CHANGES
IN SCHEDULES
ARE EXPECTED

Chicago, Dec. 3.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The annual meeting
of the western conference athletic
directors and coaches in the va
rious college sports opened here
today with formulation of the 1922
schedules being given paramount
consideration.
Few changes are expected in the
football schedules Of the elevens
which finished at the top of the
percentage column last fail Iowa,
the 1921 champion, is seeking
games with the stronger teams, and
former opponents of Minnesota are
talking over the arrangement of
games with the Gophers earlier in
the season
For the last three years Mime
sofa teams have made a showing
which has been disappointing to
their followers.
Illinois, too, had a disastrous sea-
son in 1921, but dates with the
Illini are much sought after be
cause of the strong showing made
by the team in past years as win
ner or runner-up for the confer
ence title.
Chicago and Ohio State, it is in
Dictated, may have virtually the
same schedules as last year AMI
few changes are expected in the
Wisconsin series.
Notre Dame is here looking for
conference games, but no indica-
ton has been made of the teams
they will offer to play.
An Ohio State Wisconsin contest
is still improbable, according to re
ports, as their differences have noi
been Strengthened out.
Iowa hopes to arrange contests
with Chicago and Illinois and still
maintain the schedule so that the
team can go east to play Yale on
Oct. IA.
Chicago has under consideration
the request of Princeton to play
the intersectional game here next
year, d week later than it was
played last season.
A change in wrestling rules,
which makes all matches under the
auspices of the western ~intercolle-
giate gymnastic wrestling and
fencing association, one-falI affairs,
instead of the best two out of three,
was the most important action OF
the association, it vas announced
today.
The championships in the three
divisions of the ASSOCIATION will be
determined March 1918 at the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin.

The truth will prevail. Ever since
Mile. Lenglen, the French tennis
player, defaulted to Mrs. Mallory,
tennis enthusiasts have wondered
what actually allied her.
Mile. Lenglen just naturally quit
when things began breaking badly
on the courts.
charge of Mile, Lenglen's tour, is
charge of Mile Lenglen's tour, is
the authority for that statement. 1t
was given as a result of Mile. Leng-
lens charges against the United
States Lawn Tennis association.
The story as given by Mile. Leng-
len is that the United States assoc
citation urged the French star to
play when she was physically unfit
and that unkind charges had been
made about her because of her fail
ure to play.
Captain Joannis' resignation
from the French association fol-
lowed such charges. Upon his re-
tirement from the organization he
gave out a statement relative to
Mile. Lenglen's playing or rather
failure to play. It is very interest
ing and follows in part:
Mile. Lenglen was perfectly fit
when she started her match with
Mrs. Mallory. She entered the
courts confident of victory. She
only commenced coughing after
losing games.
Mile. Lengien knows how to win
but does not know how to lose
gracefully. She simply preferred
to quit rather than accept defeat.
France never quits"

Rock Island Delegates Enthusiastic
About Prospects Indicated
Yesterday.

DR.. C. ". Mueller and Frank

land at the baseball meeting in
Cedar Rapids yesterday, returned
with hopes high for the formation
of a new league that would include
Rock Island with cities of western
Iowa and possibly Quincy in uli-
nois and Hannibal in Missouri.
Rock Island, Cedar Rapids, Mar
shalltown and Dubuque were the
only cities represented but these
went on record as favoring the
project and efforts will be made to
interest more cities between now
and Dec. Is at which time another
meeting will be held at Cedar
Rapids.
The delegates convened at l
O'Clock at the Montrose hotel. Fred
Wilbur, heading the Marshalltown
representation, which has been ac-
tive in getting the thing started,
named chairman.
The question of what cities could
be interested was discussed at
length, as vas salary and player
and rookie rule. Most of the
business was carried over until the
meeting. At that time ii Is

Cedar Rapids, Dec. with the
conclusion of the successful 1921
football season. prospects for d
team as strong or stronger than
this years aggregation Seem very
bright at Coe college. Only two
men will be lost from the regu-
lar eleven, and this years reserves,
with the help of the strong 1921
freshman team, Should easily fl
the vacant positions.
Captain Bruce West, all-state
tackle, and Whitney Martin. regu-
lar fullback last year, will be miss
ed when time domestic don the

man hard for any team to lose.
but Coe enthusiasts believe his
place will be well flied by his
brother. Kirk West, 190-pound cap
tain and tackle OF this years fresh
man team.
Martin played fullback regular
ly last year, but a bad leg has kept
him out of most of this seasons
games. Strong, a sophomore this
year, has filled his place well, and
Eby will not have to break in 4
new man at the position.
In the backfeId both regular
qu~aTterbacks, Skinner of Cedar
Rapids, and Sutherland of Nashua,
will return next fall, while Brown,
anotheE Cedar Rapids man, AMI
Lester Davis of Marshall will again
compete for the pilot job. Rutgers

