BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO, December 13.- The
University of Iowa's action In
declaring ineligible athletes who
~ benefited by the athletic fund
has frightened its prospect of
early readmisSion to athletic competi-
ton in the Western Conference.
Frederic Woodward. vice president OF
the University of Chicago, and its rep
resentative on the faculty committee,
said that Iowa should be given an early
hearing If it files notice OF another ap-
peal.
Prof. o. F. Long, Northwestern's rep
resentative, said the action had placed
Iowa in "a favorable light" and he in
dicated he anticipated the committee
would visit Iowa City soon to review the
situation.
Prof. Ralph Aigler of Michigan would
not comment directly, but indicated
that a renewal of Iowa's plea would be
favorably received by the committee
Mr.. Aigler mentioned the possibility Of
special meeting to hear Iowa, II the
school decided to petition again.
That Iowa apparently is taking steps
which will clear its standing was as
far as Prof. William Marshall Of Pur-
due would say, but he also indicated a
new petition would be welcomed.
At the annual University of Wisconsin
foot ball banquet last night, Athletic
Director George Little insisted on the
term Big Ten" saying he hoped and
believed that Iowa would be restored
within a reasonable length OF time.

feasible and fair to both Army and

adjustment of their differences and
break "the existing deadlock by bring
ing about compromise satisfactory to
both institutions and the public"
Foot ball relations Of the two service

December ia split between
Stanford University and the In

teur Athletics of America loomed
here today when the text of reply by
Stanford athletic officials to question
naire of Eastern I. G. 4A officials was
revealed
The QUESTIONABLE was in the form of
vote on a suggestion that two titles
be awarded in the annual I. c. 4-A
meet, one for track and another for
field, or that fewer points be awarded
victors in field events than track win
ners.
Stanford athletic heads said they
took this to mean that the East Is try
ing to legislate the West out OF a
chance to win the meet. Teams from
the Pacific CoaSt-Stanford, California
and Southern California-have won the
meet eight times in the last nine years
on points scored mainly In field events.
The reply sent by Stanford athletic
officials, in part, said: The l. c. A. A.
| A. A. does not need to spoil its cham
pionShip meet in order to get rid of us.
| If the I. c. A. A. A. A. does not want
us as members, we would be glad to

Coach Eddie McNichols five at
Penn won the past two Eastern in
tercollegiate basket ball titles be-
cause of the system Of offense he
designed to break through the mod
ern man-to-man principle of de-
fense. In the orthodox system the
defensive man keeps between the
man he is assigned to and his
basket
McNichol overcame this with his
famous cut-back attack. A player,
say No. /, would break for the goal.
A, the defensive man covering him,
would lead him, keeping between
him and the basket. No. suddenly
reversed near the foul-line and,
after turning. took pass from No
3. AS he did so No. 2 would fash
by in front of him, take short pass
and dribble in for a shot.
You see 3, assigned to No 2,
could not follow because Of be-
ing in his path.
