The game, played May 10, 1872, was won by the ^ronclads, who drove In the remark able number of 110 runs. Probably Ofving to a dear day and a dusty diamond the wet weather aggregation ■ of Web Foots scored only 26 runs. 1 wHlch would be sufficient to win • most any game In these days. . Since that time a number of • changes In connection with the his • torlcal setting of the game have tak • «n place. What then was known as • Liberty, 8. I)., now is Rtirhank, S.

The games will be called at 8 o'clock. The Links have come through the seaspn without having a defeat chalked against them. Coach Drum mond's crew will have an opportunity to topple them frc#i their perch to night. - The two squads met last Friday on I he Lincoln court, and, from reports, the only thing that saved the capital ists from defeat was the sudden blinking out of the lights. In the 18 minutes the game had progressed the Omaha boys had out played the capitalists in every de partment. Five jtlnglng defeats have left their mark on the champion quint, and the Techsters are staging a comeback to vindicate themselves. The Tech men have been advancing in great style the last few weeks, and the traditional Tech fight which has carried the Drummond quints to a pair of state basket ball champion ships hangs around the Tech camp In big gobs. With the rangy Swede, Oharnqulst, of all-state honors, caging the leather with his old-time canny precision, the Maroon outfit seems to have struck Its pace at last. The prep men have spurted out of their early season lethargy and from the brand of basket ball exhibited last Saturday night at the burial of the Columbus five under a 39 to 8 score, the rejuvenated Techsters look promising. Coach Drummond has been pushing his cagers along at a fast clip In practice throughout the week, and the Cuming street boys will be in fine fettle for tonight's contest.

That was the claim set up last spring when an Iowa school boy, by the name of Rill Lyons, walked away with tha high Jumping event at the mldwestern A. A. U. meet at Omaha. According to the story, which un doubtedly lias lost nothing In the tell ing. Lynns Just happened to he in Omaha on the day of the meet. He heard of It and wandered out to the field, where It was being held. When the high Jump rolled around, he offered to compete for any organi sation which would defray his en trance expense*. The Omaha Athletic club is said to have put him In and he did six feet on* Inch In hi* street shoes taking off from a soft place. It makes an excellent story, at any rate, and while there may be a supercilious eyebrow or two raised over It, there Is no question but what Lyons can do all that Is claimed for him, ac cording to those who have seen him I tn action, among whom la Coach Henry Schulte. Lyon* la now a Cornbusker. He entered school the aecond semester. Coach Schulte may take him to Kan sas, Saturday, along with Hobb Tur ner, Nebraska's veteran high Jumper, and between the two of them, Coach Schulte believes Tom Poor, the well known bar clearer from Kansan will unquestionably have to extend. There will be probably about 14 Nebraskans on the team, which Coach Schulte takes to Kansas City, ah though he haa not yet selected the men who go. Besides the track team, three others are In action this week end. The wrestlers go to 1-awrence, for their second conference meet bearing with them the glory of a victory over Northwestern; the basket ball team goes to Columbia for a crack at Mis souri Friday night, and thence to St. T/Oiils, Saturday night for a game with Washington. The swimming team meets Washington at St. Louts Fri day. Muldoon Is Once Again the Bone of Contention on Boxing Board Dissension Once Thought Over Oops Up Again When For mer Chairman Fails in Obtaining Appointment at Meeting—May Affect Dempsey Knots. By ARTHUR STRI’WE. New York, Heb. 7.—Just when it appeared aa If everything wan ae rena In boxing circle* and that the furore which may have killed the game In thla atate had passed, an other dark cloud ap|>enrrd on the horizon Htid friction la evident among thoae who control the aport. William Muldoon, former chairman of the hoard, who wna reappointed a member recently by Governor Smith, la the bone of contention. Aa the atory go** tho round of boxing circles, Muldoon, erstwhile czar of the board, dots not tnko kindly to being relegated to a minor poaltlon in directing the destinies of the Ivox Ing game. Humor hna It that the for mer czar attended Tuesday's meet ing of the hoard, fully expectant I hat he would he elevated to his former poaltlon as generalissimo. But he reckoned not on the other two mem her* of the hoard—George Brower and James Harley. These two gentlemen had oilier ideas than making themselves subor dinate tn Muldoon In ruling of the hoard, so the report gpes. Brower and Harley Informed Muldoon that Brower wne to he elected chairman of the board. Muldoon could not sec It that way. He Intimated to hla fellow mem her*, acisirdlug to the rumbling* that earn* from (he meeting, that he, Mol doon. was to he chairman and If hr wa* not given Hie post he would not serve on the hoard at all. Bill tils wrath fell on deaf eiis. Bmuei and l arley refused to budga drum their stand. And Muldoon after delivering Ills ultimatum, left the hieeting tn a huff. Although nothing official has heeu given out regarding the board meet ing, the fuct thHt Muldoon was not appointed chairman was gratifying to promoters of the game. Muldoon In know n to he opposed to mixed bouts and also to holding boxing exhibitions In twit parks. The promoters were looking to have Jock Dempsey exhibit Ids wares at ■n outdoor meet thin summer, and tile only hall park available was the i'olo grounds, boxing being barred at the Yankee stadium. Had Muldoon gotten tils old post, the promoters would hnvs be*ui up a tree as far ns New’ York city was concernsd. It also would have put the kibosh on n bout between the champion and Harry Wills, and the latter and Lula Ftrpo. Hence tilers is much merri ment among the promoters because Muldoon failed.

