May Protest Nj. q. stars.

Iowa City. Iowa, Oct. ia report
was circulated last evening that the
Iowa authorities would wire Professor
Clark w. Hetherington of the Uni
versity of Missouri claiming that Cap
tain Miller, guard; Anderson, tackle,
and Carothers, guard, all star members
of the University of Missouri team,
were ineligible under the conference
rules. The Iowa officials were silent on
the matter, merely saying that nothing
could be given out. They admitted that
there might be a question on whether
Iowa was playing Missouri under con-
ference, meaning big eight rules, or
the regulations of the Missouri Valley
conference. The claim is made locally
that these players are four-year men,
that is, playing their fourth year as
members of the University of Missouri
team.

The method of Mr.. Ed. Usher. Of

600 people saw the games at the polo

These figures give an idea of the
profits of the New York club for the

grounds the general admission is SO
cent seats. Then there is the extra
25-cent seats for the lower grandstand,
which does not include the money de-
rived from reserved seats and boxes

The visiting club received half of
every 50-cent admission and half of
the 25-cent admissions. Counting all
the extra money" from the grand
stand, the New York clubs share of
the money at the polo grounds was
an average of 80 cents a person. This
would make the clubs earnings at

cities yielded the New York club about
$125,000. This would bring the earn

LOST MUSTAcHE FOR KISS
WHICH HE DIDN'T GET

Berlin, May 29.-The Importance of
the mustache question in Germany
will shortly be manifested in a trial in
the Rhine province. in which a wealthy
silk manufacturer is suing an actress
for damage in connection with the loss
of his luxuriant facial adornment. The
manufacturer made the acquaintance
of the actress, a young and beautiful
comedy artist, socially. Meeting her
al dinner party a few weeks later,
he extracted from her a promise to
give him a kiss. She said that she
" Culd if he promised to shave off his
mustache. That was a heavy forfeit,
as his mustache was locally famous
and gave it's possessor a reputation for
masculine beauty, of which he was
exceedingly proud. Eventually he
brought himself to face the barber and
had his mustache shaved off. He in
formed the actress that her condition
had been fulfilled, and that he was
ready for the kiss, but to his conster-
ration he was notified that the lady
lad in the meantime become engaged
and could not therefore keep the bar
gain. The disappointed cavalier has
taken his case to court, and demands
that the actress either be compelled to
kiss him or be ordered to pay 1875 for
breach of contract.
