WHAT OTHERS THINK
   To the Editor of The Iowan:
   Every college and university prides itself on its sportsmanship. After nearly two years absence from Iowa, I returned last Saturday to see the Iowa-Minnesota basketball game. I was surprised and disgusted by the unsportsmanlike conduct of a number of the fans. They were far in the minority but their actions were so offensive that the majority passed unnoticed. Any decision by the referee against Iowa was followed by groans, hisses, catcalls and even shouts to put out the referee, whereas decisions against Minnesota were met with cheers and much applause.
   The loudest demonstrations were concerned with the application of Rule 7, Section 9 in the Rulebook, “Holding.” Special attention of officials was called to this rule at the annual meeting of the Western Intercollegiate Basketball Association last December. Its interpretation was as follows: Voted, that when a player places [bot harms] around an opponent, even though the player may have one or both hands on the ball, it shall be ruled Holding.
   The referee was Saturday night, Cap Hedges, is clean and square. He

was an all-American basket ball player from Dartmouth and he knows the game. He is a graduate of this school and for one whole season coached the team without a cent of pay. He is officiating because he loves the game, and not for what he can get out of it. With a record like that, does anyone think that he would make decisions unfair to Iowa or to any other team?
   As an alumnus of this University, I want to believe that the disgraceful conduct of those few the other evening was due to pure thoughtlessness, and that a repetition will never occur.
