coaches at their annual conference

Alumni of several schools in the
conference are known to have pro-
tested against the two players,
charging they were ineligible be-
cause they already had played foot

McLain, Iowa's Cherokee Indian

ruled Haskell to be a prepar atory
school. those who protest against
McI,ain point out that Haskell plays
against other colleges Of Importance
and should be classed as college.
Holman attended Iowa State col
lege before entering Ohio State and
several Iowa alumni have protested
to Commissioner John K. Grlffiths
that the Big Ten rule was violated in
his case.
With the Big Ten football sched-
ules virtually completed, most of the
discussion of the coaches promises

Iowa are expected to stand by their
claims that Holman, a star quarter

schedules reveal. Eight important

the ambitious interviewer shot at
Rogers Hornsby when baseball's
highest priced player was tracked
down and interrupted at his chores
on his big farm estate not far from

It may not be necessary to recall
that the man who was fired from st.

and a world series, sent on to New
York and then to Boston, was sold
to the Cubs recently for cash and
players that may have reached the
value Of $25O,0OO or more.
Hornsby is celebrated for quick
decisions and frank answers. When
he has something to say he says it
and he says just what he thinks. He
hasn't been celebrated for a sense Of
humor, however. But he has one.
