TEAM ATIOWA STATE
Cyclone Coach Expects His
Wrestling Squad to
Take Title.
AMES, la. Development of the
host Cyclone wrestling team since
the organization of the Big Six Is
predicted by Couch Hugo Otopallk
for hlB Iowa State college grap
plers, training now for the winter
season.
Otopallk considers his prospects
tho brightest in mnuy years and
already haH his eyes glued on tho
Big Six championship which tho
Kansus Aggies won last year
through the only defeat the Cy
clones suffered In dual competi
tion. More than seventy-five men are
reporting regularly for practice.
The competition Is so stiff, Oto
pallk says, that no man, veteran or
sophomore, Is assured of his berth.
The annual all college mat tourna
ment will be run off Friday and
Saturday, at which time the Cy
clone coach will test his men in
competition for the first time this
yeRr.
Lawrence Gibson, of Harris, Big
Six champion In the 118 pound
class, who won all dual matches
except one last year, is hack bid
ding for his old post but is being
forced to a lively pace by rtolan
Liilie, former state high school
champion from Carrol.
In the 126 pound division Dorey
Williams, of Nevada, 1930 confer
ence champion, is back to win a
third letter, but finds Elmer Kr
richson, of Waterloo, also making
a strong bid for the position.
Finding a man to fill the 135
pound berth occupied by Dick Cole
for the past three years is Oto
palik's biggest problem. He may
find a place for Erriehson on his
squad by moviug him up to take
that position.
Walter Thomas, of Tulsa, Okl.,
Is almost assured of his place In
the 145 pound division. Thomas
took second In the Big Six and na
tional collegiate meets last year
and Otopalik accords him a good
chance of winning a berth on the
American Olympic team.
Have Clever Wreslter.
George Martin of Eagle Grove,
has the reputation of being the
cleverest wrestler in the 155 pound
class at Iowa State since the days
Of Ralph Prunty. Martin, a mem
ber of the "B" football team, was
runner up In the conference last
year. William Unsderfer, of Des
Moines, rated on a par with Martin
and Wayne Welty, of Shenandoah,
a veteran, also is back to make
the 155 pound class by far the
strongest on the team. In addi
tion to these three men, Morland
Paulson, Barrett, Brown, Frevert,
and Perry are considered strong
contenders.
In the 165-pound class any of
the above men could be used as
well as Robert Hess, of Cresco,
runner up last year in the Big
Six and national collegiate meets.
At present it appears that Hess
will again wrestle in the 175 pound
weight in meets out side of the
conference since the Big Six voted
to eliminate that division. It is
probable that Hess will wrestle in
the 165 pound class in the Big Six
contests.
Leland Mechem, of Clarion,
Charles Miller of Sigourney, and
Lester Bencke, of Maynard, are
staging a fight for the call to the
heavyweight post with Mechem, a
veteran, having the edge.
Kenneth Ruggles of Ames, for
mer state and national high school
champion in the 145-pound class,
now weighs 160 pounds and could

The Growler
BY HARRY FOSTER.
I guess that I'll have to dip my
pen into tho maelstrom again. This
time I'm refutln' my better. Foot
ball as carried on In collegiate cir
cles today may be Intended for an
advertisement but it fails in that
endeavour. An article appeared In
tho Saturday Evening post a dec
ade or so ago which gave me this
idea.
Do colleges which havo winning
football teams thereby increase
their enrollment? The answer is
nay, In most instances. Take Cen
tre college who's "Praying Col
onels" brought fame to their insti
tution. A survey will show that
tho enrollment didn't increase In
proportion to the prominence thus
gained. Was the team an adver
tisement? Sho, sho, but it didn't
sell the school.
Chlcngo has a larger enrollment
than Northwestern, so dees Illinois.
Northwestern has a better team.
St. Marys, tho J'Notre Dame of tho
west coast" Is a smull school. U.
S. O. is smaller in enrollment than
her neighboring schools. Colum
bia, having the largest enrollment
of any university in the world
hasn't had a good season in a num
ber of years. As a matter of fact
Columbia abolished football at one
time ami suffered no loss in attend
ance. All of these Instances prove
my contention that football is not
an advertising medium of any im
portance to a school.
The fellow on the other side of
the fence mifcht well ponir to Notre
Dame as being an example of what
football advertising does to a
school. My answer to this is that
religious denomination has a lot
to do with the attendance, a Notre
D:nie. A football player who is a
Catholic would like to give His
services to Notre Dame and since
that school had a coach of na
tional prominence he had another
reason for attending there.
No, football is not an advertis
ing medium, Mr. Editor, or if you
persist that it is, you'll have to ad
mit that it falls down. All of whih
reminds me of the football player
who was voicing indignation over
the editor of the "rag." The husky
fleler gave vent to his wrath. 1
ajked him if he thought that foot
ball was an advertisement for his
school. He answered in the affir
mative so I told him that he
agreed with the editor. He didn't
like that . . .
WILL VEST-POCKET
WORDS OF WINCHELL
CHANGE LANGUAGE?
PROFS DISAGREE.
(Continued from Page 1.)
Prof. Z. W. Coombs, of the Wor
cester Polytechnic Institute in
Massachusetts.
"The prime trait of slang sling
ers seems to be the facility with
which the words of the language
are slung right and left by them
with a total disregard for propri
ety," wrote Prof. H. J. Tunney of
the University of Notre Dame, in a
long and entertaining discussion of
Winchell's English.
"When Walter Winchell tells of
a mis-mated married couple who
have gone to Nevtda to 'Reno
vate'," Professor Tunney added,
"we must, perforce, chuckle. That
is a clever, witty expression; and
so is 'Renotoriety.' The only ob
jection is that Mr. Winchell is too
well aware of his wit and clever
ness." "The English language has been
subjected to many vicissitudes in
the past," said Prof. Carleton
Brown of New York university,
secretary of the Modern Language
Association of America, "and has
shown remarkable toughness and
power of persistence. My personal
opinion is that it will continue
without any perceptible effect from
the worst which Mr. Winchell can
do to it."
"Undeniably these intellectual
flashes tend to quicken our na
tional speech," remarked Prof.
Carroll S. Alden. head of the de
partment of English and history at
the United States naval academy
in Annapolis, "but coined expres
sions, especially those relating to
temporary conditions, will not be
found to have anything of the vi
tality possessed by those that
spring from the soil."
' Language is constantly grow
ing and constantly changing,"
commented Prof. Robert Wlthing
ton of Smith college, Northampton,
Mass. "We find words in good
odor today which started as slang
or were once restricted to a trade
or profession. I do not imagine
that anyone can tell which of Mr.
Winchell's contributions will last
or whether any of them will."

