl who eats such things Is aa
Intemperate as ths person who smokes
snd drinks for after all the result 1
the same," said Miss Mantor.
The athleUo instructor expects to have
her basketball teams organised the latter
part of this week. A Interlclass tourna
ment will be staged. If possible games
will also be arranged with tne Peru nor
mal and Tarklo college co-eds.
Mlas Mantor has had much experience
In tula line of aork. She waa connected
with the University of Nebraaka and
previous to that t me was at the Ran
