These two tilts which have been carded against public high schools were made possible by the recent ruling of the Iowa public high school athletic association accepting the eligibility standards of the state Catholic loop. Another game which will attract interest will be that with Columbia academy, traditional rivals of the Little Saints. It was the Du-hawks whom the Ambrosian preps downed in the final game of the 1 913 season to cop the championship of the Iowa Catholic high school association. The schedule follows with the games with Spalding and St. Mary of Sterling still tentative.

Bedes of Peru, there. By JUSTIN DONEGAN The St. Ambrose academy football schedule for 1930 was announced bythe officials at the local school 'today. The Schedule calls for eight games at present, and another game may be carded for the open date which remains. Two tilts are still tentative, but it is expected that it will be arranged that they wilt be played on the dates which have been chosen.

The schedule which has been ar ranged is one of the most imposing to face a St. Ambrose prep eleven for a number of years, and calls for tilts with several public high schools as well as a number of teams which are members of the Iowa Catholic high school association. Play Old Rivals Next season the academics will meet Clinton high school for the first time In the last three years. These two teams have always been friendly rivals, and a num ber of fast battles have resulted when they met in the past. Another former opponent who will appear against the Ambros- ans in the coming year will be Washington high of Cedar Rapids.

The Saints have not engaged these lads for three years either, and combats rivaling those of former years should result when the Wash AT THE ROYAL ALLEYS.

Chicago, Feb. 4.

(AP) With the presence of one of the principals, Prlmo Camera himself, unavailable, the investigation into he circumstances leading up to and surrounding the Italian Goliath's 47-sccond knockout of Elzear Rioux, at the Chicago stadium last Friday night, was before the Illinois State Athletic commission today. Trimo spoke his piece before the commission at a special meeting of the commission last Saturday, but was not on hand for rebuttalif any today as he was in the East preparing for his meeting with James "Battling" Owen, at Newark, N. Thursday night. The investigation was ordered by Frederick Gardner, member of the commission, after Rioux, French Canadian heavyweight, failed to survive the first round in his share of Primo's Chicago debut. The purses of both fighters, around $16,000 for Camera and $3,000 for RIoujt, were held up by order of the commission, to be held in escrow until the commission is convinced the contest was "genuine." Members of the commission made no flat charges that anything was wrong, but the more than 17,000 spectators at the fight, seemed to be of the opinion that Rioux had been too eager to remain on the canvas.

Along with Rioux, and his representative, Charles Turner; Dave Barry, referee; W. A. Brattye and E. L. Cook, the Judges and Walter Friedman, a member of Camera's retinue who remained behind for the hearing, were to be questioned by the commission this afternoon.

Purdue Wins By 60 to 14 Against Ohio "Stretch" Murphy Sets New High Score Record, 28 Points. Chicago, Feb. Charlie (Stretch) Murphy, Purdue's center extraordinary, today owned a new Western conference individual scoring record for one game, and his team was one game more solidly planted in first placa in the Big Ten basketball championship race. While his teammates were chipping in an occasional point to give Ohio State a highly decorative 60 to 14 beating at Lafayette last night, the great Stretch shot and batted in 13 field goals and a pair of free throws for 2S points. The performance surpassed his own record set against Chicago last season when he scored eight field goals and 10 foul shots, for 26 points.

The triumph was the third straight for Purdue, and set a new scoring record in a single game for the season. Michigan's 45 to 26 defeat of Indiana was the best previous effort of the campaign. The all-time conference scoring mark, according to available records, was set by Purdue during the 1901-02 season when Indiana was beaten, 71 to 25. Purdue at Chicago. Purdue will have an opportunity to make it four in a row Saturday night when it meets Chicago at Chicago.

will seek to move into a tie with Wisconsin for second place tomorrow night when it meets Chicago at Champaign. Chicago ha3 hot scored a victory In four games and appears to be, in line for two defeats this week. Illinois will invade Minnesota Saturday night, while Indiana renews activity by meeting Ohio State at Columbus, the same night.

There has been so much chatter making the rounds since last. Mav in regard to the Hawk- eye's status that there seems to be little need for more words. However, the conversation put out bv two certain parties was very illuminating. It, perhaps, was cross-section of the opinions 01 the community.

"History shows that no individ ual, no company or no 01 tion, no matter how qrtit, one Gentleman, who is not an Iowa Alumnus, said, "has ever been un- and has gotten away witn u. To be sure, for awhile, certainly, but sooner or later or it has paid the penalty. "People and organizations ai times have seemed to prosper on unfair tactics, but if their cases are studied, results will show that the toll was exacted at a later time. Personally. I think that the Big Ten conference has strucK us death knell.

