Illinois - Nebraska Game October 6 Fourth in History of Two Universities. - » - c*_________ Cornhuskers Won All Three Contests From Illini—Games Were Played on Lincoln Field * ' i When Nebraska and Illinois get together at Urbana October 6, next, for the opening football conflict of the season, it will be the fourth game in the history of the two universities. And Illinois lias yet to win from the Huskers. The Illinois invaded Cornhuskerland three consecutive years, 1903 04 05. Those were the days of Coach W. C. (Buinmy) Booth’s regime. The first game in 1903 ended 16 to 0 with Nebraska on the best end. It was played on Thanksgiving day and closed an all-victorious season for the Huskers. Illinois had the best of the yardage gained in scrimmage during the first half. A half in those days lasted 35 minutes without a stop. Illinois was in position for a place kick from the field when the half ended and according to a report of the game, the whistle probably saved the Huskers from being scored on. A “chalk plate" chart of the game drawn by Herbert Johnson, now a cartoonist for the Saturday Evening Post, illustrated the account of the game. Nebraska slaughtered the visitors in the second half. Wilson, Nebraska right end*and Csfpt. Rothgeb, Illinois right tackle, starred. Tho Illini were never within Nebraska’s 20-yard line. The lineups: N'rlira.kii. Illinois.

Wilson and Bell. Bender kicked one goal after touchdown. 11)01 (iaint* Hard One. Tho 1004 gsune was the hardest which Illinois ever put tin against the Huskers. It was a kind fate which smiled on the Buskers that day and ns a result they withdrew with the best end of a ill to 10 score. This was another Thanksgiving day game. It was in that game that Johnny Bender- suddenly darted out of a scrimmage pile on his own 20-yard line and raced SO yards to a touch down. Illinois scored also in the first half, but Moynlhan failed to kick goal. The half ended 7 to 0 for Ne braska. Mo.vnihan’s grief over his failure to kick goal after touchdown seemed to break the morale of the entire Illinois team. They managed to score again, but Moynlhan again failed to kirk goal. Nebraska lint over two more touchdowns. Benedict, Bender. Johnson and Eager were the outstanding stars for Nebraska. Eager made two of Nebraska’s touchdowns and Bonder the other. Benedict kicked one goal after touch down. The lineups: N FIIKASK \. II.I.lVUIS. Benedict (cl ,. . K. K. lint Intel. t ntlnii It. T.Moynlhan Mill. K b. I leaner HofK ( . . lla»PlW04Ml Hunter .

Illinois drew first blood when Cap tain Moynlhan intercepted a pass, which Benedict threw into space, anil the Illinois captain ran 45 yards to a touchdown. Fumbles cost Illini any chances it might have had to win. The day was very cold and Brooks, visiting quarterback, could not get hold of punts.

Chicago, Jan. 7.—Jake Schaefer, former world's 18.2 balk line cham pion, because of his greater experi JAKE SCHAEFER cnce, was given the edge by bil Hard enthusiastc tonight over Rog er Conti, chant pio of France, in tlieir 1,500 point match w hi c it opens here to morrow’ night, While Schaefer was the popular choice, it was admitted that he will be forced to display his * bent wares to defeat the Frenchman and win the right to meet William F. Hoppe of New York, present champion. Both men are said to he in tiptop shape for the match. Young Schaefer, whose phenomenal play in the Chicago tournament in 1921 unseated Hoppe as champion, did not display the same form in the New York tournament last fall when Hoppe regained tho honors. In tlie New' York event, Schaefer and Conti performed about on a par, each win ning three games and losing two. Conti, who made his first tournament appearence here in 1921, did not come through amonk the three first, hut created a sensation by defeating Schaefer, 400 to 203, a reverse which eventually threw Schaefer into a tie with Hoppe, necessitating a playoff. In the New York tournament, how ever, Schaefer came back by w inning from Conti, 500 to 251, tho present match marking the third meeting of the two cueists in a' championship event. They will play 500 points on each of three nights, winding up tho match Wednesday.

Those who did not have the opportunity of seeing one of the five brothers in action have been i told of their greatness. And | the greatest of the Benedict brothers j was Morris. Not only greatest of his family but considered the best ail around athlete ever produced at the university. And with Nebraska's ath letic history this place is one of which ' any man should be proud. TIip Benedict brut hers were all athletes, with Itaymond and Mor ris winning the greatest recogni tion.

