Convinced that the immorality, triviality,and frivolity which symbolized football were subverting thevery purpose for the existence of the university, Chicago boldlyfaced the issue and resolved the paradox.To many the abolition of football came as a thunderbolt.Chicago had founded the Western conference; it had fatheredthe most celebrated athletic coach in America, and some of themost accomplished teams and performers in the annals of sportwore the Maroon spangles of the “C.” But it was evident then,as it is so clearly today, that a University cannot exist with adual and conflicting purpose; that its facilities and its finances, itsefforts and its philosophy must be geared to one all-pervadingthought: A University is a citadel of learning and should be de¬voted solely to exemplifying the highest powers and aspirationsof mankind.Today the University faces a similar conflict in purpose. TheUniversity’s athletic fortunes are at an all-time low. Since 1924—even before the era of Robert M. Hutchins—Chicago has wal¬lowed in the trough of athletic misfortunes and disrepute. Ourathletiq relations in the Western Conference are chaotic, a tragicmuddled picture of cynicism and dejection. One of the world’sgreatest centers of learning has become the subject of thinlyveiled derision and contempt. Chicago’s basketball team, per¬haps the best Maroon squad in five years, is labelled in thesports pages as “hopeless, helpless, and hapless.’’ In the mean¬time it maintains a losing streak whfch has extended throughfive full seasons of play, the longest consecutive series of defeatsin the archives of the Big Ten.It is maintained by many that the ill fortune is but tempo¬rary and that Chicago will regain its long-lost athletic eminence.But the intercollegiate scene as we know it today—a sordid andhypocritical industry riddled with perjurers and charlatans—precludes all possibility for an honest and principled athleticprogram. Intercollegiate athletics long ago abandoned the pre¬mises that the inter-university competition is helpful and health¬ful to young men engaged in athletic pursuits, and that the par¬ticipants should be bona fide students, recipients of scholarshipsfor academic excellence only. The ethics of sport collapsed likea house of playing cards at the end of the last war.

Yar-nelle, Director of Activities, saidthat “Any recognized student groupwishing to participate in an order¬ly and legal off-campus functionmay represent itself as an officialstudent organization of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, exhibiting onsuch banners and placards as itsmembers may wish to display, thename of the particular organiza¬tion.” NIt is essential, however, he ad¬ded that any implication that theviews or actions of this group re¬flect the attitude of the University,or of its student body as a whole,be studiously avoided.”The decision, ‘hailed by campuspolitical leaders, reverses previousUhiversity policy which had dis¬couraged off campus participationby entire organizations.Strike Committee DisbandsMeanwhile the U. of C. strikecommittee, including members offive campus political clubs—LaborRights Society, AYD, Socialist(Continued on Page 3)Want Pair of Nylons?Line Forms at BlakeChances are being sold ona pair of nylons, size 9*^,which will be given awaynext Wednesday at four atBlake House.

While'indignantly protesting theirpurity and innocence, universities retained the services of highpowered coaching staffs who were paid more than Nobel-prizewinning physicists; academic standards were sabotaged as de¬grees were awarded for exemplary performance on the grid turfand the basketball court. From the steel mills and the coalmines and the boiler factories players swarmed onto every cam¬pus, not disdained for their academic failure, but extolled andesteemed for their athletic prowess. Universities rose and fellwith winning and losing teams, and the purpose of a universitywas buried deep in the black mire of trickery and double-deal¬ing politics. It was and is an incredible era, a crushing anddamning indictment of American universities.And thot is why Chicago can never win agoin; Chompion-ships can be purchased only by practicing the deceits whichhove succeeded elsewhere, by becoming o subscriber tothe same bare-faced double dealing. The athletic staff ofthis university has made a courageous effort to Inject honestyand decency into athletics. Its record is eloquent testimonythat such a policy is an impossibility if othletic rewards oreto be attained in the Big Ten. To hope that other universitieswill reform is to seek the proverbial pot o' gold at the endof the rainbow. There have been occasional attempts toturn college sports into an honest game, but like the chronicdrunk to which it has been likened, intercollegiate athleticshas its moments of remorse, and then launches on bigger andwilder benders.The conclusion is therefore inescapable. Chicago is doomedto inevitable defeat so long as it competes against insurmount¬able odds., Chicago must, therefore, sever its relations with theBig