"They feel, perhaps rightly, that a great boom is in prospect for all sports, but they are willing to spend tiHi much money to -hat • In it." He particularly criticized the sudden elevation of leagues to higher classliicatlons. Since thatari of the mid winter meetings here, eight of the 31 leagues ex !'<•< ted to operate next year oilhe have elevated their status or have s gnlfled their intentions to do so. "The Pacific Coast wants to be a major league, the international league and American association ft Howe want to if ttfple-A, and I tie Southern association and Texas league wants to be double-V’ he said. "Everybody wants to move up " Hramham raid that he was I "afraid it Is over-enthusiasm." "Os course one of the factors is the increased draft price that the leagu>rt get for players in the higher class, hut tile ilevatloll iSnles with it the liability of higher s.i larieii." Hramham also vigorously opposed yesterday s passage of an i amendment which would prevent Comtnisaioner Chandler from exercising veto pow-r of legtelati n of MONEY Would a cash loan of $25 or more help you?

Athletic directors, faculty rep- | rexentativex and coaches of the j western conference entered the second day of their three-day exe< ufive sessions today Indicating I that the 10 conference schteds , will be just as strict with their athletes In the future ax they were during prewar years. Complete overhauling of the con-' ference eligibility codes, relaxed ! i during wartime, was scheduled for today but official announcement ; of the faculty representatives* action was not expected until tomorrow. The athletic directors voted yesterday. subject to the faculty men's approval, to recognize an official football champion each year. But they stressed it wax not a step toward permitting the winning team to participate in post-season contests. The conference last year turned down Ohio State by a 7 to 3 vote when the Buckeyes requested permission to play In the 1945 Rose Bowl At that time It was suggested that the Pacific Coast conference and the Big Ten tie tip in an an nau! post-season Hose Bowl arrangement. Following a suggestion made earlier this year by Fritz Crisler, Michigan athletic director and head football coach, the dir-ctors voted yesterday to annually recognize an official team champion in all sports which do not have allconference tournaments. Indoor and outdoor track, wrestling and awimming champions are determined through annual conference tournamenta while football, basketball and baseball fall into the non tournament classification. The winning team will be determined by percentage points, counting tie games as half a game won and half lost. Previously a tie game did not count In the percentage column. With faculty approval assured, the directors toted to start handing ont "official'' titlra next year. A "sportsmanship'* proposal by John Stocbnolh. university of lowa student and editor of the school paper, was accepted by the directora. Stlchnoth suggested a committee, made up of «m student

I from each conference school. Ih» oiganized to promote sportsmanship among the players, coaches amt students The student repr- sentntlve*. are to be selected hy the athletic direi’iorx of each school and they will , | meet to take action on a sports»manship award to be made iinnu- , ally In the memory of Maj.
