showed unmistakable signs Of rounding
into form in the semi-finals OF the mix
ed doubles yesterday, when he and
Eileen Bennett of England gained the
right to meet Helen Willis and Frank
Hunter in the finals.
On Sunday, when Cochet and Jacques
Brugnon were beaten by Rene Lacoste
and Jean Borotra in the finals of the
mems doubles, Cochet appeared unable
to execute shots which second-rate
thing went wrong. Cochet's lapse con-
tinued in the singles, when he was
forced to the limit to defeat Nick
Sahar, a mediocre competitor from
Egypt, Ga, Ga, 6-3. Cochet him
self was unable to explain his failure
to get the ball over the net or keep 1t
inside the courts.

The latter, aware Of Cochet's difficulties
earlier in the tournament, kept shoot

cunning had returned and Lacoste' 8
strategy went all awry in consequence.
Americans figured heavily in today's
schedule. Miss Wills and Hunter faced

athletic affairs-"a final attempt by the
Big Ten to stem the tide Of profess
sionalism, which has tended in recent
years to wreck college athletics"
THE question now has become
whether the Big Ten shall come out
the recruiting practice, as employed in
the big base ball leagues. or whether
we shall stick to our amateur status"
Maj. Griffith said.
THE Big Ten has decided to stick to
its amateur code and has decided that
it will have no athletic dealings with
any colleges or universities not equally
strict in their amateurism."
Alumni Cause Trouble.
"The old grad-the school-spirited
alumnus-is the chief offender in the
practice Of recruiting athletic talent for
schools. The problem now has become
whether this type of alien is to become
the sovereign ruler of college athletics
or whether supreme authority shall rest
with the proper school heads.
In many institutions alumni control
the entire athletic administration. If
the president stands in the way, 1t is
understood the alumni can resort to
politicians who will ask the State Leg
islature for the college presidents head !;
and the president knows that the Leg
islature would rather serve his head to
the influential alumni business men
than, as a political body, take any in
terest in defense Of the ideals of pure
college athletics.
I'VE are going to try to stop this
procedure. We are going to try to save
the game
Last December, Mai. Grifith said,
the foot ball coaches and athletic di-
rectors Of the ten universities were ask
ed to vote on the question of whether
in their opinion the game was getting
worse, because of recruiting and SINH
lar practices, or better. The vote was
10 to l, that conditions were worse.
Maj. Grifith said he would persist
in refusing to divulge the details lead
ing to the Iowa custer, nor would he
divulge the names of any players in
volved. The Big Ten, he said, de-
cided 1t is "a family affair.""
Maj. Grif1th left early today for Iowa
City in response to a request by Uni
versity of Iowa officials that he en-
tighten them as to the reason for
the custer. He said he was going
mot as q prosecutor, nor as a defender"

explanation" he said, "but may not"

Does this action against Iowa imply
that in no other institution belonging
to the Big Ten do alumni interest
themselves in securing foot ball mate
rial in one way or another? Presumably
1t does. Or if not that, it certainly
implies that athletes receive no f1nan-
cial assistance from alumni. In any
case the condition Is a highly credit
able one. Upon second thought the
writer recalls complaint of Chicago
early last Fall that certain alumni
OF a certain conference institution-not
Iowa. 1t might be said-had shunted
foot ball players committed to the mid
way institution in quite another direc-
ton. And certain members of the Big
Ten do not meet in foot ball because Of
objections to alleged methods of secur-
ing foot ball material. Have Iowa
alumni been SO eager in their quest
for foot ball playing students as to
commit indiscretions so bold. they
could not be overlooked? Or Is 1t
simply that the alumni have been more
careless than the alumni of other COL
legeS? Developments will be followed
with wide interest.
Iowa's rise to foot ball prominence
IN the Big Ten came in 1921. when
under the coaching Of Howard Jones,
who went to Iowa City in 1916, the
Hawkeyes won their first conference
championship in 81 years. In 1922
Iowa tied with Michigan for the title
and won a resounding intersectional
victory over Yale. Next year the Hawk
eyes finished In fifth place, Howard
Jones went to Southern California and
Burt Ingwersen replaced him. The
team went through a fine season, beat
ing Michigan, Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, tying Ohio State and losing only
to Illinois.
In 1925, 1926 and 1927 the Hawkeyes
were disappointing, but last season they
had a corking eleven, which defeated
Chicago Minnesota and Ohio State,
losing to Wisconsin and Michigan. OBJ
viously Iowa was on her way upward,
and the prospects are that next Fall
will see splendid eleven at Iowa City
assuming, Of course, the charges upon
which her expulsion from the Big Ten
was based are not well founded, and
that several outstanding athletes are
not compelled to walk the plank in the
interest of continued association with
her conference sisters.
A complication in the situation Is
that Iowa Is building a new stadium,
which, were she isolated. might prove

TRACY FAMILY FIND
GOLD IN TURKEY

Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Hockenhulls had
the experience of finding gold in the
crop of their Thanksgiving turkey.
An investigation was made and the
butcher stated that the turkey was
raised on the Meudeking farm. Three
pieces of gold were taken to the jew
eler and was found to be gold. A fur
ther examination was made and it
was found to be gold filling from
teeth that somebody lost, but the 9th
er two pieces were so transfgured
that no definite name could be given.
Hence the mystery remains unsolved.
This has been the second time that
gold has been discovered in that vi
cinity, only last year a goose was
purchased in the same shop and a
large piece of gold was found in it.
A small piece of pearl was also found
in the turkey.
