Established in 1907, when teams{ were glad to get their expenses paid to gumes,.the conference has seen the development of athletics to a point where success in a financial way has caused its virtual collapse. Six Is Withdraw Six of the most impertant mem- bers—Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa State and The Kansas Aggies—announced their withdrawal from the conference to form a new six-school association, leaving only Grinnell; Drake, Wash- ington, and the Okjahoma Aggies in he old conference.
