IOWA STUDENTS WIN LITERARY HONORS Press and Authors Club Awards Prizes to Mrs. Strain and Warren Bassett Two Iowa students, Mrs. Frances B. Strain and Warren Bassett, won honors in the second annual short story and poetry contest conducted by the Iowa Press and Author's club. First honors in the short story went to Mrs. Strain. Mr. Bassett's poem on "Crowds" tied for first with Philip Stong of Drake in the poetry contest. Last year the University was well represented, with Weare Holbrook of Onawa winning first prize on his poetry and tying with Philip Stong of Drake for the short story honors. Mrs. Strain's story, "His Mother's Son," was written in Professor Hunt's short story course. It tells of a Canadian boy whose mother taught him to be brave but who almost fails when the crisis of war comes. Professor Hunt considers the composition excellent and the tale "told with feeling from a mother's standpoint." Before coming to the University to take special work, Mrs. Strain taught in the Newtrier township high school in Winetka, Ill., and was instructor in German for four years at St. Catherine's school, Davenport. Her husband, the Reverend Horace E. Strain, was at one time pastor of the First Congregational church of Iowa City. Warren Bassett is a sophomore in the University, a member of Athelney and of the Daily Iowan staff.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS FOR COMING SEASON APPEAR EXCELLENT Team Will Be Strengthened With Many Veterans Returning to University MEN RETURN FROM SERVICE Coach Howard Jones Will Begin His Fourth Year of Service at Iowa City Better football prospects than have been apparent in many years loom up on the horizon for next fall, according to the pre-season dope available. Now that aspirants to the team have been practicing for a few days under the direction of Head Coach Howard H. Jones, the football season seems not quite so distant and the Hawkeyes are beginning to anticipate a little and see visions of what the 1919 eleven may be able to accomplish. First of all, gridiron followers step back and make a respectful bow to the head coach, who last year developed the best football team which has represented Iowa in the western conference since 1900. Coach Jones has coached three Hawkeye elevens under his present five year contract, and next fall will be the beginning of his fourth year at Iowa. Jones has won the confidence of the squad and of the student body. In past years he has done wonders with limited material. Next year, with a veteran for almost every position, the coach will have the best squad to work with that has yet been available for him. Veterans Come Back Captain Lohman, Hunzelman, and Kelly, three men honored with all-conference and all-western selection last year, will return to school and be eligible for the team next year. Lohman and Kelly were chosen for the second all-conference team. Hunzelman was guard on the first all-conference and on the all-western eleven. Lohman and Kelly in the backfield and Hunzelman in the line will be a powerful nucleus for the team. These men, while they may be the most honored veterans, are by no means the only able performers of experience. Belding, regular end and punter last year, will be back and will be a hard man to beat. Besides his strong work on the left wing of the line, Belding did the team's punting last year and will probably act in the same capacity next season. Belding places his punts well and averages from fifty to fifty-five yards with his high spirals. Slater at tackle will fill another place, and the giant negro will undoubtedly be playing the best game of his career next year. On the defensive Slater is invincible. Mockmore will return to play guard for another season, and his past performance amply justifies the confidence that next year he will be one of the best guards in the conference. Heldt, center on the eleven last fall ,has quit school, but may return next year. However, it is possible that there will be some question of his eligibility. If he fails to come out, for any reason, Jones will probably have recourse to Bowlsby, a powerful player of a few years ago who went out of the game then through a broken leg sustained in a gridiron accident. Bowlsby will play either center or guard and will be a (Continued on page 6) MARGARET STARBUCK WILL GIVE RECITAL Margaret Starbuck, pianist, will give a recital in Mrs. Starbuck's studio in the Dey building this evening at 8.
