a _——-lhe Umaha Dee: rrmay, uciooer u, Stage Is Set for Lincoln High’s Trip to Omaha for Annual Gridiron Contest Everything Is Ready for Game e | .— Lincoln and Tech Teams Are Evenly Matched in Weight. The stage is all set and the cus tomers are all ready for the clash be tween the l.ineoln High school and Technical High school here Saturday. The Technical High gridsters are un defeated so far this season and Lin coin High representatives have been just as fortunate. Lincoln's coming will be the su> preme test for the Tech boys. They have played excellent football so far this season and look in wonderful shnpe tor the coming struggle. Lin coln has three victories marked up on tlie scoreboard, one over South High, 9 to 0; one over Kearney, 27 to 0, and osie ovei# Alliance, 84 to 0. Some representatives of the defeat ed schools insist that the contests liaxe not been a fair standard of judgment, that in all games but tho one. with South High, the Lincolnltes have outclassed and outweighed their opponents. # Th^t cannot be held as a reason for defeat on either side in Saturday's contest. The two teams weigh al most egual amounts and neither out classes the other by more than a jliade. Both play an excellent brand of football. l.ineoln. Fua. TechnJesl. Mclnyro. 140 -L. E..187.

Six Horses Barred on Third of Contest Rochester K, V., Oct. 18. — Six horses were barred or withdrawn be fore or during the third lap of the 1923 national 300-mile endurance con test at Avon today. With Nintu dis qualified yesterday, sixteen remain ing entries will take the road tomor row. The stlffest course in the history of the endurance rides was respon sible for the first big gap in the ranks of the entries, officials said. Kildare, a big gray gelding, one of the Irish hunters entered by Herbert .1. Brown of Portland. Me., made a gallant fight to atay in the running but was ruled out after breasting 38 miles of rocky hills Vagrant, an army thoroughbred, ridden by MaJ. J. M. Wainwrlght, dt-opped out at the four-mile mark early this morning. The contest is narrowing down to a fight hetween the army thorough breds and the Morgans ridden by cow punchers under H, E. Fretz. Two Morgans. Dude and Chub, were out before the ride started thil rrfornlng. The former did not start and the latter waa withdrawn two miles out. Red Cloud, a stablemate, is said to be hopelessly late, and Fair lAdy. also a Morgan, was withdrawn at the start because of lameness. The necessity for withdrawing Fair Lady came as a mild sensation because the mare finished strongly yesterday. ’All other entries finished what was **id to be a heart breaking course within nine hours, the minimum time limit. The absence of time penalties considering the number of with drawals, marked another feature in the history of the rides. The breeds that showed exceptional weariness today are the Anglo-Arabs and the Irleh-huntere, both being seen to pant heavily on the hills. My Own Goes to Belmont Washington, Oct. 18.—Hear Ad mlral Cary T. Grayson's My Own ■will be shipped tomorrow morning to the Belmont park track, where Zev and Papyrus are scheduled to race Saturday, according to word re ceived here from Laurel, where the colt Is now quartered. My Own has been selected tb race Papyrus In the event Zev Is considered unfit to com pete. Admiral Grayson expressed his In tention of transferring his colt to the New York track, the message said, after he had telephone conversation with August Belmont, one of those arranging for Saturday's Internation al race. August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey club, declared this afternoon that the shipment, of My Own to Belmont park did not mean that Zev would be withdrawn from the Inter national match Saturday. He ex / plained that Hear Admiral Cary T. Grayson's colt would be ready to sub stitute for the Rencoacos star In ac cordance with the selection of My Own as the flrat alternate. New Yerfc.Oe*.

