Iowa's Baseball Team Promises To Be Champions of Conference
Hawkeye Nine Takes Every Game so Far This Season-Michigan is Strong
PITCHERS ARE ABUNDANT
Iowa Has Three Dependable Men for Pitcher's Box-Olson Works Well as Catcher
     With three conference games taken and all the state games in the win column Coach Jones' baseball team has an excellent chance to win the conference championship. Michigan looms up as a serious contender for the title and is the team that the Hawkeyes must beat in order to reach the top.

     When the call was sent out for candidates seven men from last year's team were present as a nucleus for this spring's machine. Olson, Ehred, Goodwin, Capt. Brown, Parrott, Hamilton, and Belding, were the players on had. Coe was the first team the Hawkeyes met, and this game resulted in a win by a score of 5 to 2. Crawford, a colored athlete, was largely instrumental in winning this game for his hits sent across the runs that won. He has been showing up well in center field.
Chicago Downed
     Iowa played the first conference game with Chicago after only a few practices on a rain soaked field. In a close game Iowa nosed out the victor by a 6 to 5 score. Hamilton pitched this game and held the Maroons to five hits. Coe came here for the second game, and Iowa again featured by the hitting of Ehred who hurled for Iowa and his first game marked him as material for conference games. Cornell made the Hawks go ten innings to win by a 4 to 3 score. Loose playing by Jones' team and opportune hits by Byerly's enabled them to tie the score. Goodwin broke up the game in the tenth by a single to right. Rain prevented the playing of the other Coe games.
     Iowa took two more conference games on the eastern trip to Purdue and Illinois. Purdue was forced to bow to Hamilton in a 7 to 6 tilt, featured by the hitting of Ahred who slammed out four safe hits. McIlree pitched his first conference game and held the Boilermakers to six hits.
     In the Illinois mix, Hamilton gave the Urbana players but four safe hits and these were well scattered. Iowa came out on top in this game by a one run margin (the third time), the score being 4 to 3. With the Illinois team out of the way as a championship contender the only team that should worry the Hawkeyes is Michigan and a real series should result when the two hook up in their scheduled games. Iowa held them to a one run margin last year so chances for a win this season look favorably well. 
Lineup is Shifted
     During the last few games Coach Jones has shifted his lineup with the hope of getting the best team offensively possible from his material. Olson has replaced Muckler in the catching position, and the former first baseman is doing first class work. Cockshoot is playing first base, while Bink has played the last three games at second. Belding, a veteran hurler from last year, has not pitched a game yet but will probably be given his chance the next game. With three dependable pitchers and the team hitting at its present average, Iowa should give all opposing teams the best of competition. Ames has a veteran team and their win over Chicago makes them formidable in the pair of

games that the two teams play. The first of these games will be played at Ames next week.

IOWA TRACK SQUAD TO ENTER DUAL MEET WITH GOPHER TEAM
Coach and Men Handicapped in Practice by Bad Weather and Muddy Track
TITUS ALMOST RECOVERED
Wallen Betters Conference Record in Shot Put-Brigham Good in High Jump
     With the track season half over and the hardest meets of the schedule yet to come Coach Jack Watson is priming his squad of cinder men for the dual meet with Minnesota at Minneapolis next Saturday. Little is known of the strength of the Gopher team but it is known that they have a crack miler and two miler and a star hurdler. Outside of these men Coach Watson does not know what the Gophers have to spring in the Hawkeyes.
     With an even chance of winning the Gopher meet, Watson will send men along faster than at any time this season. The track has been put in excellent shape and the weather is more favorable for track. Watson has been unable to work his men as much as he desires on account of the wet track, and the chances of injuring the men on a treacherous track has been a handicap.
     After the Gopher meet comes the dual with Ames on Iowa field. Last year the Hawkeyes managed to drown the Farmers by a close margin. Following the Ames meet, the state meet will attract the attention of the Iowa thinly clads and in order to duplicate the feat of last spring the Hawks will have to perform their best
     The las tevent on the Iowa schedule will be the meet in Chicago of the conference schools. Several men will be sent to this meet but at present it is not known who will make up the squad.
Kostlan a New Hurdler
     Titus, who was spiked a few weeks ago, is now almost ready to take his place in the dashes and his presence will add to the strength of the dash men. He is recovering rapidly and with the treatments being handed out by the coach he should be in shape to participate in the Gopher meet. Hayes and Kostlan are developing into good hurdlers. Kostlan is coming fast and he should hold his own with the best hurdlers he will meet. Watson has done wonders with this athlete for not until this spring did he attempt to make a hurdler out of himself.
     Mockmore, Slater and Whipple are throwing the hammer and all look to be comers in this event. Sheedy has developed into a crack javelin thrower and he can be counted upon to place in any meet. Wallen still continues to put the shot for a good distances and at the rate he is going he should place first in his event. The best that was done at the conference meet and at the Penn relays was but a few inches over 40 feet while Wallen has bettered this mark by four feet. In Slater and Mockmore, Watson has a pair of weight men who with Wallen form a reliable trio of weight performers. Brigham in the high jump can be counted a point winner for he has done close to six feet without extending himself. Several men on last year's team have been ineligible but may be able to remove the conditions in time to come out and strengthen the squad. Both relay teams are making better tie than they made at Drake when they took third place.
     Coach Dutton of the freshman team has a good squad out every night which includes several star performers whom Watson may be able to develop into good varsity material.

