Midland Cagers to Play Haskell Team w Fremont, Neb., Jan/ 8.—The cur tain on the collegiate basket ball sea son In Fremont rolls up next Thurs day evening when the Haskell In dian cage quintet makes its debut In Nebraska by meeting the Midland col lege five. Good news for local court fans was announced today with the Information that Horn, Midland football, track and basket ball star of past seasons, will he in uniform for the Haskell contest. Horn comlpetcs his studies at the end of the present semester, hut does not receive his diploma un til June. As a result he is eligible to don a Midland uniform again this season until the semester closes st least. With Horn, Elliott and Curtis, three of last year's veterans on the Job, Coach Speer's hopes for an even chance against Haskell are Increased. In addition Speer Is depending on Chambers, stellar football star and star high school eager; Cunningham, Carmody, Lenhauts, Winkleman and one or two other good recruits to round out his squad. Special arrangements are being made to house the crowd that will turn out to see John Levi, Haskell star, who Is slated to jump center for the visitors. Carpenter, another Has kell grid star. Is on the basket ball squ^d. Coach Speer carries the reputation In state circles for putting out win ning basket ball teams. His record at Peru upheld this phase of his I ability as a court mentor. Damontfunyons Cota mm New York, Jan. 7.—Chicago lias taken the six-day riders, the bleary eyed, sleep-fogged men who pedal ’round and ’round a wooden saucer, arriving no place. Egg, the Swiss, and Grenda, flie Tasmanian, are leading on points. They were veteran travelers on this strangest of journeys. If the six-day riders, moved by established roads, they would see iiuicli territory in every race. As it is, they see nothing. This sort of travel does not Improve the mind. Midwinter baseball deals attract at tention. , McGraw pays $50,000 for Wayland Dean, a young pitcher from the Louisville #lub of the American asso ciation. Dean, If he can win half dozen games for McGraw In the big league, will be worth $50,000. He may be worth that sum If he wins only one game. That one game may be the margin by which the Giants will win the National league pennant. Then again, Dean may not be worth $50 to McGraw. That is the gamble of baseball. Carpentier, famous French boxer, plays Kugby football for 10 minutes, finishing badly “winded.” Carpentier, still young In years. Is ian old, old athlete. He will perhaps never regain the “wind” of his ath letic youth. Carpentier is getting ready for an other trip to America, seeking pugilis tic engagements- The writer thinks one engagement will close his tour. To draw' any money, Carpentier must meet an American light heavy weight. perhaps, Tom Gibbons, per haps Gene Tunney. Either of these men will easily beat Carpentier now. A man who rannot heat Battling Siki cannot beat boxers of the calibre of Gibbons and Tunney. Perhaps Carpentier fights again be cause he needs money. He got $200,000 out of his fight with Dempsey, a liftetlme fortune, you may say. But Carpentier has accustomed himself to a manner of living that requires much money. He will not get a fourth of $200,000 for his next appearance in America, perhaps not an eighth. Carpentier will realize that condi tions have changed since his last visit, that he, tpo, has changed. The writer lias often been asked: “Was Carpentipr ever a real great fighter?” He was indeed. He was a real fighter before the war, when !h* fought such men as Hilly Papke, Frank Klaus, llarry I>ewia, Willie Irwis. IHxic Kid, Joe Jeannette., Jeff .Smith and others. He was then about 1# years old, a middleweight in sire. Von do not hear of any 19-year old American fighters meeting nun of the calibre of Joe Jeannette, who has lieaten Harry Wills. What would be said If Young Strtti ling, for Instance, were now matrh eel with Wills? It would be said that the match was little short of crime. Yet Sttibllng Is about the same age as Car-pen tiir when Carpentier met Jeannette, then a veteran fighter, is taller and as heavy as Carpentier and has had more battles than Carpentier had had. Jeannette ^ot the decision after 15 rounds. Carpentier was 18 when he fought Papke, Kin up hnd Willie I,ewls. He was 17 when he fought and lost to the Idxie Kid and went 20 rounds with Harry I-s-wis.

