Columbia Will
Investigate
ROckne
Mx-up
By DAVIS ]. WALSH

AnteRnaClOnal News B9rVhce HpOHA AAt~a
NEW YORK, Dec. IA show
down of cold hands was expected
to be made today on the Rockne
episode when Columbia Univer-
sity's committee on athletics will
hold general meeting for the
purpose of instituting a rigid in.
vestigation of the facts concerning
Columbia's premature, and SEEM
ingly unauthorized announcement
that Knute Rockne would coach
it's football team for the next
three years.
1t was indicated that the COM
mittee would tender Rockne a
public apology in the event that
it was found that he was justi-
fled in declaring he was made a
victim of "bad faith" by James
R. Knapp, chairman Of the foot
ball committee.
Just a young man who con-
siders himself somewhat Of city
s-icker," was Rockne's parting shot
at Knapp as he boarded train
for South Bend, Ind, last night.
1t was Rockne's claim that. after
signing three-year agreement
with Columbia, contingent upon
his getting a release from Notre
Dame, he wrote to Knapp to de,
clare the entire deal dead because
of his inability to obtain Notre
DANES sanction to the move.
Knapp, he said, countered by max.
ing public announcement to the
effect that Rockne was coming to
Columbia on a three-year contract
The Columbia committee on ath-
letics Ii combination of youth
and experience. several Of its
members having been prominently
identified with the 1925 football
team. The latter are George
PeaGe, prominently mentioned
for the all American quarterback
post, and Ray Wagner, captain
and star end. Alfred Mannheim,
captain Of the basketball team,

also is q member Of the COM
nittee.
That the views Of Nicholas
Murray Butler, internationally
famous president of the university.
may be reflected by the committees
action was indicated by the fact
that Frank d. Fackenthal. secretary
of the university, also Ia on the
committee. The remaining men,
bers are Charles Halstead Mapes,
prominent in intercollegiate ath-
Ietics; r.. L. Won Bernuth, Gale Fl.
Carter, DIR. Edward r. Elliott and
Edward Grant, registrar Of the uni.
versity.
Whether Knapp would be called
upon to appear before the COM
mittee and explain his side of the
controversy was not made known.
There are rumors, however, that If
his action in the Rockne case was
not sustained by the committee,
he would tender his resignation as
chairman Of the football committee,
From the several conflicting
statements issued by Rockne and
Knapp, the following facts are
evident:
That, on December 1, ROckne
signed three-year agreement
with Columbia with the under
standing that il was only valid
i'm the event that he could get
his release from NOtre Dame.
That either he failed in this OBJ

jective and so notified Knapp,
or he had not yet preached the
matter at NOtre Dame when
Knapp made premature announce
ment of the contract.
That following lengthy meeting
at Knapp's office on Saturday at
which harsh words were uttered
Rockne and Knapp issued separate
statements, the latter releasing the
coach from his Columbia contract
and Roc4xne reviewing the entire
situation and charging Knapp with
bad faith.
Knapp, on the other hand,
charged that ROckne represented
himself az not ejng under con-
tract with Notre Dame when he
signed the Columbia agreement.
Rockna's reply was to ask why It
was necessary to obtain release
from Notre Dame If no contract
existed.

Brookhart were jubilant over the

that the insurgent senator would in

been challenged, two-thirds of them
being Steck ballots with an arrow
opposite his name.
