. Creighton Prep Basket Tossers Cinch City Cage Championship Defeating South High 15 to 10 Excellent Five Man Defense of Young Bluejays Proves Great Factor in Victory for Blue and White. By ARTHl'R GAI.EESEX. ITH the rlty cage eliainpionMhip vir tually at stake, Creighton Prep and South High engaged in a hot ly eontested bat tie at the Paekcr Ejm yesterday afternoon. The Props tors, hy running up a long lead in the first stanza, man aged to oop the contest by a 15 1 to-ui score. The excellent five-man defense of the Blue youngsters was a great factor in holding the fighting Packers’ scon down. The game was one of flic roughest played this season. Nif many players were on the floor at times, tlie gyin looked like it was holding a wrestling tournament, Instead of a basket hall game. The Prepsters had the Packers completely at their mercy in the first half, which ended 5 4 to 3, In favor of ♦Vie young Bluejays. The excellent long range eye of Monaghan, star Prep guard, did much to run up a big Blue and White score. Monaghan, time and again, eluded the Packer guards and shot from past the center of the floor, counting three times via the long route. The Prepsters faced a rejuvenated Packer team In the last half. As the Prepsters outplayed the Packers In the first half, the Southmen complete ly outclassed the city champs in the second. Time and again, the South forward wall, composed of Wedberg, Smith and Bernard, as well as Clark, outclassed, out-dribbled, and ‘‘out teamworked” the Prep lads complete ly, but the long lead the young Blue jaya ran up in the first half was too much for the light Packers. Coffey First to Score. Captain Coffey started the scoring for the Preps late in the first quar ter, by caging a neat field goal from near the center of the floor. After that the Blue squad gradually drew away from the Red and White cagera, running up six field goals to the Packers' three free throws. The Creighton Preps bombarded the South goal almost continually in that half. The light Packers seemed unable to solve the good five-man game the Blurs put up and were distinctly out classed in the frame. The heavier Blue guards completely smothered the diminutive Packer forwards on every play the Packers attempted. The Packers came hack in the sen 0ss pml half, and amid the cheers of over gnu hysterically delirious and S, hopeful students, simply dazzled the T Prepmen with their offense, which was not strong enough, however, to overcome*the Prep lead of 11 points. * Bad luck seemed to hang to the hall when the Packer^ shot in the third » quarter, the bail limmlng the basket or literally bouncing out of it. But ’ in tlie fourth quarter, the score start . ed ollmbing toward the Blue total. Patton Chances I.lneup. Coach Patton shifted Captain Wed P bert to forward, and sent in Hoden, v pivot man, to Wedberg's position st * center. It was then that South sped * the fasfgsl. Baskets by Wedberg and (.'lark put the Packers within five points of the Pr^pmen, and there they stayed. With only seven seconds to play, O’Leary, Prep guard, handled Smith * diminutive South forward a little too „ rough, and Smith was taken oftt of * the contest with a pair of cracked , ribs, Moylan was taken out iif the third quarter because of four personal fouls. The game was one of the » roughest ever played at the Packer gym. . Reeves, Captain Wedberg, Bernard | and dark starred for the Packers. Clark's floor game was excellent, drib bling down t lie floor time and again to shoot at the basket. Reeves played K. a great defensive game, as did Ber nard.

Yanks to Win, Athletics 2d, View of Mack Hugmcn Likely to Carry Off Pennant Again Provided They Don't Get Careless. ILADELPH IA, Feb. 22. — Coming out of Ilia ilugout somewhat after the annual manner of the well-known R’rer Groundhog, Cornelius McGllll cuddy, who con ducts the baseball college here known as the Philadelphia Athletic*. Indulged in a little prognos tication the other day to the effect that the New York Yankees would repeat their grab of the Amer ican League pennant and that his own White Elephants, the other six clubs notwithstanding, would finish just a step or two behind. "The Yankees will finish- again In first place this approaching sea* son. I do not think that Huggins's team can be denied, with that pow erful pitching staff, Babe Ruth and a well-balanced, hard-hitting sup pnrting cast. That is to say, they will win if they avoid the evil of carelessness, which may he born of too much early success.” Relative to his own Athletics, Con nie thinks that, after nine years of experimentation with approximately 750 ball players of all ages, sizes and descriptions, he at last has a combin ation that will finish in second place, or lie’s a hod-carrier. "That is to say,” as he whimsically is wont to qualify his expressions, the Athletics of 1924 are a second-place ball club, in Con nie’s expert opinion, but whether they finish on the first step below the landing or further down the stairs leading to the cellar, is for the future to show. Macks confidence can he at tributed to an extravagant outlay of cold cash that brought Paul Strand and AJ Simmons, outfield ers, and Max Bishop, Infielder, to the White Elephant herd. These stars, together with the players who survived Connie's exchange, walking-paper and farming-out-for . cultivation policies, have recru desced hope in the breast of the elongater leader. Strand, Bishop and Simmons, according to the be lief of Connie and Pliilly fans, will be the "stick” in the punch. The first "fence-busted” his way to fame in the Pacific Coast league with Salt I.ake City; Bishop was the leading second baseman of the International league for the last five years, in the Baltimore lineup, and Simmons knew no rival in the Dakota league, where he played an entire season without an error. Witii Milwaukee last season he rraehed into the hattling-average table with a percentage of .100. Barring the unforeseen, the Ath letics' llrteup In 1324 may be as fol lows: Hauser, first base; Dykes or Bishop, second hose; Hale, third base; Galfoway, ahortatop; Simmons, left field; Strand, center, and Miller, right. Perkins and Bruggy comprise the backstop staff, and the pitching corps contains Hasty, Harris, Roinmel and Naylor, right-handers, and Helmach and Walberg, southpaws.

