IOWA LONE EAGLE
AFTER JANUARY |
Conference May Change Its
Stand if HaWkeyes Con-
form to Demands.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO, June 5.-The Big
Ten, after next January l,
y is likely to become the
- Big Nine" After that
date, unless the conference
changes its stand, Iowa will be
out.
A special investigating COM
mittee after five hours discussion
of the charges against the Uni
verSity of Iowa with representa-
tives of that school voted late yes
terday to let the Iowa custer
stand.
Several hours later word came from
Frankfort. Ind, that the high school
board there had voted to send its
coach, Everett Case, to Chicago tomor-
row to tell what he may know about
Iowa athletes.
Not much has been said about Case.
He is regarded as one OF the best high
school basket ball coaches IN Indiana.
Two Of Cases high school stars went
to Iowa and subsequently played on
Iowa basket ball teams.
Case and Sam Barry, until recently
basket ball coach at Iowa, were friends.
Case, desiring in 1925 to resume his
teachers license, sought credits at
Summer school, and is understood to
have obtained them through attend
ance at the School of Education of
Iowa.
May Reveal HOok-up.
What connection there may have been
between Cases attendance at Iowa and
the subsequent appearance in school
there of two Of his basket ball stars
may be unfolded tomorrow to Maj.

leteS for the Big Ten.
The committee that heard Iowa's plea
for reinstatement yesterday was COM
posed of Prof. James Page of the Uni
verSity OF Minnesota, Prof. Thomas E.
French of Ohio State and Prof. George
A. Goodenough of the University of
Illinois. 1t ruled that Iowa must demon
strate in a practical manner its ability
to stop PROSECUTING and substituting ath-
leteS, and to bring control of its ath-
letic activities under the control of the
faculty.
Iowa will have from now until Janu-
airy /, 1890, to produce concerto evil
dence that 1t has been able to eliminate
the abuses which caused the Big Ten
faculty TO decide that athletic rela-
lions would be severed with the school.
January l, 1880, was set as the date
when the action should become effective.
Iowa Given Time.
Three Iowa representatives, led by
President Walter Jessup, promised to do
everything possible to remove the causes
for the action of the committee.
A statement issued after the meeting
said:
The committees opinion is that it
is premature to grant Iowa's petition.
Time must elapse. This will afford
Iowa an opportunity to demonstrate its
ability to make the resolutions of its
governing body effective and to demon
strate to the conference that it can
correct present abuses"
The Iowa representatives did not
question the justice or propriety of the
faculty committees action, the state
ment added.
During the hearing four questions
were asked Of the Iowa officials:
l. Can Iowa guard effectively the
matter of scholarship eligibility?
2. Can Iowa eliminate the subsidiz-
ing of athletes by funds Of various
kinds and by the use of student notes?
8. Can Iowa restrain alumni activi-
ties and maintain full faculty control?
4. Is the athletic department willing
to disqualify all present athletes who
have received improper financial aid?
The meeting was secret and the ex-
ACT replies W Tie QueSLlOlS were not
divulged However, officials of the school
before the meeting had declared their
determination to do everything possible
to eradicate the abuses referred to in
the first three questions.
In answer to the fourth, E. H. Lauer,
newly appointed director of athletics,
after the meeting, said Iowa would
await detailed charges against individ-
uals by Maj Griffith and would try
each case on its merits. Those athletics
whom it might be proved had been re-
cruited and subsidized would be barred
from intercollegiate competition, he ,
said.
Iowa again may petition for reconsid-
Grafton of the action expelling 1t from
the conference and it is expected that
such a request will be made at the be-
ginning of the Fall semester.