Ten. Whatever benefits may be derived, either by player orspectator, from inter-collegiate athletics, are choked off by theinevitability of consistent defeat.Just as the University has heralded a new era in classroomeducation so must there be a reformation ^in University ath¬letics. Recreation need not compete with formal education:sports has a rightful place on these quadrangles. Chicago doesnot now, and never has, opposed athletics as such, but has beena relentless foe of the vicious malpractices which enmesh BigTen athletics. The University’s athletic staff, manned as it isby skilled and sincere men, should formulate a program whichdoes not compel scholar-athletes to compete against profes¬sionals. In the face of such competition, Chicago teams, are asthe newspapers aver, hopeless and helpless. But Hiroshima was“hopeless and helpless” against the atomic bomb.In the future, varsity schedules should include only thoseschools whose teams are “in the same* league” as ours, not uni¬versities which exist as mere adjuncts to stadia and fieldhouses.Only then can we look forward to achieving the rewards sooften attributed to athletics, but so seldom realized in inter¬collegiate competition. Under such a program, varsity footballmight well be revived, provided campus interests were to war¬rant such action. And at the same time, an even greater empha¬sis should be placed on intra-mural competition, where the ben¬efits can be enjoyed by everyone, not merely the brawniest andbest coordinated.Chicago’s athletic laurels, achieved in an era of decency andhonesty, are secure forever. To continue as we have in the pastdecade is only to tarnish that record. There are new honors tobe won; lei us not hesitate to seek them. A. KRASH. 'This Is Our Purpose .. /Anti-BigotryQroup ClaimsProbes VitalThe Anti-Discrimination Com¬mittee, an undergraduate organiza¬tion, investigated alleged discrim¬inatory practices at the Universityyesterday and released a statementto the editor of THE CHICAGOMAROON replying to charges lev¬ied by its former advisor, Prof.Wilton H. Krogman.The statement follows:To the Editor of the Chicago Ma¬roon;Last week’s MAROON an¬nounced to the campus the” resig¬nation of Prof. Wilton M. Krogmanas faculty sponsor of the Anti-Discrimination Committee. At thattime, Dr. Krogman stated that thereason for his withdrawal is his“fundamental disagreement . . ”with our “action program.” In lightof this statement, the committeewishes to make clear to the campusand to the administration, its na¬ture, its purpose, and its program.The dangerous implication whichmight be incorrectly drawn fromDr. Krogman’s statement is thatthe Anti-Discrimination Commit¬tee is a group of impetuous indi¬viduals who engage in militant, ir¬rational attacks on the university.The committee was not formed forthat purpose, nor has is given anyindication to the campus or the ad¬ministration that such is its char¬acter.Public Should Be InformedWe believe that it is a part ofthe educational process of whichDr. Krogman speaks, that the pub¬lic should be informed of suchfacts as the committee reveals. Theacceptance by the public of a uni¬versity as necessarily being asource and expression of liberalitycan and often has proved of greatharm to the forces of progress. Itis of the utmost importance that allinstitutions of higher learning beas free as posible from the hypo¬critical contradictions which con¬found us everywhere in our societyas between our professed demo¬cratic values and our undemocraticpractices. Many laymen incorrect¬ly assume that a recognized leaderin liberal thought is necessarilyguided by liberal considerations inadministrating its own house. Inthe past few years many discrim¬inatory practices have been abol¬ished or ameliorated at the Univer¬sity. of Chicago, not only becausethe public had become less preju¬diced through education but be¬cause facts were put at the disposalof University officials in light ofwhich it could pursue more effec¬tively its enlightened social poli¬cies.Cleanup Medical SchoolThe members feel that a preced¬ent has to be set for an active, lib¬eral policy in the medical schooland in the University hospitals Inthe past it has been demonstratedthat only organized, intelligentgroup activity brings such resultsabout. At this time the medical de¬partment of our school is not evenbeing a “follower of publicopinion” which we believe to beenlightened enough for the suc¬cessful execution of liberal medicalpractices in schools and hospitals.The committee realizes that itcannot force the administration orfaculty to act upon the contradic¬tions which at present exist be¬tween its liberal policy and itsovert actions. It does, however,propose to direct attention to suchcontradictions and to convey to theadministration the concern of asubstantial portion of the studentbody which believes that a centerof liberal learning should, indeed,execute and practice a policy oftolerance and liberality in its re¬lations with minorities.Eva EmanuelChairman, Anti-DiscriminationCommittee. • Quadrangle