By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 28.—All is not quiet along fhe Western Conference front. In the wake of the era of peace and tranquillity’ that followed Towa's reinstatement to good standing last Spring, many internal disputes and ruptures have broken out. The athletic group, comp:sed of 10 of the leading Midwest universities, sizzled with ex- citement today. Down at Indlana, Coach Pat Page was involved in a dispute with the uni- versity athletic board over his resigna- tion and salary differences. It may eventually affect the entire conference. A sharp reverberation of its expulsion from the conference was heard over at Iowa, where the Educational Cmmittee of the State Hquse of Representatives demanded an investigation of charges that Walter A. Jessup, president of the university, was largely responsible for the conference's ouster order. Alumni Fight Coach. At Wisconsin, the controversy over the retenticn of Glen Thistlethwaite as head foot ball coach refused to die. Many alumni still fought his backers, and while the faculty Athletic mittee refused to dismiss him at its meeting December 19, the fight against him was carried on. ‘Added to these cases were the agita- tion here and there among alumni to get coaches with winning foot ball and basket ball ways and an investigation by the conference of the athletic eligi- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO - Gallaudet Has Listed Seven Grid Tilts : Outstanding Performers in Sports Few BIG TEN PEACE WRECKED BY VARIETY OF WRANGLES bility of several foot ball players—and investigation still marked by secrecy as far as names were concerned. The Page case attracted attention of the conference leaders because of a purported “alumni salary pool.” Page contended that when he came to Indiana in 1926 a small group of friendly alumni volnnteered to pay half of his salary of between $12,000 and $13,000 a year. When he failed to pro- duce a winning team, he said, they broke their promise, the university ab- sorbing the full contract. Subsequently, he said, the university gave him an- other contract through the year of 1931 for $13,000. Since he was re- quested to resign, Page contended fur- ther, the university owed him $16.,750, including his 1931 salary. May Go to Court. ‘The University Board of Control, however, is fighting his demand, claim- ing it owes him salary only up to April 1, when his services will be officially taken over by E. C. Hayes, track coach and freshman foot ball coach for the last seven years. Page indicated he would carry his fight to Western Conference heads and, failing there, to the courts. ‘Twenty charges were leveled at Pres- ident Jessup of Iowa by the Educational Institutions Committee, which was prompted in its investigation by a news- paper “expose” of athletic conditions at Iowa before and after the Big Ten ouster. So far as known no known investiga- tion has been undertaken by the con- ference officially in in the Page and Jes- sup cases. GONZAGA, ST. 0HN'S BATTLE TOMORROW Latter Shows Well in Win Over G. U.

BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR. HE dynasty appears totter- I ing. After winning the public high school basket ball championship for the past two seascns Tech today is dangerously near being out of the struggle for another flag. McKinley has just the fightingest sort of chance yet, a chance which is predicated upon it winning all three of its remain- ing games while the four other teams each lose two of the four games they have left. Tech's hopes received a blow yes- terday when the Gray for the second time in the series fell before Eastern, 35 to 29. This game followed a match in which Business scored its third ;tni;h_:’ win by vanquishing Western, 8 to 26. As the result Business and Eastern today are out in front in the title race. Central After Tech. Central will have an opportunity Friday of settling Tech’s hash. The by lowering the Gray can make sure that the very best the latter can do in the series is to finish in a five- b tie for the title, a remote possi- ity. How Central is looking for this game! The Blue ever is hot for conquest over Tech, and to upset McKinley and at the same time dash its title hopes is to Central a rosy prospect. Central was conquered by Tech only 25 to 26 in their first half meeting recently and is for revenge. Eastern and Western are expected to put on a rousing battle in the sec- ond half of Friday's double-header. The Light Blue was a 32-26 victor over the ‘West End boys in their first-half clash. A victory for Eastern will give it un- disputed possession of first place, since Business is not to play a series game Friday. ‘Business Loses Lucas. Incidentally, there’s much specula- tion today among series followers as to how Business is going to fare in its next three les without Bobbie Lucas, its clever little forward. Lucas wound up his public high court career yester- day. He graduates tomorrow. It is eed his loss will be a tremendous blow. Leon Esenstad, who has shown well, will take Lucas’ place. Both Eastern and Business won handily yesterday. Eastern, though, was offered brisk battling in the first part of the game with Tech and the Gray rallied to cut the Lincoln Park- ers' lead to six points as the game ended. After the latter part of the first quarter, however, Eastern always set the pace.

STATE STAR SOUGHT FOR ARMY, IT IS STATED Attempt Made to Recruit Goff, Brilliant in Four Sports, Providence Paper Declares, Quoting Correspondence in Case. By a Staff Correspondent. ROVIDENCE, R. I, January 28 (N.AN.A.) —The Evening Bul- letin, in a copyrighted story, says that it is in possession of correspondence showing an attempt to recruit Kenneth Goff, Rhode Island State College backfield star, for the ‘West Point foot ball team. Goff in the past season was second highest scorer in the East. The Bulletin prints photostatic copies of letters to Goff from W. T. Wright- son of New York City advising the player, who is a Brockton, Mass., man, to apply for appointment to West Point frcm the Worcester district telling him to communicate with Representative George R. Stobbs there. In another letter, inclosing a “sug- gested letter” to Representative Stobbs, Wrightson advises Goff to say, “I used to live in Brockton, Mass., and prepared at the Brockton High , but for the past year have been living with Capt. McEwan at the Hotel Standish Worcester, Mass., where I go to spend my Summers and my vacations.” Goff never lived in Worcester. He came to Rhode Island State from Campello, a Brockton suburb, which still is his home, Capt. McEwan is John J. McEwan, Holy Cross. coach, West Point alumnus and fcrmer foot ball star. From 1923 to 1926 he was head foot ball coach at West Point. McEwan Sought. Capt. McEwan, in a statement, said he had been asked by Wrightson, who is a friend of his, to recommend the Rhode Island State player for appoint- ment to West Point. He denied recom- mending Goff to Representative Stobbs, but admitted granting the foot ball star an interview about Goff's desire to enter West Point. Representative Stubbs said he knew | Capt. McEwan well, but had never heard of Wrightson. He said that Goff had come to see him last Saturday morning in Worcester after Wrightson had ar- ranged for an interview, and that after some conversation the Rhode Island State player frankly admitted that he was not a resident of Worcester. The Representative said he immediately told Goff that put him out of the running, as he would appoint a man from own district. ‘Wrightson, who is eastern sales man- ager of the Garden City Fan Co., told the Bulletin that Cadet Paul Carroll, manager-elect of the Army foot ball 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR.
