IOWA BUILDING
DEFENSIVE PLAYS
Coaches Have no Line on North
western Plays-Hawkeye Squad
Expect Great Battle.

IOWA CITY. Nov. Iowa will de
vote the present week to building up
offensive team play.
The return of the Hawkeyes to
the home lot has found the team
ready and eager for work. The big
score which Minnesota piled up
against Jones men has not disheart-
ened the players nor the coaches.
All have a feeling that the best
which they had and gave was not
enough to stop the progress of the
mighty Gophers and that it will be a
superhuman team, indeed, which will
be able to stop the Swedes this sea-
son.
Last Saturday, since it was not ex-
pected that Northwestern would have
any trouble winning from Drake,
Hawkeye scouts were not on hand to
view the encounter. Consequently
Iowa is unable to practice defensive
tactics this week against the Purple
attack. Instead, Jones is building up
new plays with which to fool the
Methodists.
1t is a sure thing that if North.
western scouts attempted to get
line on Iowa at Minneapolis they
were sorely disappointed, for the
Hawkeyes did not even have chance
to show what they had.
It now seems probable that kriz,
the Iowa right tackle, who was In
jured in the Gopher game. will not
be out again this season. Kriz is
captain of the university gym team.
and If he Is to do work this winter
with the apparatus he will have to
care for his wrenched knee.
Iowa does not look forward to the
game without concern.
and it is confidently expected that the
Purple will give the Old Gold this
year one Of the hardest games in the
history OF the two schools. Last year
Iowa defeated Northwestern by scor-
ing three field goals against the
rung UP by the Evanston
ians This season both e1evens are
stronger than last. If the Hawkeyes
are able to defeat Northwestern the
Old Gold eleven will be able to face
the Ames game with considerable
confidence. The showing which
Ames may make against Nebraska
next Saturday will also be of great
interest in Iowa City.

Head Of National Commission to

Says.
ANSWER TO JOHNSON
Ban Demands That Hermann Be Dis.

Makeup Be
Changed.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. a.
Garry Hermann, president of the
Cincinnati Reds. would resign us
chapman of the national commission
rather than precipitate a baseball
war if proof IS brought that change
Is desired, John X. Tener, president
of the National league predicted to-
day in a statement to the United
Press. His statement was in answer
to Ban Johnson's declaration in Chi
cagO yesterday that Hermann must
go.
The same situation existed last
year" Tener declared Hermann
has been chairman of the national
commission for more than ten years.
He was interested in the Cincinnati
club at the time chosen to head that
better man can be found for the posi-
ton today.
The position Is an extremely I'M
portant one. The national commits
sion is the court of last resort in
the baseball world and its chairman
is Judge. His decision is final Herr
mann never has given an unjust de-
cision In his long encumbency. l do
not believe change Is actually de-
sired, but If Hermann realizes that
it is desired he no doubt would step
down rather than be responsible for
splitting baseball and precipitating
war"
Johnson declared the new commits
sion will be composed Of two major
league presidents and a disintertsted
person not affiliated in any way with
the American or National league.
Tener declined to discuss the
charge that, the National league has
too much power nor would he COM
ment on the periodical stories that
he is about to be deposed as pilot
of the National league.

New Management Takes

HAS BEEN LONG ON JOB
Tex Richard and Samuel McCraeken
to Have Charge OF Famous

Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. Nov. Jimmy John
ston, who has had so much to do with
boxing bouts at Madison Square gar
den that his name has come to be a
synonym for the big enclosure. is just
about ready to take his seat On the
creased skids. Some time today Ed
ward E. Mccall, who is receiver for
the garden, expects to come to terms
with Tex Rickerd and Samuel Nc
Crocken. promoters extraordinary and
these two will come into active charge
of all bouts at the garden.
Mccall has announced he is going
to depose Johnston as matchmaker
for the show corporation. lesees of the
garden athletic club and it is all be-
cause Jimmy didn't want to make an ac-
counting to Mccall. Also Mccall is
displeased because Johnston didn't
go through with the Moha-Weinert
bout which caused the boxing commits
sion to order suspension OF the gar
den shows and to fine the garden
$4,000.

Will Stage Old Bout.

McCracken and Richard when they
sign the papers are going to inherit
the Moha-Weinert affair whether they
want it Or not and it will be the first
bout to be staged in the garden. Rick
ard and McCracken are understood
to have promised that they will stage
this match and some say they even
have agreed to pay part of the fine as
sessed against the garden A. G.
Before Richard and McCracken can
stage their bouts they will have to go
through the motions of organizing an
athletic club and will have to apply
for license at the boxing commission.
Jimmy Johnston is apt to make fuss
when this time arrives, as it is under
stood his contract for the conduct of
garden bouts has another year to run.
He is now in disfavor with the box
ing commission because he failed to
show up at meeting of the commits
sion in response to a subpoena

McCracken and Richard have been
associated for many years in various
ventures. among them being the mon
ster affair at Reno in 1910, when John
son won the heavyweight champion
ship from James ]. Jeffries.
Richard and McCracken startled the
pugilistic world by offering purse
OF SOL 900 for this bout and coming
out Of it with a huge profit.
1t was Richard who staged the bout
at Goldfeld. New. between Joe CAM
and Battling Nelson, offering a purse
that in those days. was considered
ridiculous The fight attracted an
enormous crowd and Richard was a
big winner His last effort was the
Willard Moran bout in which he was
associated with McCracken and which
Melted him a neat profit.
Richards long record of promoting
bouts shows not one unsuccessful af-
fair
Richard Is said TO be contemplating
a match between Charley Weinert, To-
cal heavyweight and Jess Willard for
the heavyweight championship.
Johnston had been trying to arrange
a go between Frank Moran and Fred
Fulton but this bout Is now considered
definitely off. Ike Dorgan, manager
of Moran. has wired terms for such a
bout to Harry Sherman Of st. Paul and
an attempt is being made to stage 1t
on Thanksgiving day.

Sucks Him In

Carlisle, Pa, July 27-Fourteen-

boys of the same age AROUND the
John Sheaffer mill at Creason, Tues
day afternoon, secreted himself in "a
1000 O-bushel bin of corn which, while
the lad was hidden, was drawn upon
for shipment.
The drain, sucked the young man
into the mass of grain and ultimately
his dying struggles attracted the at
tention of mill hands engaged in
handling the corn.
Suspicious were aroused, and, the
rescuers were compelled to tear away
the lower part of the bin, which en-,
abled them to find Kerns' body. The
lad was dead when found, and resusci'
tating methods were unavailing.
Miller Sheaffer had frequently warn.
ed the boys of the neighborhood OF
the danger lurking in the mill.
