Iowa Football Players Are Given q
Slap by the Board
of Control.

No University of Iowa football players
are to receive varsity emblen1s for the
football season OF 1902 because the board
1 OF athletic control, which is the judge
Of those athletes who have earned the
varsity emblem, has decided that none
was earned and consequently the right
to wear the ''I'' will be granted to no one
for work last fall.
4, The work Of the team In the Michigan
| game especially led the board to conclude
that no emblems should be granted for
| last falls work. The board desires to
uphold the standard of the emblems and
keep them as highly thought Of as they
are at present.
DR.. Hollister, former athletic coach for
Northwestern, does not expect to accept
1.-THE offer of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA to go there and coach the baseball
team the coming season and others. Dr.
| Hollfster's drug store. at the corner Of
| Lincoln and Fullerton avenues, was burned
last Wednesday. He had made plans to
open q. dispensary at Caybourn and Full
lerton avenues when he received the offer
from the east.
IF they offer a sufficient inducement
I win co.: said he to-day. 'Still. how
over, doubt very much if they will come
up to the terms I want. have planned
this dispensary and think I had better
drop athletics altogether in the way Of
coaching teams. !"

those connected with the university. Nc

great interest in the fortunes of the Wis

Pat O'Dea, widely known as the kicking
| fullback of the Wisconsin football team
| and coach of the Missouri tigers, was
| married at st. Louis to Miss Agnes Nc
! Cornell. The wedding was set for Feb.
| "a. but it was decided to hasten it,, as the
bride became i'll and was threatened with
nervous prostration.
The bride was just able to sit up during
| the hurried ceremony. The bride is the
daughter of Luther w. Mcconnell Of Chi
cago and a niece of Anthony H. Blais
dell of Milwaukee, at whose house the
| ceremony was performed.
Some unofficial correspondence has
been exchanged between Oxford and
! Cambridge universities and Harvard and
| Yale, indicating al willingness on the part
| of American Universities to challenge the
| Englshmen to an athletic meeting. No
| challenge however, has been received,
and it is doubtful if the English uni
versities could accept. Their reason for
nonacceptance would be entirely a finan-
| cial one, as acceptance would inyolve a
return challenge in 1904, and the English
universities have no funds to defray the
vost Of a visit to the United States.
Their last trip to America was only
carried through by insuring against loss at
| Lloyds. It is unlikely that they could re-
peat this operation, as Lloyds lost more
| than s., 500 on the previous occasion.
