March 8. — A "morning after” doubt aa to the absolute deadli ness of Luis Fir po's man-killing right spread over the local colony _fight fans today p as an outcome of the Argentine's belated knockout of Krmlnia Spalls, heavyweight ehsfm pion of Italy, last night. Game to the last, but too weak to avoid the punch that laid him low, Spalla went down for the full count In the 14th round after giving Firpo one of the hardest fights of his career. The Wild Bull could do nothing with Ills smaller and lighter op- | ponent in the early rounds and twice was in obvious distress him self. In tlie tenth round. Spalls leaped at the Argentine giant, rain ing blows upon his face and body. Both went down in a heap with Spalla on top and Firpo was A\i.ty when he arose and bleeding at the mouth. When the bell sounded, ending the 13th, Kirpo again was groggy as a result of repeated rights to the Jaw. However, rights to the body took all of the steam out of the Italian in the final round. leaving him wide open for the knockout punch. Firfco tried to make use of his weak left hand in the early rounds, but without visible effect. Tlie exhibition did not add to the glamour of Firpo's reputation and many fight critics here were in* dined to bo apprensive today about Firpo's coming fight with AI Belch, the American heavyweight.

Lincoln, March 8.—Selecting an all Missouri valley basket ball team pre rents the usual difficulties of findinj enough places for players of merit These two teams were selected on * basis of season's performance. The; ■lie offered as a basis for argumen. ..nd nut in a sense of ultimate perfec tion. Basket ball, like other sports, i( peculiar in lhat in one game a piayei may appear to lie a barn burner an* in the next hit a slump which make; him appear a mediocre performer. There will probably be a wall g* up because both forwards wen picked from the Oklahoma team. 1^, there were two better in the confer ence we did not see them and under the round robin schedule it makes it possible to see ail teams In action at least once. But there is where that peculiarity of sport bobs up. When the different teams played here their respective stars may have been In a slump. Whether they were or not if it were possible to match the first team picked against any other in the con ference we would be willing to put a few ducats down on the selection to come out in front. Center Position to Goodson, Orr Goodson. Nebraska's lanky renter, was given the center position. He not only played good basket ball, but he played it consistently. There are many who think this berth should go to Ackerman, the Kansas pivot, who pulled several games out ot the fire for the Jayhawkers. In the two Nebraska-Kansas games Goodscn out played Ackerman. Hence the placing *>f the Nebraskan on the first tesm. Ackerman is given the captaincy of the second quintet. Ant representative team of the con ference could not be named without putting Milo Tipton at guard. His sense of the proper thing to do at the proper moment >aved many a basket from being counted against Nebraska. Black of Kansas is named captain and given the other guard position. A cool, heady player with plenty of en durance he led the Jayhawkers to la victories during the season and piled** up a conference record which number ed some 30-odd consecutive victories before Oklahoma turned back the Kansans. Cozier at Forward. On !he aeeond team Kenneth Cozier, Nebraska forward, is given ona for ward and Benz, leading point-getter of the conference and captain of the Orinnell team is placed at the other ' .rward. Captain Boelter. Drake, and Mathias Volz, Nebraska, are ;iven the guard assignments. Aside from the player* selected there may be no other* agree that w» were right with one ezreption and that one exception will be sufficient to placate the effect* of any "Bronx cheer which may come our way *« the result of attempting to name the best team. Coach Kline. Nebraska coach, and the man who invented the five-man defense, took a look at the selections and okayed them to a man. "I be lieve those 10 men represent the best in the conference. However, It Is all a matter of personal Judgment " be said. \ ii la a Annexes Class E 1 itle After Extra Period Tilt l.tncoln, March S.—Yutan and Nel son waged a fierce battle for class K honors at the armory Saturdav afternoon.
