Iowa waa at all times willing to play Mis souri agntn. but Prestdent A. Rom Hill of the Tiger Institution refused to permit his board to schedule another contest after the evidence regarding the spying on the foot ball team wss placed before him. The evidence was mi coiiclnalve that the presi dent was lhefiret man to announce that Missouri would not play Iowa. , Mlssenrt Tkr Tit). fini-a' SifxiiotiH 'took this position it has never made the mateer public, choosing to let Iowa suffer without the wilght of public acorn. It was the opinion of the Missouri hoard of control that Iowa should feel the effect of Missouri' action only through the severing of athletic relations. - On Sunday Th Bee published an article in which the statement was made that lowa dropped Missouri from Its schedule because of the Alexander deal. This article alpo read: "Wasn't the Alexander deal a subterfuge? The woods murmur something. Do you get It?" Certain people' conversant with the facts about Iowa arid Missouri objected to the statement that low" cut Missouri out be cause of Alexander and railed attention to the alleged spying of last fall. According to the story Concerning Iowa and It spying on Missouri an assistant coach wa sent to Columbia and watched the Tigers while they held open practice. This tutor, who closely resembles some of the Missouri player, was on the aide lines. Mans Utren m Miners f It ! alleged that when Missouri played the Missouri School of Mines this assistant coach at Iowa held a conference with tbe miners and drew dlagrama of the Tiger playa. It is stated that some of the Mis souri players have alnce seen these dia gram and that these were part of the evidence which led to the decision to cut Iowa off the Missouri schedule. It I also alleged that these signal were offered to another school on the Missouri schedule and that they were refused by thla Institution. Nebraska glumnl are anxious to learn whether Mlssiruil will now come forth and declare It oalifoTelativ tdTowa. These former Nebraska: stVicJent believe It I the duty of the Missouri authorities to lay bare the fact that Missouri valley athletics may be expurgated.

IOWA CITV, la.. Feb. T.-Sperlal.)-Athletlc authorities at tha University of Iowa are somewhat disconcerted over the attitude that the school of the Missouri Valley association have taken tn regard to the refusal of the Hawkeyes to play Drake university at foot ball on any other date than that of October 21. In their present position they declare they have been entirely misunderstood in the matter and that the Missouri Valley member look at the affair In entirely the wrong light, if there had been any possible way In which the Iowa team could have met Drake on any other date than the 21M ot the month, the opportunity would have been taken, aay they, but aa it la, Iowa was placed In a position over which It had absolutely no control and was literally forced to offer Drake that date and no other one. Drake, everyone here declares la and always will be recognised as a worthy adversary, and the Idea that Iowa I endeavoring to break away from it association with the school of the Mis souri Valley Is tabooed on every tide. The student body at Iowa university re grets exceedingly the faot that Drake may not be met in foot ball next year. Re sponse to the last letter sent by N. A. Kellogg to the Drake management has not been received, but atudents here are looking forward to It with the hope that It Is possible the Drake management will look at the affair In a different light and reconsider It refusal to play Drake on that date. Whether Drake accept or not, Iowa will have a full and heavy schedule for the season of 1911. Morningslde comes first and thereafter, providing Drake accept the October date, Minnesota. Wisconsin. Northwestern, Ames and Purdue will come with unerring regularity. Iowa Is somewhat disappointed .that the Purdue and Northwestern games could not have been ahoved forward a few week, but realises that suck aggregation as Minne sota and Wisconsin cannot be dictated to.

There had been 'Young Thcvs" and "Young Thoses." and most of them were so much like the others that the management decided It would be a treat to get away from the local environ ment and obtain something with a flavor to it which did not savor of the east side. That is why New York got Wolgnst at that particular time. His opponent was Owen Moran. The bout was only for six rounds and there was some action In It. Moran was the more clever of the two. al lougli no decision was rendered, as Is al ways the case In local affairs. Wolgast could not point as rapidly as Moran. but he had a way of emerging from between his shoulders every now and then, and with a swish which cut the air Ilka a bull whip, bringing around a snaky left which would have started an upheaval of a skyscraper had It landed very often. onlil Mot Land. The great trouble with Wolgast was that he could not make it land. Moran was too clever for him. For three rounds of the bout Moran was decidedly nonplussed by the style of Milwauke fighting to which he was opposed, but he recovered from his confusion shortly and toward the end mussed the westerner up a little. This Is the same Wolgast who Is now the lightweight champion of the United States. He won this title when he suc ceeded In beating that garrulous Illinois bird, "Bat" Nelson. There are a great many differences of opinion as to the future of Wolgast. There are opinion which are graded anywhere from an angle of sixty degrees to one ot fifteen degrees. Some believe that Wolgast will not last long as champion. There seems to be an opinion of that character In Cali fornia, where the young man has done his best fighting. Others think that Wolgast has only begun and will be champion tor two or three years to come. If he Is cham pion any longer than that he will be lucky, for this lightweight supremacy is almost as ephemeral as butterfly life. For Reason. Nelson insists that Wolgast Is the worst apology for a fighter whom he has faced. Possibly ,Bat' Is moved to this conclu sion by reason of the fact that Wolgast happened to be the fighter who faced him and beat him good. The "Battler" Insists that If he could get on "another match with Wolgast he would win from him. Others have Insisted that If Wolgast only would get Into the ring they would beat him. -- - Wolgast Injured his arm, and with that valid excuse always at the front door po litely declined every Invitation which was mailed to him. The arm which was hurt fs now supposed to be fairly well, and In order that he may test himself to his beat ability he has agreed to a match In Phila delphia at the new club which Is being managed by "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien. Wolgast's opponent will be "Knock Out" Brown. It Is not claimed for Brown that he is the most clever young boxer who ever stepped Into the ring, but It Is quit well known that he can punish some and accept some punishment In exchange. If he holds Wolgast to anything like an even break it will not be manifest that Brown is so much of a wonder as that Wolgast Is a heap of disappointment. Damper on Proceedings. If the bout should happen to be less fav orable to Wolgast than la anticipated on the Wolgast side of the fence, it Is more than likely that Moran, Nelson and other blushing young fighters who are clamoring to box Wolgast for the championship will have to ring; harder on the telephone than they have been ringing. On the other hand, if Wolgast finds that he can get through without suffering much from punishment, or any of tha other ills to which professional boxers ar supposed to be heir, there Is a chance that there will be a match between him and one of the aspirants to the title within a year or so. At the rate with which Wolgast has been traveling a year Is a fair guess. Th cham pion says that he is doing well in training quarters.
