YANKEE VICTORIES
 START CRITICISMS
 AMONG EUROPEANS

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 10.-The Am erican system of athletic training which eliminated in many American victories in tho Antwerp Olympic Games is now being subjected throughout Europe, to a great deal of criticism, favorable and unfavor- able. While, as an example, there are some members of the Dutch Olympic committee who consider Holland should adopt American meth ods in it's universities and athletic clubs, others charge that such long and intensive training makes the athletes professional amateurs.
 At the recent meeting of the com m.ttee, one speaker went so far as to question the amateur standing of the American Navy crew which won the Olympic eight regatta, He said that these future American Navy officers had done nothing during their four years at Annapolis but row. Europeans find it very diff cult to understand that American university men can devote so much time to sports and still find time to study.

PLAN HOLDING WORLDS RAGE
 FOR SCULLINc
Recent Victory of John B. Kelly to be Commemorat-
 ed by Oarsmen of U. s.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.--Local oarsmen have taken the initiative to hold a worlds sculling title race yearly to commemorate the recent victory of John B. Kelly of the Yes per Boat Club ill single souls at the Olympics.
 A petition has been addressed by the Schulykin Navy. an organization of local rowing clubs, to those inter csted in amateur rowing as follows ::
 The recent victory of John B. Kelly, we believe is the only victory ever recorded that may truly be considered q worlds championship in amateur single souls.
 Heretofore, the winner of the diamond souls at the Henley has carried with it the nearest approach to such title, but due to the fact his personal qualifications, may have his entry refused by the Henley stew ards. this event may well be consid- cred as a closed, local or at least an invitation event.
 "In his recent victories, John E. Kelly defeated not only the recent winner of the diamond sculls, but the pick from all the amateur scull- CTS from all the nations of tho world.
 Now, therefore, that this victory may be commemorated for all time that opportunity moy not hencefOrth be lacking for clean amateur scullcrs from all parts of the world to com pete for this noble title, it is pro posed to present a geld cup to be known as the Philadelphia Challenge Cup for the Worlds Championship Amateur Souls, this cup to pass from one champion to the next under terms to be set forth in deed of gift to be drawn up by the committee appointed by tho commodore of the Schuylkill Navy and executed by that committee, representing the in dividual subscribers, a list of whom is to be attached to the dcod of gift. Tho cup is to be the property of the Schuylkill Navy. but to be leld by the champion until, by de feat. default or loss Of amateur standing. it passes to the next cham nion or the Schuylkill Navy pending the appearance of a new champion. The first name to be engraved on this emblem will be that of chompion John B. Kelley, of Philadelphia.

DOUGLAS WINNER IN FIRST GAME OF BASKET
Islanders Down Thane 3 to Superior Team Work
 Condition Responsible.

By a score of 23 to l3 Douglas High School nipped the champion ship aspirations of the Thane bas- ketball team in the bud in the first game of the season played at the Douglas Natatorium last night. Sup erior team work and better condi- ton were responsible for the win by the school boys
 The first half of the game was fairly ragged, with the ball most Of the time in the Thane territory and the Douglas boys attempting many baskets, but securing few. Personal fouls were quite frequent in this half. During the early part of this half the Thane boys were in the lead for the only time during the game when the score stood to 1 The end of the half saw the score 10 to [ in favor of Douglas
 Although trying bravely and at times showing flashes of speed and form the Thane boys in the second half were baffled and overwhelmed by the superior team work of the high school boys.
 For Douglas Brown. the husky center. starred He was responsible for almost half the points for his team and was sure on the baskets. The GallWas boys. Martin as run ming guard and Harold as forward, gave beautiful demonstrations of team work and advanced the ball many times Nelson, the other for ward, did not play his usual game being off on basket throwing. Man ley, playing regularly in this game for the first time broke up most of the plays under his basket.
 On the Thane team there were several stars As yet the team does not coordinate and there was toe much individual playing and Ions dribbles Williams at forward and Furbush, running guard, were the chief point makers for the team. Brettian proved strong offensive player and Flanagan sturdy guard.
 The game of last night proved that Douglas High. champions of last year, will be serious contenders for the championship honors this season and will be hard to beat. The Thane team will also be taken seriously as they have one of the strongest looking teams seen on a local floor in long time and when they get little more practice and become more proficient in team work will make it interesting for any team that can be organized on the Channel
 Something over two hundred peo- pie saw the game and the 'rooters were out in force with their school wells.

