CITY NEWS.

-Keokuk camp NJ. w. A. No. 622
will hold its regular meeting tonight
at Woodman hall. All members are
requested to be present.
That the tango and other dances
including the fancier steps has served
to affect the success of social dane
ing In Fort Madison is the consensus
of opinion of the promoters Of such
affairs in the city, says the Gem City.
The impairment lies in the abhor-
rance Of some towards the fancier
steps and the fear of others to at
tempt to learn the more modern
dances. Rather than brave the curl
osityi Of the other follows OF the
terpsichorean art in the city, in
attempting the steps Of the fox trot
or the Rouli-Rouli many of the young
quenters at public dances have made
up their minds to stay away.
Fort Madison Gem City: For the
second time in two years Byron +.
Heitzman of this city, student at
the Iowa State solIege at Ames has
scored high in the grain Judging con-
test at the institution. Last year in
the grain judging contest he won the
gold medal for his exhibits over 700
other competitors for the honors and
last week in the corn show at the
college he captured the first prize for
the best ear of corn displayed from
the southern part OF the county. The
honor was eagerly sought for and the
rivalry is evidenced in the fact that
there were 81 students who were ex-
hibftors with total of ITS samples

judge from the number of players who
openly violate the rule and the num-
Der of captains who advocate it, the
majority would probably be quite as
large. What will probably do more
than anything else to clear up the sit
uat1on viii be the conference called
for the last week in December by the
intercollegiate Association of Amateur
Athletes of America. This association
although devoted primarily to track
and field athletics, has been the only
BODY IN the east with initiative
enough to start something to clear up
the muddle that has existed for years.

do is not to change it's own amateur

BASEBALL IN DANGER
AS COLLEGE SPORT
A. A. U. May Help to Solve Summer
Ball Problem.

Baseball is in danger as a college
sport. The suggestion has been seri-
ouSly made in the west as we'll as in
the east that if some solution cannot
be found for the evils of summer
baseball that is, if students cannot be
depended upon to be honest about
their participation in it, it would be
better to abolish it altogether.
That was the subject of good
many heated arguments at the recent
Big Nine" conference in the middle
west and intercollegiate athletic au-
thorities in the east nave advocated
the same thing.
If the solution of the difficulty were
put to a vote of the students them
selves they would probably give an
overwhelming majority in favor of re-
tanning the game, and permitting
members of their teams to do openly
what many of them now do slyly--
play with montague teams either for
their summer board and lodging or for
a small salary. At several western uni
versities the matter was put to a vote
recently and the advocates of summer
ball won by a majority of nearly 20
to l.
No such opportunity for an express
sion of opinion has been given in the
