No announcement was made as to what procedure would be followed in returning to the conference. Inas- much as all of the conference colleges are on record as favoring Michigan’s return, it is believed that the con- ference authorities will act favorably upon the matter at their next meet- ing. Michigan has cancelled all of fits spring athletic contests, and it is un- derstood that no football games will ‘be played next fall if the TUnited States is at war. Sentiment among the students, however, is strongly in favor of athletic contests, and it is understood that the college author- itles have been urged to rescind the ‘cancellation order. 5 Michigan severed relations with the western conference in 1905.

State College, Penn., April 28— Penn State has decided to continue all sports unless they conflict with fur- ther plans of the war department. R. H. Smith, graduate manager, has an- nounced that no schedules would be abandoned at present. ‘With all students drilling six hours & week under regular army officers, the State College athletic authorities see no reason for immediate cancella- tion of outdoor activities. Schedules will be abandoned, however, if the students are called upon to dévote ad- ditional hours to the study of mili- tary tactics. Penn State’s position is similar to that of West Point and the land-grant colleges in regard to ath- letics. The college schedule provides for drill hours in addition to the time given to athetics and studies. A separate battalion has heen or- ganized for the athletes, who were formerly excused from obligatory other students. Since the college was found- ed, more than fifty years ago, all State college students have been under arms. The college athletes are now learning the fundamentals . in an hour’s drill every evening. Already intense enthusiasm has been aroused by attempting to surpass the perform- ances of the twelve other companies of the college regiment, some of which have been active for two years.

Lizsio and Shea put forth a four reel comedy in which neither participant attempted near Broad | to do the other any harm. Shea, as M4 | far as could be ascertained did mot accept a nickel for his efforts. Last night’s scheduled series of bouts proved to be one of the biggest and juiciest lemons ever upon the local fans.

Doc Hull, | matchmaker of the club, left the Arena when he became satisfied that the fans were not turning out in as big numbers as he expected, S0 the ring of promoters, some of whom were lacking In experience, staged the bouts as best they could. There were frequent delays between the first and second bouts as the fighters would not go on until they were assured of their financial reward.
