I OKLAHOMA BEATS HL8KERS AMI GETS NEW STAIIH M. OMAHA alumni of University "f Nebraska are nt ill scratching their heads ami wondering how tl\e lowly Oklahoma university team happened to lieat tlie doughy Corn buskers in the second game of the season. A group at the University club last night came to a conclusion that Ne braska team was suffering from a reaction front the terrific struggle of the week before when it stopped the great Grange and held the powerful Illinois team to one touchdown. Entering the conversation at this point a Nebraska student who had witnessed the game at Norman, Okla., and had spent the evening lifter Hie game at a fraternity house (here, spoke as follows: “In the first place it was too liot for football at Norman. In the second place those Oklahoma boys played like a hunch of demons, and they hud reason for it, too. It meant eierythiug lo them, for like the rest of the Valley teams Nebraska was their big game. IStif there were two additional reasons: “The Oklahoma Alumni associa tion promised that if the team heat Nebraska funds to build a big new stadium ivnpld be raised immediate ly, The second reason was a more personal one. The Oklahoma team had got away hi a had start, losing the first two games of the season. So, on the day before the Nebraska game, every man on the football s<|Uad look a pledge not lo sjiave until they had won a game. I tell you, that was a des perate bunch. "But, despite all this, Oklahoma wouldn’t have beaten Nebraska but for a lucky break when they blocked a Nebraska punt and turned It into a touchdown in the first few minutes of the game. Then they fought like supermen to hold their advantage.. OMAHAN SUPPING AS WELTER FIGHTER-INACTIVITY CAUSE OF UKID’S” SLUMP IN RING Malone’s Showing Against Schlaifer Throws Shadow on Former’s Bout Here With Charlie W est. English Middle weight. ORRIE SCIILAI KEK'S heatlnfl at tho hands of Jock Malone in Min neapolis last night ias caused follow ers of the Knights of the Cauliflower ■ •nr on Omaha's fight rlalto to voice their opin ion that Schlaifer is about at the end of his fight Ing carer. They base their . gurnent on the tact that Schlaifer finds it .1 mighty hard job to get into condition and that he is losing v hat little footwork and ring science was his. .According to reports from Min neapolls, Malone was declared the winner over Schlaifer In the third round of a scheduled 111-round bout after .Mnrt'ie had twice fouled Jock. Th» reports of the fight also say that Schlaifer Imd been floor ed and was on the verge of being knocked out when he was dis qualified for hitting Malone in the groin. In the first two rounds Malone easily outhoved Schlaifer. hut in the third started out to hand the Ornahan a good beating and was succeeding until he was fouled. A telegram received from Tat Boyle, Schlalfer's manager, reads as follows: "Morrle Schlaifer did not lose to Malone on a foul, hut hit him fwiee in the stomarli and Malone went down claiming foul. It was allowed by the referee. Schlaifer has offered to fight Malone again on a winner-tako-all liases. Schlaifer had knocked Malone to the ropes twire before he claimed foul." Reports of the fight fail to reveal where Schlaifer knocked Malone against the ropes. The report* do say, however, that after outboxing Schlalfer for two round*, Malone waded Into the Nebraska In the third and after Jabbing Schlaifer’s head back several times with a straight 0 left to the mound, shot over a right cross that landed flush on the point jf Schlaifer'a chin. Schlalfer sank to the floor as the result of the blow, hut started get ting up as the referee started to count. Malone then rushed in to fin ish Morrie and the latter Is claimed to have struck Malone in the groin. 4 The St. 1'aul middleweight re fused to accept the bout on a foul and tbe fight continued. Jock eon tinned his assault on Seltlaifer and was handing Morrie a good beating at rinse quarters when the Omahan, according to reports, again fouled Malone. The referee then gave the bout to Malone. Malone's fight against Schlalfer also brought out another Interest ing hit of information for Omaha fight fans. The reports of last night’s fight sa.v that Malone knocked Schlalfer down. It takes a mighty hard wallop to ^ knock Schlalfer down. When Malone fought Charlie West. Englishman, in a bout at the Auditorium reeently, the bout was slopped berause of no fighting on the part of the principals. At a meeting of the boxing commission. West's purse was held up. Malone's wasn't. Malone claimed he was hitting West as hard as he could, but It's a cinch that If Jock can knock Schlalfer down, he wasn't hitting West as hard as he could. We are sur“ Schlalfer can take more punishment than West. The Minnesota boxing commission meets this afternoon to decide on what to do with Sehlaifer's end of his purse from last night's bout.
