At present this is impossible. When Minnesota joins us one bar will have been lowered; one of our old time rivals will be ready to meet us under sane rulings and reasonable condi- tions. The boycott against Michigan will have been broken. We hope that Minnesota will .take the step. We be- lieve that she is ready to. We trust that it will be the opening step in a movement that will bring about con- ditions under wlich clean, honorable sportsmanship may flourish in the west with each team of reputation ready to meet' the other unhampered by prej- udice or jealousy.

A communication to which we give publicity in our news columns, is of es- pecial interest in that it shows how much may be read into and added onto an editorial such as we published Tuesday morning. We dislike to find it necessary to again state our position but to lend the emphasis of repetition may not be amiss. The article in the Philadelphia En- quirer did not resurrect buried issues. It took a starting instance to point what it baldly stated to be present con- ditions. The Schultz incident is an example not an issue. It is the kind of football our opponents are playing and expect to play that interests us, not what happened to Schultz in 1908. When gossip that has continued for years assumes so bald a statement as that of the quotation in question we feel that it is an occasion for a school to state its position and deny any such attitude. This we trust Pennsylvania will do. We accused Pennsylvania of nothing. Having quoted and commented on a statement, insulting in its flagrancy, in which we expressed no belief, we took the occasion to preach a sermon with this as a text. "Even though this statement is without basis" we remarked and passed on to generali- ties. We chose to emphasize our opin- ion of the importance of cleanliness in our opponents as well as in our- selves. We have felt that in selecting oir contests we think too much of the gate receipts and the spectacle and not . enough of the underlying spirit. It was this general question in regard to all athletic contests at every time that we desired to call attention. Our attitude toward the Conference is not involved, whatever Mr. David's suspicions of our machinations in this regard may be. As to the cleanliness of our editorial policy we expect to answer to the student body as a whole and would be happy to answer to our When'7 Portraits 319 E.

It is with the liveliest pleasure that we learn that our friends the Gophers are planning to again do us the honor of meeting us in the field of intercolle- giate sport. They have found, what Michigan discovered several years ago, that the Western Conference, as at present organized and conducted, is intolerable. They show every indi- cation of an unwavering determination to resume athletic relations that 'prov- ed highly desirable from both a Min- nesota and a Michigan standpoint. Happy we will be to met the Gophers" on the gridiron, on the diamond, and on the track. When the Gopher meets the Wolverine a contest results that is worth while, and satisfying from ev- ery point of view. Healthy athletic development, for a strong school with strong teams and a spirit of independence, seems truly impossible under such rules and regu- lations as are now in force in the "Big Eight."
