Amer, March "a The Iowa State
college basketball squad has elected
Harry Hansell, guard. captain Of the
1914 five. The election Of Hansell
brings out remarkable coincidence
which is hinged about the whirlwind
Ottumwa high school five that con-
sistently carried off state high school
championships successfully in 1908,
1909 and 1910. Hansell put up bril-
liant, sometimes spectacular defensive
game in all the contests on the
Cyclone floor. He displayed superior
ability to hold down his man at all
times and very seldom did he give his
man opportunity to endanger the goal
or to pass the sphere anywhere>on the
floor.
Coach Stiehm of Nebraska told
Coach Williams. after the final game
of the Cornhusker series. that in his
estimation there was not a man in
the Missouri valley conference who
could beat Hansell to guards posi-
tion on the all-Missouri valley team.

WILL NOT COMPROMISE SUITS


Washington. July 24.-Secretary
Lane of the interior department an
nounced there would be no compro-
mise OF suits brought by the govern
ment against private individuals for
the fraudulent entry and taking of
government lands.
The suits will be fought out on their
merits as matter Of principle. In a
letter to Clay Tallman, commissioner
OF the general land office, the secretary
gave the following reasons:
Such compromises necessarily In
volve reputation In some part OF
the government claim.
This Office is required to set itself
up In the place OF the courts as to
both law and facts.
The policy OF compromising cases
leads to the bringing Of cases which
should never have been brought, for
the officials will be less regardful OF
their facts where there Is likelihood
that the case will never be fought out
upon its merits"
