Some few months ago the Franklin
Dairy in Seattle, Wash, was founded,
and it has already won a gold medal
for its products. The dairy is inter-

reason of the fact that all the owners
and all the employees are Swedes. The
president of the company is George
T. Lindgren, and with him are as

far the dairy is being managed in
accordance with the best results of
the experience of dairies in both Swe-
den and the United States.

PROBE IS SOUGHT
Former Head of Alumni Body
Asks Board of Education
to Investigate.

By the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO, December 10.-The
4 Western Conference faculty
committee on athletics has de-
~ cided Iowa is athletically out of
the Big Ten January /, but the
controversy has not died.
Iowa, seeking to establish athletic re-
Iations with schools outside the Big Ten,
faces the possibility of an alumni revolt
against the administration of the school
Superior Court Judge NJ. l.. Mckinley
of Chicago, a former head of the Iowa
Alumni Association, has asked that the
Iowa State Board of Education mvestl-
gate not only the department OF ath-
ietics. but causes of "dissension and dis
cord that has existed in departments OF
the university other than athletic.
Judge McKinleys charges were aimed
at President Walter Jessup of the Uni
versity of Iowa, Who he said, had
worked against the alumni, whose only
desire. he said, was to offer assistance IN
Iowas athletic troubles.
The question of a desire "for larger
gate receipts" as a factor IN serving
athletic relations with Iowa was denied
by two Western Conference athletic
men Fielding H. Yost, athletic director
at the University of Michigan, SAID the
loss of Iowa from the Michigan loot oall
schedule next season WOulu hlColA A!AoAi
cial loss. He said the game to have
been played at Iowa City would have
outdrawn anything Michigan VIII De
able to arrange for the open date.
Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite OF Wis
consin told a group at Toledo that ne
was sorry to lose Iowa from his sched-
ule. He said he had always enjoyed
competition with Iowa. and lauded
Burt Ingwersen, Iowa's foot ball coach.
1t is possible that Iowa may regain
it's standing in the. Big Ten before
the 1880 foot ball season arrives. The
conference committee invited Iowa to
return as soon as certain questions
could satisfactorily be answered. In
its resolution denying the Iowa petit
ton the committee stated: ut is the
earnest hope of the conference that
Iowa may find itself in a position in
the near future to renew its petition.
Iowa officials were to meet today
to determine it's policy-whether it
shall strike out as a free lance, with
out intention of seeking reinstatement,
or if it shall plan to renew its petition
as invited by the conference COM
1ittee.

NHE list OF important games this
Fall shows striking percentage
decided by failure to convert
i the extra point after touch
down." The Notre Dame South
ern California game was a case in
point. It is not the first in this inter-
sectional series to be so decided. other
important games have been won and
lost this way this season.
Brown defeated Princeton, Is to IL;
Fordham defeated Boston College, to
s; Detroit won from Georgetown, IA to
ID; Harvard lost to Michigan, 12'to IA;
Ohio State won from Iowa, to 6;
Michigan was the victor over Mime
sofa, z to 6, while the loser in that bat
tic won from Wisconsin, IS to IL.
In every one of these games, success
or failure in converting the extra point
was the margin between victory and
defeat. One of the best illustrations of
the hardShips of this system Is to be
found in the Princeton-Brown contest.
Princeton scored four touchdowns, two
Of which were taken away by officials
who detected Princeton in violations OF
the rules. On the remaining two she
failed to convert the extra point.
Brown scored two touchdowns and con-
verted one extra point. She was thereby
the winner Of the game.
Tie Was JUSTIFIED.
In sharp contradistinction to this was
a game played last year in which
Princeton figured. When the Tigers
met Ohio State, two very powerful
teams, evenly matched, fought each
other ali over the field. Each scored a
touchdown and no extra points were
made. The game was tie, and there
can be no doubt that 1t was the fairest
result. A victory for either eleven by
conversion Of the extra point would
have been a fragrant injustice to the
defeated team.
This being the case, it seems that
the rules committee, which has so solicit
tously shielded a team from the mis-
takes of an individual in the. case OF
the fumble-when 1t strikes the ground
should, to be consistent, amend the
rules to the extent of abolishing the
try-for-point after touchdown, not to
mention making forward pass dead
at the point Of interception.
TouchdOwns Should Decide.
After all, the purpose of a foot ball
game is to decide which of two teams
Is the best over four periods of play
And If tive teams have scored an equal
number of touchdowns, 1t seems only
fair to rule that they have earned a tie
and not a victory or defeat by the fall
ure of one man to kick goal, or Of a
team to score second touchdown from
the 2-yard line.
Unfortunately, It will prove very diff
cult to nullify the mistakes of the In
dividuals in foot ball. The great per-
centage Of plays are so designed that