Kan , Feb. 7.—Thirty four straight basket ball victorle# In the Missouri Valley conference Is the record hung up by the University of Kansas. The thirty-fourth win was recorded " ednesday night when Kansas de feated Washington, 17 tp 16. Back in 1922 the Jayhawkers quit losing games. That year Kansas tied with Missouri for the Valley title. Last year the Jayhawkers went through the conference season with a perfect record and with the half way mark reached this year they are still without defeat. The remarkable record of Kanaas Is a tribute to the ability of Coach "Phog" Allen, who cams to the school In 1920 and Immediately began overhauling training nnd coaching methods. His teams are drilled in a short shot and passing game which keeps all players in action and eliminates spectacular individual play which is a detriment to team work. Psycholo gy is stressed by Allen and the In ferlority complex long ago was ban ished from the Jayhawk nest.

"Humpty Dumpties of 1924." Ike is the manager of five fight ers, win, lose or draw. But the seven lean rounds have descended upon Egypt and Ike Is sadder than a trout on a hot plank. His big light-heavyweight, Charley McKenna, was flattened for the short marathon route by Leo Oates. Ike bit the lighted end- of a cigar and figured that loth incidents were ac cidents. Then Kay Keiser was pressed and ironed by Happy Littleton down in Dixie, the home of mammies, malaria and wheat cakes. That was a cor rugated blow to Ike, but he chalked it up in his hooks *as an act of an ad ministration over which democrats and fight managers have no control. Then dine the big bass rumble on the keyboard of disaster. Charley White met Pal Moran, and much to Ike's weather-beaten aston ishment, Charley spent 10 seconds on the Queensbury rug after taking a beating which would have soured a drum. It might have beeen worse. And it was. Sammy Bienfeld was crashed hori zontal by Sammy Cohen and it seem ed that the furies had exhausted their bag of tricks. Bgt only last Friday night in the cool of the winter evening. Jack Stark was tossed into the mah jong discard by Tony Vacarelli. The last of Ike’s fighters was laid like a eomerstoue. Bienfeld is a bantam. Stark a _ feather* White a lightweight. Kei ser a middle. McKenna is a heavy So you can see that Ike’s sorrow runs the morose scale from B flat to B flatter. . But Ike is stil puffing on his cigar and figures it might have been worse. It might. It might have been him. Joie Ray Rung Sixth. Newark. N.
