The gam? waa fast from tha start. The
undergrade taking a fast lead and keep
ing It throughout the period of play,
showed their superiority at basket shoot
ing and team work. Kearna and
Kanmnskl were aided by their great alti
tude, but this vas enslly overcome by the
Bollevueites training In keeping tha ball
near tha floor, below tha reach of the
lengthy opponents.
Bud Kearna. an old veteran grad of
Bellerue and all-star man featured when,
by a' small leap ha would pick the' hall
from close to the ceiling drop It over his
shoulder and through tha ring.
The accurate basket twirling of Allen
and Maxwell gained many points for the
varsity team.
Rarely gastalas lajaey.
In tha second period ot play the gamo
was gomewhat rough, although the
majority of points were made in tba first
round. Walter Racely, a varsity player,
received a slight bruise under the left

kind this season. Throughout the game,
only clean sportmanahlp waa exhibited
three fouls only, being called. -

sociation has definitely decided to
look into the feasibility ot establish

institutions are said to be working

details ot the working ht these institu
tions to some extent, as well aa to lay
bare rom of the evils of the present
loan shark activities In Omaha.
The legislative committee of the asso
ciation was then ordeied to gather soma,
data and make a report on the feasibility
of establishing a remedial loan associa
tion , In Omaha. Such an association af
fords a means for tho por working loan
to get out of the clutches of the loan
shark. In these association a poor man,
may on the recommendation ot hla em
ployer or a reputable fellow worker, ne
gotiate a loan at the remedial loan asso
ciation, at a very low rate- ot interest,
sometimes ss low as 1 per cent. .
It was also recommended to the manu
facturers that In their various plants
they refuse to recognize wage assign
ments until they have ' satisfied them
selves that the assignments do not run
to a disreputable loan shark who Is tak
ing this means to collect a usurious rart
of interest from some employ that has
fallen Into his clutches. ,