Opinion'What Should Be Role ofUniyersity MusicTO THE EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO MAROON:In his review of February 15 your music critic, William WambanoKadvocates that the University of Chicago discharge Hans Lange as con ’ductor of the University Orchestra and engage Desire Defauw in hisplace. Even though Mr. Wambaugh’s recommendation is weakened bvhis tendency, which I have observed on other occasions, to elevate thedefects of small particulars to the status of sweepingly derogatory uni-versals, I have no question of his right to an opinion. Indeed, niy ownconviction that Mr. Wambaugh does not understand much that is im¬portant about music is equally a matter of opinion, and in my turn \should not like to be a.sked to relinquish that opinion.On the other hand, Mr. Wambaugh’s implication that the Univer¬sity employs Mr. Lange in preference to Mr. Defauw, or in protestagainst Mr. Defauw’s leadership of another orchestra with which theUniversity has no connection, is impractical, malicious and irrelevantand therefore cannot be allowed to remain unanswered. ’Mr. Wambaugh’s proposal is impractical in that he has ignored the factthat a student orchestra must be lehearsed extensively before it canappear in public. Mr. Defauw would not have time to undertake reg¬ular rehearsals of the student orchestra, even if he were interested-Mr. Lange has the time, and he has the interest. Moreover, he ispaid a salary for these services, whereas Mr. Defauw graciously’sc/ veswithout salary in his honorary capacity.Mr. Wambaugh’s implication is malicious, in that the as.sumptionof a “feud” between “Defauw supporters and Lange-ites” is an invita¬tion to mud-slinging rather than serious and impartial analysis It isirrelevant, because neither the University nor its Department of Musichas ever undertaken, or wanted to undertake, to advise the ChicagoSymphony Orchestra upon its proper concerns or to obtain prefer¬ment for either of its conductors at the expense of the other.CECIL M. SMITH,Chairman, The Department of Music,>i> * «A Critique of CriticismTO THE EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO MAROON:After reading a number of the musical reviews that have appearedin recent issues of the MAROON, many people must be wonderingwhat exactly the function of the critic is, in the general scheme of ourartistic life; there will be some who will see personal beliefs in histotal superfluity confiimed. A few words in criticism of a trend incriticism would, therefore, not be out of place.It has always been my conviction that the art critic offers a publicservice primarily to three classes of art lovers: (a) to those who sharepassively in an artistic experience—the assisting audience, (b) to thosewho seek guidance as regards future artistic experiences—the greatmajority of art lovers, and (c)—by no means the least important—tothe creators of an art work, who, in the case of music, include bothcomposers and performers. The first group obtains clarification of theexperience in which they have partaken (if such be needed); the sec¬ond is enabled to choose wisely and to interpret with a view of im¬proving their standards of appreciation; the last group receives an in¬centive to increase the artistic worth of their performance, not .so muchthrough destructive, often ill-chosen comments as through objective,constructive advice.With these considerations in mind. It Is hard to see how recent ar¬ticles of musical criticism in the MAROON have really rendered muchOf a public service. Any thoughtful person realizes that it does nottake much acumen to find fault; indeed it is one of the characteristicsof the adolescent mind to think in extremes—to appreciate violentlyor to dislike violently. Most intelligent persons usually outgrow thisall-or-none tendency, and they no longer criticize for the sake of criti¬cism; if the tendency persists in adulthood, it is usually a rather re¬liable symptom of seme personal adjustment problem. In any case, itdoes not belong in the columns of a publication representing a gieaUcenter of learning.If the general negative impression which such a type of critiei.'smmakes were the only objectionable feature, there would be little uccdfor these comments; unfortunately there is also a much more seriousresult in the field of amateur art.Through unfortunate associations (aided no doubt by mi.sguidcdcriticism) the word “amateur” has lost its original meaning of “ama-tor” or “lover” of an art or occupation; we oppose it now to “proles-sional,” which we make nearly synonymous with “of high standard.”I am sure that no thoughtful art lover will minimize the imporlanceof our “amateur” art; it is doubtful whether our artistic endeavorswould long keep from the point of utter sterility without it.To demand professional standards of mechanical interpretation(Continued on Page 5)What School Do You Go To?Just bacausa your namt is Adam Smith, you don't haveto think you'ro indisponsobit • • •Friday, February 22, 1940 THE CHICAGO MAROON Page 9Bits and Banter...By LIBERO T.