freshmen q~uarterbacks who will be
eligible.
Collins. ali-state halfback selec-
ton for three years, Nudge Makee-
yer, Davenport speed merchant, and
Pence, brilliant open field runner
anc drop-kicker, will all be in suits
again next fall, with several good
prospects coming up from the
freshman eleven, in Nappaport and
Buckton, of Cedar Rapids, and Her
sey OF Salt Lake City.
Strong will take care of fullbaclx

substitutes, and the freshman ends,
will provide Eby with a fine assert
ment of wingmen. Rick will cover
his tackle again. while Kirk West
should fill his brothers place.
Both guards. Kline and Lamb,
will be back for more varsity foot
ball, as will Turner, center. A
number of capable line substitu-
tons also return, in Snors, Lewis,
Daniels and King.
The year just completed was one
of the most successful in COe col
lege football history. Defeated by
Ames chiefly through lack of re-
serves. Coach Eby built up a for
mjGable squad that increased in
strength in every game. In the
final contests he faced the inviting
situation of having two backfelds
of high calibre and almost equal
ability from which to select. The
Coe line was a yeTitable wall and
allowed almost no gains through
it. II the Cornell and Knox games
only three first downs were made
by the opposition through the Coe
forT ards.

New York, Dec. 3.-Football pops
up again today for a sort of post
norton.
Penn State. carrying the crown
of the east, plays Washington in
Seattle Washington & J~efferson's
unbeaten eleven goes against the
indicated University OF Detroit
team in Detroit.
Against Washington, Penn State
has nothing to gain and a lot of
prestige to lose. California, who
claims to be the greatest team in
the world, beat Washington II to 3,
and if Penn State fails to score
a hundred points, and they will not
that many, the great team of
Hugo Bezdek will be discounted on
the coast
The announcement that the tour
nament of roses committee had Sc
lected Washington & Jefferson to
represent the east against Califor-
MIA on New Years day caused a
little mirth in the east. We're it
not for the fact that the coast by
its action semi-ofhcialIy crowns
Washington & Jefferson as the best
in the east, the selection would be
worth only passing notice.
Pittsburgh is the only team of
Importance that Greasy" Neal and
his eleven defeated during the past
season. His team went through a
very easy schedule without defeat
and it can't in any way be regard
ed as the champions of the east.
Last year the Ohio State-Califor-
MIA game was regarded as a real
game and it caused a lot of interest
but a Washington & Jefferson game
will get California no credit. 1t
may be a worlds series game for
the coast, but it looks like a set-up
to the east.

Manager Clark Completes Schedule,
Listing Strong Teams Of
Section.
BY r WILLIAMS,

Everything is in readiness for the
Rock Island high school basketball
season. The practice and tryouts
are now in full force in the tour
nament of the first hour classes and
only a few points remain unsoIYed
in the selection of the first string
team.
A schedule of Is games was com
pleted yesterday by Manager J. Il.
Clark and the first game viii be on
Friday night, Dec. %, with East
Moline at Rock Island. This should
be a practice game for the locals
as the East Moliners usually cause
little opposition. After this first
game an idea of the kind of a team
Rock Island will possess this year
may be gained.
One thing is almost certain in
speaking of this years quintet,
Rock Island should have a speedy
team. With the exception Of Al
vine at guard, the two other men
that are in line for regular berths,
Alexenburg and Edwards, possess
but very little beef. Coach kimmeI
is inclined to believe that the To-
Gals this year will be a lightning
aggregation, and they will have 10
be to get any place. On a large
floor with a good referee not much
trouble should be experienced in put
ting up a good game. but on the
other hand, or a small floor against
heavy men, they may not prove of
much worth AS things look now
the only place to be filled will be
the running guard position.
As the tournament which start
ed at the first of the week comes
to a close better basketball is being
displayed. The idea of getting all
the lads out this year has been sue
cessful in every respect as hot COM
petition has prevailed in all SEES
sions. The windup games will be
played about Tuesday night.
The Islanders have some hard
games in store for them on the
schedule. Games with La Sale
Peru and Spring Valley should be
hard fought, as these cities ALWAYS
have strong aggregations. Not CON
sidering these games the ones with
Davenport. Moline, Cambridge and
Geneseo will furnish plenty of OPP
position for the locals. Each school
is expected to put out a quintet
that will easily equal the home lads
if not excel them by a small
margin.

Dec. 23-East Moline at Rock