Great‘’Britain’8 Amateur Golf Champ - ---———————-— Here’s the big cup emblematic of the British amateur golf championship, and with it Roger H. Withered, who won cup and title at Deal on May 12. Records of Zev and Papyrus Give American Horse The Shade Yankee Hope Has Eight Wins to His Credit in Last Year While English Entry Can Only Claim Three, and One of Those Was a Default. By AhiwIiM Press. New York, Oct. 17.—Comparison of the 8-year-old records of Zev and Papyrus show that the American star has made a much more Impressive showing than mis rival. Zev haa won eight out of nine starts this season, conquering all of his leading rivals at varying weights and distances, with the exception of My Own, while Papyrus has won In three out of five starts. The classics of America and Britain, however, fall to each, Zev capturing the Kentucky Derby while Papyrus was victor at Epsom Downs. | Zev’s only defeat this season was In the rich Preakness, In which the Rancocas entry finished twelfth after a bad start. Besides the Kentucky derby which carried with It a money prize of $53,*26, Zev's most important victories were in the Withers and Belmont stakes, against strong fields, and in the I*wrence ReallzatlQii. which was the first of two official trials for American candidates for the international race. My own won the second trial, the national sweepstakes, but Zev was chosen by the Jockey club when efforts to match the two horses in a final test failed. Papyrus, besides taking the English derby, won the Chester Vase and the Duke of York stakes, being awarded first place in the |atter when Craig Elegyr, which finished first, whs disqualified. Papyrus was beaten In the 2,000 guineas and finished second In the St. Leger, his last race. As a 2-year-old Zev won five out of 12 races, while Papyrus won six out of eight. ■ The American horse has earned a total of $174,93*.34, of which more than $150,000 haa been gfeined this seaaon. Papyrus' total earnings amount to 17,883 pounds. Papyrus Runs. Papyrus, with Donoghue up. had an easy gallop of six furlongs yesterday, but is slated for a final atiff prepara tory test tomorrow morning, probably at a mile and a half, the distance of the international race. Donoghue, sitting erect, and hold ing a long rein in contrast to the cus tomary American style of riding, got his first survey of Belmont track, oq which he will match his riding wits with Earl Sande, leading American Jockey, In the big race. The little English Jockey seemed pleased with the condition of Papyrus, which he piloted to a derby triumph at Epsom Downs. Basil Jarvis, trainer of Papyrus, re moved tonight the last hope that the Derby winner, if victorious over Zev, might accept the $50,000 ofTer of the Maryland State Fair association for a race at a mile and a half with My Own, Zev's rival for American 3 year old honor at laurel track on Thurs day of next week. ''All being well. Papyrus will re t definite and final.'’ Zev's workout, a mile and a quar ter In 2:09, fell short of the expecta tions of some observers, to whom Hie horse's slow finish wnjj disappointing, but general belief prevailed that the Uancoeas star purposely was eased up after showing a brilliant burst of speed In the first few furlongs. Zev covered the first half In the remark ably good time of 47 seconds flat and was clocked In 1:13 2 5 for the six furlongs. Thereafter. Jockey D. Fator, who had- the leg up, restrain ed the colt, turning the mile In 1:39 4 5, nine furlongs In 1:54 and finish ing the mile and a quarter In 2:09. “The work was all right," declar ed Ham Hildreth, Rancocae trainer. “I told Fator to give Zev a mil# In about 1:40 and let him go on a quar ter farther without ’hunching' him. That’s what he did and I’m satisfied with the colt's showing.” Critics pointed out that while Zev haa not shown marked stamina In hla workouts, he haa proved that he re tains all the speed that carried him to sensational victory during the sea son. At the end of today's workout Hie colt seemed strong, tugging st the bit and not "all out” as he ap peared after a trial last Sunday. Racing Records of Zev and Papyrus RANCOC’A’S STABI.ES ZEV.