HICAGO, Feb. *2. —Kddie Collins will manage the Chicago White Sot In 1923—and perhaps for two years beyond. This year he win continue mi piny second bnse and Frank Chance will re main as manager. This is the status nt the “Collins trade and “Chance resignation" rumors that have kept American league baseball fans on edge for a week past, ac cording to reports current here today. Chayles A. Comtakey, president of the Sox, is said to have made this promise to the star second sarker to get him to retnnln witli Chicago. From aources close to the two in terested parties, the mysterious ma neuvers that began with the reports at the conference of organized base ball that "Collins was to be traded to the Yankees," were explained in this way: "Chance got the idea that Collins was disappointed because lie was not named manager of the White Sox for 1924. The conference heard that Chance ha^ made a trade of Collins to the Y’ankees, feeling that Eddie might not give his best efforts to the Sox under Chance's management. "When Chance’s conclusion reached Collins, the second baseman became n bit wrathy. Then Chance tendered his resignation, which Comlskey would not accept. Wymore Gun Club Wins.

A survey of the record books made today show the University of. .Missouri, with nine conference track I championships to its credit, leads the valley in track victories. Nebraska, winner the last three years, Is sec ond in the number of meets won. The first official valley meet, held in Kansas City in 1908, was won by Ames, but Nebraska did not rompete that year. The , following year fhe meet, also held at Kansas City, went to the trarksters from tirinnell. The Kansas .Jayhawkers won the meet in 1910 and Missouri began to bask in the limelight by annexing the victory the following year. The Tigers made a sun bath by repeating in 191! and '13. Competition from outside the valley appeared in 1914. with the partici pation of the University of Chicago and Iceland Stanford university In the midwestern track classic. The foreigners proved too fleet and agile for the plains dwellers, Chicago tak ing first, and Lelan 1 Stanford sec ond. In 1915, 1916, 1917, and 1918, the Missouri Tigers, coached by "Indian" Schulte, and featuring such cele brities as Bob Simpson and Jackson Scholtz of Olympic renown, swept everything before them. An unex pected Interruption to Missouri’s jug gernaut waa recorded In J919 when the Tigers were held to a tie with Kansas, but Missouri again won in 1920. The University of Nebraska forged to the front in 1921 when Schulte, who bad led the Missourians to their victories, became head track coach at the Oornbusker institution, and won that year's meet and the competitions in 1922 and 1923. The victory of the j Comhuskers last year was largely due to their ability to score seconds : and thirds, as they took first place i In only one event. The Cornhuskers hop'- to make it j Four in a row this year. Grand Island Defeats Cotner Grand Island, Neb., Feb. 12.— « Grand Island college defeated Cotner university hers last night by the score of 24 to 22.

The locals, however, in an uphill battle, wiggled through for enough goals to give them a two-point lead, which was held during the last five minutes of play. The last half was a see saw affair, with one team ahead and then the other, many sensational shots bring ing the sudience to its feet. Manning played the stellar game for the visi tors, while Myrberg, Mandeville and Rehder divided honors for the locals in number of baskets. The University of Nebraska basket tali team meets the Washington uni verslty quintet in Lincoln tonight. Third position In the Missouri valley will be at stake.

Harry Greb Wins Easy Decision y Over Jack Reeves Californian Completely Daz* zled by Flying Gloves That the Pittsburgh “Windmill” Threw at Him. AKLANO, CaJ.. Feb. Zt.—Harry Greb of Pittsburgh, mid dleweight cham pion of the world, easily outpointed Jack Reeves, San Francisco middle 1 weight, in a four I round bout here tills afternoon. Al though it was the champion's first attempt at the four-round game, his windmill tac tics in the ring 1 stood him in good stead. Reeves .was completely outclass'd and it wasn't even necessary for the judges and referee to render a cision. Time after time the champion danced around the California, who was completely dazzled by the flying gloves which came lo him from all directions. The crowd booed Grob at times when he clinched, but the champion appeared to do this in or der to give his opponent a chan.e to catch up with him. Reeves did not shots anything against the champion. Once when Ureb was laughing and looking O’, er the ropes into the crowd the San Francisco fighter hooked him with a right to the jaw and perhaps he landed one or two other clean blows. The large crowd which witnessed the first appearance of the champion In the -far west, was painfully disap pointed by the bout, which developed into a mere exhibition after the fight ers met in the center of the ring at the sound of the opening gong. Bobby Ward, St. Paul lightweight, was knocked out by Teddy O'Hara of Oakland In tl.e second round. Stewart McLean. St. Paul feather weight. won a decision from Johnny Farr of Oakland. Chick Roach af Vallejo won from Charlie Rodgers of Los Angelss on a technical knockout in the second round.
