Another name was added to the list of Incapacitated Monday, when Coach Dawson was forced to go home with a heavy cold, which was threatening to devofop pneumonia. It is very doubt ful If he will he able to direct the pre paration for the Kansas Aggie game. The second Husker team was sent against the freshmen in dummy scrimmage, the yearlings ilslng the Kansas Aggie formations. Thanksgiving day patrons will have another chance of seeing that well known Rockne shift and a shower of forward passes, according to word brought back by Nebraska scouts. The Aggies put on one of the most spec tacular games played last season on Nebraska field, and practically every' member of that team will he In action again this season. If. Dewitz ill Kail Shape. Herb Dewitz is no better, his hip if anything being worse. It appeared Monday as though Herb had played his last game for Nebraska. He may surprise the insiders again Thursday by getting into the game, hut his presence is even more doubtful than it was before the Syracuse game. Coach Bachman has been following the Huskers-j all around this season, and he is familiar with all their plays. He knows who to watch and when to watch him. Most of the Acgie team were on the sidelines Saturday, mak lng a few notes on their own cuffs. Seven of Assies In I,ast liame. This will be the Assies’ last chance. With an eleven in 1922 which won the sobriquet of •'wonder-team." the Kansans anticipated a great year In 1922. They have been disappointed to some extent, but a victory over Ne braska would more than make up for any setback they have suffered. Rut above all. seven of the Aggies regulars are playing their last intercollegiate football Thursday. It’s their last chance, and that Is going to mean con siderable in matter of being keyed properly to win.

Bee Want Ads I'roduce Results. Just a Wor& or Two --By FKED S. Hl'NTEH._ When Barney "Burch, owner of the Omaha baseball club, gave Whitey Gislason the air ex pressions of incredulity were heard to emit from some of the little second baseman's admirers. With Kittle Rock In the Southern associaltlon where Gislason played 42 games Last season the official batting averages showed that he managed to make 26 hits for an average of .180. An error for Mr. Burch? Not today. On the other hand the official fig ures of the Southern association show that Babe Herman, who enacted the role of utility player for the Buffaloes a year ago, clouted out 187 hits in 145 games foc-Atlanta and ac cumulated an average of .339. Another former Omaha player, Kefty Fhur, who used to toll for Pa Rourko and went tip to the Chicago Cubs, hut couldn’t quite stand the pace, finished second among the Southern association pitchers with an earned run average of 2.36. Fuhr won 23 games and lost 14. He hurl ed for Mobile and was surpassed only by McGrew of Memphis. Grandaddy Earl Touth will be served. Sometimes. Entered In the Thanksgiving day automobile race in California are 18 famous speed merchants. Automo bile racing may- bq said to be a young man's game and most of the 18 are young men. But in t^ie time trials the pilot who tooled his steel mount at the great est. speed—122 miles an hour—was none other than that gay and care free youngster, Mr. Karl Cooper. Insofar as speed Is concerned Mr. Cooper is still in swaddling clothes and he grins derisively at the antique gentlemen who do their traveling in limousines behind expert chauffeurs But in point of years—well. Mr. Cooper is gray, grim and wrinkled. He was dabbling with racing auto mobiles before Harney Oldfield had taken his first lesson In cigar smok ing and Henry Ford didn't have a flivver to hls name. Before that Mr. Cooper was a bicycle rider and the rerords fall to go farther back than that. Yes, youth must he served, and Mr. Cooper shouts the adage lou«t*r than ail the rest. Kveti I,lent. Al.

