THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER J. 1021. Up-to-Bate News and Gossip of Interest to Sport Fans Five Teams Remain in Race For State Title North Platte and Cambridge Loom Up As Strongest High School Grid Teams in State. By RALPH WAGNER. With the race for the state high school foot ball championship com jug down the final stretch, five teams are nuking a hard drive to reach the tape first and thereby capture the honors that belong to the school finishing the season w ithout a defeat. Of the five schools still in the running, not one is located iu Omaha, something which is rather rliusiial. North I'latte, Cambridge, Lincoln, Grand Island and Jekamaii stand out as the strongest contend ers for the state title this season. Of the live mentioned, Tekamah is the smallest and is expected to fall by the wayside before many Friday schedules ny past. - Last week witnessed the elimina tion of Coach Drummond's High Shool of Commerce siuad from the title race. The South Jligh Packers put the elimination stamp on the IJookkccpers in the form ot a 24 to 7 defeat, and upset the dope. Omaha Out of Running. With Commerce out of the run ning, Omaha cannot claim a team capable of making a bid for the championship. Central High elimi nated South earlier -in the season, while Heatrice put the dampers on Coach Schmidt's team. Of the five undefeated state teams North I'latte and Cambridge, the lat ter 1920 champs,- stand out as the two strongest squads. Lincoln is an other school which is represented by a strong aggregation of warriors ., this season. Grand Island eliminated Ord last Friday, 7 to .0, and while the Islanders are considered the class of the western part of the state, they stand little chance with the strong North l1!-' eleven or the Cambridge squad, .-kamah defeated Pender by the score of 35 to 3 last week. Although the Tekamah crew lias cleaned up thus far this season, the dope is not in favor of the north eastern squad this year. t Next Friday Columbus clashes Vith North Platte at North Platte in a game that will attract state-wide attention, due to the fact that the Discoverers trimmed Omaha Cen tral last week and have played much better foot ball within the last three weeks than they did earlier in the season. ' ' . North Platte Has Strong Team. Fans who have witnessed ' the North Platte team in action declare that Coach Neville has developed one of the strongest squads in the state,' The backficld is shifty, fast and capable of holding its own with any high school in Nebraska. North Platte's line is a tower of strength and opens large holes for the backs. Considering the record of the North Platte team this season, Co lumbus is due to taste another de feat next Friday. Commerce and Grand Island tan gle on the latter's field Friday in another contest slated to have an important hearing on the title. With Kline and Camero back in the lineup chances are good for a Commerce victory over Grand Island. However, the Islanders have a classy squad this year. According to the schedule, Lincoln, Tekamah and Cambridge have open dates this week-end. Stanislaus Zbyszko Defeats Caddock In Match for Title Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 8.

Mahoney it scheduled to meet Ever Hammer hert November 13. When Dempsey Isn't Battling In Ring He's Fighting Country's Best Lawyers, Judges and Like By FRANK G. HENKE. AtK. JJt.xMl'St.V IS beginning to couut that day lost whose low descending sun marks no new legal battle against him be gun. Life for the "Utah mauler" through the past few years has been little more than a succession of lawsuits. Jocose per sons assert that he has retained fight ing condition because of the splendid exercise gained in dodging process servers. , Dempsey first gained real acquaint anceship with process servers, law years, judges, juries and the like through the efforts of "John the Barber" Reisler to gather Dempsey unto himself o:ice again..; John undertook to manage Demp sey back m 1916, when the big kid first appeared in Gotham. But Dempsey didn't show an awful lot of greatness then. John decided it wasn't worth hi.' whil(v to frivolf around with him. So he practically cast him adrift. Tempus flitted. Then Jack Kearns grabbed Dempsey and piloted him along to geratness and a champion ship. When Demp sev nroceeded to t$cK empsey arrive "John the Barber" figured he had pulled a "boner." He decided to get Dempsey back. But Dempsey wouldn't do any comeback for him. The razoring person then sued Dempsey for breach of contract. None but a manipulator of an add ing machine knows in just how many different towns Reisler sued Dempsey. But the records show that legal action against the heavy weight was taken in Chicago. St. Lois, Minneapolis, Newark, Toledo, New York and elsewhere. In each place Dempsey emerged triumphant. But everywhere he ran the gauntlet of process servers. Eventually he became champion. Then his ' legal troubles really started. " The government indicted him in San Francisco and it cost Dempsey $90,000 to clear himself. Frank Spellman, a former business associ ate, later filed two suits against him. One had been tried twice, with a jury disagreement as the result. The other is yet to be heard. Indian Names Dempsey. , Somebody in Atlantic City de cided to do some suing. Then an Indian out in Oklahoma sued his wife for divorce and named Demp sey. It -was because he had seen his wife gazing rapturously- at a picture of the champion.

A woman in New York, having been introduced to Dempsey about a year ago, boasted in an idle moment to her husband that "I am a great friend of Jack Dempsey's." She was so great a friend of Demp sey's that if they had met in the street later, the champion probably wouldn't have recognized her. Yet her feminine boast to her husand got the latter so exercised that he came close to suing for divorce and naming Dempsey as an alienator of affections. : J' Kearns and Dempsey rented an apartment in New York. After they gave it up the lady-like owner of the place discovered 'that a 50-cent china ornament had been broken. She decided upon suit and process serves began s doing foot races with Dempsey. Meanwhile another batch of servers were trying to shove papers into Dempsey's hands notifying him that he had been sued by a doctor who had been paid $500 for a slight operation upon Demp sey's nose and who demanded $1,000. , ' . t Shimmy Shaker Sues.

He appraised the affections of Bee at $100,000 and promptly sued Dempsey for that much "He's nothing but a love pirate" asserted the hubby. Haw, haw, ain t that rich me a love pirate," chuckled Dempsey in rebuttal The Question as to .whether or not Dempsey is or isn't a harpooner of the caressing attections ot the girl with the shimmiest shoulders in the worlf will be decided in court soon. .

Today Colgate is the only school that has signed to play Creighton. Invitations have been mailed to near ly every large school in this section of the country, and when time comes for the Creighton officials to 6om plete their schedule several well known university and college quintets no doubt will grace the schedule. Dan Rogers, manager of Rocky Kansas of Buffalo, has announced that he would claim the lightweight championship title and defend it against all comers. The manager of Kansas bases his claim upon decisions over Willie Jackson of New York and Lew , Tendler of Philadelphia and failure of Benny Leonard to defend the title against Tendler. While the foot ball season has two weeks yet to run, 1921 can be right fully termed the greatest year in western foot ball.

The proteges of Coach Daw son surprised the Panther followers and staged the unexpected by trounc ing Coach Warner's prides.