Of course, the end will not come right away. It may be a few years before the depreciation is seen, but the end is going to come just as sure as there is a heaven above use. "Because of the decidedly un fair treatment given Iowa, the con ference has lost the support of many people, certain dictators iu the circuit have openly shown their enmity, and people are won dering if they are as unsportsman like in all matters as they were in this case. "The whole matter has been handled in such a juvenile manner and the hand of politics has been so evident that people have become very cynical about any altruistic motives the conference may have. The unfair means taken to injure Iowa are almost con vincing proof that selfishness is a predominating note in the athletic plans of the Big Ten." J1 1 That man is not an agitator.

He is not a bolshevik. He is not an over-enthusiastic He is a very good business man whose judgment has been tested and not found wanting. If he has that slant on the matter, suffice it to say that he is not alone in his opinions. Then we had the opportunity of getting another viewpoint, this one from a professional man who is a good sportsman. "The greatest good that the Big Ten conference or any confer ence for that matter can do Is to promote sportsmanship.

I helieve I am right in saying that the essence of sportsmanship is fair ness," he said. "If you can show me where the element of fairness existed in the Big Ten's treatment of Iowa, I will appreciate it. "The Big Ten faculty officials took the word of a discharged em ploye Belting and expelled Iowa without a hearing last May. December these same offi clals broke the rules of the confer ence and broke faith with Iowa They did not deny the Hawkeye plea until after they had called in the athletic directors, two of whom were known to be very opposed to Iowa, and secured their versions. it was these same officials who censured Iowa because the athletic situation at the Hawkeye school was not under faculty con trol.

'Could anything be more un fair? "Then at Chicago last Saturday they tried to undo some of the wrong and salve their conscience by re admitting Iowa. "At the same time they allow the element of unfairness to per sist by ruling out the athletes who had profited by the slush fund, es tablishcd by the discharged em ployee. "They are taking the sure means to see to it that Iowa's athletic power will he something the other teams will not have to worry about. for some time to come. "Sportsmanship in the Big Ten? Yeah? Ob, yeah! This same gentleman gave us something to think about.

Since the drastic order laid down by the Big Ten on the subsidiza tion of athletes and the tightening of the lines following the expose of the Carnegie Survey, many prom ising athletes will find themselves out of "jobs." Athletic history has proven that the great bulk of players comes from families whose financial con- dition Is poor. Rich men's sons, speaking about the average, do not make athletes and accordingly the stars have been drawn from the ranks of the dependent families. These players have. not. been able to pay heir own way thru school.

In the future the poor man's son will not be ahle to do it either. What will happen if they do not get asslstanco from some place? Kither they will drop out of school or they will drop out of the Big Ten conference. an athlete is subsidized in any way, the conference rules are he ing broken and cheating is being done by someone.

Molina's attempted bid for recognition as a fistic center was brought forcibly home to the fans of the quad-cities today as Al Iso of Rockford and Battling Burner of Chicago unpacked their gym togs and settled down to four days of polishing up in the Elks club basement. Isoz and Burner, ljO-pounders, are to be the principals in the 10-round main go of tho first legalized boxing show ever held in the Plow city, The place is the Moline field house and tho date is this Friday evening. Isoz was accompanied by his pilot, Joe Mandell, brother of the lightweight champion, Sammy. Jor, who used to have aspirations to pugilistic greatness on his own account, is still able to travel ten rounds or more with any scuffler near his poundage. He finds an outlet for his surplus energy in acting as sparmate to Isoz in th latter's drills.

LANOIS SHOWS HIS FIRE Wilkes Barre Witnesses Given Heated Speech By Baseball's Head. By AL SCHULTZE (Club Secretary) tparKI It Dotift-rjl New York, N. Feb. 4. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, baseball's commissioner, late Monday afternoon, placed his official O.

K. on Joe Visotski's contract with Davenport. At the same time lie sate notice that the Nanticoke hurler's contract, signed after the Davenport contract, was nothing but a slip of paper. His action yesterday does not mean that Visotski is the property of the Blue Sox club. Landis is reserving his decision, and It Is not known just when he will hand down the final ruling in the matter.

However, as things stand now, the Davenport fans should leel optimistic about the case. Present at the meeting were J. H. Farrell, secretary of the National Baseball association, Tierny of the Giants, Donnelly of Jersey City and five members of the Wilkes-Barre club. Joe Dennis, the scout who signed Visotski for Davenport, proved a pood witness and helped the Blue Sox cause much.

Landis termed the Wilkes-Barre contract as a "slip of paper." The baseball czar showed his fire when he delivered a strong lecture to the Wilkes-Barre witnesses. Visotski. who was not a witness, looks good and is in fine shape. I WORK TO DO Xew York, Feb. 4.

(AP) National league club owners had a few chores to perform today before allowing the players to take over th baseball reins for 1930. The league' spring meeting generally is devoted to adoption of the schedule for the coming season and advance Indications were that there was little else to be done. There was a possibility, however, that efforts would be made to settle once and for all the Internal dissensions that have torn the Brooklyn club for several years. Suggestions were made that K. M.

