The faculty committee of the conference, composed of representa- tives of each school, issued an announcement at the annual meeting Saturday that Iowa had been expelled “for violation of the rule | prohibiting recruiting and subsidizing of athletes.” Names of the | athletes so subsidized were not revealed. | Paul E. Belting issued a statement charging he was compelled to give up his position as athletic director at Towa because he refused to permit diversion of the school’s athletic fund to aid athletes. | One thousand Iowa students paraded the streets of Iowa City yesterday in protest of the expulsion, storming the residence of | dent Walter Jessup for explanation of the action and later con- Presi gregating in a plan to rotten-egg Belting.

Emphatic announcement by the Chi- cago Alumni Association of the Uni- versity of Iowa that “if Jowa goes out the alumni will find out why some others don't get out, t00.” p Vigorous comment was made by Clar- ence Cook Little, who recently resigned as president of the University of Michi- gan, who charged the committee per- mitted commercial consideration to sway it in setting the date of expulsion at January 1, 1930, instead of making the order immediately effective, and that the committee should have given out all details of the case, in fairness to the public and as a lesson to other ‘member schools. Charges by Iowa students and alumni that Minnesota bad been on the verge of being expelled with Iowa, and that the dropping of Jowa was the result of & “political coup” within the conference. Maj. John L. Griffith, athletic com- missioner of the conference, declared a statement that recruiting and sub- sidizing of athletes was so bad in the Big Ten that the making of 1930 foot Dball schedules last week had to be post- ned. pon was not definitely known today whether the expulsion is effective im- ‘mediately or on January 1, 1930. If im- mediate, & revision of the entire 1929 foot ball schedule is probable, as Iowa has conference games scheduled with Ohio State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minne- sota, Purdue and Michigan. Other members of the conference, generally, remained silent anent the action but announced they would gladly investigate any charges of subsidizing in their institutions. Such charges flew fast and thick at Iowa Oity last night. Changes Recently Made. 10WA CITY, Towa, May 27 (P).— The University of Towa today set about DOWN T WITH W. O. to put its athletic house in order, fol- lowing its ouster from Big Ten Confer: ence competition on charges of sub- sidizing athletes. After two years of dissension, the university had rebullt its atiletic house only a month ago, when Prof. Paul E. Belting resigned as director. Just as E. H. Lauer, Belting's successor, was completing reorganization, the sudden action of the Blg ‘Ten faculty committee has disarranged the athletic depart- ment’s plan. Lauer and other university officials, however, are optimistic over the out- come. As t_hei' prepared a widespread investigation of the charges today, they expressed the belief that the ruling did not expel the school but merely sev- ered relations after January 1, 1830. They indicated that relations might be resumed. In a statement, Belting placed the blame for the ouster on President Walter A. Jessup, who, Belting said. had requested his resignation. Belting declared he had refused to divert funds to help athletes and added: “I assume that the Western Conference interpreted the president’s refusal to Support me as a direct challenge to clean sport in the University of Iowa, and they acted accordingly. I think their judgment is correct.” Two hundred and fifty students left their cramming for final examinations 1ast night to express opposition to Belt- ing. They gathered on the campus in | with the avowed intention of rotten- egging the deposed director, but were dispersed by Lauer and George T. Bres- nahan, track coach and new supervisor of intercollegiate athletics.

WISCONSIN CAN TIE MICHIGAN FOR LEAD By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 27.—Wisconsin today had an opportunity to batter Michigan from the peak of the Big Ten base ball standing in a game at Madison. Michigan, with a record of five vic- torles and one defeat, faced a deter- mined Badger team located in second place with six triumphs in eight starts. The game was the only one of the day. Chicago and Ohio State go into action tomorrow at Columbus in a game to decide the cellar occupancy. Games this-week end will mark the end of the conference campaign for six schools, Minnesota having contests with Chicago and Wisconsin next week. Michigan will entertain Wisconsin ‘Thursday and will wind up. its season against Ohio State Saturday. Iowa, under the cloud of disbarment from Big Ten athletics, will meet Minnesota | Thursday and will play its last base ball game in the conference, unless re- instatement is gained, against Indiana Saturday. The contest also will close Indiana’s 1929 campaign. Northwest- ern will make its final appearance of the season against Minnesota Saturday. BASE BALL STAND BURNS. CHARLOTTE. N. C..

Discontinued models, but brand new and first quality. They met again in San Francisco the same year. I never saw a better matched pair of gladiators nor & harder fight. Each man was down seven times during the bout. Once in the middle of that fight it seemed to me that Ketchel was down for L I was watching this one with a telephone cap over my head chatering bul- letins as it went on. Ketchel was hit fiush on the jaw and he lay there 5o still that I was sure it was all over. The count went to eight and I was just starting to shout “Thomas wins!” when he dragged himself to his feet and the fight went on. In the thirty-second round Ketchel shifted and landed on Thomas's jaw. This time Thomas could not rise. But this was not their most dramatic meeting. The Third Meeting. T was on the night of December 12 of the same year that Ketchel and Thomas met for the third time. This bout was promoted by Capt. Jack Gleason, after- Ward associated with Tex Rickard in the Jeffries-Johnson enterprise. Gleason Jas managing the San Francisco Base Ball Club at the time and picked the base ball park for his arena. To meke sure that the fight would be held he had a huge circus fent stretched over part of the park and the grandstand. That night one of the worst storms ever experienced in that vicinity broke loose. It reached its height just as the main bout started. The wind was blowing with hurricane violence, the rain came down in torrents, lightning flashed and the thunder rumbled intermittenly. The side poles were uprooted and swung like agitated pendulums, and the main pole began to sway ominously. All excepting a few newspaper men forsook the ringside and took refuge in the covered stands, where I would have liked to have gone if I had not been compelled to stick to my wire. Then the lights began to go out all over the place. It seems that the wiring was attached to the tent in some way and ripped loose. The wind tore a rent in the tent directly over the ring and a waterfall poured down on the fighters and the referee and soaked the canvas. But all this time the two fighters were battling savagely, paying no attention to the storm that raged above them At one time they were battling in the shadows, the place being lighted by only one incandescent lamp and the occasional flashes of lightning outside. The rumbling of the thunder drowned the tumult of the crowd and the lightning furnished the light of battle for those two wraith gladiators battling in the shadows. | | L Two Magnificent Gladiators. THAT was & serles of pictures I never shall forget. Joe Thomas wes a fine | looking athlete with a clear-cut and intelligent face. Ketchel was one of | the most beautiful animals that ever stepped into the ring, radiant young Slav, with just a trace of the Tartar slant to his eyes. The scene furnished something of an Olympian illusion. They might have been a pair of gladiators of the elder day battiing before Troy to the accompani- ment of & rain of Jovian thunderbolts and a droppir.g of Plutonian shadows. “This continued for the full 20 rounds. Those in the stands could hardly see what had happened. But it was apparent to those at the ringside that Ketchel was winning, though Thomas was making a gallant attempt to win back his lost ‘laurels. It was so dark then that the announcer, Billy Jordan, had to climb injo the rain-soaked ring and bellow: “Ketchel wins!” | In the following year Ketchel and Thomas met again. him out in the second round.
