CONFIDENT RIGHT STEP TAKEN| By the Associated Press. IOWA CITY, Towa, January 11.—| *The Iowa board in control of athletics | announced early today aftsr meeting with the Big Nine investigating com- mittee that after consultation with the Western Conference elizibility investi- gating committee it was convinced its recent action in declaring 13 athletes ineligible was ‘“correct.” The confer-| ence committee wiil report its investi- | ?llion to the Big Nine controlling body | or_action. The investigating committee, headed by Prof. Thomas E. French of this university, concluded its hearing late last night. Prof. French said the faculty control committee of the West- ern Conference has power to act. ‘The hearing had been asked by Iowa officials on_behalf of the 13 ineligible athletes. Hawkeye authorities in re- questing it said they wished to know &L “essential justice does not warrant feinstatement of these athletes.” Their statement early today was taken as indicating they had abandoned their previous attitude, Neither Jowa officials nor members of the conference committe would con- jecture what would be the effect on Jowa’s suspended athletic relations with Big Nine schools in view of the ap- parent change in attitude. It has been ‘considered that Iowa's fatlure to declare them ineligible prior to Iowa's hearin in Chicago in December was the focal point in its failure to obtain reifgtate- ament in the conference. 35 | challenged by Corinthians.

BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, January 11. — The championship hopes of one favorite in the Western Con- ference basket ball title strug- gle will suffer tonight when Michigan and Purdue engage at Lafayette, Ind. The experts have rated both teams as certain first-division material, and Michigan, by an impressive 31-to-17 triumph over Minnesota in its opener last Saturday night, indicated it is as powerful as last season, when it shared the champlonship with Wisconsin. Pur- due will be making its first start of the champlonship campaign. Its prelim- inary season was not impressive, but it will be at full strength for the first time and figures to be right for the Wolverine invasion. Wisconsin, usually in the thick of conference title basket ball races, ‘al- ready has a comeback job to do, and will ‘attempt it against Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio, tonight. The Badgers suffered a surprise defeat by North- western in their first conference game, last Saturday night, and Coach Walter Meanwell has worked his squad stren- uously this week to break into the vic- tory column. Ohio State also dropped its first game, bowing to Illinols & week ago. ‘Wildeats' Power Increased. Northwestern will seek to make Min- nesota its second straight victim tonight at Minneapolis. The Wildcats will have !ruur man power against the Gophers han when they defeated Wisconsin last week. Bob Lockhart, sophomore regu- lar guard, has recovered from illness and will be available for action, Minne- in | sota, however, will be without a regular star, Don Bondy, who must pass a con- ditional examination in one of his courses before he will again be eligible. Chicago and Indiana will play their inaugurals at Chicago. The Maroons were more successful in their early sea- son games, but did not encounter the . | class of com!gelmon met by Indiana. Chicago 'has shown steady improvement, while Coach Everett Dean of Indiana has pointed for the conference season, promising a close battle. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS, LMOST every good golf course pays a premium for straight- ness from the tees, but few lay- outs impose the severe penalties found in the rough of the Riviera Coun- try Club, where the $10,000 Los Angeles open now is being played. Riviera is a canyon course and along the sides of the fairways and back of the greens mlg be found oak and syca- more trees, heavy shrubbery and = thick, wiry grass that often completely hides an errant ball. A deep barranca adds to the confusion on seven holes and numerous man-made traps, filled with a heavy, white sand, are scientifi- cally placed to_devour wild shots. layed at Riviera before. George Von glm actually had to grub out a bush to play his ball and Walter Hagen had to execute a new sort of trick shot to get clear from the fork of a tree. Riviera is just a great course so long as a player does not stray from the fairways. This year it has been made more_difficult by the addition of sev- eral hundred yards that now make the | course 6,900 yards. Fairways Beautiful. Riviera partially compensates golfers for its wild rough by offering as fine fairway can be found in the world. When Bobby Jones played there last Summer, he declared the fairways the best he ever had seen. And the greens also are beautiful and respond ac- curately to_the well stroked putt. With such a large dividend depending on players’ straightness, Horton Smith, the wizard from Joplin, Mo., was the pre-tournament favorite, while Mac- Donald Smith and Leo Diegel were bracketed second. The young member of the large Smith family seldom ex- plores the rough of any course, for his short but rhythmic stroke usually sends his ball humming down the middle of the green lanes. Tommy Armour, the Detroit star, favors Horton, but the Black Scot him- self may be a strong contender for the big purse if he has regained his strength completely. Brilliant iron play is de- manded on Riviera, and when Armour is rightt no man can swing the iron blades with his skill, MacDonald Smith, with two victories in the Los Angeles open to his credit will not be far away when the cashier opens his window, if he plays his usual brand of golf.

