They are the men who last. And even so, they must know how to save themselves, how to forget foot ball, or at least not worry about it, in off seasons, how to look fate in the face without nerve tremors or quickening of the pulse Foot ball probably killed ‘Jumbo | ~ Stiehm of Indiana.

If the leading foot ball institutions of the East were to enter into some such agreement as binds the teams of the Big Ten or the Southern Confer- ence or the Pacific Coast Conference, a much more wholesome condition than now prevails in this section would be effected. There would be an ever- closer drawing together in the teams invelved and the influence would be dig into the ground in front of the ball—that. and the action of reaching | out after the ball. The whole weight | of the body should be slapped against | !the ball, through quick -hip action, when the clubhead thus hits. You “sit. right down on the ball,”” as one pro recently expressed it. Out West the salutary effects of ‘Western Conference idealism upon colleges not included in this organ- ization are signal, and as years have gone on more and more institutions have either entered bodies built upon lines similar to that of the Big Ten or else have taken over the stipula tions that obtaln therein. Notre Dame some seasons iKD‘ adopted the Western Conference rules and in ever-increasing degree the South Bend institution 1s entering into, relationships with conference colleges.’ And it certainly seems as though the time will come when the Christian | Brothers will he included in this body | if they so desire. | Ever more complex and arduous: grows the schemei and practice of in-| tercollegiate sport. The latest development appears at Marquette where Frank Murray, the foot ball coach. has ordered members of the basket ball squad to report to Lake Beulah, Wik., the preliminary season training camp of the Golden foot ballers, with the candidates for the eleven Murray has no idea of co-ordinating basket ball. and foot ball. Both squads will be kept intact and Murray, who is also basket ball coach at the Milwaukee University both Marquette has a very heavy basket ball schedule next Winter, including games with such strong conference quintets as Wisconsin, Minnesots. and Towa, and Murray thinks that by taking his basketers through an in- tensive preliminary workout the men will be ready when the time comes to step into action.
