Big Nine Sets Precedent by
Approving Summer Baseball
What may be described as an
audacious step was taken by "Big
Nine" officials in approving summer
baseball.
The question of whether col
legians should be eligible for inter
collegiate competition after playing
semi-pro ball during vacation is one
of the most momentous ones grow
ing out of the recent wholesale ex
posure of professionalism in college
athletics.
Removal of restrictions governing
vacation periods so as to permit
college undergraduates to play sum
mer ball for money has been dis
cussed in the Big Ten, Missouri Val
ley and in eastern circles but none
has acted. '
Colleges now are faced with the
problem of enforcing or repealing
this rule.
To enforce it will work a hardship
upon students who are able to earn
big money playing semi-pro ball
which in; some cases helps to put
them through college.
In lowering the bars on summer
baseball, the Big Nine may have set
a precedent for other conferences. -
The only limitation put on ath
letes is that they must not play in
organized baseball, the objection
being is that students; are subject to
its call while in. school. ' "
The Big Nine also departed from
regular channels when it..voted in
favor of opening varsity competition
to freshmen. Only migration from
one school to another wtil preyent a
freshman from 'takingT)art in. ath
letics. However, Creighton -is not a. be
liever in freshman . competition "and
will not allow first- yea wen on its
varsity squad, Mac Baldrige, Creigh
ton coach, announces.

Boston, Feb. 22. Side by side in
the smoking compartment of the
Boston Express this morning sat
two interesting travelers.
0"e, tall, slender,, immaculate,
vit!: derby hat slanted over his
head, and a long cigar in his mouth,
was easily identified as Jack Kearns,
manager of Jack '- Dempsey, the
heavyweight champion of the world.
The other, heavy set, solid looking,
with gray mustache, was Paddy
Mullins, manager of Harry Wills, the
"brown panther of New Orleans,"
who figures as one ' of the leading
contenders for Dcmpsey's title, -i
From midnight until 4 o'clock in
the morning they sat there, talking,
talking. ' They are old friends, and
old hands in the boxing game, and
both have covered a wide range' of
territory.
...Carefully,, adroitly, they both
avoided the subject that must have
been uppermost in their minds. They
were not sparring. One was merely
waiting on- the other.
Finally, ' along ' toward 4 o'clock,
Kearns remarked quite casually:

Mullins turned his hea-d slowly,
and nodded.
There was a long silence.
"If he can't stop Norfolk, it looks
as if I'd have to quit trying," said
Mullins finally. "But I think he'll
get by Norfolk all right."
That, was about all that was said
on that particular subject. Yet it
indicates that so far as the managers
of the two fighters are concerned
they will have no trouble getting
together on a match if the time he
