VERGE OF BREAKUP
Four be. Moines High Schools Are
Most Active Opponents Against
Continuing tho State Athletic Meets
at Iowa city-Deeision Expected
This Week.
Special to Times-Rcpublican.

Special to mes-Rcpublican.
Iowa City, Jan. 14.-The high school
athletic association Of the state OF
Iowa is on the verge Of breakup. The
difficulty has arisen over the location
of the annual state meet. In 1904 the
state high school meet was held In
Iowa City for the first time, and it
has been retained here ever since. Pre-
vious to that time the meet had been
changed from place to place. The uni
yersity has managed the affair, paid
all of the expenses and collected
enough more in gate admissions to
turn over a substantial balance to the
state association.
Ever since the meet was held here,
representatives of the other colleges
and universities in the state have
been actively working in an attempt
to have the meet moved from one
school to another. AS far as possible
this work has been secretly done, the
agents of the colleges instigating the
high school representatives to demand
that the location of the meet be chants-
ed The reason for this action is the
belief that the state university has an
unfair chance to induce the high school
students to attend that institution. All
of the, other colleges are willing to
have the meet moved anywhere, pro-
vided that there is a confidential un-
x7o IN, hot will eraf IF In
their turn. Drake University in Des
Moines, Grinnell college at Grinnell.
and the state agricultural college at
Ames have been the active agencies
in the fight.
The four high schools in Des Monies
have been most active in their oppose
ton to the continuance of the meet at
Iowa City. The matter was to have
been decided by the executive COM
mittee Of the association at its meeting
in Des Moines last December, but ow-
ing to the high feeling at that time it
was impossible. It is expected that
they will reach decision this week.
In the event that the meet is left
in Iowa City, it is expected that the
four Des Moines high schools will
withdraw from the state association
and hold a rump meet in Des Moines,
inviting such other Iowa high schools
to compete as care to. That threat
has been made and it is possible that
it will be carried into execution. The
action Of the university authorities in
case the meet is moved from Iowa City
has not been announced. 1t has been
rumored that an invitation meet
would be held under the authority of
the university, but that rumor has not
been confirmed as yet.