NEW YORK, January 11.—There's partial lull in National Professional Hockey League warfare over the week end, with most of the battle eoncen- trated in the American group. Two games are on tonight's schedule and three tomorrow. Tonight Ottawa faces Les Canadiens at Montreal, with the latter favored to draw closer to the Montreal Maroons, pace-setters in the International group. In the other game on the night card the tail-end Pittsburgher pirate of the American group tackle the last-place New York Americans of the International section. This game will be played in Pitts- burgh. ‘Tomorrow night, while the Boston Bruins seek their fifteenth successive victory at the expense of the Americans at New York, the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks will hook up in a crucial battle at Chicago. The Rangers, haolding second place in the American group, need to win or tie to keep the Blackhawks from moving past them in the standings.

MacKenzle, internation- ally famed amateur golfer, who devel- oped in Washington the game that has brought him fame here and abroad, has come back to Washington to make his home with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert R. MacKenzie. Roland has left the financial house with which he has been associated in New York for nearly a year and is “looking around” and, incidentally, catching up on his golf. Yesterday he | played a few holes over the Columbia course, and will continue playing if the weather remains good for the duration of his stay in the Capital. ‘Two days ago Roland was in Provi- dence, where he was best man for his close friend and college roommate— Elm | Everett Eynon—at the wedding of the ‘ashington son of the secretary of the Wi base ball club. The young also is & fine golfer and & member of Columbia, h he has not played in many tournaments. Prom the tone of events in New York it now appears certain that George J. Voigt. even though he may not be one of the best contract bridge players, will be chosen by the United Staets Golf Association as a member of the Walker Cup team which will meet a British team at Sandwich, Eng- land, next Spring for the international amateur hy. bert Tyre Jones, jr., the world outstanding golfer, was named captain of the team yesterday by the United States Golf Association, and developments with regard to Walker Cup team selections indicate the following line-up for the simon pure team: Jones, Harrison R. Johnston, George von Blm, Dr. O. F. Willing, Jess Sweetser, Francis Ouimet, George Voigt and Roland MacKenzle. It may be that the team selectors will choose Eugene Homans, who tied with Jones for the national champlonship qualifying medal last year, and that Maurice J. McCar- thy may be named as a member. But Maurice is said to think that an edu- cation is more important than a place on_the Wall Cup team. One of the important rulings of the executive committee at its meeting in New York yesterday was that raising the age limit of eaddies from 16 to 18 years, which means that a lad does not automatically become a professional if he carries a golf bag for hire until he reaches the age of 18 years.

BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. 'S quint today is out in front in the public high school basket title race with two wins in as many starts and appears regain the championship which it relinquished to Tech last Winter. The Blue and White rang up its second win yesterday when it triumphed, 24-22, over a furiously struggling Business team. In the second half of the double-header { in its series debut, defeated Eastern, 36 to 32. It was a bitter blow to the Business team, the defeat by Central, but if defeat can be glorious this one was. The Stenogs, who humbled 26, Tuesday, waged a great battle A one-hand toss Western staged an uphill fight to overcome an Bastern quint that fought with all it had until the final whistle. Eastern’s title chances now are slim in view of its two defeats in as many starts. ‘With Downey Rice, lanky center, and ‘Wilbur Cross, stalwart forward, head- ing its drive, Central gained an early though slender lead over Business. The Stenogs, however, managed to forge ahead just before the half ended when Spencer Chase, nmgy center, dropped in a foul to give his team the edge at 13 to 12. 'hase, with Pete Loftus, husky- guard, did most of Business’ scoring. Capt. Natie Newman, who lit- erally ran wild against Tech Tuesday, was stopped cold, failing to score a single goal from scrimmage. Three floor tosses constituted his offensive contribution. Second Half Brisk. Furious battling marked the second half, with the score 17-all at the end of the third quarter. Playing time was fast waning when Parkins came through with his one-hand shot and Cross with the foul that carried the Blue and White to its win. Business was handicapped in the final minutes by the loss by fouls of Chase and was hurt all through the game by Capt. Newman's inability to get his scoring eye. At that, Newman's scoring eye might not have been so far off, but Parkins saw to it that ke was covered in a thorough manner. In fact, none of the Business players was so hot at scoring from the floor. ‘The Stenogs were able to ring up only five two-pointers, while Central was caging 10. From the foul line, though, the Orange and Blue showed decided superiority, droppf in an even dozen markers, while Central was cashing in on only four. The Stenogs, however, had about twice as many chances for one-pointers, Bob Freeman, center; Capt. Jimmy Thompson, forward, and Paul Chatlin, guard, were in the forefront of the Western attack. Freeman scored 11 points and Thompson and Chatlin 9 each. Bill Noonan, center; Joe Robey, guard, and Capt. Jimmy Ryan, forward, did the bulk of the Eastern basket sniping, the first two each reaching the cords for 10 points and Ryan for 7. Robey's banishment on fouls in the third quarter hurt the Lincoln Parkers. Western Starts Slowly. Eastern started in dashing style, scoring 7 points before Western was able to get the range of the basket. Then the Red and White got busy with a will and before the Arst quarter was over had gained the lead only to lose it shortly afterward. Eastern was ahead, 14 to 11, when the opening quarter cnded. Western contrived to gain the edge at 21-17 at half time. Thereafter the boys from across the creek were always ahead, though it was not until the final quarter that Western gained a fairly safe lead. ‘The line-ups and series statistics: Du Sineman. ..
