Oklahoma Cowboy, Substitute for Sailor Freedman in Bout Here December 17 Sarnie Smith Selected to Meet Morrie Schlaifer in Feature Event of Veterans’ Mitt Show Sooner Welterweight Is Chosen as Omaha Battler's Opponent After Conference Between Promoters and Boxing Com missioner Kavan—Pair Met in Hard-Fought Contest at Auditorium About a Year Ago. WARNIE SMITH, the Oklahoma cowboy, has been selected as Morrie Schlatter’s opponent for the boxing show which will be held at the Omaha Auditorium December 17. Schlaifer originally was scheduled to fight Sailor Friedman of Chicago, but William Kavan, Omaha representative of the boxing commission, put the ban on this bout on the grounds that Friedman was not a fit opponent for the Omaha welterweight. Following tjie Kavan edict, George Yeager of the Spanish American War Veterans, who have the December 17 da‘e. consulted Kavan on whom to select to meet Sehlaifer. Kavan's choice was Warnie Smith. Yeager agreed to get in touch with * :nitli. Yesterday afternoon Yeager < neluded negotiations with Ray Alvis, Smith's manager, to bring the Oklahoma cowboy to Omaha. Sehlaifer and Smith fought in Oma ha a year ago in January. Sehlaifer won tho decision after a 10-round battle, but Smith made something of a hit by walloping Sehlaifer so sound ly on the jaw that Sehlaifer was knocked through the ropes out of the ring. This was the only time Schlai fer ever was knocked down or through the ropes in an Omaha ring. In talking with Yeager over long , distance telephone yesterday after noon Alvis declared Smith would knock out Sehlaifer this time "Smith is in the best condition of his career,” Alvis told Yeager. "He recently has won from several good boys and is going better than he ever did. Warnie has 'Schlaifer's number1 now and you can put it down in the book that he’ll cool Sehlaifer off be fore the 10th round arrives.” Smith will reach Omaha Wednes day. He has cancelled an engage ment for December 13 In order to come to Omaha to fight Sehlaifer.

Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 9.—Failure of the University of Kansas and Kan sas Aggies to arrange a 1924 football game between them was an outstand ing feature of the schedules arranged here late yesterday at the annual meeting of the Missouri valley con ference. Both schools held October 18 open, however, and planned a conference in about 10 days to iron out their dif ficulties as the result of charges by the Aggies that university players were unnecessarily rough in their game this fall which resulted in a scoreless tie. Final action of the application of Oklahoma A and M for membership in the conference was deferred until the May meeting after a tentative vote of 4 to 5 against admittance. Athletic directors of the conference organized themselves into a separate association for consideration of sched ules and other matters directly con cerning interconference competition. Ben Glowen was elected president of the new association and Dr. F. C. Allen, director at the University of Kansas, was named secretary treas urer. The conference itself, which is composed of faculty representatives and considers principally matter* of ellgibilty, re-elected 6. W. Byer, presi dent, and IV. G. Manly of the Univer sity of Missouri, secretary-treasurer. March 8 was set as the date for annual valley Indoor track meets at Kansas City. The conference took no official cognizance of football findings for the 1923 season as no championship is awarded. The season ended with Kansas and Nebraska at the head of the standings, each with 1.000 per cent. Kansas won tnree and tied three conference games and Nebras ka won three and tied two.

Fans Approve of Hornsby Going to Chicago Cubs Loud and Long, Dismal Wail Would Come From Other Cluhs and Fans if . Giants Get Rogers. New York, Dec. 9.—A baseball ex pert says that most people will look with approval on a deal that would send Rogers Hornsby to Chicago In slead of New York, If such a one can go through. Outside of the metropolis there Is bitter feeling against the selling of any more etar players to the Giants. Regardless of whether or not Mc Graw turner! over most of his ball club for a player, there would be a loud and dismal wall from other cities Hence the cheer that will arise If the report that the Incom parable Rogers will not do his stuff for the pleasure of the blase Broad wayltes is confirmed. Both Chicago and fit. Louis would gain by a trade. Hornsby, dissatis fied and sullen at conditions that pre vail in the Mound city, would not be able to do his best there, but under the spur of ambition in Chicago he would rise to his greatest heights. On the other hand. If St. Louis could get a flock of fair players, their punch would be increased. Actually, If the deal goes through, It will do baseball a whole lot of good; much more good than if Homs by catne to New York. This must Is* admitted even by those enthusi asts who want to continue watching the Giants sweeping aside all Na tional opposition. The passing of Hornsby to the Cubs would give that club an Inflelder of ability never equalled in Chicago's history, even In the days when their marvelous Inner line of defense was the talk of baseball.

J.inooln, Dec, 9.—Basket ball will come Into its own now that the 1924 football schedule Is about out of the way In spite of the fact that the sea son does not open for the Huskers I until along in the middle of January. With announcement that Bill Kline would coach the Nebraska team this season, Husker followers immediately i began getting set for a big year In j the cage sport. For some time now, Nebraska has been somewhat overbalanced on its athletic prowess. Turning out foot ball teams than which there were no greater, other teams representing the Huskers have not done so well. Prospects now- would indicate a change Coach KUne proved h!s worth not only at Nebraska Wesleyan ,when he was turning out basket ball teams that measured the five from the uni versity too regularly but during his regime as head football and basket ball coach at University of Florida. It is not generally known, but Coach Kline s team at Nebraska j Wesleyan was the first one that ever . used a five-man defense. That was about seven years ago and since that time that style of play has been adopted ell over the country. Other | coaches were quick to see the ad vantage of the "five up and five down1' idea and began drilling their learns accordingly. It is too early to predict what sort of a team Nebraska will put In the race it will be a well coached team. That much is certain. There have been between 40 and 50 candidates out every evening for the last month but they have been confining them selves to fundamentals and shooting baskets Monday begin* the scrim mage practice, according to present plans. Monday also will find the basketeers among th* football squad present The schedule has not been approved and will not be until some changes are made.

IJ> DAVIS J. WALSH. 1IICAC.O, Dee. Judge Dandia' lyric tenor dulcet sweet on the tender note*, will mingle with Ban Johnson'* hara tbne and the ba* ■4 profoundo of John A. Heydler in perfect accord at the major league baseball meetings hare this week. Close harmony will be the slogan and none other. The judge said as much in a pre-meeting interview with the writer this afternoon. Judge laindia gave all rumor* of impending discord the merry guffaw and intimated that Han Johnson and himself were little pal* together—or would be after the judge had button holed the pair and explained all. I am the victim of a misunder standing." he declaimed. “They have made it apparent that I am trying to introduce a program of reform whereas, in fact, 1 am merely the clearing house for suggested changes These were mads to me by club own ers from time to time, and when the list was complete X had it sent out from this office to the magnates for their consideration. At no time did I represent It as my program." “Do you look for any trouble from Johnson or other *ources?'’ we asked. "I have heard nothing that would indicate a controversy of any kind. Of course there have been rumblings, but I don't scare at rumble* any more. “I have been given to understand that it ia my desire to take control of and regulate the umpires Noth ing could lie farther from the truth. Just at present the umpires, through some oversight, have no source of redress In case of disputes w.th league president*. Just as a matter of common justice, I think that my office should be constituted a sort of appeals to settle difficulties of this kind. “This, as a condition, is much to be desired over civil action in the courts which might follow If an umpire Is treated unjustly.” Meantime, the trade winds blew all too gently around the lobby of the congress. No one knew anythlrc and proceeded to prove it with the first three words. Golf Association Elects Officers Chicago.