Football Prospects For Next Season Exceptionally Bright
Hawkeyes Have Encouraging Outlook for Grid Season-Lose Several Good Men
LOHMAN WILL LEAD ELEVEN
Iowa Faces One of Stiffest Schedules in Years-Much Good New Material
     Spring football is being developed in a manner that looks as if the Hawkeyes are to have another banner season in the fall. Practice has been held in the gymnasium during the winter, and work has been begun outside when the weather has been fit.
     Although several of last year's star performers will be missing from the lineup for next season enough of last season's team and the new material available will guarantee a team that should be a better machine than the one developed by Coach Jones last year.

     Indications point toward the Hawkeyes having one of the strongest lines in the west. The forward wall of the Iowa team was the main factor in the success of the team last season and this again will undoubtedly be a feature in the Iowa team for the coming year. Captain Reed, All Western end, of this year's eleven, will be lost by graduation, but new candidates are expected to fill the position capably. Charlton who played on the Cleveland Naval Reserve will be a strong candidate for this place and Pyles from the 1917 team and E. E. Smith from last year's team are bound to be in the race for the wing vacancy.
     Although Synhorst, one of the best tackles in the west, will be missing, there are several candidates who show promise of making good linemen. Wallen of the track team, Kaufman, Block from last year's team, all possess the ear marks of good tackles. Slater, the giant from last year, will be back for the other tackle position. Hunselman, an All Western guard from last year's line, may be out again next year unless a heavy schedule in the medical college prohibits him from playing football.
     Heldt, who developed into one of the best centers Iowa ever had, will be back again; Cumberland also will go out for the position. Bowelsby, who played with the Naval Reserve team and who held a guard position on the Iowa team before entering the navy, is back in school and can be figured to bolster up the forward defense. Belding, who was one of the best kickers in the west, will undoubtedly be playing end during the coming season. With a field of candidates numbering twenty Coach Jones cannot help but have a line that will stand up against the strong offenses that will have to be met in the season's play.
     In Lohman, the new captain, Iowa has without a doubt the best fullback in the west and a line plunger that will make the Iowa backfield rank with the best in the conference. He was given a place on the second All Western team last year. Sykes, who won his letter his first year out, will give Jones an ideal player for a halfback.
     Scott and Donnelly, who played the halves during the past year, were lost by graduation, but the new material available can be figured upon to fill the places vacated by these stars. Parker, a halfback from last year, should make a back that will fit in nicely with the other backfield men. He showed up well in the games he played last year. Aubrey and Glenn Devine, former West High athletes, should give Jones a pair of backfield men that will round out the oval quartet. These lads played good football in high school and much is being expected from them the coming year.

A SERVICE MESSAGE
Common Sense and A Savings Account
     Ninety per cent of our financial worries are caused by the habit of walking on the edge of our incomes; by failure to leave a margin between income and outgo.
     Those who leave the creation of this margin to an increase in income will probably continue to have financial worries.
     Those who adopt the sure way of decreasing the outgo of spending less than they earn and banking the balance are sure to arrive.
     For putting by a surplus you can't beat common sense and a savings account.
