It. E. Hann was elected president,
J"',1" Patterson, vice president and
Widiam Abrams, secretary and treas
urer. The name of the organization
is to be the Box Butte County League.
Each team will play every other team
or seven games upiece. An effort will
be made to have every other game at

50 and will continue until some time
in September. Another meeting will
be held in Alliance April 15 for the
purpose of making final arrangements.

on the games, and the results and

the season.
Dayardites Still
Have Possession
i of Champs Trophy
Where is the western Nebraska
championship cup which Alliance was
to have had this year if they won the
championship. Now that Alliance has
the championship, where, oh, where is
the cup. The said receptacle is big
enough to hold a keg of beer and would
not look at all bad adorning tin? local
high school assembly. Bayard, last
year's champion.? are at present in
possession and have shown no great
enthusiasm about parting company
with it. It may be, however, that no
one has taken it upon himself to jar
the memory of the beet-pickers. If
such be the case they can hardly be
expected to send it to Alliance. The
cup wa3 donated to the conference by
a Chappell jeweler, who, however, had
no intention that it should leave that
fair city. The Chappell team, however,
was unkind enough to finish in the cel
lar position in the conference and the
jeweler's plans were sadly upset. If
any team; is abl ' to annex the cup
three consecutive seasons it will be
come their permanent property. Alli
ance has an excellent change of get
ting it for two years at least as three
members of this year's team will re
turn next year, and there will be
plenty of material for the remaining
places.
TODAY'S GOLF STORY.
"What J" said the indignant old gen
tleman, "you want to marry my
daughter? Why, sir, it was only a few
years ago that you were caddying for
me." . . 1
"Yes, sir," the young man replied,
"but I don't intend to let that stand in
the way. I hope I have sense enough ;
to realize that a very bad golfer may
make a fairly good fatherni law."
Local Hoopsters
Win Tournament
At the Normal
Coach Prince's hoopsters have an
nexed another cup, this being the
Chadron Normal Invitation Tourna
ment trophy. This is the second time
in two years that they have taken it.
Three Alliance players, Dailey, Brown
and Joder, received all-star honors,
the former as captain and forward, the
same as last year. Alliance won from
Chadron in the finals, 17 to 11, after
having defeated Gordon and Chadron
Normal high. Alliance drew a bye in
ine ursi rouno. mis cmcned the Class
A honors, class B being taken by Gor
don. Gordon played one man on the
all-star team as guard, while Chadron,
the runner-up placed Chalfont, their
frtar forward. Last year Alliance and
Chadron played in the finals, with the
locals coming out victorious, and also
three of last year's all-star team, Dai
ley, Joder and Chalfont are on this
years honors list. Brown is reported
to have played good ball and to have
deserved his place. Cross, another Al
liance star was handicapped by an in
jury to his foot received some time
ago and was unable to make the best
showing. Captain Fowler plays a very
steady game, which, while good, does
not stand out as some of the other
players. Coach Prince played the sub
stitutes in most of the games and they
made an excellent showing, and fully
demonstrated the fact that there will
be no shortage of material to fill the
gaps left by graduation for next year's
team.

Tenants have already discovered that
"equalization of rents" usually means
equalization upward. . .
The tax on cigarettes will not be
increased. Was this a decision reached
in an effort to please women?
Frank Dailey
Is Selected On
All-State Team
Frank Dailey. tall Alliance forward
has been picked by the State Journal
as third team all-state center. The
lengthy leather toster, played center
only part of the Geneva game at the
state tournament, but so clearly
demonstrated his ability that he re
ceived this position. Dailey was picked
by The Herald as second team all
western forward; not because there
was any doubt of his ability as a
player but because the last games of
the geason he has played a very erra
tic and often 'nfediocre game. When
going good Dailey is almost impossi
ble to guard, and plays the floor in a
way that would do credit to any player.
The Journal says of his that he "plays
the floor like a veteran, and is able
lay tallies off the backboard from any
angle.", Dailey has been selected as
all-star forward and captain at the
Chadron Normal tournament for the
Cast two years, as all western half
ack in 1920, and as all-western half
back and captain in 1921. He was also
selected by the World-Herald this year
as second team all-state halfback. The
Journal's complete selection is;
First Team.