No Alibi if Blue and White Loses Every Effort Being Made to Perfect Working of Squad. If Creighton loses to South Dakota State college at Brookings next Satur day the Blue and White will have no alibi to offer. Coach Chet Wynne of the Creigh ton varsity is leaving no stone un turned in the preparation for the coming contest. Cast night the squad was sent through a tough scrimmage with Coach McUann's freshmen. The Frosh used South Dakota State piaya and didn’t make much headway against the well-drilled varsity. Scenting an aerial attack for Satur day has caused Coach Wynne to work the Blue and White grid warriors overtime. Completing and breaking up forward passes have occupied much of the varsity’s time thus far this week. Just who will do the flipping against the Jackrabbits is not known. Wynne Is giving all the backfleld men a trial, but judging from the work outs, Yechout, Mahoney and Fits gibbons will be called on to deliver the leather oval through the ozone. Yechout ia one of the best forward passers on the Creighton fleld. Ma honey is at his best when he is In the act of hauling the ball out of the air. Ike Is good at catching passes and is a hard man to bring down after he once wrapa his arm around the ball. Coach Baldrige of the linemen has been giving hia proteges more train ing in their deparlment of the game. A strong forward wail, one that can keep the opposition at hay while the tackfleld gets in motion, Is worth Its weight in gold to a football team and Baldrige expects to have a strong line to send against the Jackrabbits. In the game against the Aggies last Saturday the right side of the Creighton line appeared weak. This was where the Farmers directed most of their line plays. The weakness on the part of the Creighton right side of the line was due, to a certain ex tent, to Captain McAleer’s condition. The Blue captain was In the game, playing his best, with two broken ribs. The real strength of the Creighton team Is unknown, even to the Coach es. Creighton has played three games and each time it took »the fleld the grid was muddy, /ttirky and slippery, and good football was impossible. Should a dry fleld greet the Creighton pigskin chasers Saturday It is hard telling what will happen to Jack West and his South Dakota Jackrabbits. Coach Potsy Clark of Kansas uni verslty and Coach Bachman of the Aggies were surprised at the epeeo of the Creighton backfleld on a muddy fleld. Mahoney, Yechout, Spelcher and Fitzglbhon* ar» four mighty fast men. especially Mahoney and Fltzgibbons. Both are good open held runners and deadly tackier*. Bertoglio. another backfleld man, is a hard line plunger, but Isn't a* fast as Yechout. Coach Wynne will send his men through another scrimmage today and brush the squad up on its aerial at taek Friday. The team leave* Frl day^night for Brookings. Cage Practice at Creighton Official basket ball practice for the coming cage season was ushered in on the Creighton gymnasium floor last night when Coach and Athletic Director A. A. Schabinger started whipping 25 candidates for the Blue and White varsity quintet Into con dition for the schedule. , Among the veterans who answered the call were Lovely, captain; Traut man and llaley. all forwards; Ma honey, renter, arid Spelcher, guard, are members of the football team and are unable to report for practice un til the grid season closes. Among the promising freshmen who were out in their abbreviated coatume* were Ryan and Bhlnstock. centers. Many other f-eahincn reported for practice Coach Schabinger loses but one veteran of the 1923 season. This play er I* Paynter, guard. Competition for his place as well as the other places on the squsd will be keen.

LINCOLN, Oct. IS.—The University of Nebraska will dedicate its great Memorial stadium with elaborate ceremony next Saturday. The pro gram includes a parade, which will be composed of the It. O. T. C., Nebraska and Kansas rooters, and Nebraska and Kansas bands, an exer cises at the stadium where Chancellor Avery and C. R. Richards, president of Lehigh university, will speak. It is expected that 20,000 persons board of administration of the 1. ni will attend the football match be tween Nebraska and Kansas, which will follow the dedication exercises, many of them alumni returning to their university for homecoming.

S. D„ Oct. 18—Although the game with Northern normal of Aberdeen showed that Huron is fast developing a strong outfit and that improvement has been very rapid, the Scalpers feel that the homecom ing battle with Yankton college here on Pow Wow day tomorrow will be a difficult contest. Yankton has al ways made up In fight for any de ficiency In weight or experience and can he counted on to do their best against Huron, old rivals on the field. Since Huron's line is strong and will present an excellent defense against the lighter Yankton line, an aerial attack is expected, coupled perhaps with many trick plays and end runs. Coach Idem hss been train ing his men for defense in this style of play and the Greyhounds will find the Scalpers adepf at breaking up passes and stopping end runs. Hu ron's ends, Undsey and Thompson, played a great game at Aberdeen, especially in defense. The Scalpers are also Improving In the passing game, completing, nine out of 17 passes at Aberdeep last week. Con siderable time has been given to tills style of play, but K will not l>e used extensively against Yankton. Coach I.iem'smien are in good ron dltlon 111 spile of the hard grueling at Aberdeen last week one or two men were out of practice the first of the week because of slight Injuries hut are now In again. The lineup re mains practically the same as in both previous games, though the conilie tltion is still very keen and several first-string nun are being crowded for their positions. j It is felt that the weakness of the ; backfleld was responsible for the losses at Aberdeen, but the backfleld men sie Improving daily, with more experience and practice, and will be in'much better form for the game to morrow.

Hardest Game of Season Tomorrow Rapid City, S. D., Oct. IS —Confi dent that one of the hardest games of the season Is awaiting them tomor row. the School of Mines football squad Is hard at work preparing for the tilt with Columbus College of Sioux Falls on the local field. The Columbus Mariners are looked upon as strong contenders for confer ence honors this fall. Two weeks ago they trimmed Sioux Kalis college 2* to 0, while the best that Dakota Wes leyan could do against Sioux t alls was 14 to 6. Smarting from their defeat by Ne braaka State Normal at Chadron. Oc tober 5. by a IS to h score, the Mines squsd realizes that it Is up to them to make a good showing tomorrow In its first conference game. The outlook at the Mines school is not overly bright, according to Coach B. R. Schroeder. Van Alstine, guard.