A capacitycrowd which blocked aisles andoverflowed the balcony shoutedenthusiastic approval as the bandjammed through such old favoritesas CHINA BOY, JAZZ ME BLUES,and MUSKRAT RAMBLE, ap¬plauded soloists Sterling Bose, BudJacobson, and Jack Teagarden, anddemanded again and again, “LetTeagarden sing!”The boys on the bandstand werelikewise in excellent spirits. Theaudience roared as emcee GeorgeHoefer and Teagarden, old cronies,traded stories of past sessions, andJack, with much show, oiled his trombone with hair tonic. Tea¬garden also performed his old trickof dismantling his trombone andI playing it with a drinking glassreplacing the bell at the end of theslide.t The Big Eight (actually the BigSeven; Jack’s brother, Charlie Tea¬garden, scheduled to appear onj trumpet, failed to make it) pro¬duced three hours of excellentDixieland jazz.

They cannotserve the muscles of fingers or lips and their university education tothe point of excellence in both. If we want mechanical perfection, weare at liberty to turn to a player piano, or to the studio camera; manypeople, however, prefer the artistic sincerity of the amateur, even withhis faults.By all means let us have criticism, then, particularly of the students’artistic endeavors; but let us have not the type of criticism that takessway and gives back nothing, but rather a criticism th^at takes away ifrequired, and gives back more than it took away.CARL J.

But there aremore drastic words to be said, and they must be said now; today. Letthe ex-GI’s forget their future as “Former Veterans.” In fact let themforget they were ever veterans. Let them forget anyt)ody owes themanything.Too many of these vets are living in the irretrievable past.

Odyssey of One G-lVETERANSA Veteran Takes a LongHard Look at the Club,Women System at UCI wrote the following article, not about veterans,as perhaps I should, but because as a veteran my¬self, 1 am vitally concerned with the problems ofstudents in a devious, various and quondam-demo¬cratic world. My apologies to Fraternity for not giv¬ing to it is well-deserved share of publicity; thiswriting applies to it in equal, if not more vigorous,strength.4> • •The Club, an emasculated form of sorority (if agirl-group can be emasculated even by a literaryscalpel) owes its existence to two fundamental prin¬ciples. The first is that Clubgirls are presumed bythemselves and by the world-at-large to be better,more good, and hence more desirable, than non¬club girls. Secondly, the Club is based upon thepsychology of the esoteric minority, on its carefulselectivity, on its smallness in relation to the largenon-club majority. That is, when everyone is infashion, then no one is in fashion. Both of theseprinciples function within a framework of a social(teaparty) world, and are based on the valueswhich that world embraces.I have harangued over chocolate sodas about thisclub system, lumping for discussion all UniversityClubs (which we might call Pi, so as to give uschocolate-harangue Pi). 1 have l^n told that someClubs are becoming more “liberal,*’ than they havebeen and will soon admit members—or do now—admit members who are not white gentiles. ThereIs a very prominent Clubgirl who has even declaredthat she joined so as to “do good” in making hergroup “democratic.”I submit that this cannot be done, simply becausethe moment the club loses its eliteness, it also losesIts function as a Club, and that this will not be al¬lowed to happen. Based as I have suggested, uponvalue-differentiation and minority exclusiveness, itwill lose its reason for existing at the moment inwhich it becomes democratic.We are then faced with a dilemma, admittingthat the Club cannot be democratic. We must either The Club, so I am told by Clubgirls, harms npone, and is really not the business of outsiders(called: None of your business). I am further cau¬tioned that the Club has as much right to exist asany other group of students who want to organizethemselves. Let’s consider this a moment: Doesn’tthe Club hurt any one? I think not especially ofthe girls who are specifically denied admission andwho are therefore banished from the Nirvana of thehaute monde, but of every other girl student who isaware of the Club existence and about which she isallowed to know nothing and who therefore feels acertain social insecurity. I think, too, of the stand¬ard which the Club creates—a false and artificialstandard of good-bad (else why would there beClubs organized, anyway?)