Theisen Steps Down in Favor of Man Who Trained Five Championship Teams - V A. G. Kline to Take Charge of Gagers Expert Coach Takes Thieson’s Place as Mentor of Huskers. Lincoln. Nov. fi.—A^G. Kline, vet eran coach, will handle the Nebraska basketball team thrs season, accord ing to announcement by athletic di rector Dawson Tuesday morning. Mr. Kline has been coaching both footbnll | and basketball^ at the University of Florida for the past three years but I lie was forced to give up his work 1 there because the climate did not f agree with his son. As soon as word got about that Dill Kline was headed north, every i ffort was made to get In touch with him and as a result he starts drill ing the Husket basketball team Wed nesday evening. Coach Kline was at Nebraska Wes leyan from 1911 to 1917 Inclusive. While there he turned out some great teams winning five out of seven basketball games played with Un!i verstty of Nebraska teams and his fives were- state champions every year. It was conceded that he had the best team in the Missouri Valley at one time. In IMS, S. A. T. C. year, Coach Kline directed the Ihisltet football team and coached the freshman bas ketball team which Paul Schissler took the next J'e ar and made a gicate record with. Coach Klino started at University of Florida and lms been there since that time. In the statement issued by Director Dawson he explains the status of Ralph Thlesen’s appointment as bas ketball coach, which was announced txvo weeks ago. Mr, Thiesen agreed to accept the position and do the best he could but insisted that Nebraska was entitled to a more experienced coach. Mr. Dawson’s statement: . "Through Ralph Theisen's splendid spirit of loyalty to the university and eagerness that we haye the best avail able coaches, we have engaged AV. G. Kline as basketball coach for this \ ear. "In the first place Ralph Thiesen did not apply for the position. I went to him personally and explained that it was impossible for us to secure the man we wanted for the job. j "Reluctantly, Mr. Thiesen agreed to *tep into the breech and do what he $ould to handle the situation, at the Same time saying we were entitled to a more experienced coach—in fact -be said we should have the best coach h» the country so that Nebraska bas letbail would maintain its proper standing In the Valley conference. "And now. when we suddenly find Mr. Kline is available, Mr. Thiesen said he was only too glad to step ijnwn in favor of Mr. Kline.” j Tendler-Leonard ! Go for Tiajuana Lew Tendler may mix a few rounds with Penny Leonard at Tiajuana, Mox., this winter. It was reported In Rt. Louis yes terday that such a match had been •irranged. Put that was rumor, creditable rumor to be sure. James AV. Coffroth, manager of the Tiajuana track, and promoter of f the match, could not be found last bight. He was reported to be In I Mexico City on a business trip. That looks promising for the bout. Tom Gibbons told us Sunday that Coffroth was in Mexico City trying <o arrange a bond whereby lumber could be taken Into Mexico free of charge on condition that it was re moved as soon as the use for it was over. This lumber was expected to be used in a mammoth arena. At this rate things look promising for a go between Gibbons and some one else on the same bill with Tend ler and Leonard. Bluffs Gridsters Hard at Work Thomas Jefferson High school grid ,iters settled down last night to a week of hard, grinding practice to •perfect their machine against the game Saturday with Abraham I.ln coin High school. The game promises to he the j^ird i p cst on tlm season schedule of either team. Neither coach shows any con fidence of victory, but both say that if fighting and playing real football will win a game they may como Sway with the laurels. ,s Three new plays were outlined to •the squad last night. It Is hoped that •these new plays, coupled with the ‘plays that have been used success fully In the past, will go a long way toward bringing victory to the wear i rs of the gold Jerseys, i Charging, passing, bucking the line, running, tackling and blocking were on the bill for the boys. In addition to the strenuous work of the early afternoon, thoy scrimmaged. If hard work will make a winning team, Thomas Jefferson High school is going to have it. Wills was more than willing to iet him absorb ail he could. The towel was evidently a relief for the harassed feelings of the Bostonian when It sailed Into the ring In the fourth round. [I ■■■■■ ■ ■■ ■ ■! ' I—■ Jimmy Zebitz ■ - ■. <Jttrvmy* j^eb t-1 /.