intermittent clouds of smoke came

been a factor in preparing the way

mer Governor Smith told one

MADISON, Wis. Aug- 4. (/P)—The
elimination of spring football and
out of season basketball practise
has been proposed to the big ten
by the University of Wisconsin
athletic council.
Such a move, Badger athletic
officials believe, not only would
permit athletes to gain higher scho
lastic standings, but would materi
ally diminish the so-called over
emphasis on college athletics. The
proposal is expected to meet with
little opposition, except possibly, in
the case of several big ten members.
