HARTINGTON, WILBER, NELIGH AND CRAWFORD UNDEFEATED IN I RACE-BOARD HAS HARD JOB Central, Tech atjd Lincoln Elevens, Although Defeated, From Comparative Strength Standpoint, Appear Strong est Teams in Nebraska High Circles—Small Teams With Clean Slate Demand Recognition'From State Officials. -( I he course the state high athletic board will take * Tuesday In regard to settling the interscholastic i football championship dispute Is a matter of con M ^ Jecture. With Wlber, Hartlngton, Crawford and 1W Nellgh claiming the title, and Central, Tech and Lincoln, the three strongest teams In the state |M eliminated by each other, the annual grid race has become so cluttered up that no little task will be faced In attempting to Iron out the situation. /mcs, m From a comparative strength standpoint, none of the claimants for the premier honors are capable of coping with the three teams in the larger cities. To award the bunting to a weaker team that had remlaned undefeated by meeting atill yfeaker teams, would seem an Injustice to the big three. To award the bunting to one of the three teams which had met defeat would certainly bring up more disputes. t / JirtOfi*1! Consequently, the 1923 title may be undecided. The three stronger teams completed successful seasons, and with one exception each, measured up all of the teams against which they played. Lincoln fell to Central. Central lost to Tech and eTch in turn was trounced by Lincoln. These defeats among each other, consti tute all of the defeats these teams have met in the state race. Central, Tech and Lincoln have also played strong teams. Crawford won the western title by defeating Morrill. Up until the time of the game, Mornjll had been count ed aa one of the stronger western teams. Iseligh, Wilber and Harting ,ton are awaiting the decision of the board to press their titular claims. Broken Bow played a stiff schedule and made a creditable showing. Grand Island handed out the only reverse the Custer county youths encountered. Gothenburg played a good schedule and came through with one of its most successful seasons. Broken Bow and Kearney handed out the only de feat Coach McCandless’ protegees were forced to take. Hastings made a brilliant showing under the tutelage of Coach Dick Newman and lost but one game, the final one of the sea son. to Grand Island. Coach Knapple’s Ashland eleven was held to a scoreless tie by tlie Fremont eleven during an early season game and continued the rest of the slate with a succession of victories. Arapahoe made a suc cessful showing against one of the hardest schedule* it ever framed. Coach Tyler’s Havelock aggregation went down to a defeat from Ash land. The other battles resulted in as many wins. Vork, Coach Ernie Hubka's team, lost its title aspirations to the Cap ital city gridders. Playing a good schedule, the Blue and White team came through with a creditable rec ord. Kearney, lead by the smash ing tactics of Its fullback, Easter Ung. fought through to a aurcessful season. Although several reverses 4ere encountered, the showing pre sented merits the team favorable comment. Norfolk and Fremont closed one of ti»e most successful seasons that have been experienced in recent years. Coach Wills, who tutored the Fre monters, has resigned to coach at Chadron normal. North Platte played spasmodically good football through out the season. Sidney, Cozad and Bayard fell to the Uncoln county youths. Grand Island made but 33 points during the first seven games. Two of these seven games resulted In ties and two in defeats, Late in the season the .Islanders caught their stride and walked through their op position. Lexington came through with a creditable record. Cambridge, Tecuniseh and Curtiss Aggies won a majority of the games played. Of the schools that usually have gootl fool hall teams, Beatrice prov ed the exception. The Gage county eleven had llie poorest team which it lias turned out in recent years. Lark of material front which to de velop a team is responsible for the i |HM>r showing. Aurora made a fair showing against strong teams. Alliance fell to Beatrice. A poor record has been made by Coach Prince’s youths. Auburn. Adams, Superior and Scottsbluff developed teams which established themselves as good elevens. Adams came near to compiling the high score of the season by defeating Barneston, 114 to 0. David City, Nebraska City, Hoi drege, Plattsmouth and Creighton Prep of Omaha did nothing that mark ed them as the better class of football teams. Playing good football at times and poor football as a rule, these teams completed the season. Ths dozens of smaller schools In the state had football teams which occasionally played good football. Good football was the exception in stead of the rule in these institu tions. The larger schools which had the strongest teams are now watching the developments which will culminate with the board meeting at Grand Island Vuesday. Title claimants are eagerly awaiting the verdict of the board. Regardless of the decision reached by the hoard, the 1323 Ne braska high school football season saw the development of some unusual' teams. Some of these teams perform ed with such skill that they would have given many college teams a hard battle. M’ALEER, GAYER AND MAHONEY ON FIRST ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM Three Creighton university foot ballers, Captain McAleer, guard; Wal ter Gayer, tackle, and Ike Mahoney, end. have been selected as members of the All-North Intercollegiate con ference first football team by the sport writers, coaches, athletic di rectors and fans of the conference. Henry Leupke was chosen fullback on the second team. Although he played halfback (luring the latter part of the season, the Crelghtln grldster could play either fullback or halfback In dandy style.

