Tlinols, Minnesota and Purdue opened new arenas this year. Indl- ana, Chicago and Northwestern will have new giant play yards next year. Thus 1925 wil! see every member of the conference fitted out with amphi- theaters of vast accommodation. This will increase a feeling, al- ready evident, that financial reasons alone demand that majority of games should be played at home. Whether the fact has been over- looked or not, it is’ nonetheless true that in an effort to get home con- tests big ten rivalries are being neg- lected. Minnesota, ‘for example, plays the first seven of her eight 1925 foot- ball games at home in the new stad- {um at Minneapolis, but on'y two of the three home games are with con- ference outfits. Chicago plays five of her games at home and the eixth is with neigh- boring Northwestern. The seventh is downstate at Urbana and the eighth is with Pennslvania at Franklin field. Only three of Chicago’s games are with conference elevens. In or- der to get home contests, conference rivalries are being neglected. Of teams outside the conference, Notre Dame has two big ten games; Wa- bash three; Butler two; South Da- kota two and Pennsylvania two. Other outside teams that are hooked up with conference outfits are Grin- nell, Nebraska, Carleton, DePauw, Towa State, Wooster, Ohio Wesleyan, Michigan Aggies, North Dakota, Arkansas, Tulane, Southern Califor- nia, the Navy and Columbia. Obvious’y the big ten is going to increase its membership or else it is going to cease to be a schedule mak- ing unit aud become only a regula- tory body. In this latter field, the conference organization has -been eminently fuccessful in theory and, to a large degree, in’ practice. At the recent conference meeting, Nebraska and Michigan Aggies ap- plied for admission and within three years a dozen other middle western colleges will be in postifon to claim similar recognition.

First. stop will be Memphis where the team will attend Sunday morn- ing church services, “Doc.” Connell, crack half back, did not accompany the squad, which arrived here from South Bend at noon. Connell sprained an ankle dur- ing the final ‘workout yesterday. With the exception of Captain Adam Walsh, whose injured right foot probably will keep him out of the game, the entire squad appeared in excellent condition for the pest-sea- son title with Stanford. A throng of several hundred Irish admirers saw the team off.

JAGK RENAULT 5 BIE LOSER Romero-Rojas’ Flop Is Costly in Future Activities. By FAIR PLAY. (Copyr'ght, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Dec, 20.—It is figur- ed that Jack Renault lost at least a hundred thousand dollars because of the snag he ran agalust in Boston, Romero- Rojas. For had he not com‘ this cropper, as the horsemen say, he would have been in line for two or three big money houts. Leo Flynn, Renault's manager, is the shrewdest handler of fighters in the business and how he came to steer his man against the rugged Chilean, or rather how he came to hold the Chilean light, is a problem no one seems able to answer. Leo, of course. is fillng the air with alibis, but when he is ap- proached with offers of a return bout with the Chilean in New York, he shows no eagerness to clinch the date. The fact is that Romero is beginning to overcome the one great One expert says that Romero al ways used to hold his mouth open when coming in and that this was what made him vulnerable. Now he bores in with gritted teeth and the shocks are not telegraphed to the brain with so much vigo.
