proper field of athletic competition

City, Ind, elected co-captain of the 1880
eleven last night; Oran Pape, Dubuque

Omaha, and Seward Leeka, Independ-
ence, Mo-, were on the list.
Nelson, Farroh and Leeka are also
regulars on the basket ball team.
The board which met in the after
noon and continued in session until
after midnight, drafted resolution in
Viting the conference to send a COM
mittee to Iowa City within the near flu
tlIre to review the situation for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether essential
justice due these men may not warrant
their reinstatement"
The resolution was IN TACT waiver
of the right of the individual school to
act finally on the eligibility of its ath-
letes, giving to the conference the au-
thority to reverse the eligibility findings
to any member institution.
While yielding this right. the board
again asserted its sovereign jurisdic-
ton" on the selection of the personnel
of the staff and administrative organ
ization at the university, thereby up
holding its right to retain George T.
Bresnahan as track coach despite the
disapproval of the conference.
Dean c. G. Williams said a thorough
investigation would begin at once into
the cases of each Of the ~ suspended
athletes.
The board, in its resolution, placed
the blame for the troubles of the ath-
letes on IAN irregularity of past ath-
letic administration" 1t further stated

night said his retreat from Torreon
after the town had been bombed
by federal airplanes, was to protect
civilians in the important railroad
center from further casualties. Four
men were killed during bombings
there Saturday and Sunday.
That the retreat had a strategic
value was believed here in view of
the territory in which it places the
rebel army. Escalon was changed
little since the battle Of 1912. A
typical sleepy Mexican village on
the railroad from Torreon to Juarez,
its inhabitants are said to be SYM
pathetic to the rebel cause.