Deposed Official to Fight Election of Opponent New York, Dec. 3.—Preparatory to proceeding to Chicago where he will appear before the national arbitra tion commission of baseball, William II. McCarthy, admittedly "one of the presidents" of the Pacific coast league, arrived In New York last night from New Orleans where he stopped en route from Han Francisco. Mr. McCarthy will contest before the commission the election of Harry Williams, Dos Angeles newspaper man, to the presidency from which he whs "deposed” last June after he had questioned the ownership of the .Seattle baseball club. He charged William Wrlgley, Jr., owner of the San Francisco club of the same league and of the Chicago National loague club with sponsorship of the Seattle organization. Asserting that he held the funds anti records of the league, Mr. Mr Carthy charged he had been ousted by the Influence of Mr. Wrlgley, who he alleged was conducting "syndicate baseball.” 4 Mr. McCarthy’s contract expired last November. Asked if he would renew It he declared “that was Re side the question whlcji Is a matter trf principle." He traced bis difficulties to bis banishment of two players who were discovered to have "thrown” games for gamblers. Harry I. Stafford, at torney for (he league, accompanied him.

Once In a while they crop up, a colorful reminder of the golden days when the aboriginal might and courage wrought legends w-hich will endure to the end of American history. This time it is John Levi, the great all-around athlete of the Haskell In dian school. Levi is heralded as a second Jim Thorpe. He Is regarded as a promis ing Olympic candidate, and is pretty close to some of Thorpe's marks right now'. Levi can clear more than six feet in the running high and is good for 22 feet in the running broad. They say 44 feet with the ISpound shot' is easy for him. This brave is a ball player of parts, too. He Is a first baseman, and It Is rumored that the Yankees ars Interested In his fu ture. Good news. If trus, all of this. The Indian In athletics has always been a curiously Interesting type, and his abilities often are unusual. Since Glenn Warner and Carl Flanders left Carlisle the Indian In football has become a negligible quantity. Warner went to Carlisle In 1899. From the moment of his arrival the Indians took on an aspect of genuine terror in football circles. All of the big college teams were walloped by them at some time or another. Jim Thorpe, the greatest football player probably that ever lived, wan developed by Warner. There was nothing that he could not do on the gridiron. His wizardry as a runner from kick formations has yet to be equaled, despite the score of Illustri ous ones that have performed since Thorpe was the most feared ball car rier of a IF time. In addition to his football falents. Thorpe ranks also as the greatest of all-around stars. He won the pen tathlon and the decathlon at the Stockholm Olympics with (jlmost un believable marks. Out of S' possible 10,000 points In the decathlon, the wonderful aborigine scored S.412 points. His nearest competitor was TOO points behind. Thorpe, like Levi of today, was a crack ball player, too. He rose to the majors, being for a time with the New York Giants. But there were other names besides Thorpe’s to conjure with at old Car lisle. Hudson was a great dropkicker. Charlie Dillon, an old Sioux Indian, was one of the most formidable guards ever. It was this wily Indian who secreted the ball under bis sweater and ran back a kick off for a touchdown against Harvard In 1903. Others on those memorahle redskin teams of Carlisle who will never be forgotten were Mount Pleasant, Lib by, Charles, Hauser, Redwater, Bob tail Billy and Archlquette. While the Indian takes naturally to football, his greatest renown hi^ been achieved on the track. James Feni more Cooper hss perpetuated the fame of the Indian runner, and the latter day aborigines have made Rood his pen praise. Tom Longboat, Sorkalexls, Pierce and Twanlna, many more lithe muscled Indians, have shown the way to the'paleface over the long distance stretches. Longboat is acclaimed by many as the greatest long-distance runner the world ever knew. None others of his tribe ever approached his greatness. Longboat flourished at the time oi the “marathon craze’’ here in New York 1& years ago. lie came from the Six Nations Reserve, 4b miles from Buffalo, and astonished the world with his tireless stamina and deer-like speed. Longboat was not an educa\ed In dian. The big money that awaited him in the "pro" races interested him but little. He had no fondness for pelf or for training, but he liked to run just for the pleasure of it—when he fe.lt like it. There have ljeen some good Indian .ball players in the majors. Chief Bender, immortal Athletic pitcher; Chief Meyers, old Giant catcher; Jude, the Red outfielder, and Jack Warhop. the old Yank fwirler, in addition to Thorpe. Bender ranks as one of the first in pitchers of all time. The rest were good, but not great.

