Husker-Jayhawk Contest to Feature Missouri Valley Conference Cage Race Kansas Squad ~ in Form Since Lo to Aggies Victory for Nebraska Will Virtually Cinch Title; Washington Schedules Pair of Games. HR Kansas basket ball team, unex pectedly shoved Into the background two weeks ago by the Kansas Aggies, Ims been marshaling its forces for a drive to recapture Its lost prestige and will swing into action Saturday In one of the most important games of the Mis souri valley confer ence season. The .layhawkerS will meet Nebraska at Lincoln in a contest which out ranks in import unes other valley games of file week. The Huskers, now leading the con ference, will he put to the acid test hy a Kansas team which ail but an nihilated the Kansas City Athletic club in a non-conference game last week. If the Huskers can down Kansas , Saturday, their position at the top will probably be secure for the sea son, but fans whd favor Nebraska to win are In the minority. Washington, joint holder of the lead, plays two games during the week. The Pikers should win from Misosurl in their game at St. Louis Tuesday but when Washington goes to Nor man Saturday to play Oklahoma the St. Louis team will have a genuine battle on Its hands. The Sooners held the Pikers to a scant two-point win on the Washington floor recently. Tile Kansas Aggies, another team well up to the front in the race, plays at Grinnell Saturday on the first game of a trip into Iowa.. The Aggies will have no snap. Grinnell has a good learn and with the advantage of ils home floor should be hard to heat. Drake and Ames, bitter rivals, will meet at lies Moines Saturday in a game that means much to the two Iowa teams but which means little fo the conference in general, since both quintets are trailing. Washington showed great posslbll ltias^last week by walloping Drake, 40 to 8, In the most decisive victory scored in a conference game this sea son. Drake also lost to the Kansas Agtfies and Missouri during the week. Ames threw a scare Into Oklahoma hy holding the Sooners to a 27-to-24 victdfy. but failed to maintain the ; pace and was decisively defeated by Grinnell, 32 to 15.

Washington, Jan. 26.—In an effort to avert a public battle over presiden tial appointments the senate this afternoon returned the nomination of Harlan F. Stone as an associate jus tice of the supreme court to the judi ciary committee for further Investi gation.

Washington, Jan. 26.—The fight against the elevation of Attorney Gen eral Harlan F. Stone to the United States supreme court was renewed In the senate today behind closed doors.

Cummins declared that Heflin was "In order’ 'and could resume his at tack on Stone as a "question of per sonal privilege" whenever he desired to do so. Heflin said he would speak later. With a few minor matters disposed of, the senate then went Into execu tive session and the fight on Stone again burst forth from behind locked doors. Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, who has appeared as coun sel for his colleague. Senator Burton K. Wheeler, resumed a denunciation of Stone's activity against Wheeler. He charged the attorney general with "persecuting" his colleague.

He expects to remain there several days. ’ "WttTIHGI N EXT Of OVER omnwarw When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug o-war. That was the AA recipe for major sports for many centuries. And many fans bought tickets to see Greek meet Greek. Now, when Greek meets Greek, they both buy tickets to see Finn meet Finn. The lad with the kitchen-mop haircut Is a Finn. Ills name Is Willie Hitola and he Is one of the greatest runners who ever elbowed on the turns. Hike ail Finns, this Finn trains on herring. But his herring must be slower than the herring that Nurmi eats. F.itola and Nurmi art deadly enemies and they never speak as Nurmi passes by. Nurmi has passed by many times. But Ritola swears he will beat Paavo If It hairiips him. He had a big chance in the laat Olympics to make good his boast, but didn’t have the legs. They rigged up a special rare in Madison Square Garden last week and once again Nurmi measured Riiola for a brown derby. There can he no doubt that Nurmi is the last word in the Finnish dictionary, hut Kitoia keeps plugging along like a turtle, Imping that history will stutter. m A T* 11 • r TIA JUANA.