I-ong before Morris even started liis sensational high school ath letic career, 1 lie name of Benedict was familiar to all university football teams. Before him eame Harry- in 1894. While he was not so great as a grid player, Harry Benrdiet did star with the, base ball team. Two liomeriins won one of Hie big games for Ne braska. And it was Harry Bene dict's bat wliirli clouted these necessary runs. He is now a pro fessor of botany at Cincinnati uni versity. Next came Bruce, who was also closely Identified with athletics. He is now editor of one of the leading engineering periodicals of the country. Itaymon-1 was next in order. He is considered next to Guy Chamberlain in ability to run with the ball.

Jess Willard Springs New One on Fight Promoters of Country Kansas City, Jan. 7.—Jess Willard, former heavyweight boxing champion, declared his willingness here today to meet any fighters pro moters may name, to convince them that he is entitled to meet Jack Dempsey, for the world title.

F\V YORK, ,lan. 7 Bearded For ty Miners who in ' nled Californio " ith pick, shovel and wash pan in search of sold "ere rank unia tours in the laud able art of mak ing money when compared v i t li the present generation of Native Buns who hold franchises in tlio Pacific Coast league. Every day, in every way, these worthy gentlemen are growing richer and richer, and the really unique angle of the proposition is that there is no physical labor in volved beyond the admittedly annoy ing gesture of endorsing the checks as fast as Uiey come in. This in time is hound to become a lilt fatiguing, but otlierwl.se the life is endurable. " The same may he said of Rockefeller's existence. John, however, must sell many bar rels of oil to make a million dollars. Not so tlie Coast leaguers. They mere ly sell a ball player or two and then sit back and wait for the next east ern sap. The wait is seldom lengthy enough to become actually tedious, and the financial return is always worth it. anyhow. • Why Rob Ranks? Nearly $500,000 has found its way into California from the tnnjor leagues within the last 12 months. It has gone west in a sleady golden stream, and In return Coast league ball players liavo co^iie east in droves. When it comes down to a question of baseball finance this body is the only major league in the field. And the end is not yet. Indeed, though they may protest volubly, ev ery eastern magnate is looking to tlio Coast league for star prospects and is willing to pay the tariff because lie knows he lias no alternative. "Why rob banks or hold up trains" ' one of them remarked aggrievedly the other day. “These come under the head of hazardous occupations. All you have to do is become a minor league magnate, preferably in .Cali fornia, develop a star, invite tlio scouts around to look him over; then sit back, open the bids and endorse the biggest check." • Players tome High. This, as a rule, is reasonably laty The White Box. for instance, are said to have paid Salt Francisco $120,000 for.Willie Ivamni; the Giants gave tlie same club $75,000 for Jimmy O'Con- ™ tiell-. and the purchase of Jake May from Vernon is believed to have thrown the Yanks for a loss of $100. 000.' In addition, Connie Mack is al leged to have paid Portland $75,000 for Sam Hale, and a pair of mere $50,000 drafts found their way into Seattle and Salt Lake City, respec tively, as payment for Sands and Mack. The donors were the While Sox and the Phillies. Other transactions of minor im portance, ranging in size from $3,000 to $20,000, have been completed dur ing the year just closed, and a con servative estimate would place the entire turn over of money from the majors to the Coast league at $750,000. A portion of the payment is made in players waived out of the big leagues, and the amusing part of the whole business is that these discards are taken up l}y the Coast league, dusted off very carefully and shipped back east, at a prohibitive price, the following season, labeled "New." Suzanne Nearly Meets Conqueror Sans, France, Jan. 7.—Suzanno Len glen deflated Mrs. Satterthwaite of England, in the finals of the women's singles at the Cunnes lawn tennis tour nament today. She won in two sets, 6-4, 6 2, but against stubborn opposi tion such as she has seldom met. In the first set. indeed, with tho English woman leading at four games to two, Jllle. Lenglen looked like a loser; but her play laid become ragged. She took the first game but her drives lacked length and speed, her service was poor and her usual un canny placements were lacking. Mrs. Satterthwaite, overcoming her stage fright, carried the next two games. Ml’.e. Lenglen made it two all, but the English woman rallied again and took the next two by ini' nervy play. Suzanne then- steadied down and won tile two games after each had gone to deuce. Tho champion’s superior condition told in tlie second set. After tho score had reached two games all, Mrs. Satterthwaite weakened and Suzanno took four games in a row. Spectators remarked that never, since Miss Kathleen McKane carried Mile. Lenglen to a score of 10-8 In the first set of the llrussels tourna ment last May, had tho French star been no evenly matched. Mrs. Setter thwaite ranks number five on the Knplinh women's ranking list, coming after Miss McKane. Mrs. I.amber!, Mrs. Chambers and Mrs. M. Beamish. Former Fluskers Play Under 0. A. C.