Leonard said his acceptance was sub ject to the approval of his manager, Billy Gibson, who Is ill at Rye. N. T. Leonard has been on the trail of the New Jersey boxer ever since the title passed from Jack Britton and Is confident he can beat Walker. Al though he is after bigger game, Leonard has not outgrown the ranks of the lightweight division. He Is considering an offer from James Croffoth, I'aciflc coast promoter, to meet the winner of an elimination contest at Tijuana for the light weight title some time this Printer, he said. He inttmuted that Lew Temller probably would he his opponent If such an event were staged, Leonard declared he' was In good shape, his weight at the present time being close to 139 poundg Auto Racers’ Positions Changed by Committee LoS Angeles, Dec. 3.

KW TORK, Dec. 3.—H a ▼ 1 n g ar rived her* on Sat urday with a Ktealth ao mysteri ous as to start tongues wagging. Judge Landis has again made a noise like a rub ber heel and disappeared from the Hotel Commo dore between the setting of one sun and the rising of another. In the wake of his de parture for parts unknown flourishes a crop of rumors, one of which hss it that the Judge came here to offici ate st the preliminary ceremonies at tendant upon the alleged demise of Charles A. Stoneham as president of the Giants. Stoneham Is under Indictment for alleged bucket shop frauds and In spite of hts fevered denials, he Is al most ready to dispose of his majority holdings In the Giants before the open ing of another season. It Is also said that the Judge was In town to look into ths Hornsby business, although his connection with a possible trade of the Cardinal star to the Oiants would seem to he Just a hit vague and obscure A more plausible snawer Is that I-andlfr-is still trying to run down the source of re ported opposition to hts leadership of baseball with the Idea of approaching the annual meeting at Chicago neat week with advance Information as to friend and foe. In view of ths fact that William H. McCarthy, deposed head of the Pa cific Coaat league, was and still is a guest at a nearby hoalelry, It was assumed that the Judge's visit may have been prompted by a desire to hear McCarthy's rlewe on gyndl oats baseball. The coast man cams esst with charges that William Wrlg ley owns and operates too many Hubs In the Coast league, but his statement that he has not seen I-andls is ac cepted at face value here. The time was when oilr Mr. Com mlssloner would have summoned the gentlemen of the press and after solemnly shaking hands and asking about the children, would have opened his heart and mouth. Now. his s.vs tern seems to be built around that passe motto: "Trent ’em rough and tell ’em nothing !" Doane Prepares for Basket Ball Season Crete, Neb., I»ec.

Z.—Many Phila delphia ring worms, slang lerrns for pugilistic patrons, think the boxing game here will be killed by the new state law. providing for 10-round bouts with decisions. The new law went into effect tonight. Perhape the pugllistto patrons are right. One thing is certain. Philadelphia may no longer see the all star cards for which its boxing game lias been noted. These cards or shows frequently In cluded two or three champions. The Philadelphia limit on a boxing con test under the old order which soon passes out. was eight rounds. No official decision was rendered. The boxing writers expressed In their newspapers their opinions as to the result of a bout. These opinions, however, could not affect the cham pionship title. - — The only way a champion could lose hts title In a Philadelphia ring was by a knockout. The chance of a champion being knocked out In eight rounds is small, especially as a champion is apt to be pretty sure of the caliber of an op ponent he Is meeting In a nondeci sion bout. Champions were quite willing, eager to come to Philadelphia and pick up comfortable purses for eight rounds even against fairly tough opponents. A champion knew- that while he may be outboxed here, as often happened, his title remained Intact. Few champion* will care to risk the||' title.* In 10 round bouts with a decision at the end. especially fur the purses paid in Philadelphia.