Martin, half, and tiadski and Mortland. ends, are nursing injuries Cripples and bad weather mad* progress slow this last week. Numerous weaknesses were re vealed In the rhadron game Among these, poor interference of the back fleld and failure of the lines to open up holes were the most noticeable and ar«* causing Coach Schroeder and Assistant Coach Card the most worry. However, they are optimistic that the weak spots were such ss are al ways noted In the first game of the season and that their aquad, although inexperienced and of only medium weight, will give a good account of Itself.

With the hat buyer it’s different: he wants something "in the rough” — one of those comely Lanpher novelties like the Lantrok, that are favored by the young fel lows this season. Any food hatter will ahow you the naw LANPHER HATS ScUimHed Spotlit New Wrinkle for Horse Racing WHEN Zev, winner of the Kentucky derby, meets Papyrus, champioi. of the English turf, at Belmont park Saturday, some 50,000 persons are expected to witness this great event of the racing world. Expenses will be heavy, and should rain make a postponement necessary, the managers would lose a lot of money. To guard against this contingency the Westchester Racing association lias secured from the Hartford Fire Insurance company a $50,000 rain policy. Inder the terms of the contract the assured will receive this sum if rainfall on Saturday exceeds one-tenth of an inch between 9 a. m. and 1 p. m. This policy is one of the largest of its kind ever written. Horse races, especially running races, are held rain or shine. The Zev-Papyrus race will be run rain or shine. But if it rains not such a large crowd will be In attendance. It costs a lot of money to bring Papyrus to the shores of this country. Thus the rain policy. Rain policies are not uncommon for ball games, outdoor fights ai d such, but a rain policy for a boss race is a new wrinkle. Schlaifer Will Be Own Boss. M0RR1E •SHEATFKR Is getting tired of being tied down to a fistic manager. He said so himself yesterday. We were on the receiving end of the conversation. According to Schlaifer, it seems that hi* contract with his present manager expires after the first of the coming year. From then on. Omaha's Fighting Fool will he his own manager. At least lie says so, and inasmuch as he doc* the fighting he expect* to have something to say. Some doubt if Schlaifer can manage himself successfully. We don't believe he can. Few fighters turn out to be successful managers of them selves. Would Pack ’Km in Audit oft urn. AN Omaha fight promoter approached us the other day and inquired if we thought a Jimmy Delanev-Young Stribllng 10-round tout and a Battling Siki and a Jack Taylor 10-round scrap would draw a crowd In Omaha. We nearly fell over dead. Draw a crowd. Why a pair of biHits like the ones mentioned above would fill the Auditorium hours before tlie show started, providing, of course, reasonable prices were charged. We doubt very much if any Omaha promoter or two promoters could offer fighters like Delaney, Stribling, Siki and Taylor enough money to fight in this city, especially the way this matchmaker had things mapped out. Omaha has gained the reputation among the fistic colony of this eouii try as a pretty good coin-collecting burg for slingers of the padded gaunt lets and hot air. Thereforf. fighters who are in the spotlight will demand large purses to fight in Omaha for the simple reason .that boxers like Shade. Wells, Behoell. Renault and others of lesser importance have hauled down good hunks of the gate receipts. , New Manager for Buffaloes? RUMORS are fluttering here and there that the Omaha Western league club will have a new manager In 1924. How true this report Is we don't know. Barney Burch, owner of the club, is out of the city. However, we do know that it would not be surprising to learn that Ed Konetchy, manager last season, would not return to the Buffaloes as b“s next year. Konetchy at one time wa* a wonderful baseball player. He still hold' a National league record. But time ha* told on the Big .Train. He Isn't the player he was four or five years ago. Just who Burch will get to handle the managerial reigns next season. It U not known, and the chance# are It will not he known until after the minor eague ronfab during the winter months. There has been some talk of Burrh managing the club. In order to do this he would have to get someone to handle the front end of the park— he busineai end. Then again, it wouldn't surprise us to learn that Burch sold a ha f Interest in the club to a well-known Omaha sportsman, and that particul.i: verson handled the business end of the team.
