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.

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. t -OF- S CHA E BER'LE & soN'sI Ad.y. none Z,. u. t. major &Co.- STUDENTS LUNCH , 409 E.

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. GYMNASIUM EQUIPMENT t E t I { IIc GLO. J. M0E SPORT SHOP 711 N.

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 NOT ENTERED IN BIG TEN SWIM Michigan and Ohio State are ,the only two universities in the Confer- ence that have not yet recognized 'swimming as a Varsity sport, and en- tered teams in the Big Ten meet.
