The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII─NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1919 NUMBER 68 IOWA'S RECORD GOOD FOR 1919 BASKETBALL Players Overcome Handicap of Poor Start and Finish Well TEAM WINS STATE TITLE Three Stars, Brown, Olson and Berrien, Have Played Last Game for Iowa Big Ten Standing Minnesota . . . . . 10 0 1,000 Chicago . . . . . . . 10 2 .833 Northwestern . .. 6 4 .600 Michigan . . . . . . 5 4 .555 Illinois . . . . . . . . . 5 7 .417 Iowa . . . . . . . . . . . 4 7 .364 Wisconsin . . . . . . 3 8 .273 Purdue . . . . . . . . . 4 7 .364 Ohio State . . . . . . 2 6 .250 Indiana . . . . . . . . . 2 6 .250 Iowa's basketball team has finished its 1919 schedule, leaving behind a fairly good record for the season notwithstanding several defeats at the hands of Big Ten fives The Hawkeyes easily captured the state title once more by winning from Coe, Cornell, and Ames (the latter team, twice) the three strongest fives in the state. Although the Old Gold quintet was slow in getting started in the conference race, and consequently lost several of the opening encounters, it finally struck its stride in the final lap of the season and finished in sixth place in the Big Ten. Indiana, Northwestern, and Wisconsin were the three Big Ten teams that were forced to bow to the Old Gold. Northwestern, ranking third in the percentage column, lost two contest to Iowa, the defeat of March 8 coming just after the Purple had humbled the victorious Maroons, and marring an otherwise clean slate for Pat Page's tossers. Wisconsin also upset the dope by beating Chicago, but was trounced in turn by the Hawkeyes here Monday night. These two defeats of the conquerors of Chicago mark the Hawkeye five as one of the best in the conference and in a measure make up for the two lacings the Old Gold received from the Midway crew. Overcome Poor Start Prospects at the beginning of the season seemed unusually bright for Iowa. Four veterans were on hand to form the nucleus of the new five, Captain Berrien, Olson, Cotton and Brown. However, the men were slow to develop and Coach Bannick who had been secured to take the place left vacant by Maury Kent, had a difficult task to select five consistent performers. Brown, returning late from training camp, and Olson from home, were hardly in shape for a strenuous game when the Coe date rolled around. As a result, the Iowa five barely escaped defeat in an over time contest. The belief that the Old Gold would be able to make a brilliant conquest in the Big Ten was rudely shattered five days later when Iowa lost the first conference game to Indiana on the armory floor. Fans had overlooked the fact that most of the Big Ten members had a flock of seasoned regulars on hand. Lack of organization, however, was (continued below after BASKETBALL TEAMS) IOWAN'S ALL-CONFERENCE BASKETBALL TEAMS Marquards (Northwestern) forward Oss (Chicago) forward Gorgas (Chicago) center Hinkle (Chicago) guard Platou (Minnesota) guard Second Five Berren (Iowa) forward Lawler (Minnesota) forward Kingsley (Minnesota) center Weston (Wisconsin) guard Kopp (Illinois) guard Honorable Mention ....Cotton (Iowa), Tilson (Purdue), Brown (Iowa), Nicholaus (Iowa), Hulkrantz (Minnesota), Wilcox (Northwestern), Young (Northwestern), Knapp (Wisconsin), Ingwerson (Illinois). (con't from above) the chief cause for the Hawkeye's defeat. Various combinations were tried by Bannick to prepare the squad for the Chicago trip. Worth, a new man, was given a tryout at forward, while Cotton was relegated to the side lines for a time. This team had no better success, losing to the Maroons 31 to 19. The following night however, Iowa won its first conference victory from Northwestern with practically the same lineup. Two long hard trips with games billed on successive nights proved disastrous for the Hawkeyes, and they lost to the Iowly Badgers at Madison the evening following a strenuous tussle with Minnesota, and Purdue the night following a victory over Indiana at Bloomington. In the Ames game at Iowa City, the best Hawkeye combination was found at last in Berrien and Cotton, forwards, Olson, center, and Brown and Nicholaus, guards. This aggregation began to play first class basketball, winning from Cornell, a strong contender for the state title, Ames, Northwestern, and Wisconsin. Brown Totals Most Points High scoring honors for the season go to Homer Brown, veteran guard whose ability to toss from throws was almost uncanny. His total of 99 points resulted from his remarkable work from the four line. Cotton leads his team mates in the number of field goals, having registered 34 for a total of 68 points. The other members of the squad scored as follows: Berrien 63, Olson 49, Nicholaus 24, Finlayson 16, Worth 8, Kaufman 2. Toward the end of the season Cotton and Berrien became one of the fastest scoring teams in the conference. The Iowa captain, playing his last year of basketball, did not have an equal in western basketball for ability on the floor. He was a skillful dribbler and a clever dodger, and with his three years of experience, the exemplification of a finished basketball forward. He is given a place in the Iowa's second all-conference five in consideration of his excellent work. Inability to find the iron hoop in the first part of the season