IQmaha Bee Sports Takeo Harada Com mg to Front as Leading Japanese Tennis Player By VINCENT RICHARDS. National Indoor Tennis Champion. K\V YORK. Jan. 25—A new na tional /tennis champion has ap peared in Japan. He is Takeo llar ada, formerly a student of Kelo university. Har ada won the sec ond annual championship of the Japanese Lawn Tennis as sociation held at Osake, November 21, to November 28, when he de ■•eatea robe, 5-7, 6 3, 5-7, 6-2, 6-2. According to a recent statement ( ’ made by Zenzo Shimiilzii, captain of tile Japanese Davis cup team - last year, Ilaralda is expected to come to American early next spring, lie will plaj'.in a nuin * bcr of the leading tournaments anrl will in all probability be a member of tbo Japanese Davis cup team, should Japan challenge for the in ternational team trophy in 1921. • Marada succeeds Fukuda, who won i he first Japanese association chant pionship a year ago and who after ward cams to this country as a mem ber of the Japanese Davis cup team last summer. Fukuda won the 1922 championship when he defeated Ohta in straight sets. Harada took the measure of the same player in the semi-final round of the recent cham pionship in a much easier fashion. The new Japanese champion has made rapid advancement in the game during the past two years. In 1922 he was defeated by Fukuda, who is nmv living in the United States. Since that defeat Ilaradt^ lias evidently improved tremendous ly, This would be borne out by the fact that immediately t after the Japanese championship, he met and defeated that great international player, Irliiyo Kuinagae, in straight sets, Heports have it that although the famous “Itchy” was. not in per fect condition he retained full con trol of his racquet pud court tech nique. Ilarada's victory was as im pressive as the scores would appear to indiratc. This new Japanese sensation will reach America during the early part of April, and will enter one of the well know"n universities for a post graduate course following his studies at home. rSarazen Wins i Opening Match By Associated PrcM.

Champidns and Their Chances for 1924 ADOI.FO Ll'QlE. □HERE have been star Cuban ballplayers, but it remained for Adolfo I.uque, of Havana and the Reds, to carry Cuban baseball glory to Its highest point. I,uque will be 33 years old on MaiTh 2, and Ills 32d year of exist ence was the best lie ever had. Through 1923 the Cuban Red not only had a higher percentage of games t»on, with 27 victories against Jl defeats, but he also al lotted fewer earned runs per game by one of the most decisive mar gins ever known. Where most of the leading pitchers In the new age of hard hitting were allowing over 3 earned runs each start upon a general average, I.uque suppressed his opponents to some thing like 1 91, a prodigious feat Jn an hge when mopt club batting av erages are between .290 and .300. i If I.uque ran keep up his last season puce througli 1921 the Iteds should he favored to win the pen nant. A jump of 27 virtoriee, with the additional help he will get, means a stout advantage. In the matter of earned run effectiveness. I.u«|ue finished in fiftii place in 1922, with the average at 3.31 tal lies |st contest. That year lie won 13 games and dropped 23. Ilis rise last season was one of the most spectacular of the season's many spectacular episodes. Figuring pitchers from one yeat to another is merely a guess. But no pitcher with the amount of stuff i.uuue sent over the plate last sea son should drop to any marked de gree. It was not a matter of luck, but a matjer of great pitching, that carried along. Few ballplayers begin to improve at 33, but Lufjue, with a good club to back him up, should be among the leading snipers ef the year. We have a hunch that after to morrow the call of the sun may lure us beyond the typewriter's range for the next two weeks. Iti view of the impending sportive cy clone that seems to he ahead for 1921. a two weeks’ respite seems necessary in behalf of a running start for a new campaign. ■ Oregon Coach Resign?.

It so hhpiiened that the glasses pre sented everything to the dog in miniature size. The pup walked down tlies trect and saw a (ireat Dane going ills serene way. He tackled him and nearly was swal lowed in one gulp. He later on saw a horse and quite probably thought it was about his own size. He tackled the horse and was kicked 13 feet Into a snow hank.

Bonzo finally rambled home and was presented wltlr the shin bone of an elk. Thinking from the apparent size of it that he was getting part of a spare rib. he gulped at it. A vet erinarian had to remove ft to keep Bonzo from strangling to death.

State Teachers Defeat Maroon Quintet, 21 to 18 Game Is Featured by Rough ness—Coach Ail am .Men Show Improvement in Their Teamwork. y - Before an enthusiastic crowd at the Orriaha University gym Thursday night, after leading the first half, the Maroon five lost a hotly contested game to Kearney State Teachers’ col lege by the score of 21 to 18. Neilan of Omaha was the first to score by making a free throw. Hol land tied the tally for the invaders with another free throw. The first field goal of the contest was made by miion for Kearney. The tight guard ing of both teams was the feature of the first half and the Omaha quin tet was running in its best form thus far this season. Kearney could not seem to fathom the defense of the Maroons and it,looked as If Omaha would at last win a game. Plater was easily the star of the first period, making three field goals in succession. In the latter part of the first half Anderson was substi tuted for Meek, Fried and Ordla and Cox for Moryis. The half ended, 11 to 9, in favor of Omaha. In the second half the Kearney quintet seemed endowed with new life and pep. Dillow started a scor ing orgy by tossing one through the hoop from almost the middle of the floor. Holland and Denton followed him In quick succession and then Cox registered two more tallies for the in vaders. At <his stage of the game time was called and Ordla was sub stituted for Bozendahl. Plater stopped the Kearney ava lanche by netting a perfect toss. By this time the play was getting rough, and at times aamany as four players were in one pile. During one of these mad scrambles Ordla suffered the loss of one of his front teeth which was broken off. Omaha revived and Meek dropped the ball through the hoop. Ordla seemingly out for revenge dropped in two more but Pangk registered an other for Kearney - Husker Cagers Hard at Work Lincoln.
