RECORDS LOWERED Lowa Students Want Director Of Athletics Local Board Will Make Further Ef- fort to Secure Co-Operation of State Authorities. IOWA CITY, ia, April 8.—(Special )- Though the State Board of Education has abandoned the securing of an’athletic di- rector for the University of lowa because of lack of funds, local authorities, encour- aged by the finance commities of the board, are still considering plans for por- fecting a directorate next year and putting the athletics on-a satisfactory basis. No official announcement has been made, | but it is believed that funds can be secured from the local board to partially pay first year's salary providing financlal as- | sistance is in sight from the state later on. the outcome from a dollars and ocents standpoint of the spring's athleties | will largely decide the policy of the local board in control of - athletics Athletics here have made money.in the | last three years and the board has been | able to help pay. for. the construction of | cement bieachers on Towa field.

The showing of the Towa athietes in the | Omaha meet pleased the students and hopes were expressed that the university would be represented by one of the best and most evenly balanced track squads in the middie west this season, However, the optimism was soon counteracted by rumors concerning the eligibility of several of the men who “did things” at Omaha, and, the predictions for this spring are more uncer- tain than ever.

The Nebragka team is booked to play Manhat- thn and Kansas next week. The Corn- husker board met this evening to pass on the qualifications of the men on the local team. g Coach Carroll told the members of the board that he knew practically all the men on his squad had played semi-professional ball and that they were ineligible under the antl-summer ball rule of the conference. Certain members of the board had evidence to this same effect. -The question was then raised whether the board should sign a statement saying these' were eligible un- der the rule. It was the opinion of the board that Nebraska should refuse to make any feise statement regarding its players, but should tell'the truth and then let the other colleges play the Cornhuskers or not play them. In accordance with this sentment the present time in faculty disfavor. STANLEY. KETCHEL ARRESTED!

BASE SUMMER BALL Ity Wil Make LINCOLN April 8.—(Special.)—-On e | eve of its annual southern trip the Ne- | | braska base ball team is threatened with | the loss of five of its players who ocame | through the mid-semester examinations ! with the delinquency tag attached to their names, and it begins to look as though the | | prospects of defeating Kansas next week | will be . depleted before the Cornhuskers are ready to emerge from their stronghoid ' | and start toward Jayhawkerville Four of the five men who falled to get | through * with twelve hours to their cre- | | @it are pitchers, players whom the coach had planned in using on the southerfi tour. | The fitth man is a star fielder. The delin | quency among the pitchers has practically { killed any chances the Oornhuskers might have had of winning the games on its trip, | | and the oniy hope of making & good show- | ing next week ‘is that the pitchers—or at least two of them—will be able to satisfy { the eligibility that their work Is in proper condition. To do that act means that the { men will ha to' make up the work in which they are delinquent and pass exam- inations in the subjects in which they are weak. It was announced today that the delin- quency in’ three, or four cases of the five men was excusable on the ground that the | players had either been sick or had simply | failed to do a little note-book work that | was required in the particular courses im | | which they falled. If_such is really the | true status, the greater share of the con- | | ditionea men wiil be able to get their stud- | |les into shape to command a oredit of i | twelve hours from the registrar's, office. | Mathers' Work is lutmet. Only cne member of the twirling staff pulled through the examimations with | twelve hours. He is Mathers, who was the | star slab artist on the varsity last speing and who seems to be delivering more than | his share of the gilt-edged goods this sea- son. . The. report received from the regis- traris office shows that Storms, Frank, Adams and Olmstesd had been selected 1o { do. the twirling on/the southern trip, but now that they lack sufficlent credits to | make them eligible it is extremely doubt- tul whom the coaches will pick for -the trip. There really is no other group of piteh- ers in the university from which. Coach Carroll can draw material for this southern trip and unless two of the present de- linquents get up their studies the: Corn- huskers will have to send a team on the trip with but two men on the twirling staff. In the outfield the situation was de- plorable enough when it was thought Sleughter, the fifth delinquent, would be eligible for the team, and now that he has been placed under a ban by the faculty the whole proposition of getting a strong trio for the outer garden has been given a deep blue' coloring. Sleughter, Radciiffe and Sturteznegger had practically been chosen 1o ‘do the playing in the outfield and it was figured that Sleughter would be the strong man of the triumvirate. He Dlays a briliant game in the fleld and is a fairly good batter. The two other fleld- ers play nearly as good ball as Sleughter and with him on the eligible.list the Com- huskers would have had a pretty strong outer garden. 1f Sleughter's condition is not removed ~before next Wednesday | Coach Carroll will be up against the prob- lem of.getting another man for left field, Men Selected 1 Team. After the game with the Lincoln West ern league club on Monday of this week Conch “Bobby” Carroll had about made up his mind to which men would be glven places on the cornhusker team for this year. The fallures at the midsemes- ters have upset his plans, but if the play- ers who are not possessed of tweive hours credit can get their little affalr fixed up with the faculty before next Wednesday the coach will probably take the following men as his lineup for the southern trip Captain Greensiit, catchver; Clarke, first | base; Waters, second base; Meicalfe, shori- | stop; Lotgren or Cummings, third base; | Sleughter, left ficdd. Ratcliffe, center fleid; Sturtesnegger, right field; Mathers, Adams, Frank and Olmstead, pitchers. This lipe-up s contingent pn the action of the deélin- quent men in making up their back work. It in noticed in the fordgoing !line-up that none of the Infleld basemen are doltnguent in their work and all of them are cartain of 'Mr sacks, excepting Lofgren apd Cum- | mings at third. In the ‘game with. the | leaguers -Cummings did not show up as weoll as had been expected. Lofgven played & good game at that sack while he was stationed there. The younxsters were play- ing the first game with the varsity, though, and they were jJust & little bit rattied in trying to make good with the team. The same was bardly & fair test of their sbility and Coach Carroli will not make a choloe between them until they have both had another trial st the job. This chance will be given them nest Tussday when the
