The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII----New Series VOL. III Iowa City, Iowa, Tuesday, February 11, 1919 IOWA LOSES RETURN GAME TO MINNESOTA AFTER HARD BATTLE Hawkeyes Lead Gophers Once In First Half----But Lose Game 36-22 COTTON IS OLD GOLD STAR Captain Berrien Fails to Start Contest----Brown Gives Fine Free Throw Exhibition Coach Bannick and his Hawkeye team mates gave Minnesota the toughest battle it has had this season Saturday night, but were forced to concede victory once more to the giant northmen, by a score of 36 to 22. The first half was a hair raiser, with the two fives fighting desperately for an advantage. Minnesota jumped into a six point lead right at the start of the contest but Iowa speeded up and uncorked an unpleasant surprise to the Gophers. GUARD WELL Playing a five man defense, the Hawkeyes guarded the Minnesota net so closely that the Swedes could not get within scoring range. Throughout the first period, Bannick's men maintained this system and held the Gophers down to baskets made on long sensational shots from the center of the floor. Baskets by Cotton, Finlayson, Kaufman and Olson following in quick succession gave Iowa a two point lead for awhile in the initial frame. This was the first time this season that the Gophers were not on top in all of the conference games that they have played. The brief Hawkeye advantage was soon lost, however, and the home team was leading by a count of 12 to 8 when the twenty minute round ended. COTTON MAKES GOOD In the second frame, the Gophers were never headed and they increased their lead slowly but surely. Although Cotton played a beautiful game, the Hawkeyes were forced to retreat before the terrific onslaught of the champion Minnesota crew. Captain Berrien did not start for Iowa in the clash, Cotton being used in his place. Cotton made good in beautiful style, making six baskets, and barely missed scoring as many points as Oss, the leading point getter for the Gophers. The Iowa forward was easily the stellar performer for his team. Brown continued to shine as a foul thrower, only missing one out of five. For Doc Cook's five, Oss with seven field goals and Kinsley with four were the particular luminaries. Lineup and summary: Minnesota (36) LF Lawler RF Oss C Kinsley LG Platou RG Hultkranz Iowa (22) LF Cotton RF Finlayson C Olson LG Kaufman RG Brown Substitution----Nicholaus for Kaufman Summary----Field baskets, Oss 7, Lawler, Kinsley 4, Platou 4, Kaufman, Olson, Cotton 6, Finlayson. Free throws----Platou 4 out of 9; Brown 4 out of 5. Personal fouls----Lawler, Hultkranz, Platou, Kaufman, Brown 2, Nicholaus 2, Olson, Finlayson. Technical fouls----Hultkranz, Platou, Kaufman, Cotton. Officials----Referee, Hoffman of Chicago; umpire, Smith of University High. PROF. BORDWELL MAY RETURN TO UNIVERSITY Information received by Dean D. O. McGovney of the college of law, indicates that it is probable that Prof. Percy Bordwell, inspector of the 88th division, A. E. F., will again be a member of the law faculty in the University for the spring term, which begins March 25. Except for the armistice and the suspension of promotions soon after, Major Bordwell would now be a lieutenant-colonel. Whether the recent countermanding of that suspension has resulted in his promotion is not known here. RIFLE CLUB PLANS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Loving Cups for Champions in Inter-Fraternity and Inter-sorority Shoots Donald W. Price, coach of the University rifle team, announced yesterday that a big reorganization in the rifle club is soon to take place in the form of a drive for new members. The Iowa City "crack" assisted by other rifle fans will endeavor to make rifle shooting class one of the most popular sports at Iowa. It is expected that over 100 members will join the club before the end of the present year. As an inducement to interest the students at the University in becoming members of the fine organization, a series of inter-fraternity ad inter-sorority matches will be held in the near future. To the victorious fraternity and sorority chapter loving cups will be awarded by the rifle club. Three cups will be on display in a local jeweler's window soon. Non-fraternity men and non-sorority women may also enter the contests by organizing a team of five members. All students are eligible for the contests. It is necessary, however, that they first become members of the rifle club. All men or women wishing to join the organization and shoot in the matches, may give their names to Chief Trumpeter Jacob Maier or to Alan Rockwood. Prospects for a winning rifle team at the University this year are exceptionally good. Many old men are now contesting for places upon the team in view of the fast approaching season. Louis Tobin, Walter Kelley, Donald Price, Cecil Bliss, Leo Linder, Farlo Ham, Albert Ady, Fred Fitzpatrick, Hans Lee, Lieut. DuBois, Edward Draper, Lieut. Edward Rate, and Lieut. Wherry, are among those contesting. STUDENT GETS RARE BIRD A sawwhet owl, which Prof. Homer R. Dill, assistant professor of zoology, says is the second caught in this section of the country in twelve years has been caught by Russell Hendee and is now being prepared for bird hall in the museum laboratory. This is a very small bird, native to the Arctic but it migrates southward occasionally. It is named for its peculiar call like the whetting of saws. LINCOLN LETTER AT LIBRARY Lincoln's picture appears on the library bulletin board for famous men. Near the picture is the letter which Lincoln wrote to Mrs. Bixby. It is said to be a model of expressive English which is no where surpassed. WILLARD H. DODD OF AMBULANCE UNIT BACK FROM OVERSEAS Croix de Guerre Conferred Upon Dodd and Four Other Iowa Students COLONEL DIDN'T KISS 'EM Has Furlough From Camp Dodge Hospital Where He Is Recovering From Wounds Willard H. Dodd, 15 West Burlington street, who was a member of the University Ambulance corps which left here June 20, 1917, has just returned from a year's active service overseas. Mr. Dodd received five wounds from a high explosive shell which went fifteen feet above his head. He is here on a 10 days' furlough from the base hospital at Camp Dodge. Mr. Dodd with three other Iowa students----Claire Hamilton, of Winterset, C. O. Powers of Cedar Rapids, and Carl Randklev of Iowa City, received the French Croix de Guerre on May 1, for bringing wounded