Meanwhile the air was thick with
rtimors that three other universities
in the famous circuit are slated to
meet the same fate as the Hawkeye
institution. They are named as
Northwestern, Indiana and Purdue,
all Of which are said to be as
guilty" as Iowa in the matter OF
recruiting and subsidizing athletes.
These reports are without confir.
nation, but 1t has been learned from
an authoritative source that the
above named universities have been
the subject of investigation by Big
Ten officials. All three schools are
said to be guilty of proselyting.
just how far Major Grlffith's
disclosures win go In the com
miSsiOner's attempt to pacffy
Iowa students and citizens Of
this wrathful university town,
was a matter Of conjecture to-
day.
According to reports here, the
charges against Purdue and North.
western will be based on alleged
deals involving certain star ath-
letes and the athletic departments of
the universities. The charge against
Indiana is expected to revolve about
Coach Pat Pages $12, ,000-a-year con.
tract, part of which is paid by the
alumni.
Paying of coach by outsiders
is not countenanced by the confer
ence, it was said, and is treated by
that organization under the rules
governing subsidizing, proselyting
and the like.
Paul f. Betting, deposed director
of athletics at Iowa, who is blamed
for the Hawkeyes' lam" with Big
Ten officials, continued as the
pivotal center around which the
storm ragged today.
With feeling against Betting
still running high, police re-
manned on guard around his
beautiful home on the ont
skirts of the city. Betting was
/ away from home most OF yes
| terday, but returned at dusk
last evening to take his family
for a ride into the country.
Following the egg barrage on
the Betting residence Sunday night
| by a group Of indignant students,
police were instructed to be ready
for any emergency and to break up
all suspicious groupings of students.
As soon as Major Griffith arrives
in the city he will be sought 20
Ienlighten university officials as to
the specific charges on which Iowa
was expelled. He will be asked
particularly about the reported
"slush fund" with which it is
charged the university financed"
promising athletes.
Betting, when interviewed at his
home, refused to affirm or deny the
existence of such fund. but implied
that a fund of this kind was main
tanned by Iowa City business men.
He intimated that football players
who were recipients of this money
were required to do trivial chores
such as appearing as ushers in
theaters in order to cover up their
donors

Miami next February First. how

of getting money out of boxing with.

. At is considered bad taste to punch
promoter on the nose until several
days after he pays you off. BY that
! time, you generally are in line for
another pay day. Thus, the Incl.
dent is postponed periodically until
finally the promoter retires-if not
with a comfortable fortune, at least
with contented proboscis. The
boy friend is understood to approve
of this method.
Therefore. he expects to run
fight in Chicago in October. What
fight: he didn't and can't say at this
time. He also is listening to1Mon.

When he runs out his string at

several days after 1t has happened.
Another Dempsey Carey confer
ence took place yesterday after John
had informed waiting world that
