PURDUE HEADS ASSERT DIETZ ADMITS CHARGE Contract Not Renewed With Coach as Result of Information From Northwest. PLAYER OFFERS ALLEGED BY THE UNITED PRESS. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 20.—Purdue University will not renew its contract with Coach William Dietz because be is said to have offered 5190 a month to certain Pacific coast football players If they would attend Purdue, Henry W. Marshall, acting president and members of the faculty said in a statement issued here today. The statement srid Dietz had confessed to the charges of Prof. Leslie Ayers, chairman of the faculty athletic committee of the University of Washington, who said the coach had offered financial in■ducement to the players. Dietz previouslly had denied the assertions in a statement to the United Press and said he ■had not conferred with Marshall regardpng the matter. I The statement issued by Marshall in conjunction with the athletic committee and the athletic director follows: ‘‘On Jan. 16 a telegram was received from Professor Leslie J. Ayers, chairman of the faculty athletic committee of the University of Washington, Seattle, saying that Richard Hanley, ns the representative of Coach Dietz, had offered financial inducement to several high school athletes on the Pacific Coast to play football at Purdue Lniversity An investigation was immediately started end Prof. Ayers was asked to forward Information in his possession which might aid in this investigation. A second telegram was received from Pro lessor Ayers containing information fhich seems conclusive. “Two interviews were had with Mr Dietz in which he admitted the truth Os the substance of the charges, differ Eng in some minor points. Acting Pres I lent Henry W. Marshall then sent the following telegram to Professor Ayers with the concurrence of the faculty committee of athletics and Athletic Director ■Kellogg: “Telegram of yesterday received.

Thank rou cordially for information. Letter follows.” Loss of Thirteen Players Fails to Worry A 7 . /). Coach New Back Field Expected to Be Built Around Desck and Castner. By HENRY L. FARRELL. NEW YORK, Jan 20.—Loss of thirteen first-string players would suggest bankruptcy at a way out for most football coaches. If not desperate, the situation at least would be regarded as critical. Knute Rockne, Notre Dame's “miracle man,” is not even puckering a brow over this plight. “We’ll be there with another winner next year,” Rockne said at the recent meeting of football coaches here. After a glimpse at Rockne's record, his outward calm cannot be taken as an assumption of bravado. ■When the great George Glpp died after the 1920 season, the sages pronounced—- “ There goes Notre Dame.” But the Hoosiers came East last year with an even greater team, one that was ■pronounced the finest seen around the ■Atlantic seaboard. ( When Rockne says he Is not worried, lit means something, and when he goes 3 >ut and books games with Nebraska, ■the Army and Indians and runs after B owa for another game, it means more. ■ Prominent among the thirteen that BwHl leave the university in June are ■Kiley and Anderson, the greet pair of ■flankers, and Johnny Mohardt. the bril■jiiant pass throwing back. Mohardt is ■going to Harvard to study medicine, but She will not be eligible for participation Bn varsity athletics. J Rocken probably will build his back ■field around Gtis Desch, the world s ■champion hurdler and one of the fastest ■running backs ever seen on the gridiron, land Paul Castner, the ambidextrous |passer, two-footed kicker and brilliant |open field runner. | When the Notre eDame team came East last fall, Desch and Castner were rated as substitutes. After the brand of football they showed against Rutgers, the critics said: “Great gosh, if they are substitutes, what can the regulars do!” Castner throws with either hand and kicks with either foot. He is a great Eunter and a shorpshoot'-r at drop Icking. Rockne expects to build a bewildering attack around this star tripiethreater. The 1922 eleven probably will be composed of the 1922 substitutes, but what applied to Desch and Castner as subs holds good for nearly every second string man Rockne shot In during the Army and Rutgers games. No wonder they aren't perturbed at Notre Dame.

Finley and Dalton Fight to Draw in Eight Fast Rounds Frankie Nelson and Sidney Glick Winners—Show Pleases Fans. By UEZE CLARK. In eight fast rounds Jimmy Finley of Louisville, lightweight title claimant of Kentucky, fought Jimmy Dalton of Indianapolis to a draw in the main bout of the Ft. Benjamin Harfisoh boxing show last night. It was a fight in.which both boxers battled every second of the time In each round. It was difficult for the referee to break them apart and the crowd yelled Its approval of one of the best boxing contests seen in the Hoosier State in many a day. The boxers fought carefully In the first round, but opened up In the second. The defense of borh Finley and Dalton was so good that it was difficult for e'ther to land many blows until the bout bad go-ie four rounds. It was a whirlwind fight from start to finish and the boxers clinched time and again. There was nothing te cnoose between them In the first six rounds, all of which were a draw. Dalton had a slight shade in the seventh round and Finley had a slight edge over the Indianapolis boxer in the eighth round. In one of the most clever boxing evictions of any of the Ft. Harrison shows, Frankie Nelson of Indianapolis received a decision over Jack Mendoza of Ft. Harrison. Tie boxers weighed In at 125 ' pounds. Neb >n watched closely and guarded his Jaw from Mendoza’s famous knockout punch. Both boys proved to be clever and the first three rounds of the six rounds were even. Nelson opened up an attack In the fourth and fifth rounds, Jabbing Mendoza's nose repeatedly, but lacked the steam In his punch to hair the soldier. Mendoza came back strong in the last round and opened up a slashing series of right and left s'that made that one round Mendoza’si The decision was close, but Nelson carried the tight to Mendoza In the fourth and fifth rounds so well that he clearly earned the decision. Sidney Click, an Indianapolis lightweight boxer, so clearly outclassed Tom Butfcb-In a four-round'preliminary bout that the match was stopped in the fourth round, Click won all the way In each round; Busch’s swings failed to break through Click's defense and Busch was outpointed and outclassed. Teddy Dixon and J mmy Tamascllo mixed it in four fast round in the first j preliminary. The bout was a draw.

NEW DRAFT IS NOT DESIRED Three Big Minor Leagues Line Up Against Latest Major Offer. By JACK VEIOCR. NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—A new plan for drafting players from nondrafting leagues will be rejected by the three chief minor lengne organizations. The Pacific Coast League, In annual session at San Francisco early in the week, went on record as opposed to any resumption of drafting. Next Wednesday the American Asvocia rion will hold a special meeting In Chicago and the International News Service received news today that the big Midwest mtnor will vote to stand pat on its re jectlon During a recent conference of the powers that be In Chicago It was hinted that the Association lined up to accept the new proposal, but since that time the wind has veered the other way. The International League, which meets here In February to adopt a playing schedule, will follow the lead of the Pacific Coast League and turn down the proposal which raise- the draft price • f Class A A players to $7,500 and makes other concessions not included In the old system. John Conway Toole, president of the International League, said today the draft question will no doubt be discussed when his league meets, but was silent, regarding probable action. The fact that the Internationa! Leaguers recently turned the draft down flat and that a ninjority of the owners are against it indicated what action will bo taken when the league meets. Talk of the draft question revived by the action ot the Pacific Coast League, Is growing scarcer ns time goes on A good many smart baseball men believe that it is far from being as important ns some have made it seem and tHat it has been overplayed. Many say it should be forgotten for a couple of years, in which event. It Is predicted, It would die a natural death. Commissioner K. M. Landis, however, attaches great Importance to the draft and will bond every effort to have all minors return to It. VICTOR SEERS BOUTS.