men back from the trenches for continuous forty-eight hours, under heavy shell fire. Noel Hamilton, also of Iowa City and of this same section received his Croix de Guerre several days later. LEFT JUNE 1917 Thirty men from different colleges of the University, left here June 20, 1917 as members of the Iowa ambulance corps, for Allentown, Pennsylvania, where they remained until January 9, 1918 when the unit went to Liverpool, thence on to Le Havre and Saint Nazaire, France. Here the men secured their ambulances and drove to Toul, in Alsace Lorraine. Then they were taken back to Amiens where they were in the line for the first time. At Amiens they were awarded their war crosses, by an old French colonel, who was about to kiss the boys, until he saw their embarrassment and he refrained from doing so. The unit stayed at Amiens for about two months and then they were moved (Continued on page 8) WILLA QUIST DIES IN OHIO HOSPITAL Graduted From Home Economics Last June---Attended Vassar Training School Willa Quist, of Essex, B. A. '18, died Sunday at Lakeside hospital, Cleveland, Ohio, where she had passed her probatory period as a nurse. Influenza, followed by pneumonia, was the cause of her death. Soon after her graduation last June, Miss Quist entered the Vassar training school for nurses at Poughkeepsie. At the end of her training there, she was transferred to Lakeside hospital. Two brothers Delos, sophomore and George, freshman, are attending the University. Oval Quist, '14 and Lucile Quist '15 are Iowa alumni. Funeral services will be held in Essex this afternoon. SOCIAL COMMITTEE WELCOMES STUDENTS Student Members Last Year Not Truly Representative of Student Body The social committee of the University, at a meeting last Friday afternoon, decided to welcome representation of the student body upon the social committee if the students themselves can work out a system by which the student body can be adequately represented. Members of the present committee which consists of faculty members appointed by the president of the University, are Dean W. J. Teeters, chairman, Prof. E. E. Lewis, Dean Nellie S. Aurner, Prof. Clara M. Daley, Dean R. E. Rienow, Dr. E. M. McEwen and Prof. G. T. W. Patrick. This committee holds its position by reappointment. Last year, the social committee invited representatives from ten University organizations which it thought would be a fair representation of the student body. The organizations chosen were Associated Law students, Associated Students of Applied Science, Associated Pharmacy students, Forensic league, medical students, dental students, inter-fraternity council, Pan-Hellenic women's council, Women's Forensic council and Women's league. Members of the social committee did not feel that last year's committee was truly representative of the student body because in some cases they were not elected by student organizations and the ten organizations did not cover all the students. Nearly all of last year's members of the committee, representing the student body, are not back in school this year. KAY GOES TO SIOUX CITY Dean George F. Kay left last night for Sioux City where he will deliver two lectures. This forenoon he will address the students of Morningside college. He is scheduled to lecture tonight at the Sioux City Academy of Science on "The Geology of Northwestern Iowa." NEW BOOKS AT LIBRARY New books at the University library this week are Raumer's History set, American Social Problems by Burch and Patterson, How to Study Literature by Heydrick, America and the Orient by Gullick and a book by Halliwell on Old English Plays. COL. MUMMA GLAD TO BE HOME AGAIN WITH IOWA PEOPLE [Photograph of Colonel Morton C. Mumma in uniform with medals] Little Mumma's and Mrs. Mumma Are Also Pleased to Come Back to Iowa WILL STRENGTHEN R. O. T. C. Has Been Commander in Infantry School of Arms at Camp Benning, Ga. "Iowa first, last, and always for me," is the greeting to the Iowa student body by Col. Morton C. Mumma, who arrived in Iowa City yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Mrs. Mumma and the five little Mumma's. "Iowa City is home to me" he smilingly said, "and I am mighty glad to be back." The same pleasure was expressed by Mrs. Mumma and the younger members of the family, who were cordially welcomed not only by the University students and faculty, but by the people of Iowa City as well. PREPARE TO AVOID WAR Col. Mumma returns to the University to take permanent charge of the military department, in his former capacity as Commandant which position he held at the time war was declared. He prefers to train Iowa men and for that reason is back here to renew his old work. "About the past war, I have nothing to say," said the Colonel, but he strongly emphasized the future, stating that there must be built up such a strong corps of reserve officers in this country, that an army as large as mobilized by us against Germany, can again be trained in less than a third of the time it took us to do it in 1917 and 1918. "If we wish to avoid war" he said, "we must stand prepared at all times." A reserve army of enlisted men is not the big necessity, as soldiers can be raised and trained in a few weeks if there are enough trained officers to take charge of the men. Col Mumma says that the war has demonstrated beyond a doubt that college men make the best officers, and he strongly favors the R.O.T.C. as the means of creating an officers' reserve. INSTRUCTOR IN SOUTH Col. Mumma left the University after the closing of the spring term of 1916, going to Camp D. A. Russell, Wyoming, to take charge of the 25th cavalry, which was converted into the 83rd field artillery. Later he was made instructor of the 1st Wyoming infantry during its mobilization. He left there in October of 1917, being detailed to the general staff at Washington, D. C. to handle all questions concerning the manufacture of small arms and small arms ammunition. (continued on page 8) HUMANIST SOCIETY HEARS PROF. SCOTT Prof. J. H. Scott of the English department spoke on "The Humor in Thomas Mallory" before the Humanist society at the University club last night. The humor in "Le Morte D'arthur," according to Professor Scott, is of three kinds: conscious jokes based on ridiculous situations, use of works and various literary devices; discrepancies between the life of that time and of today; the quaint language of the author.