«fTdL, || ** —— Joseph (Jimmy) Zebitz, flyweight champion of Denmark, is coming to (lie United Slates in search of fights. Jimmy has ambitions of annexing tlie world flyweight title sometime during 1924 or 1925. According to Spike Webb, boxing coach at the United States Naval academy. Jimmy is one of the best boxers in Europe. Large Crowds Attend Races • Ran Francisco, Nov. 6.—Admissions paid at the opening of the Tanforan race track Saturday totalled more than 25,000, according to General Manager John D. Stelling. This Is said to have been the largest crowd that ever attended a horse race In California. Another feature will be run tomor row. the debutante stakes. Fifty eight two-year-olds were nominated for this event and a dozen or more are expected to start. Thirty-three have the privilege of entering the derby trial next Saturday, which is for three-year-olds. Officials of the Pacific coast Jockey club are enthusiastic over the recep tion accorded ‘'betless" racing. Des Moines College Defeated in Game Dubuque. Tu.. Nov. 5.—Columbia college of Dubuque whose 12 to 0 de feat of the hitherto unbeaten Des Moines university last Friday has made it a contender for the college championship of Iowa will meet St. Viator college of Kankakee. HI., at White Sox park. Chicago, next Friday for the Western Catholic college championship. The ancient rivalry between the two schools as well as the title at stake aroused so much Interest In the part of the alumni and supporters of the Institution that k was decided to hold the game In Chicago. ^RQDgn3GUTjf When Ducks Fly South. EVKKBODY will now be on the lookout for a good dog for re trieving ducks that shall fall to the well-<W>nsMored aim of the wild fowler. His first thought will be for n sturdy dog—a dog that can see afar, and go out. on command, after the bird In yonder marsh or the swamp or water beyond. Such an action, on the part of the dog, Is no pup's play. The gunner will now require a de pendable dog—a dog unafraid to face any condition of the less negotiable of the Immediate elements. The differ-' ent kinds of the retriever dogs will at once suggest themselves to the sportsman; and among these will be the Chesapeake Bay dogs, the lab rador dogs, the flat and curly rent ed retrievers, the Irish water spaniels, and the big, upstanding spaniels of the springer kind. It should not he forgotten that the Chesapeake dogs have been bred for durk shooting or "hunting” in this country for about 100 years; and that by selection dogs have been and are produced with coats almost of the exact color of the dead reeds or grass you will find In the fall. No other retriever has this "yellow" color, if we except some of the Russian retrievers, quite a nice variety of dog; noble In ap pearance and stature, hut considered somewhat “soft” by sportsmen in western Europe. TWO DISTRICT CHAMPIONS DECIDED IN SOCCER TOURNEY sore K Ft REHIL’M. Highland 1. Vinton h. Howard Kennedy 0, Long 0 Train 0. Comenlu* 0 Miller /’ark 4. ‘'nan J. | Two district champions were tic J'Wfil In the third annual Omaha Be* j grade school aorcer championship ' tournament yesterday when Miller Park defeated Cass 4 to 2 and High land bent Vinton 1 to 0. Miller Park again wina the district championship of Division No. 4. while Highland is champion of the first district. Train and Comenlu* and Howard Kennedy and Dong rnuy ploy their games orr Thursday, although It hasn't been definitely derided. Jones and Hums were the chief Scorers for Miller Park yesterday. jUach booted two goals. Clowaer, with n goal, and Wells, with a goal, starred for the lorers. Houser and Welmmer of Park and Baa* and Camero of Cars also played a good game. The Comenius Train teams played good soccer. Neither team was able to come close to scoring. An addi tional 10 minutes was necessary and darkness fell on the field, causing the referee to call the game. Crawford, halfback on the Highland team, scored a goal for his team in the first half and Highland bent Vin ton at Athletic park. The game was well played throughout. Twenty additional minptes were necessary In the Howard Kennedy* Kong game and still neither team was able to score, so close was the guarding Accommodations for Guests Are Lacking in Chamonix, France Chamonix, France, Nov. 6.