MeLain, [owa’s Cherokee Indian fullback, played with the Haskell) Indians for two seasons before en- | tering Iowa. While the Big Ten h: ruled Haskell to be a preparatory cchool, those who protest against MeLain point out that Haskell plays against other colleges of importance and should be classed as a college. Holman attended Iowa State col- lege before entering Uhio State and several Iowa alumni have protested to Comm ner John R. Griffiths that the Big ‘Yen rule was violated in his case. With the Big Ten football sched- ules virtually completed, most of the Ciscussion of the coaches promises | to center about policy of eligibility and transfer.

Must Buy Grass “What do I think of the Cubs?” “I’m not thinking this. I know it. The Cubs will have the finest infield.and outfield in baseball—if they buy my grass.” Hornsby’s farm is stocked with blooded horses, cattle, hogs and chickens, but all the pasture sections of the farm are not used to graze the stock. There are several acres de- voted to the cultivation of the very finest grass, a commodity that Hornsby thinks has a great future market for use on golf courses, base- ball diamonds, football fields and tennis courts. With the exception of some expe- ditions into the scientific field of tiscovering how the ponies are going to finish (a pastime which he in- sists is no one’s business but his own), Hornsby has been a very shrewd business man. He talked himself into the salary he thought he was worth when he was playing with the Cardinals and he-also forced | | the owners to take him in as a stock- | | holder. man with the Giants and the Braves had to assume the same salary obli- gation. -It is not known what the Cubs marked in on his new contract but the amount was certainly not less. It may have been more and it is understood that he was given a comfortable bonus for signing the new contract. “I had to do a lot of heavy talk- ing to Mr. Wrigley and Mr, Veeck,” he said. “They’re big business men and those men who are immensely wealthy like Mr. Wrigley have to be shown, But I think I have shown them.” “Was there any danger that you wouldn’t sign the contract?” he was asked. “What contract?” he retorted. “Your baseball contract.” Contract Was Minor “I wasn’t talking about any base- any longer than Ty Cobb did when my active baseball days over I want to ha other office elected tonig’ Golf association holds its annual meeting. “I live for baseball, of course, but there are those months in the year when I can’t play baseball and I spend those months aes myself fit for another season. been sick. ache and I never have felt badly in the morning. to it, it is a great life and I have discovered that it can be a profitable value of $250,000 or more. life. never have T never have had a head- When you get used “T know that I'm not going to 1 another business in hand.
