NEWS AND GOSSIP OF I
THE WORLD OF SPORTS i
PERDUE MAY LOSE PLACE
IN WESTERN CONFERENCE
By II. C. CAMILTON
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. The recent
request of University of Michigan
athletic officials for a place on the
football schedule of Chicago univer
sity doubtless will have a wonderful
stimulating effect on western foot
ball. It will be haid for Chicago to decide
to drop one of the teams she is now
meeting in annual games, but the
natural rivalry that exists between
the Chicago eleven and the Maize and
Blue will overcome any objections that
may arise.
In the southern section of the West
ern conference, Illinois and North
western are now the favored schools
for games with Chicago. They have
been fixtures for years. Illinois, rep
resenting the state wherein Chicago's
big college i3 located, is the most
natural rival Chicago could find. The
Banie may be said cf Northwestern,
for Northwestern is located just out
side Chicago and is large enough und
important neough to furnish plenty of
opposition for the bigger school.
Minnesota and Wisconsin have sent
teams to Chicago for years, and their
coming always has been considered
among the important events of the
year in Chicago athletics. To drop
one or the other of these would mean
the loss of a big game, but the addi
tion of Michigan in place of one of
them, not only would give Chicago a
bigger contest, but would resurrect the
ancient feud that existed between
Minnesota and Michigan football
elevens. That would be to the bene
fit of the conference in general.
Chicago's best chance appears to be
in lopping off Purdue, which now has
an annual place on the schedule. Pur
due hasn't amounted to much as a
football team in the big nine for sev
eral years, and her appearance on
Stagg field means little to Chicago
football followers. There are certain
teams in the Western Conference
which are situated so as to be better
rivals of Purdue than Chicago. Only
the importance of Chicago has made
the Purdue games profitable. A
switch here probably would be of
benefit to Purdue.
However, both Wisconsin and Min
nesota are large enough pnd are suf
ficiently dignified to allow the Chi
cago game to slip from the schedule.
With a view to strengthening the
western schedule in all parts it might
be that this would be the step taken.

SWEDISH LEGATION
IN WAR. TIMES
(United Press.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. Sweden's
Washington business is manifold and
many times troublesome. W. A. F.
Ekengren, the Swedish minister, su
pervises two institutions; the Swedish
legation, and the Swedish office where
the remnants of Austria-Hungary's
business is transacted.
Quiet Austrian clerks, three of them,
keep books behind drawn blinds in the
offices assigned to Austrian affnirs;
a modest red brick building on Eigh
teenth street, directly across the street
frftm Secretary Lansing"s home.
Swedish affairs are directed from
an apartment house legation some
blocks away, at 1820 N street.
In addition to these offices, the
Swedish government maintains an
economic delegation in Washington at
1325 Eighteenth street, where Axel
Robert Nordvall and Dr. H. Lundbohn
have thc-ir headquarters. They are in
America to secure foodstuffs for
Sweden and have assured the Amer
ican government that no foods ob
tained here will be used for (iermnn
export trade or to release other
products for German use.