LET'S MODERN zs OUR CONSTITUTION.

The overwhelming vote in an ag-
ricultural state like Minnesota for
road law which will permit the state
to pave a system Of inter-county
state roads with a $75.OCO,000 state
bond issue plus federal aid and the
vote of the farmers in this state to
hold a convention for the revision Oh
cur own state constitution suggests
that one of the first things to revise
in our constitution is the ridiculous
limitation upon our state debt. Way
back somewhere in the days OF
demonstrating in Iowa when farmers
hauled dressed logs for three days III
a. bob sled so as to trade their meat
for sugar and coffee the constitution
provided that the state debt should
not exceed $3.50. 900 unless authorized
by special vote of the people.
Today Uncle Sam offers us many
millions every year in federal aid Tor
improved roads and our people are
digging up six millions per year Tor
their auto licenses. The time has ar
rived for the state itself to undertake
construction of inter-county ROADS
and before it can be done some pro-
vision must be found for borrowing
money so as to spread out the cost
of twenty year road over the period
of taxpaying years in which the road
will be used.
Illinois has voted a bond issue of SIX
ty millions for the building of sys-
tenn of state roads. Minnesota has
Just voted to issue bonds UP to sew
enty-five millions for system OF
state roads. In many states III which
state roads are built the convicts are
used in state road building gangs
the state contracts for the entire out
put of cement mills, stone quarries
and gravel pits and road materials
are furnished contractors who bid
upon the labor cost only.
In normal times state bonds will
sell at par at about one per cent less
annual interest than county bonds.
This one per cent if set aside for

A Constitutional Convention

Representative James b. Weaver. ]
Statements in the press would
seem to indicate the probability that
the electors have authorized consti-
tutional convention in Iowa. Such
conventions have been held in var
ious states in recent years where
feeling has become general that
notifications of the constitution Of
the state may well be made to ena BILE
the people TO meet new problems
arising out of the gcat changes that
have occurred In the life of the peo-
pie and its increasing complexity. in
the last fifty years. Illinois is now
proceeding with revision.
Section III of Article 10 of the con-
stitution of Iowa requires that the
question of a convention for REVISION
Of the constitution be submitted to
the electors every tenth year after
1870. and in the event the vote is
favorable 1t is made the duty of the
general assembly at it's next session
to provide by law for the election of
the delegates to such convention.
| know of no program for revision
along any definite lines. but as in
dicating few of the possibilities by
way Of change in the constitution
that might be dealt with if there Is u
convention in Iowa, the following
matters may receive consideration:
In the matter OF eminent domain,
or the condemnation of property for
public purposes, several leading
states have by amendment provided
for what is known as excess con-
demnation.' For illustration. under
the Iowa constitution in, the con
domination of land for street pur-
poses no more can be taken than lies
directly within the lines of the pro-
posed street. In New York. Wiscon-
sin and other states additional land
may be taken and resold by the city
or state, Ii such provision had
been in force in Iowa when keosau-
que Way In this city was condemned
all the little triangular corners along
the street would have been taken
and resold at an enormous saving to
the municipality which had to pay
full value for the entire lot but only
got part of it.
sutution of electors" Would doubt
less be remodeled by striking out the
word male"
1t is possible some changes would
be proposed with respect to the num-
Der of senators and representatives
In the general assembly. There is
some sentiment favorable to small
err body.
The provisions of the constitution
with respect to impeachment and the
granting of pardons would doubtless
be subject Of discussion.
The question would arise as to
whether any change should be made
In the provision as to the Indebted
ness OF political or municipal cor
portauons. In this connection doubt
less the advocates of home rule for
cities would be active.
