State University Airs Its Views
With Regard to Profess

AmEs WRITER 10 ANSWERED
Claim Made That the Motives Of the

Iy Misconstrued in the Matter Of
Protesting Brown-Protest Based
on Desire For Pure Athletics.
Special to T,mes-Republlcan.

Special to Iime9-hepuDllCHDs
Iowa City, April s. The statement
OF the Ames Agricultural College cor
respondents to the effect that there
are two classes of professional college
base ball players In the Iowa colleges
has been received with more or less
laughter by local enthusiasts. Not
only has the motive of Iowa Univer-
sity been entirely misconstrued but the
entire theory Of college sports seems
to have been changed to suit the poll
Icy Of the Ames base ball coaches.
In protesting the playing of Brown,
Iowa in no way overstepped her rights
nor infringed upon the rules or rulings
of the Iowa Intercollegiate Base Ball
Association. The State University has
not desired to appear dictatorial IN
this matter nor has 1t wished to SET
up standards OF purity In athletic
sport that it would not follow itself.
The charge has been gravely made
that the State University team con-
tains men who are as much profession
ais as Hank Brown, who played last
summer with the Des Moines Western
League team. Such charges mean
nothing IL unaccompanied by depend
able facts. II there are such men in
the State University they certainly are
not playing with the consent OF the
athletic authorities. The record Of the
state university in the past certainly
does not lead the observer to believe
that the base ball team is made up of
professionals.