Good Pj&u<jTy ^£~TtA. HIM. The sport domain has become a fertile field for advertising. No cham pion fighter can go Into training for a big match without a regiment of feminine screen stars descending on him. Their press-agents scent tlie op portunity for priceless publicity. Straightaway the arch publicity seek er packs t^r grip ami enters into the rheap scramble for recognition. All sorts of ridiculous p<»es with the fighter iti the public e£e. Kite dons the gloves and the camera catches her breaking, perforating the champ's guard with an uppercut. If he goes on a trip to Europe she's at the dock to kiss hrnT good-bye if the camera will record it. A while back there was one of those rare things in tiasebali—the no hit game. Now the renown of such a feat really should he shared wutll no one who had not a peculiarly ac tive part in It. Opening the paper the next morning to read the account of the supreme effort—what greeted the eye? Ves—sharing his hard-earned glory with a grinning movie actress radiating evident joy in the twirler’s good fortune—or hers. We often wonder if screen stars would take such a lively interest in the deeds of famous athletes were there no photographic services to the papers. _ The advertising bee is always a buzzing in the brain of the fighter of-i his manager, particularly the latter. The modern fight manager is really an advertising man. That is if lie is a good manager. In the old days it was different. All they knew then was fight. Advertising was compara tively unheard of. .lack llempsey can fight once a year or two years, fur that matter, and still keep his name in the papers. Hut what did John L Sullivan do between fights? John L. Sullivan had a picturesque character which acted as a sort of 'd vertisement for him. Me delighted In atanding on a corner and throwing away change, even bills, to newsboys. He liked to fight, and he reveled In watching others fight for money. Sullivan always attracted attention through his antics, but it wasn't a studied deliberate advertising stunt. His favorite caper in a saloon was to call for dozena of the best quality drinking glasses and a towel; he would maka a small wager with any one that he could Jerk the towel from under without breaking a single glass. Of course he failed and all the glasses were broken—but It was great fun and good publicity too. But to keep his name in the papers Sullivan had to fight Sullivan's prime source of advertising was meet ing all comers, offering $1,000 to any one who eould stay four rounds with him. Once on a tour <»f this sort he kno« k**«L<»ut some fifty bruisers. How different today. Dempsey, Leonard and other champions take to the mov ies or the stage and make big money while keeping alive the sound of their names. Today tin* fighters send out their press notices in huge envelopes, embellished with their names in bright letters. They pos* as med ical students, college hoys, million aires* sons, etc., and the sucker public believes it all, as it believes ail advertising claims. When Dempse>'s advertising temperature goes down they work up the bunk talk of s mixed match with the wrestler. Strangler Lewis. That "(’an the wrestler beat the fighter?” gag is revived, and each derives good publicity from it. But have they yet nettled the “problem?” So. Because if they did it would settle the advertising scheme. Jack Johnson relied strongly on the courts for advertising. He used to make it a practice to get caught speeding, it wa/> a dull week when Johnson didn't pay his little fine— and get his name in the papers. Stanley Ketchel used to prowl around In cowboy boots and hat. Lute McCarty, another cowboy, once rode his horse up New York city hall's steps. Hob Fitzsimmons used to break punching bogs in training. Also visit the neighboting blacksmith and make horseshoes. Tom Sharkey had his "washboard stomach." ridges of bulging muscles, with which he ad vertised himself. When Teddy Roosevelt was in the White House all of the champions made it a practice to call on him at least once. It was matchless adver tising. approved, too, by Roosevelt, (he best advertised president we ever had. White House publicity for pugs took on a black outlook with the pass ing of Teddy. He was the "peepui's president,'’ and tile pugs felt at home with him. Hut no vegetable ears have heard the announcement of the doorman at the Blue room threshold since. The prexys have been taking their cauliflower from tlie waiter—not the doorman. But perhaps the pugs don’t mourn their estrangement from the White house. Tlvir advertising methods today, while larking the stately gall of the White house call are more remunerative. I South Prepares for Bluffs Game A week of the hardest kind of scrimmage and signal practice faces the South High Packers, after their 3 to 0 defeat at the hands of the Norfolk gridsters last Friday. Coach Patton is not quite pleased with the way the team played Friday, and may make some change* in the Packer lineup before their Thanks giving day clash with Thomas Jef ferson High of Council Bluffs. The ax is expected to fall on the back field, principally, but the line may he chopped up. too. The team came out of the game with no serious injuries, and there fore may present a fairly strong line up against the Blutfmen. Patton has one of the best, if hot the best lines in the stale, but sonic how It doesn't piny in harmony with the backfleld, or the backfleld doesn't play with the line, one or the other. Tlie backfleld isn't so weak, either, for there's Buss firaham. one of the fitn best quarterback* in the state, and Captain Sutter, one of Nebrss ka's outstanding high school hacks, yet the team Is not showing up well in its contests. There's something wrong some where. But where? l oach Patton has changed and changed his lineup, lias shaken It up nearly every week, but to no avail. The team braces for one game, wins It, then slump*, and loses sgain. '8 too hsd.

A new generation of black ring men is developing. Perhaps if is due to the fact that the violent prejudice against negro fighters born of dark Johnson's vic tory over Jim Jeffries has been ef faced by time. Perhaps it is due to the fart that the negroes are finding more encour agement from the boxing authorities in different parts of fhe country, who drew the “color line” as strongly a* some of the white champions. The prominence achieved by Harry Wilis, "The Brown Panther” of New Orleans, undoubtedly has something to do with the new development of the negro boxer. Wilis has done much to re establish the negro in the esteem of the boxing fans, has done much to remove the prejudice against his race. Wills stands at the head of the negro fighters of the country—of the world.