By JACK CK-fNAR. By International Service Stuff Correspondent. Herrin, 111., Jan. 24—While 8 Glenn Young's body lay In state at the First Baptist church today, Coroner George Bell formally opened his Inquest into the deaths of the colorful klan leader and of Deputy Sheriff Ora Thomas, Ed Forbes and Omer Warren, slain In the renewal of the Williamson county "war" here Saturday night. Meantime, the town of Herrin la under rule of the Illinois National guard and people are quietly moving about the city and attending etrictly to their own affaire. A hundred versions of the shooting exist. Assisted by State's Attorney Arlle Boswell, the coroner's task is to de termine how the fatal fight started, who fired the first shot and by whose hands the victims died. Klansmen charge that Young was killed by Thomas, who shot him from behind. They say that the klan lead er fell dying and with his last strength fired the bullet that cut down the deputy sheriff, who was reputed to be the head of the Flam ing Circle. Claim Thomas Trapped. Antl-klansmen declare that Thomas was trapped In a grill room by Young and his cohorts. They say Young, Forbes snd Warren were in the grill room when Thomas walked In alone. Young immediately went for his gun, according to their version, but Thom as beat him on the draw and killed him. Then klansmen on the outside started shooting Into the room, ac cording to Thomas’ friends, and kill ed Thomas and two of their own men, Forbes and Warren, as well. Antl-klansmen today openly charg ed that coroner's probe was a Joke, that every Juror was a klansman and that the inquest would result in a klan white washing. The real facts will become known when the regular grand Jury meets February 4, at Marlon, the ant! klan faction said. Young's funeral has been set for Wednesday morning, and. klansmen say, tt will be the grandest ever held in Illinois. But Herrin—on the surface—Is quiet. The residents are always good when the soldiers are in town. Widows Weep. Four women, however, widowed by prejudice and hatred, weep despair ingly. The widows sre Mrs. S. Glenn Young, Mrs. Ora Thomas, Mrs. Ed ward Forbes snd Mrs. Homer Wsr rtn. At different hours, the widows visited the undertaking rooms. Three of the women stared at their dead with eyes that appeared not to register complete comprehension. The fourth touched with groping fingers the features of the man who had been her husband. She Is Mrs. Young. And she is blind. Onn of a score of bullets directed at her klansman husband last May by sntlklan gunmen permanently destroyed her vision. AH through Sunday, attired only 1n negligee, Mrs. Young sat up in her tied In the Young suite at a Herrin hotel staring with Unblinking, expres sionless eyes. "I wish I had been with him," ahe repeated listlessly; "I wish they had killed me, too." Son Hecognlrea Body. Bye witnesses of the ehooting who claimed affiliation with neither side, states the klanerrten carried away their dead and left the body of Thom as In the rdom. The body of Forbes u-as recognised by his owa son. Fnrbss had fallen near the door In side with hts fest on tha sill. Ths boy helped pull the body out of the smoke filled room. "Why. tha*'a dad," he exclaimed collapsing. Thomas wss shot squarely between tha eyes. Its had expected, It was said, that he would be “got" that night. Earlier In the evening, a shot had been fired at him while he stood near the city hall. The bullet nar rowly missed City Judge E. N. Bowen. Thomas took refuge In tha city hall and telephoned hts wife, accord ing to a man who was In tha room with him. "They took a pot shot at nie." ha told her. "I think, however, every thing haa quieted down and therS will be no more trouble." Mrs. Thomas expressed the fear of further trouble and offered to bring him another gun. Thomas, accord ing to klansmen. figured In the shooting of August .10, when saaen men were shot and killed at John Smith's garage here, Saturday night's clnsh was an aftermath of tha August bloodshed, It was said.

Coming on lop cif Nurmis unex pected setback at the hands of his countryman, 35-year-old Gunnar Nil son, who holds the American cross country championship, the showing of the Phantom Finn this week will hold added interest. There was an impression among some critics after Saturday's meet that Nurmi was be co'miTig stale and lacked.the “kick’ usual to his finishing sprint, but to offset this view was the fact that Nurmi added two world records to bis string and actually 99 yards better than Nilson over the whole route of the race, since the latter, starting with a handicap of 100 yards, was able to break the tape first by only a stride.
