The ease with which Herman dis
posed Of Hanlon should make him a.

thru he will probably be matched with
McGovern.
The talk of McGovern being matched
has again been revived, and this time

way off, however, and many things

if it were true, such battle would not

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The season of
funks is on at the University of Chi
cago. Following close the report that
Jimmy Lightbody had received a
"con,'' DR.. Raycroft has announced
that the reports of the deans had abso-
lutely ruined the chances of the aquatic
teams for the season, as well as struck
hard the basketball team Is chances.
DIR. Raycroft refused to name the
athletes who had fallen under the ban,
but said that the list included several
of the most prominent athletes in the
University of Chicago.
Chicago S athletic board refused to
take any notice of the report from the
Michigan student daily to the effect
that Jesse Donovan, the young athlete
from Goshen, had played for pay with
the Angola team last summer. Dono-
van denied he had ever played fol-
money and added that at least three OF
the most prominent Michigan athletes
had played with him all summer. Mich
igan's crack pitcher is said to have
been a teammate with Donovan al
summer. 1t is claimed by Donovan s
friends that neither Donovan nor the

the one just past. At present the man
agement expects to schedule but ten
games. Eight of these will be played
on Saturdays and two on Wednesdays.
Dennison and Oberlin will probably be
slated for the midweek games. The
Saturday games have not yet been de-

doubtless be scheduled. Possibly there
may also be game with some univer-
