Iowa State College in it's big games this
season failed to keep his college work
up to standard That was the sig

This situation at Ames is not an ac-

make athletics serve that purpose. The

register of the express company was

Employees Of the freight officers here
were called to the stand to answer
questions regarding entries made In the

liquor.
While the state maintained that the
railroads can be entoined from deliv-

claimed the state Is not empowered to
say how the railroads shall deliver 1t.
The railroads make this claim under
the provisions of the Webb-kenyon
law which they claim restricts a state
to prohibiting the entry Of liquor into
it's borders for use in violation of its
laws They claim the state has no
right to specify the manner of delivery
of interstate shipments Of liquor.
