Nevertheless the University of
Iowa Will Support One
Year Residence Act
MATERIAL FOR TEAM
BY Now Limitation, Coach Chalmers,
Who Expected Much From New Ma
terial Headed In Direction of the
University, Will Be Confined to
Using Only What He Has On Hand.
Special to rlmes-Republtcan.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. 1.-THE University
Of Iowa will support the one year res
idence act, despite the fact that 1t will
seriously affect the quality of next
years team unless men who have been
in the university and have not appear
ed on the gridiron so far can be induc-
ed to come out as candidates.
1owa's greatest weakness this year
was the lack of weight, and the substi-
tutes at hand at the close Of the season
do not look very promising. There are
great many men In the university
who have never reported for work and
a more determined effort will now be
made to get them out.
Iowa loses two men this year who
can hardly be replaced. Jones and
Griffith. Otherwise the team Will re-
main intact. 1t had been the intention
Of Coach Chalmers next reason to
make every effort to build UP a heavy
line from the new material that was
headed in this direction. The one year
residence rule limits him to what he
has on hand. seriously Gripping the OPP
portunity Of putting out team that
would rival the champions Of 1900.
There is another way in which the
new rule will affect the university.
There are more Of the so-called minor
schools in the state who yearly put out
teams that make exceptional showings
than any other state In the west. It is
believed that next season these colleges
will get the cream Of the high school
athletes and Will be in a position to
seriously dispute the university's claim
to the championship.
