Griffith, commissioner of Big Tvn athietics. Dean James Page of the Univer sity of Minnesota is head of a spe- cidl . investigating committee which was named last Saturday after the faculty athletic committce of the Big Ten had voted Towa out of the con- ference. The action, Major Griffith said, is in line with the decision of the faculty committee to call showdown in athletic affairs; “a final attempt by the Big Ten to stem the tide of professionalism which has tended in recent years to wreck college athletics.” “The question now has become whether the Big Tea shall come vut into the open and adopt as legin- mate the recruiting practice, as em- ployed in the big bassball leagues, or whether we ahall stick te' our amateur atatus,” Major Griffith said. “The Big Ten has decided to stick to its amateur code, and has decid- ed that it will have no athletic deal- ings with any colleges or universi- tiés pot equally strict in their ama- teurism. “The old grad—the achool-spirited alumnus—is the chief oftender in the practice of recruiting athletic talent for schools. The problem now has become whether this type of alien is to become the sovereign ruler of college athletics, or wheth- er supreme authority shall rest with alumni the proper achool heads, “In many institutions, control the entire athietic admini. | \ stration, If the president stands !n the way, it is understood the alumni can resort to politiclans who will ask the state legislature for the col- lege president's head; and the presi- dent knows that the legislature would rather serve his head to the influential alumni businessmen than, as a political body, take any Inter- eat in defense of the ideals of pure eell: athletics. 'We are going to try to stop this procedure, save the game. Last Decémber, Major Griftiih said, the football coaches and ath- letic directors of the ten universities were asked to vote on the question of whether in their opinion the game was getting worse, because of recruiting and simllar practices, or better. The vete was 19 to 1 that conditions wers worse. Major owu.:m he would per. sist in refy the do- s Jeading to the uu ouster, nor would he divaige the players {avélved. The #aid, bas decided it is * fair. Magjor Griffith left early today for Iowa City in respense to a requust by University of Iowa officials that he enlighten them as to the reasons for the ouster. He said he was go- ing “not as a prosccutor, nor as a Qelender." “I probably will give them a fe- tailed explanation,” he said, may not.” MAJOR LEAGUE LEADERS By the Amociated Press.

Ath- DEFEIflI TTLE Sonnewberg, Heavyweight Champion Wrestles Marin Ples- tina in Boston Tonight. Boston, May 28 (#—Gus Sonnen- berg's heavyweight wrestling cham- pionship apparently will be in great- er danger tonight than in any of the 60 odd bouts he hus engaged in since toppling Ed “Strangler” Lewis from the throne five months ago. Marin Plestina, so-called trust bust. er, who has chased every wrestling champion for the past 10 years, is to have his chance at last. Some fol- lowers of the game foresee for 8om- nenberg the toughest match of his career when he meets the Italian at the Arena tonight. In facing the giant Plestina. Son- nenberg is conceding 40 pounds in weight, eight inches in height and many inches in reach. Although the champion realizes that his diamond belt will be in |jeopardy from siart to finish he s !confident that his celebrated flying tackle will prove too difficuit an ob- siacle for even the redoubtable Ples. tina to surmount. In accepting Plestine as an op- ponent the Ttalian sign & contract for a re- turp mateh within 30 days if Ples tina wins. Gus tor ) NATIONS FRATERNIZE OVI'R DAVIS CUP TWO GAHES Tennls is the universal language of the sport world. OCom has & world-whie flavor. Hemri Cochet, U, 8. A, (right), may figure prominently ift this year's contesta, New York, May 28.—UP—The racketeers of tennis are the diplo- mats of aports. The language of the courts is the language of the world and the clan of the Davis cup rivals the league of nations. Dwight Davis, donor of the cup, cast a pebble back in 1900. He never dream#d that a tidal wave, would follow to wash thc shores of 30 nations whose only tie is a com- mon rivaliry. This year 29 countries are carry- ing on an internecine warfare with ‘winner privileged to challenge France, holder of the silver bowl since 1927, And before that the cup was in America for the period of Joseph's years of leanness. Challenges are in sones and play g0es on all over the world. Singles and doubles are played under the scorching suns of Atrica and through the chilly blasts of Canada. By July 21 these eliminations will be done and the winner will be meeting Cochet wnd Borotra, LaCoste and Jacques Uirugnon. The matches will be played in France, the defendera always welcoming the enemy on their own tiltings grounds. ‘The path of the Davis cup com- petitions is paved with stubs of steamship tickets. Japan came to America; America will go to France. And in 1920 when Big Bill Tilden and Li'l Bill Johnson brought home the cup for the first time, they traveled past the sun to Australia and back again. A Until 1927 the cup was unilingual —the winners were England and Austr and the United States. Then came the French and to the tune of gentle howls the inscription of the winners was set down in & language that all who prowl the Bois might read. It is to be that way. Victory for the Japs means idio- graphs for the engravers; the Ger- mans may say it in Deutsch, the Croats may gloat in Croatian. For 29 years the list has heen played, growing in size and car the message of sportsmansh®h | wherever a ball could bounce. To- day this battle for world's tennis supremacy towers like a giant among its Lillip6tian neighbors in the world of sport.

Billy Preisser held the Methodists to five hits and was given perfect support by his mates, while the 8t.

The game was the closcst and most exciting of the night but was marred by six infleld errors committed by the losers and prac- tically handing the game to the Stanmors. The winners got away fast on hits by P. and J. Thorstenson and Young, making two runs, but the Bouth church took the lead in ita turn at bat when Morey bunted safely, .Parker sacrificed, and Bell, Barta, Walther, and Bomba all con- nected safely. In the third, how- ‘aver. the losers’ infield blew up, and the Stanmors were handed three runs on some miserable playing. A repetition of the erratic work made it 6-3 in the sfxth, and, though the losers got one in their half, the Stanmors preserved their three-run lead by acoring once more in the last frame. Young ahd Fd Btohl were the batting heroes of the game, making three hits each, while P. Thorsten also got a pair. Parker, Barta, Walther, Bomba, and Hattings made two apiece for the losers. Bomba contributed the fielding feature of the game by a sliding stop in cen- ter field which cut off an extra-base hit. The winners accorded Frank Kieffer errorless support. In the last inning the Stanmor pitcher was laid low by a ball from Parker's bat, but he retired his man at first , after the game had been hallcd for a few minutes, continued in the box and got the next two batters.