—How to provide shelter for the 20,000 to 30, 000 visitors expected here from Jan uary 25 to February 6 during the winter sports events which mark the opening of the 1924 Olympic games is the problem confronting the town authorities and French Olympic com mittee now that the work on the skating rink, bobsleight chute and ski jumps is finished. Chamonix, a little town of 3,000 Inhabitants, perched high on the slopes of Mont Blanc, possesses nor mal accomodation for about 1.500 to 2,000 transients and by the placing of additional beds in ball rooms, cor ridors, billiard parlors of the hotels and pressing private house owners to let out the "guest room," this might be increased 3,000. Frantz R eichel, the general secre tary of the French Olympics commit tee and Allan H. Muhr, lnternaltnoal secretary were here recently and had several conferences with Mayor Ra vairvro with the result that 65 per cent of the hotel accomodations were reserved for the committee which has assumed responsibility for housing the athletics, trainers, officials and newspaper correspondents. Three hundred applications have been re ceived by the committee from news paper representatives. The local hotels are already booked up to the limit and It Is the present intention of the organizers to refer prospective visitors to hotels in Alx Res Baines and Annecy, and to shut tle them back and forth to Chamonix morning and evening. For that purpose local excursion trains will be run twice daily be tween Aix Res Maines, Annecy and Chamonix, while bus lines will be es tablished. Leo Shea to Referee Bouts Reo Shea, known around these parts as a referee of all things flstlc. has been engaged to act as the third man In the ring tomorrow night when the Doug las County post of the American Degion stages its monthly fight program at the Auditorium. Nebraska fight fans know Shea as about one of the best referees who has ever stepped Into an Omaha ring. He will come from New York to offi ciate tomorrow night.

All of the fighters scheduled to swap punches tomorrow bave strived In town and work out each after noon at the Business Men's gym nasium. Divided Title Looms in Big Ten Chicago, Nov. e.—Big Ten elevens will go Into action this week with more than a possibility that Illinois and Michigan will end the season un defeated and championship honors as did Iowa and Michigan last year. Unless Wisconsin and Minnesota up set all the "dope.” as both teams have been known to do. a divided cham pionship looms as strongly probable. The Badgers started to prepare for the Illini contest Saturday with their scouts' unqualified praise of the sen satlonal ”Re.d” Grange, Illinois ace. ringing In their ears. Scouts who saw the Illinois-Chicago game at Ur liana brought back word that they believed Wisconsin's line was as strong as Chicago's. Michigan will play the United States Marines Saturday in an out of-conference game. Minnesota, as yet undefeated, does not play this week-end, hut besides Michigan must face Iowa. The undefeated Chicago eleven takes on Indiana here Saturday, with the Hooslers on the short end of the dope. Ohio State and Purdue meet on about equal terms.

Ily A.aorlatfd Press. Chicago, Nov. 6—Professionalism, a charge that brands a university ath lete with a stigma of disrepute, to night struck out to disqualify a west ern conference football star because he is alleged to haye received com pensation for teaching a boys’ Y. M. C. A. swimming clffass as a means of earning the expenses of an education. The protest is made against Ed C. Gerber, tackle on the University of Wisconsin eleven, just on the eve of the crucial Wisconsin-Illinois game Saturday. The protest, if al lowed, means that he will be barred from all athletics on the ground that he was a paid coach. The situation recalls a similar in cident a year ago, when as the Badg ers prepared to meet the Illini a pro test came from Illinois quarters which disqualified Murray, another or Wisconsin tackle. This protest brought out the wrath of Big John I#?' hards, then Wisconsin coach, and I almost resulted in a severance of ath letic relations between the two uni varsities. The attempt to have Gerber ruled out of competition, comes from a dif ferent source, according to reliable reports here. Faced with a shattered line in the most Important game of its present season, should Gerber be declared in eligible, Wisconsin athletic authori ties tonight hastened an Investigation into the charges. T. E. Jones, direc tor of athletics, went to La Crosse to find from Y. M. C. A. officials the status that the athlete held when he taught a boys' swimming class there. Gerber, rated as one of the star tackles of the Big Ten, maintains that he violated no conference rule. Before the season started he substi tated his case to the athletic council / the university, and after an inves tigation was found to be eligible. He has since played regularly In all of the' games in which Wisconsin has competed. Greb Wins From Soldier Jones Hjr ( 'nlveraal N^rrle#. Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 5.—In one of the best fistic battle seen here in years, Harry Greb. middleweight champion, w'on over Soldier Jones, the Canadian boxer, taking eight of the 10 rounds. Jones nearly spilled the beans in the f.rst round when he put Greb down twice, the first time for the count of eight, and again for the count of four. The second round found Greb grog gy but by holding and stalling he weathered through. It was Greb's fight the reet of the way. In the eighth he knocked Jones out of the ring with a right to the Jaw. The Canadian left the ring w.th his right eye closed and No Gloves Fit Big Munn, Iowa Boxer Sioux City, Nov. 6.—Big Munn. Sioux city heavyweight giant, caused Tom Brislane, who is promoting Munn'i first match here on Nov. 16 against Jack Clifford of St. Paul, con siderable worry when he atempted to buy gloves for the bout. Munn's hands are as big as his name Indl oates and only after an order had t»een sent to the Pacific coast to have special gloves manufactured was the promoter able to I.ne up a pair. Munn weighs 248 pounds. Lincoln Stars Are Injured.

Tommy Gibbons in his dressing room at the World theater last night nailed this story ns a falsehood—and Tommy says he knows the man who started it and is looking for him. The story teller, according to Tom my, is a vaudeville actor by the name of. Renault. He says Renault started the story on the west coast, telling that he knew both Tommy and Mike well. "I never saw him in my life," said Tommy. "But I am hoping for the time when we shall be in the same town. I shall introduce myself." Gibbons Ready for Renault Kddle Kane, the dapper little pilot of Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul wielder of the mittens, is ready to meet Jack Renault, the Canadian hea vy w e i g h t fighter. "Just let Tex Rickard start talking busi ness with us,” yells Kane, "then we will let the dear little public know bow Tommy G i b - bona feels about fight ing.” Gibbon*, who recently remained 15 rounds with the champ.on of his di vision at the memorial Shelby battle ground, is capitalizing the publicity he got out of the fight by touring the country as a member of a vaude ville circuit. Kane and Tommy are appearing at a local theater. While Kane Is ready to send Gib bons Into the ring against Renault the manager of the St. Paul heavy can't see why Tommy should be used In ellmlnaion bouts. Gibbons fought Dempsey and is entitled to another bout with the champion, opines Kane. However, fighting is Gibbon's busi ness and as long as there is money involved he is willing to don the mit tens. As for Renault, well. Kane and Gibbons believe the Canadian can be disposed of in short order. U Winners Pay Big Odds Paris, Nov.

HA OOIO sot a Ham ay St " "" Night School for Huskers Is Latest Every Effort Being Made to Whip Team Into Shape. l>incoln, Nov. 6.—Another period of preparation Tuesday for the Irish in vasion shed no more light on the manner in which Head Coach Daw son is preparing his Husker athletes for the big test Saturday. Those who ventured as far as the stadium gates were politely but firmly told that the path by which they came led in the exact direction they were about to go. There is no time being w'asted. A glimpse inside showed the entire squad in uniform and the sun was still fairly high in the heaven. On top of the afternoon workouts, the Huskers w ill go to “night school'' the remainder of the week. At these ses sions Coach Dawson and his assist ants will thoroughly explain new plays; and attempt to give the Ne braskans an ins ght into Notre Dame’s defense. Notre Dame lost some of its best players last year through injuries, but as usual Coach Hockneys reserve list had players on it who were almost as good. This year the tables are turn ed. Almost every regular Nebraska lineman is suffering from injuries. With one exception these injuries are not serious, but they are suf ficient to make the scrimmage prac tice hazardous. Doug Myers, regular end, has been unable to do much since the Missouri game on account of his bad knej. His is probably the most serious injury to be encountered thus far.
