Students Want Mayser To Remain In Charge

DIES MONIES, Ia., May 2s.- A three-hour conference between Pres ident Pearson, members of the ath letic council and 20 students of Iowa State college had failed at noon to- day to clear up the controversy over the control of athletics at Ames. The students are asking for the retention of Charles W. Mayser as athletic di- rector and the removal of three fac ulty members from the athletic coun- ell. The students charge that the faculty members of the council are not in sympathy with the athletic activities at the institution.
 Mayser's resignation has been unof- ficially requested by the athletic council because of disapproval of his athletic program.
 Early Sunday morning 1,500 stu dents staged a torchlight parade in protest to the activities of President Pearson and the three faculty mem- bers of the athletic council in oppos ing Athletic Director Mayser.

PINKEY MITCHELL TO MEET LEONARD BUT NOT FOR TILE
May 2s.-(By Associated

CHICAGO, May 2S-(By Associated Press .)-Pinkey Mitchell. 22- -year-old product of the amateur ranks, and brother of the famous Ritchie Nit chell. will meet Benny Leonard worlds lightweight champion, in a ten-round match here tomorrow night, with indications that the gate receipts will reach the SS5,000 to s100000 mark. The contest, spon sored by Chicago society for charity will be staged in the Dexter Park Stock Yards district and the scene of international horse and stock shows. All of the s5 seats, the cheapest in the arena, had been sold tonight, leaving only a few of the $1O and SIS seats available.
 The match probably will be the last seen in Chicago for some time, as 1t will be staged to test the Illi- nois anti-prize fight law. As the re- suit of an agreement reached be- tween James c. Mulln, the promoter. and city officials, the bout will be staged without interference, but Pro moter Mullin will be arrested after ward and the validity of the existing law will be tested.
 Leonard's title will not be at stake for the reason that neither he nor the Milwaukee boxer is making the required lightweight figure of 135 pounds. They will enter the ring at catchweights, but both will be under the 14o-pound figure; Leonard prob ably weighing around 13S pounds.
 If Mitchell should knock Benny out he will win a world of prestige, but not the championship. The same condition will prevail if Mitchell should win on foul.