—which standard every¬one in the environs of the Club must accept by vir¬tue of its presence there. I think, as well, of theharm this false standard has upon the Clubgiriherself, who is cradled in the security of a charm-world that does not really exist and who will bebitterly disappointed when she does not find it inher post-University life; or, if she does find it, willremain perpetually unaware of the “other,” the gen¬uine, citizenship in a democracy to which she mustbe responsible. And lastly, I thinlo of the educa¬tional process at our University, in which all stu¬dents should be permitted to participate to thelimit of their desire, interest, and as-yet potentialqualifications. Students should be allowed, shouldthey not, activity in campus groups even especiallybecause these activities have hitherto been unfa¬miliar to them?If our University is farsighted enough to realizethat exclusive groups do in fact exist in our extra¬campus society, and that therefore they should be¬come a part of each student’s disillusionment whilehe or she is still in school, then this is worthy ofdiscussion on a higher level. Hearing no word tothe contrary, however, students should not be de¬nied entrance to any group in which they desireparticipation so long as that group functions as partof the University program.Each student has a responsibility to himself to un¬derstand his activity in relation to other—even op¬posite—activities; each Unive^^sity group has a simi¬lar responsibility to itself and its members. And allmust answer to a democratic and dynamic world.• • «(EDITOR’S NOTE: MAROON columnists are in¬dependent writers, given complete freedom, andthey do not necessarily reflect the editorial opin¬ions of the newspaper.)New AVC Head Will BeNamed Next WednesdayThe first annual elections of its officers and the ratificationof a new Constitution by its membership, will be the work ofthe American Veterans Committee campus chapter when itmeets again this Wednesday night.

Georgia, where “It took everyounce of our strength to pass thegrueling training period at DCS(Officer’s Candidate School)."The end of the four-month or¬deal found Undset eager for thefray, only to discover that V-J dayhad stabbed him in the back“They knew I was coming” Undsetsaid, sharpening his teeth on asteel file which he carried in hisvest pocket.Undset’s last months of servictwere spent at New Orleans Gen-eral Hospital, recovering fromsevere athlete’s foot, “similar totrench foot,” contracted whilipacing up and down his roommemorizing the names of VeteransOrganizations. Commenting onconditions in the South, Undsetsaid: “As an officer, I feel keenlymy responsibility to keep the racesseparated — for their own good.Fraternization is entirely un-American, although most Ameri¬cans don’t realize it.” Undset thenasked us to help polish his but¬tons.“War is hell” he told us, con¬cluding the interview. “We veter¬ans have got to stick together toprotect our rights” he added sig¬nificantly, and as we left he gaveus a terse “At ease,” as our backbegan to hurt from being made tostand at attention against the wall.Undset called to us down thestairs. “Perhaps you’d like to cometo my 19th birthday party?”—D.S.^^You rang for me?^'"I have been working for you for years."That telephone in your hand, I made.

HouseLead IM LeaguesBy NORMAN MACHTThe intramural basketball leagues moved into the last twoweeks of the 1946 campaign with a full schedule ahead. As aresult of Mead’s Tuesday night 23-13 win over Linn, the CollegeHouse circuit became a thrice-entangled battle for first place.The Divisional and Professional department has all but con¬ceded the crown to the Interna¬tional House aggregation,Dodd UndefeatedMead’s fifth victory against oneloss put them in second place be¬hind Dodd’s 5-0 record. Third-place Salisbury met Dodd late lastnight in the deciding game of theseason; a Dodd victory leaves Vin¬cent as the only hurdle to an un¬defeated year. On the other hand,a Salisbury triumph would createa tie among the three teams.The Frosh Medics and the Ma¬roons are the only reasonably closerivals to Int. House’s present po¬sition. Their second place, 2-1,records look meek, however,against the Inters’ four straightwins. With two games to go there is little room for speculation in thisleague.Rudolph Tops ScorersIn the individual scoring race ofthe College league, Bob Rudolphtook a commanding lead overCoulter’s Karler with ten points inTuesday’s battle. The Mead centernow has 56 in six games;-Meadcloses its season next Thursdayagainst Chamberlain.

