Rilly the bard who was something Of a dope
eter himself i'll his day, had never heard OF the
gopher football team or affairs, but ne nit
pretty suuarely upon the condition prevailing at
the close of this years play. The trouble start
ed at Chicago with the protesting of Nose strath-
ern. Now come rumors that Iowa will enter
formal protest against the playing OF Fercy
Brush on the ground that he played -FOUR years
at Manchester.
The protest has not been filed and the writer
incines to belief that the rumor Is without foun-
da ton The Brush story first printed in a
vague style in the Chicago Journal OF last frl-
day evening, and there was nothing offered In the
way of substantiation Such publications cause
talk and it is highly probable that the gossip
has crept up to Minneapolis and has been twisted
around and attributed to Iowa. Had there been
much foundation Tor the lcaims A. is t,1'A the
that Northwestern would have protested the
big tackle we'll Strathern, as they were
out to win the game or score on Minnesota at
best.
The Davies Case.
Right on top of the Brush matter comes tho as
sertion that "Hunky'' Davies will enter suit
agains. the Illinois Central railroad for dam
ages amounting to $4,000 for false arerst. This
grows out of the arrest Of Davies upon charge
of disOrderly conduct the full details OF Whlcn
were printed in the Minneapolis papers of Mon
day. Davies, at the time, was In a crowd Of
Minneapolis people, and none have been FOUND
ficers who testified against Davies In police court.
Those who saw the affair at the gate declare
that Davies was assaulted without provocation
on his part. In the police court hearing Dawes
was without witnesses and was mulcted 20. 1t
is rumored that the board Of athletic control OF
the university will take up the matter and stand
back of Davies.
The matter was discussed at the meeting Of the
board held last night, and while no formal &C.
ton was taken it was the sentiment OF those
present that Davies should be supported and
that the university should not allow the matter
to rest. President Evans of the board of con-
troll saw the affair as did Assistant Manager
Redding of the team Both declare Davies blame
less. The arrest and fine caused General sur
prise in Minneapolis, Davies is a quiet, we'll
behaved young man, not given to rowdylike &C.
ton, such was charged in Chicago.
