TO WRESTLE BY ROUNDS
plestina and Freberg Matched under
 New Plan

Chicago, Feb. 3-Heavyweight wrestlers will be given their first op- portunity to wrestle by rounds here on February IA when Marin Plestlna and John Freberg meet in 15 round enpa cement, The recent kilonis- Myers match in which Myers successfully de- tended hs claim to the middleweight championship was the first held nnoer the new commission rules and was proclaimed success by fans ana sportwriters. Many followers said however they doubted whether wrest- ling by rounds would prove success in the case of heavyweights who, un- der the old methods, often remained locked for a long period of time and were not so active as the less we1ghty exponents of the sport.

So far Northwestern Wisconsin and the Uni vcrsity of Chicago are absolutely clean" but Coach Stagg is conducting T private investigation regarding Chicago athletes.
 Grover Hoover, coach of the Tay- lorville professional football team, has made sensational disclosures of the grip professional athletich have on the throat of Western sport. He has disclosed new evidence against promi- nent Big Ten conference athletes, and exposed the common proselyting prac- tiec employed by university alumni to attract star high school athletes
 T am tired of being questioned by the press and pointed at by the pub lic," said Hoover, former star athlete at Christian Brothers College in St. Louis. .Now there are few ques- tions would like to ask coaches and athletic directors in the Middle West.
 why have not Gordon Locke, full back, and Aubrey Devine, quarter back, All American football stars of the championship Iowa team, been protested by Illinois? Because Hi nois athletes have played professional baseball against them and would also be caught if they squealed. Can Locke clear himself of his pro base ball record at Garden City?
 Why has there been no protest over Wisconsin football stars who are professional ball players

 Aubrey Devine, all America quar- terback and member of the Iowa football team, and Gordon Locke. fullback on the same team, in Des Moines have fatly denied that they had played in professional game.

 According to dispatches received here the Carlnville enthusiasts were rather amused at reading the latest questions flung at Big Ten coaches by Hoover, which insinuate that Devine and Locke and an unnamed Wiscon- sin man were professional footbali and baseball players. and that Illinois had failed to protest them because Illinois stars might have been in yolved in disclosures.

IRISH REBELSQUlT
VALERA GETS AWAY

DUBLIN, July 5.-The Irish rebels
surrendered their last stronghold to the
Free State troops at clock this eve
ming. Only six insurgents were IN the
Sackville street fortress when they put
up the white flag, thus ending civil
war that started in Dublin u week ago.
Eamonn de Valera, former president
of the ''Irish republic' was not with
the rebels when the surrender came. lis
whereabouts We're not known but it
was believed he had made his escape
earlier in the day.
Rory O'Connor, who started the re-
bellion, is a prisoner.
Surrender of the rebels came after
the Free State troops had battered posi-
tion after position with machine guns
and Is pound shells.
Surrender came when flames had al
most completely consumed the strong
hold, exposing the little band of six de-
tenders.
Free State artillery tossed IS pound
shells into the smoking ruins whence
the rebel fire came, but the effort to
dislodge the remaining extremists was
half hearted. Collins men were sick
of bloodshed and the killing of fellow
lrishmen.

HOOPER DENIES
BOARD SCHEME TO
FORCE OPEN SHOP
United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, July 5.-Denial that the
U. S. railroad labor board was "impli-
Gated in a drive by financial interests
to bring about the open shop, was made
today by Ben w. Hooper, chairman of
the board.
Hooper, in letter to Bert NJ. Jewell,
union chief, said that such claim was
q "grave injustice. -
"The board has often restrained eff
forts of employers to infringe on the
rights and privilege of the men, Hoop
er said, "but we cannot agree with
them in every contention.''
With the burning of 2,7OO envelopes
containing strike orders to maintenance
of way workers, danger that 100000
additional railroad workers would join
the shopmen s walkout, was passed.
Peace between the maintenance men
and the railroads came after an all-day
session between union leaders and mem
bers of the United States railroad
labor board. The board promised to re-
consider the $50OO0,000 wage cut eff
fective July /. If the board finds that
the cost of living has gone up instead
of down since the last government
figures were issued and a new wage
scale is worked out, it will be retro
active to July !.
Other Unions Abandon Strike
The clerks have negotiated wage
agreements with more than a score of
roads and it is considered unlikely that
they will strike. Although President
Timothy Healy of the stationary fire
men and oilers told the 5000 members
of their organization had ga perfect
right to strike,'' few locals responded
by a walkout.
The $4,000 signal men, led by d. w.
Helt, have followed the lead of the
maintenance men up until this time
and it is believed they will continue to
abide by the decisions of the more
powerful union.

5. HARDING DECLARES
United Press Leased Wire

MARION, Ohio, July 5.-President
Harding has made it plain that strict
enforcement af the prohibition amend
ment and Volstcad law is the official
position of his administration.
He has also rather clearly indicated
that Secretary of War Weeks assertion
that the Volstead law is the cause of
much unrest in the country today and
his advocacy of its modification does
not represent the attitude of the adj
ministratiOn.
These were the,views of those close to
the president today, following the ac-
tion of the president, who went out of
his way somewhat to state his official
position, towards prohibition.
The view here was that the president
felt it necessary to make the dry dec
laration because of reports of the grow
ing impression in strong prohibition
states of the midwest that the admins
tration was not "bone dry These
reports are said to have sprung up fol
lowing the Weeks speech and the ruling

retary Weeks, because the president be-
lieves cabinet officers should be allow

minority of the people are opposed to
prohibition, he desired to set the coun-
try right as to the administration s