There is simply no way to avoid this slight with the stars so numer ous and the niches so limited, and there is all manner of ground for argument the post-season pastime should he abolished. Some pick several teams and qualify "first team choices” by saying play ers on the second, third and fourth teams approach this and that man so closely as to be almost a tossup But when the "first team choices” stare out alone they are the men that are femembered. The pastime must Incite more ad verse argument, all things considered, than praise in practically any in stance of selections. It strikes us, however, that there are three players whose selection will find general favor, and there are Captain George Pfann of Cor nell, tirange of Illinois and Century Millstead of Yale. Pfann is a genius quarterback and an all-around play er, able to do etery conceivable thing in football, and a piayer who starred in etery game. Grange probably ran do all that Pfann can, and has thousands of supporters w ho will claim so. Millstead is sim ply a marvelous tackle of almost super-lmman strength and finesse in his work. This trie seems in exhaustible in energy and give their all in every plaj. Kven to run a long Ust of stars < an by no means assure, general ap proval. How many wonderful playeia on small teams get little or no notice? A great many, of a surety. For In stance. would Gyle Richeaon, Yale's splendid quarterback be enjoying tbe fame he does today if he had stayed at Tulane—not a small university, either. Or would Htevens. the Blue s fine "triple threat” offensive back, if he had remained at Wauburn college? Down in Texas, competent critics praise Oscar Kckhart, Texas full back, and "Bull" Jahnson. Texas A. A M.. guard as of all-American timber, if they played with some big western or eastern eleven, they Might he termed wonder men to day, hut few know of them In a national sense now. The Pacific roast, too. where brilliant football is played, does not receive tbe gen eral recognition of its stars that victories over eastern star eleven* in the past would argue for them. The backfield boys always get th* mort fame, with few exceptions. Fine work in the line and often the play of the ends Is not noticed at all ful ly. But who can rightly choose among this crew for a "first choice" all American center: Garblsh of Army;! I»ieJoy of Yale: Blott of Michigan; King of Chicago; Brodtll of Columbia: Eckstein of Brown, and Horrel of ■California, among others? And whom would you play at right tackle; iXlllstead of A ale play* left tacklet among these; Be low of Wisconsin; fibers! and Bach of Notre Dame; Eastman of Har vard; Muirhead of Michigan: Beam and Newmryer of California: Sunds strom of t urnell; Weidrrqnit of IV. t <1., among others. And look at the guards, surh as Welsh of Colgate; Bezdek of Penn State; MrMillen of Illinois; John son of Texas A. A M.; Aschenbark -• plons coming into Philadelphia in poor condition and stalling their way through contests. They argue that the decision feature will compel the pugilistic headliners to put forth their best efforts In Philadelphia hereafter and sav that while it may decrease the appearance* here of boxers with big reputation*, it will improve the caliber of the boxing. Perhaps they are right. Philadelphia was one of the first cities In America to Introduce the no decision bout.l’nder that system the boxing dame flourished there for many year* when it was at low ebb elsewhere in the country. Other cities copied the Philadelphia system. New York had it for a long time. But New York and other cities did not like the no-decision feature. Per- ' haps that was because they had had decision bout. Under that system the haps Philadelphia, educated to the no-deciston bouts, will not care for the decision.

Williams, newly elected president of the Pacific coast baseball league, will not actively champion or oppose any draft plan at the forthcoming minor league baseball conference, he inti mated in a statement issued just be fore his departure last night for Chicago, where he will attend the meeting, "Whether players shall advance through outright sale or by means of a modified diaft is a matter fo the club owners of the various leagues interested, to decide," he said. "I can not. in my official position, do anything for or against the draft as such measures are determined by majorities of club owners and not by league president*.” The attitude of 'William H. Mc Carthy, deposed president of the league, toward the r.ew organization of the Pacific coast club Swners and McCarthy's reputed derision to seek to retain office, are "without parallel i'n the history of baseball,'* President Williams said. He pointed out that Ha predecessor was defeated for re election by a vote of five to three of the club owners, and that five-eights of the 117.000 league fund, which, he said, McCarthy "seeks to control." was contributed by the five club owners who voted McCarthy out of office.
