The winning streak started toward the end of the 1928 season when the Loyola bas- keteers won their last five games. They won all 18 games played last season. ‘This year’s prospects are brighter than ever because of the great show- ing of two sophomores, Bob Schu- man and Dick Butzen.

OWA CITY, Iowa, December 12.— Reiterating its conviction that the proper field of athletic competition for the University of Iowa lies in the Western Conference, the Iowa board in control of athletics last night declared ineligible 22 athletes and re newed its battle for conference re statement. The charge against the ath- letes were that they received aid from the now famous “trust fund.” The list of athletes was not made public, but it was known that five foot ball players, Mike Farroh of Michigan City, Ind., elected co-captain of the 1930 eleven last night; Oran Pape, Dubuque; Pete Affre, Quincy, Ill.; Irving Nelson, Omaha, and Seward Leeka, Independ- ence, Mo, were on the list. Nelson, Farroh and Leeka are also regulars on the basket ball team. ‘The board, which met in the after- noon and continued in session until after midnight, drafted a resolution in- viting the conference to “send a com- mittee to Towa City within the near fu- ture to review the situation for the pur- of ascertaining whether essential Jjustice due these men may not warrant their reinstatement.” ‘The resolution was in fact a waiver of the right of the individual school to act finally on the eligibility of its ath- letes, giving to the conference the au- thority to reverse the eligibility findings to any member institution. ‘While ylelding this right, the board again asserted its “sovereign jurisdic- tion” on the selection of the personnel of the staff and administrative organ- ization at the university, thereby up- holding its right to retain George T. Bresnahan as track coach despite the disapproval of the conference. Dean C. C. Williams said & thorough investigation would begin at once into the cases of each of the 22 suspended athletes. ‘The board, in its resolution, placed the blame for the troubles of the ath- letes on “an irregularity of a past ath- letic administration.” It further stated that it felt “it was not fair or just to the individual athlete to penalize him for the innocent participation” in the trust fund, which had received official sanction at the time of its existence. The Hawkeye conching staff was called into, the board session for a time, an extraordinary procedure, pre- sumably for discussion of booking games. Towa clinched at least two contests for the 1930 season during the day. One game, with Penn State November 15, will be played either here or at Soldfer Field, Chicago. The other is the first on & four-game contract with the University of Nebraska, to be played here November 22. Representations to the University of California for a game here October 15 were refused because of lack of an open | date on the coast team's schedule. | Baylor University of Texas and Detroit University were also invited to play Towa, Baylor here November 4 or 11, and Detroit there November 1. The renewal of the fight for rein- statement in the Big Ten apparently | exploded rumors yesterday that a new conference was being considered, com- i prising the Universities of Minnesota, | Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri : and Kansas. 1 JONES IS CONSIDERED BIRMINGHAM, Ala, December 12 (#).—Dr. Bradford Knapp, president of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, sald | that Capt. “BI” Jones, former Army head coach, is under consideration for Bohler.

ATON ROUGE, La., December 12. —Southern Conference coaches and athletic officials are gath- | ness meeting ganization. The coaches will start proceedings with their powwow tonight, this to be followed tomorrow and Saturday by the sessions of the conference proper. The usual gossip went the rounds of the lobby of the hotel where the coaches made headquarters. A matter on which the coaches seem- ed unanimous was that there would be no split in the Southern Conference at this year's meeting, all talk of Dixie big tens to the contrary. There is considerable sentiment among the coaches for a split, but a | number of the older heads are willing [m 0 on record as predicting that no such radical move will be made this year, anyway. The chief business confronting the for the All-North and All-South teams | which _meet at Atlania New Year day in a charity game. The _impression seemed to be that Maj. Charles Bachman, coach of the Florida Alligators, would be selected to pilot the team from the Southern end, with Harry Gammage, youthful men- tor of the Kentucky Wildcats, at the helm of the Northern eleven. One of the matters slated to come before the conference is a move to es- tablish a commissioner for the Southern | Conference, who would have power to | appoint officials for all conference games, and thus relieve the coaches ! and athictic directors of much of their | worries along these lines. Arthur Hutchins of Lake Wales, Fla., present secretary and treasurer of the Southern Officials’ Association, is being prominently mentioned for this post.

