NORTHWESTERN SPORTS
REACH ACADEMIC CRISIS~
DEANS DECLARE MANY MEN IN-
ELIGIBLE EOR COM-
PETITION
Evanston, Jan. 24.-Studies, a dis-
liked bu't seemingly necessary adjunct
to modern college life, are likely to
ruin all of Northwestern's chances in
the Conference this year. At a meet-
ing of the deans of the various col-
leges today, 12 men were declared in-
eligible for the I. A. C. track meet
next Wednesday night, two men were
thrown out of competition in the
swimming meet with the Milwaukee
A. C. Satuhlay night, Jan. 24, and 18
of the 45 men out for Varsity basket-
ball were told to stay out of Patten
gym until they were restored to the
good graces of the facul.
o gCampus in Uproar
The Northwestern deans are merely
following the scholastic rules of the
school, and the lead of the other Con-
ference cdlleges, but the drastic ac-
tion has caused a great howl among
the followers of Purple athletics.
The athletes thus treated are blam-
ing the members of the faculty for
their low standing, as -they say that
they can learn and indulge in sport;
at the same time, as other Conference
athletes have succeeded in doing. Sev-
eral of the best in the school have al-
ready announced their intentions of
leaving the institution for one in
which they can learn and play at the
same time.

Star May Leave
Knight, the Bernard twins, rement-
bered as star ends on the Northwest-
ern grid eleven, Langenstein, and
Van Kirk, outstanding star of the
freshman team, are the men that in-
tend to leave school. Van Kirk has
announced his intention of attending
Washington and Jefferson.
In addition to this several of the
best baseball players in school are
gushing a plan whereby they will ner-
sonally finance an independent base-
ball team in the spring. This will
take away from the Northwestern
Varsity several more players of merit
who may be left after the faculty has
completed its task of culling the non-
workers from the workers.

Scoring System Changed
The suggested method of scoring
eliminates the use of "15-30," "love, "
"deuce" and similar terms which have
long been a part of the phraseology
of the game, and counts on a point
basis, 1, 2, 3, etc. If the server wins
the first pointy it is called "one-in.'
If the receiver wins the first point, it
is called "one-out." If the server has
won three points and the receiver one,
it is called "three-one" and so on
until either player has won four
points.
If one player has four points and
the other three points, the score is
called "three-four" or 'four-three,,
as the case may be, and the game is
scored for the player who first there-
after.gains a lead, of two points. In
the new system of handicaps, points
are allotted to the players, to be add-
ed to the points scored. At the end
of a set the allotted points are added
to those scored and the player with
the larger total wins the set, regard-
less of the games won or lost.
Amendments Change Voting
The constitutional amendments
change the voting system, by appor-
tioning votes to clubs on the basis of
their membership, instead of giving
one vote to each club, as at present.
Dues are determined in the same ra-
tio as votes, so that a club pays dues
and votes entirely on the basis of its
numerical strength. Clubs in which
tennis is fostered only in connection
with other sports, have their votes
limited, so that large athletic asso-
ciations or country clubs would not
be permitted votes out of proportion
to their tennis membership.
Charter Sectional Clubs
Sectional associations fwill here-
after be chartered by the national as-
sociation and will furnish the me-
dium through which clubs in their
territory bedome affiliated with the
national body. A club in the Western
or California sections, to which these
proposals will first apply,'will join its
city association, which is a member
of the sectional, the sectional in turn
being a member of the U. S. N. L. T..
A. Other sections which wish to pro-
ceed on this plan of organization may
apply to the annual meeting for a
charter.

4 IGHT NEW TABLES
IN BILLIARD ROOM
Ever since the eight new billiard
tables have been added to the 18
in use at the Union, the billiard room
has been the most popular and crowd-
ed place in the building. It was ex-
pected that the addition of eight tables
would take-care of all those wishing
to play, but to the surprise of many
the popularity of the room has in-
creased and many have to wait for.
tables. It is worth waiting for, to
play on the tables, as they are in ex-
cellent condition and are all live.
Al Taylor is. still on the job and
says that he will be glad to tell any-
one how to make a certain shot or
explain the points of the game, if
they will call him to the table where
they are playing.
The next match of the tournament
.will be played between Simons, at
130, and Harbert, at 150, at 4:30 o'clock
on Monday.
PRINCETON TIGERS MAY GO
- TO ENGLAND WITH ELI TEAMS
Princeton, "N. J., Jan. 24.-The Tig-
ers may go overseas with the Elis.
Yale has invited Princeton to accom-
pany her on the trip to meet Oxford
and Cambridge and the opinon is very
strong that the Tigers should accept
this invitation.
Since the advent of Coach Keene
Fitzpatrick the track team has made
marked improvement every year. This
year it is thought that the team could
give strong competition to the Eng-
lisp athletes.
The Yale track team is almost cer-
tain to go but there is considerable
doubt about the possibility 'of the
crew accompanying them because of
the, confliet between the English Hen-
ley and the Yale-Harvard race.
MICHIGAN AND OHIO STATE

At the present time there is a peti-
tion before the board in control of
athletics which, if sanctioned, will
give aquatics a place as a Varsity

mear future Michigan will have an op-
portunity to distinguish herself in
this branch of athletics.
