Omaha Bee Sport • _ _ Huskers Beat Blueiavs bv V J •' Score of 15 to 11 Tipton Stars in Cornhuskers* Second Victory Over Bine jays in as Many Years; Brown Plays Well. HERE was too much Nebraska ifor Creighton last night when bas ket ball teams from these two universities met in their second annual court con test, and the Huskers left the gymnasium hold ing the long end of a 15 to 11 score. The Hoopsters started sprinkling salt on the Blue jays’ tail feathers early in the con test and kept it up throughout the game. Nebraska, didn't have very much on Creighton in a basket ball way, but the visitors had enough at the right time to defeat the Blue jays. Early in the contest it was evident that the game would develop into a close-guarding affair. The crowd— the largest to see a, basket ball game at Creighton gymnasium—was thrilled time and again by the close guarding and play of the hoopsters. The pass ing on both sides was ragged and the teamwork failed to play much of an important part in the contest because of the close guarding. The Creighton team work failed to function against Nebraska as it has against other teams this season. The favorite down-the-center-of-the-floor dash of the Creighton forwards was stopped completely by the Huskers last night. Nebraska stopped this inode of attack in the first half. Creighton then resorted to the long shot route, hut failed to score hut once front long range. “Ike” Ma , honey, star Creighton center, was not hi the game, and his absence was a handicap to the Bluejays. Nebraska presented a basket hall team composed of rangy, speedy and well coached players. With the ex ception of "Billy” Isher, the Huskers had it on the Bluejays in size. Good son, Ekstrom and Tipton are long, rangy individuals, who handle a basket ball in fine style. The score at the end of the first half favored the Bluejays, 6 to 4. The Huskers broke the Ice when Tipton sent the leather sailing through the hoops from the side. Volze and Klepser. the latter a sub stitute for Ekstrom, were found guilty of fouling, and Brown made two points on each foul, which tied the score for the first, hut not the last time during the evening. Then came a bit of spectacular team work ori the part of the Blue jays. Creighton got the ball and passed and dribbled down to the • enter of the floor, where Cnrenman passed the leather to Ryan. The latter dribbled to one side and then sl»“t a field goal. The Creighton crowd gave one grand hoop, hoop, hooray. In a lively mlxup under the basket this same Ryan got the ball and with one hand flipped in a field goal. Again the Creighton crowd yelled and yelled loud and long. Just before the first half ended Goodson, tall, lanky Goodson of Vebraska, tossed the hall in the hoop with one hand, giving the Huskers four points to Creighton's six at half time. Soon after the second half started the Huskers opened up with a streak of spectacular teamwork that netted Goodson a field goal which tied the count at six all. Joe Speicher was caught fouling ami KUstnmi made one point out of two trials, which wasn't so had. Then Volz, Nebraska captain, was nabbed for flipping Traiitman and the lat ter scored from the free throw line. Tipton, the flashy Tabor Ha.) bns lieteer, caged a field goal and the Huskers took the lead for the re mainder of the game. Hate In the second half Brown flip ped the hall in the hoops from the side lines, bringing Creighton's score to nine. With the score 11 to 9 In favor of Nebraska and two minute* left in which to play, Goodson came through with a neat field goal, boost ing the Huskers’ chances of victory. In a close mlxup under the basket little Johnny Trautman scored a field goal from the side. It was the final Creighton score of the game and put the Bluejays within two points of Nebraska. Only a few seconds were left. The crowd yelled, yelled and yelled as the Bluejays got the hall and as the Huskers got the leather. Volz of Nebraska made a long pass to Tip ton, who dribbled past a Creighton hoopster, turned, anil shot a pretty field goal, Nebraska's parting shot nt the Bluejays. If there were any outstanding stars of the game one cannot overlook Tip ton of Nebraska and A1 Brown of Creighton. These two hoopsters played well. They were big cogs in their respective machines.

The com pilation of entries will b e rushed and it I* expected that the official list of Derby nominations will he an nounced about March 7 or 0. The demand for promising Derby material has ne\rr been greater than during this winter. The bidding start ed last fall when (senator Johnson X. Camden was offered $10,00 for his crack 2-year-old, l*as Seul. Senator Camden declined to sell The rnlt, only to meet the misfortune of losing him through death. Efforts also have 1 icon made to purchase another leading Derby elig ible from the Blue Grass region, This vf-year-old is Kentucky Cardinal, in the stable of Desha Breckinridge. Mr. Breckinridge declined an offer of $30,000 for this son of North Star 111 Mr. Breckinridge is the kind of sportsman that would delight in win ning the Kentucky Derby for sent! ment alone and it is unlikely that a considerably larger figure would sep arate him from his favorable posi tion in this year’s classic. Kentucky Cardinal proved hie cali ber as a 2-year-old. He won $2l,luo in stakes and purses. In II starts he scored five firsts, one second and two thirds. Both of his third places were behind Master Charlie and Pas Seul, first in the Hopeful Stakes at Sara toga and then In the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs. Among his vletojjee was the Queen City handicap in which he stepped n mile in 1:28 flat. It is understood that flattering of fers also have been made for Captain Hal and I.ee O. Cotner, Which held the limelight among local candidates for the Derby, it is probable that either could be disposed of at a figure between $35,000 and $13,000.

TREMAINE, Cleveland bantamweight, is once more about to endeavor to catch the championship will o the-wisp with his butterfly net. Six years ago Tremaine started his hunt for tli» bantam crown. Jimmy Dunn, once manager of Johnny Kil hano and the man who made him champion, had trained Carl for months for Ills debut. Cleveland pro moters matched him with Pete Her man, then bantam champion. The fight was to be staged at Dunn field. A short time before the date of the fight Tremaine was forced to undergo an operation for appendicitis. Goodby champion hopes. ' When Joe Lynch won the title from Pete. Herman his manager, Ed die Mead, crossed Tremaine off his calling list. Wouldn’t even let him in at his tea dansants, let alone send him an engraved card. Rickard offered Lynch a neat sum to meet Tremaine in the ring if he didn't want to consider Carl his so cial equal. Lynch snubbed Carl again. Pete Herman won hack the ban tam crown then. He was old and go ing blind. He cared little about meet, lng Carl. Then Johnny Ruff won the title from Herman and refused to meet Tremaine. Lynch licked Buff and regained the title and again ducked Tremaine. Abe Goldstein, who fol lowed Lynch and held the title less than a year, too’k an easier foes un til he made a mistake and agreed to meet Eddie Martin. The latter hammered him all over the ring and won the title. Martin has given Tremaine at least half a chance. He Is going to swap punches with the Clevelander Tues day, March 14, at Cleveland's public hall. But Martin is playing safe. His1 title will reprise securely on the mantel at home regardless of the outcome of the bout for the reason that the men will not make the ban tamweight limit. But a victory for Tremaine will force Martin to give hint a title bout. And this is what Tremaine has sought for six years. Walter Taylor, a newcomer In the promoters' ranks in Cleveland, is conducting the show. And Incidentally his feat In landing the bantam king has drawn the ha ha from many of the older pi-omoters who have been monkeying around with second rater*.