BotSf “BLovjS -—TMe-tre MO LoMCSER bAMBCROutf "ThE>A.. Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunncy and Mickey Walker, in one way, resemble the oldtlmers more than any of the current famous ones of the ring. They are powerful body wallopers. Starting with John 1* Sullivan, the modern oldtlmers, so to speak, were skilled in the art of body punching. The ancient bare knuckle blokes of the London prize ring understood the value of it too. The chroniclers of the stone age of fist fighting right ly referred to the stomach as the "seat of life." They knew what they were talking about. However, the present day flight of ring men are not particularly re nowned for terrific body punching. As a matter of fact, the "contende" type is more like a street or a free for-all gladiator. His chief aim is to clip the chin in hopes of knock out results. Punches to the head are considerably more popular to day than cracks nearer the belt line. ThisI despite that the stomach Is the most effective point to attack, In addition to offering a bigger target than the head. Also it is without danger to the fighter's hands, his priceless tools of the grim game. Jack Dempsey is one of the great est body punchers the ring ever knew. His left and right drivgs to the stomach—particularly the left—have won practically all his great fights for him. They rendered his victims easy prey for the finishing clout on the chin. Dempsey’s first swing to the head about finished Willard at Toledo. A few minutes later Jack shat a murder ous left hook to the side of Willard's body that really determined the issue. The fearful havoc ’’the man killer” wrought on Carpentier’s body at Jersey City actually ruined Georges as a first-class fighting man. Dempsey really whipped Carpentier In the first flurry of infighting. The pile-driving rips to the body, punctu- ] ated with deadly smashes to the head, killed the Frenchman’s chances of winning. Jim Jeffries was a great body puncher. All his big triumphs were fashioned through this forni nf at tack. Ho whipped Corbett. Fitzsim mons, Sharkey and Ttuhlin with body whacks. Terrible was the damage on the Sharkey midsection. He splinter ed several of the sailor’s ribs, unfitting Sharkey for great fights thereafter. Bat Nelson studied an anatomical chart given him by Joe Choynskl. He discovered what a sensitive spot the | liver was. Bat decided to attack It and Invented what he called his “left- j scissors’’ punch. The Dane banged away at his opponent’s liver In the stiff glove thumb on the sore spot. John I,. Sullivan was an Inveterate body puncher and a deadly one, too. Bob Fitzsimmons was probably the greatest body puncher that ever lived. ; tie forced Jeffries to adopt Ills famous crouch to avoid these deadly hits. Fitz knocked out the adamant Tom Shar key in four minutes of fighting, the bulk of the damage being done with body smashes. He knocked out scores of good boxers wit hthese sickening short arm jolts. Stanley Ketchel was another im mortal exponent of body hits. His constantly shifting style of lighting opened up fine openings for these smashes. The men Ketchel knocked, out weren’t much as fighters there after. His punches tore out the inner lining of the stamina. Gene Tunney Indicated the import ance of accurate body swipes when he compassed the downfall of Harry Greb. He pounded the "windrr.tlls” "seat of life” until Harry was near to lifeless. This was a particularly heady piece of fighting in that Tun ney s hands couldn’t stand heavy punching on the tough bones of the head, anyway. Garten, Seeking Renewal of License, Lands in Jail Lincoln, Jan. 8.—"There's no Jus tice." moans Teddy Garten, welter weight boxer. Some time ago he got mixed up in a liquor transaction, and served a jail sentence here. Tuesday Garten came down to get his boxer's license renewed and the boxing commissioner sent him to make his peace with Tom Carroll.

New in formation charging him with bootleg ging has been filed against Garten. Since leaving here Garten has been boxing in Colorado. He was arraigned before Commis sioner Whltmoro Tuesday morning, and falling to supply a J2.000 bond satisfactory to the government, was committed to jail to await the ac tion of the grand jury.
