Prospects for a well balanced team' are about the same as usual, with the exception of the weight events, wherej the material is more than scarce. TheI field events are strong in most de_ partments, and the track events seem to be up to the standard of the past few years.

The latterE is a sophomore, and in the long run looks the best of the three. With such men as Hestor in the 10 yard dash, Leshinsky in the 220,' and Munger and Mueller in the 440, Coach Pafrell is fairly well fixed in the short dashes. In the half mile, Hart, Likkert of the, 1925 championship squad, and Kelly and Monroe of the 1925 fresh- men, seem to be the best. These four also will probably make up the two mile relay. Hart and Likkert were members of the team that broke the Drake relay record last year. The milerun is the weakest of the track events. Leonard is the one that is drawing notice, but too much can-j not be expected of him. He may be in the mile relay, along with Valen- tine and Munger, and a -man yet to be named, but at the present writing it is too early to decide. The squad candidates will practice daily until the start of the Christmas vacation, and any weight men running around the campus will be welcomed, by Coach Farrell. ment of Landis' power. A. A. U.

RECEIVES APPLAUSE (By Associated Press) ASHEVILLE, N. C., Dec. 8.-Com- missioner K. M. Landis, told the Na- tional Association of Professional Baseball leagues today that "it makes no material difference to me whether I am re-elected commissioner of baseball or not." Speaking vigorously and interrupted often by outbursts of applause, the commissioner said that if he was re-elected he would try to perform his duties with the "same im- partiality I have tried to show the past six years." Commissioner Landis appeared be- fore the body by invitation after it' had gone on record' in an executive session during the meeting as en- dorsing him for re-election with no curtailment of authority. "I wish to thank you gentlemen," he said, "for your splendid support in the difficult duties I have been called upon to perform during the past six years. "In my dealings with baseball dur- ing these past six years I have tried to do what seemed to me the fair thing for major leagues, for minor leagues, and most of all for that great unnamed part of the business-the public. "I warn you gentlemen that if I am re-elected and it makes no ,material difference to ine personally whether I am or not, I shall continue to guard the interests of that great unnamed body. On it you depend for support and I shall protect it in every way humanly possible." The commissioner spoke very rap- idly and often seized President Sex- ton's gavel and pounded on the table for emphasis. The minor league own- ers and managers greeted the speech with loud applause and frequent shouts of "attaboy Judge." W. & J.

Vant Deusen occupied the other forward herth in the St. Louis game which the Hawks won 47-15. McConnell, all- Conference guard last year, and Cap- tain Hogan, who is a trifle less bril- liant, will be the regular guards and lend a great amount of stability to the Hawkeye team. This is Fewell's first year with the varsity. At Purdue, Coach Lambert is still looking for a good forward to take the place of George Spradling, high scorer of last season, who was lost by graduation. Other men who ,vere lost include Harmeson, Neuman and Cramer, all dependable men. How- ever, a nucleus for a strong quintet remains in "Cotton" Wilcox, star of the Boilermaker grid team,,at floor guard, Captain Wright at standing guard, and Wheeler, another letter man, at forward.