prevents his selection (Continued on page 4) CLASS BASKETBALL CONTESTS SCHEDULED Competition between women's class teams in basketball begins next week with the schedule as follows: junior-senior game, Monday 5 p. m.; sophomore-freshman game Tuesday 5 p. m.; final contest between the winners for championship Wednesday 5 p. m. Team captains are: senior, Evelyn Bowen; junior, Reva Meardon, sophomore, Helen Von Lackum; freshman, Cecelia Bowen. Teams will be picked Friday. Women competing for the teams are being given frequent and fast work-outs by Jeanne Lees, director of basket ball, and are hoping for sound support from their fellow classmen at the games. PROFESSOR SOARES DRAMATIZES BIBLE IN HIS LECTURES Vespers' Speaker Lends Special Talent to Book of Job in Many Addresses SPOKE IN CITY LAST YEAR Has Just Returned from the Battle Fields of Europe Where He Was a Chaplain A. E. F. Dramatizing the Bible in an art given to few public men but it is a gift which has been especially vested in Theodore G. Soares, Professor of Religious Education at the University of Chicago, who will address the University Vespers next Sunday afternoon in the natural science auditorium. Professor Soares lends his dramatizing skill largely to the book of Job. Citizens of Iowa City and students of the summer session will doubtless remember Professor Soares as an authority on Job and one whose dramatization caused much favorable comment after his visit to Iowa City last summer. Since his last visit Professor Soares has visited the European battlefields, as chaplain of the American Expeditionary forces, and has a message which has created much favorable comment in cities where it has been delivered. His subject is, "It must Never Happen Again." Professor Soares is a contributor the "Biblical World," and the "American Journal of Theology," and besides has written a number of books on religion. His best seller is, "Lessons from Great Leaders." He was born in Abridge, England and came to America at the age of seventeen. After he had received his A. B. degree from the University of Minnesota in 1891, he was granted his Ph. D. by the University of Chicago three years later, and was ordained into the Baptist ministry the same year. He was pastor in several Illinois towns until 1906 when he became professor of homiletics in the University of Chicago. Two years later he was made head of the department of practical theology. "He is a fine and eloquent speaker and one that grips his audience by the spell of his message," is the tribute paid to the speaker by Professor Patrick who has heard Professor Soares speak numerous times.

Saturday's meet will take place in the gym tank and an admission of 25 cents will be charged. Results of the meet will be telegraphed to each school. Coach Armbruster has asked that the men report to him by Friday afternoon the event in which they will compete. HOLD JOINT MEETING Irving and Erodelphian literary societies held their first joint program and meeting of the year in the liberal arts drawing room Tuesday evening. The program consisted of piano solos, readings, and extemporaneous talks. Doughnuts and apples added to the enjoyment of the meeting. HAROLD CHAMBERLIN IOWA MAN, WINS CROIX DE GUERRE Cited for Bravery During Service With Ambulance at Cambrai WAS PROMINENT AT IOWA He Will Probably Return to Finish His Work at the University Next Year The croix de guerre has been awarded to Harold Chamberlin, former student of the University and a resident of Iowa City. The French citation reads: "A fait preuve de courage et de sang froid dans la nuit due 27 au 28 Octobre 1918, en accomplissant sa mission sous un violent bombardment au cours dequel sa voiture fut completment detruite." 22 Janvier 1919 Petain The translation is: "He has made proof of courage and coolness during the night of the twenty-seventh and twentyeighth of October, 1918, in accomplishing his mission under violent bombardment during which his automobile was completely destroyed." Chamberlin is attached to the French army although he is enlisted in an American ambulance unit. During the period spoken of he was in the Cambrai and St. Quentin region.

He was managing editor of The Daily Iowan, a member of Alpha Tau Omega, and Sigma Delta Chi fraternities, and of the Zetagathian literary societies. NO INCOME TAX FOR IOWA FACULTY Professors and Instructors are Classed as Public Officers and Exempted University professors and instructors need not puzzle their brains for a means of escaping the hated "excise man," who has been scouting around Iowa City for some weeks to see that no citizen escape paying their annual donation to the government for the privilege of earning an income. According to the school of law, the state can not tax its public officers. All instructors in the University of Iowa receive their salaries from the government and are classed as public officers. Therefore, regardless of their excessive incomes, the few instructors who are fortunate in having a surplus, need not worry. Their incomes will not be touched. Those professors, however, who are making additional money from outside sources, may be taxed if their outside income exceeds the limit of exemption, which is $1000 for unmarried men and $2000 for married men with an extra exemption of $200 for every child under 18.
