, 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 has forced dras

should be made to repent of its- sin. If,

IOWA SCRAPS WITH D&AkE
OVER FOOT BALL DATE
-) '
Friend of Varsity Team Sar
Beea Forced late) Kale Position
by Clrrasnstanee.
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.

at the National club. 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. He looks fit to tight and there
Is a possibility that quite a few of our
well heeled sporting clUiens will travel to
Philadelphia to see what the affair looks
like next week.
. A special train will be run over the Penn
sylvania road which will be fitted up with
parlor . cars, dining car and combination
smoker. The train will stop within a few
blocks of the club house and return to New
York immediately after the last fight of the
night.

GOETHALS IN WASHINGTON
Chief Engineer !a Aad Fortifica
tion Alnnar lanal Should Be Built
by Present Force.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7-4:olonel George
W. Goethats, chief engineer of the Panama
canal, conferred with Secretary of War
Dickinson today and arranged to appenr
before the appropriations committee of the
house on Wednesday to give first hand In
formation a to the money needed to con
tinue the canal work.
Colonel Goethals told the newspaper men
that, while it was not In his province to
discuss the question of the fortification of
the great waterway, he was particularly In
terested, that the fortifications, if au
thorised, should be built by the force now
employed on the canal. He said It would
be a most economical and effective course
to pursue. .
Colonel Goethals reiterated his belief the
canal will be ready for the commerce ot
the world by January 1, 1915, and added
that he really hoped vessels would be pas
sing through it before that date.
