The twenty-seven minors came together with the question of the draft at the head of the program and when they went home it was in the same relative position. Committees from the class AA leagues, opponents of the unrestricted draft and the A leagues, one non-draft and three more or less in favor of it, will meet at West Baden, Jan. 10.

EVADED QUESTION. The draft question will now move to New York and Chicago. It may be discussed at the National League meeting at New York and the American League conclave at Chicago Tuesday. The Toronto convention seemed to shy from the question although an elaborate series of recommendations for revision had been made by the major-minor advisory council. The National association convention gave opportunity for trades of players and many "deals" were made.

Thirteen of the sixteen major league managers attended the meeting and some business was done although the only important announcement was the transfer of first baseman Dale Alexander and pitcher John Prudhomme from Toronto to Detroit. Other rumored deals involving Cincinnati and New York in the National and New York; Washington and Boston in the American, positive or negative, were expected next week. LESS TRADING. The minors did some trading among themselves and with the majors although the volume was said to have been smaller than in other years. Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast League and Birmingham of the Southern association had the most fruitful sessions, getting half a dozen players each.

Many of the clubs in leagues of the lower classifications were not so fortunate. One club president from a class league said that when he came to Canada, he left a number of notes in banks back home. "I expected to sell some players to pav these notes." he said, but added, "I 'have not been able to sell a single "I don't know what the banks are going to say to me when I get home. Central Loses In Low Scoring Bee Cisco Holder of 6 to 5 Victory. In a game preliminary to the Decatur-Hammond contest, Ernie Calbert's Central Juniors were given a 6 to 5 trimming by the Cisco high five.

Neither team was able to make its shots count. Central missed several close shots in the last minutes of play. Although the score indicates the looseness of an early season game, it was an exciting battle to watch. Tarr, who made four of his team's five points, drove in nicely on follow in shots and his height was an added advantage to Central's play. Cisco's scoring was divided between Mintun, Whisnant and Miller.

Cisco led 5 to 2 at half time. The score: Scnre by Quarters: J( 10 18 23 Referee--Walsh (Notre Dame).

Dec. 8 Lambert, Purdue's baseball coach, doesn't care to risk the arm of the only good pitcher he has against Michigan's heavy sluggers. Michigan offered Purdue a baseball pame in 1929 at the conference in session here, but Lambert refused, explaining he had but one pitcher and couldn't afford to "load up."

After a turbulent debate, during which protests were made against! the Army which does not have such a rule, the faculty advisory committee of the conference Friday night decided to enforce the rule with thai one exception. The action saved the Army front embarrassment as it was over tha three-year rule that it broke its athletic relations with the Navy. While the Navy has a rule identical witis that of the Big Ten, it was include! in the exception.

Two Army sports officials. Lieut. Colonel Roger Alexander of West Point and Col. W. C.

Sweeney of Third Infantry, Fort Snelling, argued the case of the Army before the faculty committee, and were delighted with the decision, whicit, means the Army can carry put its; scheduled football game with the University of Illinois next year. NOTRE DAME O'K. The faculty committee, however- agreed to enforce unequivocally rule against colleges and although it is satisfied that Dame, which also was protested anclj which has games scheduled with three Big Ten football teams nexC. fall, lives up to the rule. The rulat states that no player is eligible to compete in Big Ten athletics or- against Big Ten teams who played more than three years of lege athletics.

The faculty action was the onty. highlight of the first day's meeting of Big Ten athletic heads, most oi the time being spent in arranging! schedules for minor sports. Today, finishing touches were to ba applied to football schedules, although but a few open dates wero left. Colgate now has two Big Ten football games scheduled for 1929-against Wisconsin at Madison, Oct. 5 and at Indiana, Oct.

19. Schedules in wrestling, hockey, tennis and golr also were to be finished today. MORE WORK LEFT. The eligibility status of two football stars. Mayes McLain of Iowa and Allan Holman of Ohio State, also was expected to be decided by the eligibility committee.

Dates for sports events and non- conference relays carnival eventa have been announced as Drake relays, Apr. 26-27; Ohio relays, May Illinois indoor track. Mar. 16; Texas relays, Mar. 29-30; Big Ten outdoor track championship.

Northwestern, May 24-25; indoor track championship, Iowa, Mar. 8-9; and championship cross country, Ohio State, Nov. 23. Minnesota was given the golf championship tournament for May 28-29, and Chicago was awarded the indoor swimming championship event for Mar. 15-16.

Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite of Wisconsin was elected president of the coaches committee, succeeding Jimrnle Phelan of Purdue. KERR COMPLETED ROSTER OF EASTERN ELEVEN San Francisco, Dec.

LINCOLN COLLEGE TO DISCONTINUE PLAYING FOOTBALL Lincoln, Dec. 8--Announcement was made Friday that football will be abandoned as a sport at Lincoln college next year. The decision was reached at a recent meeting of the college board of managers. Athletic Director W.

T. Woleben and N. H. Anderson, faculty manager, who were in Chicago to attend a meeting of Little Nineteen conference coaches, were instructed to cancel all grid contracts. Football has been a losing proposition at the Railsplitter school since the sport was revived back in 1919 after the World war.

The decision was reached soon after the close of the 1928 season, when the Purple and White eleven failed to win a single conference game. The decision is not expected to hurt the enrollment, which has grown in the last nine years, and an intramural schedule probably will be inaugurated with more stress placed on basketball, track and baseball. Whether Coach W. T. Woleben will remain at the local institution is in doubt, as he has under consideration a contract from a southern school.

Woleben has placed Lincoln college on the athletic map during his regime. SIGNLOUGHRAN TO BOX PETERSON Chicago. Dec. 8-- (A.P.)--Tommy Loughran, world's light heavyweight champion, has been signed by promoter Mique Malloy to meet "Big Boy" Peterson, Biloxl, heavyweight in a 10 round bout at the Chicago Coliseum, Dee. 17.
