The (oral quintet ti outclassed In all way by the atar tossers from Wisconsin, the military team panln, guarding ami get ting their baskets In better atyle. Starting; In the first half with a rush, the Portage five had thirteen points cred ited before Omaha got lt first basket. From then on to the end of the half the vlxltors crowded In ten more polnta. mak ing total of 23 to Omaha'a 5. In the sec ond half Omaha took decided brace and It aeemed for a while that they might gain back a part of the lead, but the half ended with Tortaga 14 points and Omaha 13, making the total game 37 to 18. The visiting aciuad played a wonderful game from atari to finish. Their plays went like a flash of light down the floor, often doubling back and sending the ball clear down underneath the Omaha goal be fore It was passed to one of the Portage forwards and dropped for a goal. Every one of the tram was a rrark shot at the basket at remarkably long distances and good half of their baNkcts were made near the center of the floor. V" Wot Ip to Standard. Although Omaha fought each point stub bornly and managed to get a fair number of goal scored, the playing of the "Y" team Thursday night was poor to what Is generally aeen on Ita floor.

In passing the ball In the first half It was fumbled several limes at critical polnta of the play and the score oat. Ritchie was the scintillating star of the Omaha five. From one end of the floor to the other ha was the star of the game, breaking up the Portage and bringing the ball back Into Omaha's territory. YVesld and Colin also played a fine game backed up well by Cuptuln Wilson, who had his hands full keeping track of Kberts, the big center of the visitors. Hehnoider and Hieppard, the two Port age guards, worked together like clockwork and were the cause of Omaha losing l.iany points. Tha plays of the Portage five would all center from the two guards, starting the ball there and working It down ilia floor far enough for one of the visitors to take a long shot at the basket. Kberta, tha center of Portage, covered the floor In a style that showed him to be an able captain. The ball passing from Sheppard or Schneider would come to Ehcrts and like a flash was In the hands of the two forwards and was in tha basket. Visitors rt Beefy.

Two Washington Girls Smitten by Pictures Lassies in Far-Off Town Write to Omaha Postmaster About Cowboys. Down In Washington there are two little girls who are pining for the comradeship of a couple of husky, anortlng cowpunch ers. In which, the effete east believes, the western plains abound. From the tenor of the letter It Is gleaned that the girls recently fell In love with the cowboy characters In a moving picture depicting a western melodrama. It was found necessary to state that these westein photoplays are staged down east by actors who have probably never sniffed the at mosphere of the west, nor seen an Indian, or ever shot anything In their lives except blanks with property-room guns. That tha cowpuncher of the drama Is a character created only In tha mind of the imagina tive playwright or scenario builder, is whaf the girls will learn. The writer of the letter to the postmaster Is Miss Mildred Ramsey, and while speak ing for herself, she la also thoughful enough to fix it up for her chum. Miss Gertrude Kllng. Here is what Miss Mil dred says In her letter dated at Washing ton. D. C. : "From a moving picture that I aaw her recently and supposed to be taken in Omaha, I am confident that you must be acquainted with lots of tha dandiest look ing cowboys in the world. If you are not I would Ilka to be, ao I ask you, confi dentially, if you know of any that would care to correspond with an eastern girl. I would be delighted. I hope you will pardon the privilege I have assumed in writing to you, but considering the circumstances, who else? I also Include a friend, Miss Gertrude Kllng, who I know would be Just as delighted aa I to hear from thla note. Now I sincerely hope that after you have read this that you will not say 'girls, fool ish girls," for really if what I saw on can vas waa true, you wouldn't blame us at all."