Annual Pentathlon
Will Be Held
From April 14-19
Now that the time for Fpring sports
has come, interest is turning to the an
nual high school pentathlon, which will
be held April 14 to 19. Alliance last
year, entered three men, two, Dailey
and Garvin, making a good showing.
This year both of these men should do
well and if a team is entered Alliance
should have an excellent chance of
plaJIng first in the state. Dailey, Gar
vin and Strong should all do well and
it should not be difficult to find one
more to make up a team with the ma
terial at hand. Any one of these three
can come perilously close to cracking
a state record in some event or possi
bly more than one. The records for
these events may be made at any time
in the given days and must be certified
by responsible individuals.
If a contestant should be taking part
in an inter-high school meet during
this time, his performance in any of
the events may be regularly recorded
for an all-around score.
The winner will receive a gold
medal with the following inscription:
"All-round Nebraska Interscholas
tic Champion, 1922." The winners of
the second to tenth places will receive
bronze medals.
Douglas Myers of Beatrice was the
1921 champion. Beatrice won the
event last year. Winners and records

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
To the business man, retail or wholesale; to the manufacturer; to the commis
sion man; to the trucking company, the Ford Model T One Ton Truck makes
an irresistible appeal because it has in its chassis all the -merits of the original
Ford car; the wonderful Ford Model T Motor, the dependable Vanadium steel
chassis, and the manganese bronze worm-drive. A strongly built truck that
serves satisfactorily and lasts in service If these statements were not true,
the demand for Ford Trucks wouldn't be so constantly on the increase. We
will be pleased to take your order for one or more Ford Trucks, will see that you
get reasonably prompt delivery, and will give you an after service that insures
the constant service of the Truck. But don't wait too long. Qet your ordeff
in promptly.
j Match Proposed
IJetween Dcmpscy
and "St rangier'
There is a pood deal of specu'ntion '
n.s io fM-mnrior iwf.s' chances
in the rinjr uith Jack Dempsev; each
man to follow his own line of defence.
There is not a chance in ten thousand
that such a match would ever come
off, but if it did the wrestling cham
pion would probably be knocked out in
one punch, as it would be a very fool
ish boxer that would allow a wrestler
to rH close enough to really have a
chance. This has been tried a few
times in the past with always the
same result; the wrestler was carried
out of the rinjr feet first after ten
seconds of conflict. F.ven the jrroat
Gotch was put to sleep in a punch and
this was by a medic ere fijrhter.. At
that the present champion, Lewis, is
f-(uj)ipeu, as lew men are, to resist.
Dempsey's mighty punches as he form-1
erly engaged in that form of sport'
known as rough and tumble fighting..
This al'owed practically nnyth'ng and
the conditions would be about the same
in the proposed match. However,
what's the use, as it probably won t
ever come off.
Antioch Telephone
Operator Praised
For Her IJravcry
The Saturday issue of the State
Joumnl contained a photograph of
Mrs. Lillian Hobbs of Ant ocn, to
gether with the following commenda
tory reference to her work during the
fire which destroyed a block in the
business district of that town early in
the morning of March 6:
"Mrs. Lillian Hobbs, chief operator
for the Antioch exchange of the North
western Bell Telephone company, is
the heroine of the town, for early in
the morning of M-rch 6. when sore
after store and building after building
were consumed by flame which were
fanned by a raging blizzard, Mrs.
Hobbs stuck to her switchboard and al
though the flames crackrd the windows
! nt her back and scorched the walls of
the phone office, she bravely rUmmI h
her post of duty and did much to help
in uie name wnicn saved most of th
city.
"The fire raged for four hours, burn
ing the man portion of the business
section of town. Mrs. Hobbs sleeps
in the same building at which the ex
change is located. At 1 o'clock on
the morning of March fi, while th
blizzard howled around the rnmr nt
i the building, she was aroused to rut
through a long distance call. After
i completing the cnll, she noticed the
fire in n store building just across th
'street. She hmriedly started calling;
pnones in me Duiwings adjoining ana
undoubtedly saved lives by warning;
those who miVht have been overcome
by smoke or flames. As Antioch had)
no rity water service for several
months, a bucket brigade was formed
The high wind rendered the efforts
useless and the bucket brigade then
devoted themselves to saving the tele
phone office and other eurroundinfi
buildings.
