a marvelous game In every detail. Four
minutes after the opening of Ihe second
half. South Omaha had secured 5 points.
Shields, the captain and center for South
Omaha, proved an adept at throwing
baskets and guarded the Omaha team from
scoring until the end of the second half,
. , j ,-..-
) Junius, riBiiL tuiwaiu 11.11 auuiii uiaiia,
also played an excellent game, throwing
11.:.
I twelve goals throughout the name,
Omaha played a good game, however,
and fought hard Sintll the end of the game
to regain the lead which they secured at
the start. Bauman succeeded In securing
seven goals In tha first half and five In

Almost as Interesting as the regular
game between the two schools was the
alumni game. These two schools have fast
alumni teams and all of the crack playei.s
were on hand. The Smith Omaha five had
a Utile the advantage over the local play
ers, as they have played togHthct' tills
season, while the Omaha aggregation had
no team practice.
The two Cohns proved the star placers,
for South Omaha, breaking up plays ami

MANOGOFF DOWNED BY GOTCH
Iowa Wrestler Easily Takes Two
Falls from Armenian.
DELIVERS TALK ON THE GAME
Willing to Meet Hackenschmldt and
Mahmoat. but They Most Comply
First with Home Condi
tions. Frank Ootch. wrestling champion, ap
peared In Omaha before a crowd of wildly
enthusiastic fans, who packed the Gayety
theater Saturday night. Gotc.hs wrestling
stunt consisted of putting All Baba Mano
goff. the Armenian, down In two straight
falls, body holds, the first coming In nine
teen minutes and forty seconds and the
second In five minutes.
One of the Interesting parts of the pro
gram put on by Gotch was a short talk
In which he restated to his Omaha friends
his position In the wrestling world.
"I believe In fair wrestling and in treat
ing the public fairly," he said. "In regard
to wrestling championship matches 1 am
going to wrestle but one more. Now T don't
care one bit more for one foreign wrestler
than another, but I believe In fair play.
"Hackenschmldt' and Mahmout are con
sidered the two bent In the wrestling world
today and before either of them can wrestle
me for the championship, he must throw
the other, for otherwise there would be no
satisfactory way of settling the champion
ship. When auolb a, match Is held I will
post 110,000 and take on the winner."
Haa a Bad Cold.
Gotch was looking bigger than he ever ap
peared before, and. In fdct. bigger than he
would In the best wrestling trim. He de
clared that in spite of all the wrestling he
was doing he did not lose much flesh and
that If he wrestled any big matches he
would probably have to train off ten pounds
or perhaps a little more. While on his stay
in Omaha, Gotch was afflicted with a very
severe cold, which kept him coughing be
tween the first and second bout.
The ma,tc with Manogoff was really an
exhibition of what Gotch was and was
In no way a wrestling match. Ootch joked
the Armenian continually and let him tip
several times when he could have put him
over by merely exerting himself to put
his weight upon him. The old time skill
of the champion was plainly evident as he
handled the big foreigner with ease.
Manogoff, although far outclassed, proved
that he would be a tartar to a smaller man
than Ootch. He actually slipped out of one
or two holds and worked like a Trojan
to protect himself. One of the most amus
ing things of the evening waa the sight
of Manogoff trying to lift the low an from
the mat
Mra. tiotrh Looks 4Jn.
Mrs. Gotch was In the audience and
seemed to take a llevly Interest In the work
of her husband. She declared afterward
that she always enjoyed the matches and
laughingly said the was quite a "fan."
The preliminary matches were fast and
showed good wrestling knowledge among
the Omaha amateurs. In the first Jack
Meyers threw Walter Thompson In two
straight, the time being twelve minutes
and fifteen seconds for the first fall and
eleven minutes for the second. Thompson,
who was much the smaller man. received
the cheers of the crowd for the clever
manner in which he broke many of the
holds of the larger man.
In the second match Anton Ruby, who
was to have thrown Paul Huge inside of
twenty minutes, not only failed to throw
his man. but was on the defensive the
greater part of the time himself. Hoge
seemed to be the eel that wiggled, allpplng
out of every hold.
Farmer Burns will be seen In Omaha
again this week. He will appear at the
Gayety theater next Saturday In a wrest
ling stunt with Oscnr Wassem.
Farmer Is appearing here Just three days
after his fiftieth birthday, February 15.
He has often wrestled In Omaha and his
local friends will probably flock down to
ee their favorite.

any new record In Indoor athletic annals.
It developed keen and Interesting competi

handicaps allewed weaker opponents and
got no place in the summaries.
Only one record was equalled that of
the track In the forty-five yards high
hurdles which G. A. Chlsholm of Yale ac
complished In six seconds. Tho failure of
the New York athletic team to compete
owing to a technicality Inentrance rules,
probably deprived the Boston Athletic as
sociation relay team of the race record,
as they came within one-tyfth of a second
of the world's record In an exhibition, their
time being 8 minutes 8S seconds. In the
final event of the evening Harvard's relay

Crosses Swords with Carnegie and
Denies that Wives of Millionaires
Are the Idle Rich.
CHICAGO. Feb. ll.-(8peclal Telegram.!
Mrs. Andrew P. Coon, president of the
Chicago Culture club, took the lead today
In defense of the wives of Chicago million
aires against stricture uttered by Andrew
Carnegie, on "Idle Wives of Millenaries."
to a body of young working women In New
York-.
Mesdame Erskln M. Phelps. Raymond
Robinson, Carmen T. Shaw-Stone and sev
eral other prominent women came to the
rescue of the class that Mr. Carnegie de
clared to be blamable for the reproach that
lies In the title of "Idle rich."
Mr. Carnegie said: "Most millionaires
wive are unhappy. They have too many
luxuries and too few mental resources.
Some of my partners have been unjustly
criticised for faults that were not theirs,
hut their wives."
Discussing the broad, general statement
attributed to the Ironmaster, Mrs. Coon
said:
"It strikes me as unfortunate that a man
of Mr. Carnegie's positive genius In certain
directions should express such opinions.
The wives of Chicago's rich men, with so
few exceptions that thee may be con
sidered negligible, are deeply Interested In
ever thing that goes to enhance the wel
fare of society. I think I may be permitted
to speak In specific term.
"For Instance. Mrs. Harold F. Mn'ormii k
is approachable at any time by any of the
Chicago women who are workers In either
organized or unorganized charity. More
than that. Mrs. McCormlck is actively In
terested, having. I should think, as heavy
a list of strictly useful activities as any
woman.
"Mrs. Laverne W. No es Is another
woman whose activity in work fur the ad
vancement of humanity may be pnlnled to.
and Mrs. Potier Palmer, no matter in what
part ,jf the world Khe may find herself, h
Invariably the center nf a band of v onirn
devoted to aiding those less fortunate than
fhey are themselves.
"I think the remarks of Mr. Carnegie
canm.i be applld lo Chicago women of
wealth. They are for the most part an
intellectually busy lot "