Landis, baseball commissioner, might net as mediator in the long battle between Wilbert Robinson, president manager of the club, and S. V. MeKeever, a heavy stockholder, Robinson's contract as manager has expired and strictly speaking the Dodgers are without any pilot to guide thera from the bench. Ilobinson has the support of the Khbets heirs and so far has mati-eged to defeat all of McKeeper's efforts to oust him. Babe Ruth's threat to quit baseball unless he was given a three year contract at $85,000 annually pave baseball men something to talk about, but there was no disposition on the part of anyone to take the slugger's statement too Fpriously.

Most observers felt that by the time the season opens, or before, Ruth will have adjusted his difficulties with the New York Yankees probably on a contract that will be a compromise between his demands and the club's offer of per year for two years.

The Islanders entertain Aledo Friday at the Rock Island and Saturday go to Savanna to meet Coach McCarthy's sharpshooters. Robert Theus and a lad named Carpenter are the latest to get their names in the book of heroes. When things looked dark for the Crimson last Friday in the Moline game, they filled the back-guard post in such commendable fashion that even Captain Rosborough and other Maroon aces were unable to get many shots at the basket Previous to the display of valor and guarding technique by these players, Rock Island high had only five men who were ranked as varsity material. The only bad feature about both of the guards Is that they graduate in June. However, it was very encouraging to fans to see that the offense was not weakened considerable to lose such a star as Howard Urle.

Now it is the struggle of Zummke's underground pass against Doofoddy's wing system. It Is a highly commercialized pastime, with the individual forgotten in the university's competition for 'good and big receipts to pay for stadia and expensive athletic programs. "This is the day of specialists and squads so big that there isn't the need of developing allaround ability in individuals. Coaches are too busy working out tactics. The old fight-lt-ought spirit is gone; We had to be able to do everything in the old days because there was no one to rush In for one single play or bit of strategy.

Men were too scarce. Praise for Rockne. "Of course football today has done many fine things for some colleges. For instance, it has helped Notre Dame build up the splendid traditions of success that Yale used to glory in, provided buildings, interested alumni, and turned into something fine. Knute Rockne builds players, not plays.

He makes men. "But for the most part, the pointing to huge receipts as evidence of tremendously increased interest is only an excuse to salve the conscience against commercialism. Crowds of 80,000 and so on, are offered as evidence of football's popularity, but that's not so. Big games today are just occasions, the proper places to be, and prize fights, under the same favorable conditions and ballyhoo, would draw as well." Yale, so Frank Butterworth believes, is drifting back to the old system of coaching, where former stars and captains came back to develop individuals into great teams, drilled and hammered and lived with the men, respected by them and loved. The best sign, be says, is the appearance of Adam Walsh in Yale coaching ranks.

Walsh learned that system from Rockne at Notre Dame, who in turn was taught by Alonzo Stagg, 1 one of Old Eli's bulwarks.

Note: The accompanying interview with Frank Butterworth, famous old Yale fullback, who gives some of his ideas on the modern game, is another of the Associated Press series on veter- ans of sport. By EDWARD J. NEIL Associated Press Sports Writer. New York, Feb. 4.

(AP) The fine "old" man of lale looioaii. super-hero of the days when Frank Hinkey, "Pudge" neiiemnger, Kid" Wallace and a host of otner historic figures roamed the tn playing fields, looks down from the hills of Connecticut and isn't at all pleased with what has happened to football today. He Frank B. Buttorwortn, 'old" only in. that he captained tne Yale varsity of 1804.

He played three raging years of football with Hinkey, fashioned for nimseu a place among the all-time fullbacks, and could kick with any man. Today tie roams his estate in the hills of Mt. Carmel, a country gentleman with his riding horses. polo ponies, donkey ana aogs, ciose enough to Yale to be the friend and confidant of another genera tion of pigskin warriors, yet far enough away to be able to live in the rural surroundings he loves. Despite the gray that traces thru his straight black hair, he looks as tho he still could play plenty of fullback for Yale or run a fast half mile as he used to.

lie is tan, broad-shouldered, very little above the 162 pounds he toted in bygone Eli back fields. Two of his sons, Ben and Frank, followed iu his cleat marks at Yale and Frank was a whale of a heavyweignt fighting prospect. Truth in Tnis. "Football may have been rough er, Bo saia, oui it was a ann; of players and not of plays in the old days. Professional spirit and direction dominates the game today.

Students are losing interest. Ultimately we may nave to go to some new game, some blood brother of present-day football, to rebuild the old sporting contests of the past.

TURNERS WILL MEET CHICAGO OUTFIT SUNDAY After taking a 24 to 19 trimming at the hands of the Clinton Turn ers Sunday afternoon, the Daven port Central Turners' activities will engage in long practice sessions this week In preparation for their hardest game of the season to be played here next Sunday after noon with the Chicago Red Dev ils. The tilt will be played at the Central gym on Third and Scott streets, and will be a double-head er program with the feminine cag-ers taking part In the preliminary.
