"Phog" Allen Says K. U. Belongs in the Valley Con-
Chicago, Feb. 13. — Formation of a new western collegiate athletic conference composed of the larger and more influential institutions outside of the Bip Ten has neared a practical certainty today.
Agitation toward formation of a new conference for several years has rapidly approached a head since the first organization in charge in the midwest. Organization of a conference, it has been claimed, would result in the drawing up of definite eligibility rules and would less suspicion of professionalism.
There has been a general feeling that in colleges not coming under conference ruling were making their own eligibility rules. This has not been the case as the colleges have lived up to the regulations of the Big Ten regulations nearly as well as the members of the Big Ten. If they do, then these colleges would get the credit of helping we would get the credit of helping we clean up athletics.
The proposed makeup of the new conference consists of colleges and universities which now claim many football and baseball games with each other, the conference were formed by the conferences in situations a standing in the field of sport.
Among the universities proposed are Michigan Aggries, Wabash Creighton, University of North Dakota, University of South Dakota, Detroit University, Notre Dame, New Orleans, St. Louis, St. Louis, and possibly Kansas.
Participation in the new conference was frowned upon by university officials.
These would make an exceptionally strong circuit. Most of the colleges are located in large cities insuring financial support. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, when you will consider the formation of a "Northwest Conference."

DR. BURDICK TALKED AT WASHBURN TODA'
Portrayed Lincoln as a Lawyer to Convocation of Students In Topeka
TRACED HIS EARLY LIFE
Told Many Anecdotes About the Great Emancipator and His Eccentricities
Lincoln as a lawyer was portrayed at a concession of Washburn students this morning by Dr. W. L. Burdick, vice-chancellor of the University and head of the School of Law Many of the facts presented were obeyed in the Burdick through personal examination of the Illinois court records.
"Lincoln's practice covered ever, subject known to law," said Doctor Burdick. "An examination of the reports of the Illinois supreme court shows that he was engaged in 175 cases and that he won 92. In the Federal Circuit Court the report shows, he appeared in ten cases, of which he won seven.
In the trial of cases, Lincoln made "in frequent use of Biblical quotations." He had the Bible at his tongue. end. He never spoke long, and knew nearly every jury by name, talking to them one at a time, more like an old friend.
Two of the three cases in which he appeared in the United States Supreme Court were decided in his favor.
While his legal learning was not pro- found, he possessed a remarkably clear knowledge of fundamental princi- ties in law, guided him right in most instances.
"The story is told that he once appeared in a suit to recover some money. At the trial the defendant produced a receipt signed by the plaintiff. Lincoln arose to leave the court room.
"Where are you going?" asked the judge.
"To wash my hands,' replied Lincoln.
"Lincoln appeared for all sorts of clients, corporations as well as individuals, the reports showing that his clients included banks, insurance companies and railroads. He studied his cases hard and prepared his arguments with great care. While his mode of speaking was of unimpassionate tone, he also stressed it, the most eloquent passages in our language. As Chief Justice Taft said of him: 'His mind was luminous with truth.'
"His personal law library was small—less than forty volumes. When Lincoln left Springfield to assume the duties of the presidency, his entire family moved to a nearby average yearly income at this time was about $3000. This was more than the income of most attorneys of that period, although not to be compared with the former incomes of Lincoln, Hamilton, Story and Webster."
Doctor Burdick trace the early life of Lincoln, telling of the purchase of his first law book in 1824, and of his beginning to study law as a regular thing after his return from the Black Hawk war. Lincoln was admitted to the bar in 1837, when he was 28 years old, and in the succeeding 43 years he had three partners, at different times.