Bugs and Beasts Sentenced to Death
In Olden Times Says Wisconsin Paper
It nlvrn.il of Vt Ihi'oiimih Dully ( iinllnlnl
Bugs and beasts have come be
fore the law and have been pun
ished even sentenced to death!
That is the remarkable fact ex
pounded in E. B. Evans' "The
Criminal Prosecution and Capital
Punishment of Animals," recently
added to the case of new books at
the university library.
Imagine making a legal reputa
tion for oneself by defending rats.
But that is exactly what Bartholo
mew Chassence did. He was a dis
tinguished French jurist of the six
teenth century and he knew his
law.
Chassence Defends Rats.
The rats, having eaten up and
destroyed the barley crop of the
province were ordered to appear
before the court on a certain day.
Chassence was appointed to defend
them.
Of course the ruts had a bad
reputation, and were actually
guilty so the lawyer had to work
skillfully.
Left Matters to Lawyer.
Rats are roving creatures. Not
all of them live in one place.
Therefore, he argued, they needed
more than one summons if they
were to obey.
A second citation was published
from the pulpits of all parishes in
habited by said rats. They prob
ably felt so much confidence in
their counsel that they left all
matters to him; they didn't ap
epar. Mama and papa rat felt their
faith was justified. For their law
yer proved that because of the
length and difficulty of the jour
ney and because of the vigilance
of their moral enemies, the cats,
they couldn't appar.
Chassence showed that a person
who cannot come to the place
cited with safety may exercise the
right of appeal and refuse to obey
the writ.
The decision of the court is not
known, but it is likely that the
rats never actually obeyed the
summons. After all, many of them
probably were illiterate and didn't
know any better.
Excommunicate Insects.
Decree o f excommunication
against pernicious insects were not
uncommon. Sometimes the curse
was effective; sometimes not. It
was questioned whether such a
thing way be rightfully and law
fully done.
At various times an orchard was
anathematized by a priest because
its fruits kept the children away
from mass. And Lake Leman was
freed of eels which interfered with
bathing and fishing.
"Sometimes the obnoxious ver
min were generously forewarned,"

writes Mr. Evans.
"The curates were charged to
make processions during the of
fices, and the slugs were warned
three times to cease from vexing
the people by corroding and con
suming the herbs of the fields and
the vines, and to depart; "and if
they do not heed this, our com
mand, we excommunicate them
and smite them, with our anath
ema," he continues.
This excommunication occurred
in 1488. People may have changed
since then, but the insects seem to
be still the same "ornery" crea
tures they have always been. In
spite of the warnings, they were
ungrateful.
Proceed Against Moles.
"The People vs. Locusts" was
one case in which the insects were
ordered to vacate the premises in
six days under pain of maledic
tion. This report and others are
amusing for the sheer nonsense
and eloquence of language.
Criminal proceedings against
moles and field mice were also
instigated, the animals having a
counsel to defend them. And the
knd judge was so moved by the
pica that lie mitigated the sen
tence of perpetual bandishment.
Send Letters To Rats.
"A faded and somewhat droll
survival of the ecclesiastical ex
communication and exorcism is the
custom, still prevailing in European
countries and some portions of the
United States, of serving a writ of
ejectment on rats or simply send
ing them a friendly letter of advice
in order to induce them to quite
any house, in which their presence
is deemed undesirable. Lest the
rats should overlook and thus fail
to read the epistle, it is rubbed
with grease, so as to attract their
attention, rolled up and thrust into
their holes," says an excerpt.
Ore person addressed his letter
to "Messers. Rats and Co.," and
suggests new quarters for their
welfare.

Utah center, opened the scoring
for his team with a free throw
on Wischmelr's foul.
Both teams were missing setups,
until Evans arched in a long one
for Brighnm Young's first goal
from tho field. Mason's pass to
Wlschmelr was good for two
points, but Romney suddenly found
himself at this juncture to swish
two thru the netting. As the half
ended, Herion connected going
away from the basket.
Five minutes went by in the
second period before Mason put in
a free throw, and Honrion followed
with a long one from the side. Nel
son again fouled Mason whose gift
shot made the count stand 19-18,
Brighnm Young leading.
Cougars Pull Away.
Romney and Nelson sank two in
succession and pulled away from
the Blackmen.
Sauer and Henrion then en
tered tho game and together they
put on a spurt that threatened to
pull the game out of the fire. They
started too late, however, and the
Utah cagesters kept possession of
the ball till the gun sounded.
The work of Romney at forward
was outstanding, especially since
he played with a sprained ankle. It
was Romney who almost single
handed swept the Cornhuskers to
defeat last year by a 55 to 44
score.