Themat-men have a record of twowins against three losses, an*d twoof the defeats have been at thehands of the above teams. FineTimeShades of 1939! First it was aletter to the editor last week andnow it’s an editorial on the frontpage of the MAROON—both ad¬vocating that Chicago drop out ofthe Western Conference at leastin basketball.That something must be doneis raUier obvious. After tonight’sgame with Ohio State the Maroonswill have lost 60 consecutiveconference games. And Chicago’smiserable showing is not confinedto the last five years.In 1924 the Midway squad tiedfor the conference title; sincethen it has never finished betterthan sixth. Since 1931 the Ma¬roons have won only 12 Big Tengames and lost over 150. Chicagohas finished last in 13 of Its last14 seasons.Considering the record of thepast 21 years, there is little reasonto expect the situation to im¬prove. The school is not going tochange its policy concerning sub¬sidization of athletes, and no reallygood basketball player is ever at¬tracted to a school with a losingteam.When in 1939 Chicago droppedfootball, there was a good dealof agitation to replace the Ma¬roons with another school at leaston the gridiron. With the othermajor sport, basketball, off itscalendar, Chicago can lookforward to a strong movement toadmit some other university toBig Ten competition. And no otherschool would be too keen aboutplaying in the Big Ten if itcouldn’t compete ' in the minorsports as well.If the other nine colleges refuseto let Chicago remain in the Con¬ference if basketball is dropped,there would be nothing left forthe Maroons to do but to pack uptheir troubles and bid a graciousgood-bye to the strongest leaguein the nation—a league they firstproposed and long dominated.This would not mean the endof athletic teams at the U. of C.;it would mean rather the end oflosing teams.iOniB) UNDEI AUTHORiry OP THE COCA-COLA COAPANY lYCocq-Colo toftling Co. of Cbieo9o, ioe* Ohio State HereAs Varsity FiveMakes Last StandSTARTING LINEUPSChicago .

With no Haysoffice to intervene, Evil will un¬doubtedly triumph.Season Ends TonightCoach Nels Norgren and his var¬sity five are undoubtedly thankfulthat February 22 has finally ar¬rived. It means an end for atleast a few months of the monoto¬nous beatings Chicago has ab¬sorbed at the hands of Big Tenopponents.Whether it will also mean anend to the recent agitation here oncampus to get Chicago to drop outof the Western Conference in bas¬ketball isn’t so certain. As a re¬sult of 59 consecutive defeats inthe Big Ten, not including to¬night’s encounter, Chicago fansare pointing out the futility ofcompeting against such odds.Ohio Won Last 'TimeThe Maroons’ chances of break¬ing the string tonight appear veryslim on the basis of past i>erform-ances. The last time the two teamsmet Ohio was an easy 25-pointwinner. Moreover, the Buckeyeshave lost only two conferencegames while winning eight and arestill very much in the title racewith Iowa. Chicago on the otherhand has dropped all eleven of itsBig Ten games and ceased to be acontender for the championshipfive minutes after it started itsfirst game.Leading the Buckeye attack willbe 6-5 Jack Underman who hasqaite capably filled the shoes ofOhio’s star center Arnold Riesen,declared ineligible earlier in theseason. Chicago will again rely onFred DeGraw for most of its scor¬ing punch. Chicago HestIn 3-SchoolCinder MeetThe Field House will be thescene of a triangular track meetthis Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in whichMinnesota and Iowa as well asChicago will participate.Last Saturday the Gopher cin¬der-men proved themselves a verystrong team in a triangular meetin which they placed second toWisconsin and defeated North¬western by a wide margin; thesame day the Maroon track squaddropped a close dual run withIowa by a margin of 59-40.Since Northwestern has alreadydefeated the U. of C. this year,the prospects of a Chicago victoryare rather slim. However, Chi¬cago’s chances are not completelynil, for, as Coach Merriam* says,“It is possible that Minnesota andIowa will split their points in thesame events and perhaps help lis.”The mile event promises to bea real thriller, for Schimmels ofMinnesota ran it in 4:39 last weekand Adams of Chicago in 4:40.9.Chicago’s other* first could comeonly in the 880-yard sprint whereBokman is capable of turning ina winning 2:03 time. There willbe close competition betweenTharp of the Gophers and Farmerof the Hawkeyes in the broadjump with a possibility of therecord being broken.Big Ten Committee MeetsTo Promote SportsmanshipIn the first meeting of its kind in the history of sports in theUnited States, ten students representing the ten schools of theWestern Conference met v;rith Commissioner K.