The Celtics will meet a team regard- ed as a strong contender for the North- jern Virginia_ unlimited crown in the McLean outfit. The invading team en- joyed a successful campaign last season and opened the current season in im- pressive style last night by downing the Floris High School. Episcopal High and Emerson Insti- tute of Washington abandoned plans for a regulation basket ball contest here yesterday and went through a stiff two-hour scrimmage. Episcopal will open its campaign on December 20 with Eastern High School of Washington, coming here for a game !in the Episcopal gymnasium at 4 o'clock.

METHODISTS PLAY DOR-A BASKETERS Company F Meets Woodlawn Tonight in Second Game at Hyattsville. Methodis will clash tonight in a Prince Georges County Basket Ball League game on the National Guard Armory floor here. The game, starting at 7:30 o'clock, will precede a contest in which Company F, National Guard, basketers will play host to Woodla: A. C. team of Washington. Should Dor-A tossers, who have won two of their three league games, con- quer the Methodists tonight, they will be tled with the Company F quint for second place at three wins and one de- feat each. A victory for the Methodists would put them in third place with two wins against one loss, and would shove | Dor-A into fourth place. | Company F, which has lost several | mainstays of its team of last Winter, has shown steady improvement under the tutelage of Coach Jimmy Vincent. | Upon request of Rockville High School authorities, the basket ball game sched- uled here tomorrow afternoon between the quint representing that institution and Hyattsville High has been post- poned. The Montgomery County school wants & clear field tomorrow for an en- tertainment to be given there. The Rockville game was the only contest booked for the Hyattsville team this week, but Coach Stanleigh Jenkins’ | charges will continue hard practice the remainder of the week in preparation or contests next week with the Oakton, Va., High team here on Tuesday and with Tech Friday in Washington. Coach Jenkins has decided that his best bets are: Manager Rolph Jerrell and Woodward Hurd, forwards; Warren Evans, center, and Stanley and Marvin Lewis, guards. Leading substitutes include William Morris, center and guard; Curley Byrd, | jr., guard; Burdette Cogar, guard or forward, and Alvin McChesney, forward. Drafting of a schedule for the second half of the Prince Georges County Basket Ball League, which will get under way early next month, and the eligibility of proposed new players which various teams of the loop wish to add will be considered at a meeting of managers to be held Monday night at 7:15 o'clock in the National Guard | | Armory here. A foot ball game scheduled at River- dale yesterday afternoon between the Hyattsville High eleven and the Devitt School lightweights of Washington was canceled upon request of Devitt au- thorities, who said that their team had disbanded. This contest was the only one of the season scheduled for the Hyattsville eleven, which was organized late in the season in order to get a line on material for next year’s team. It was declded only a few weeks ago to give the grid- iron game its first trial at the Hyatts- ville school. Some good prospects came to light during the drills, which the Hyattsville squad has been undergoing since the close of the soccer season a few weeks ago. Morris (Frenchy) Cohan, Hyattsville boy, is making a strong bid for & berth on the University of Maryland varsity basket ball team, and is likely to see action in the Old Liners’ opening game |§ninst William _and Mary tomorrow night at College Park. Cohan is a graduate of Hyattsville High School, where he was a stellar all- around athlete. No captain will be elected for the 1930 Hyattsville High School soccer team, it has been announced by Coach Stanleigh Jenkins. Instead a captain will be ap- pointed by him for each game. Jenkins said that such procedure will be followed in connection with all ath- letic teams which he coaches at the school. He believes that it will make for baster team play. X ST. STEPHEN’S SQUAD HONORED BY LEAGUE ‘Twenty-seven members of the St.: Stephen’s A. C. foot ball team, which won the 150-pound championship of the | Capital City League during the past| season, were presented with gold foot balls by the league at a banquet held last night at the St. Stephen's club house.

A report that Georgetown would abondon boxing brought a protest from some of the students and alumni. The faculty adviser of athletics, Father O'Brien, is quoted as saying it has not been definitely decided to pass up the ring game. Rumors and counter rumors as to who would succeed Lou Little on the Hilltop were flying thick and fast to: day, with a definite announcement e: pected by the Georgetown authorities within a few days. Telegraphic advices from Pittsburgh have Elmer Layden, Duquesne coach, considering an offer from the Hoyas. It is understood, however, that Mike Palm and John Dagrossa, who assisted Little, are being considered seriously for the big job. ‘Tony Plansky, who was an outstand- ing and versatile athlete at Georgetown, has signed to play the outfield for the Buffalo club in the International League. Four former Washington high school boys are strong candidates for places on Duke University’s basket team.
