_ Nebraska Basket Ball Candidates Who Are Flippin’ the 01’ Leather With Plenty of “Pep” This Season
Kilbane Will
Return to Ring
to Box Criqui
Johnny Kilbane is going to don his
spangles and conie back into the ring
for at least one more flight. There aro
a lot of fight fans who won't believe
it until they aee the featherweight
champion crawl through the ropes,
but we have it on good authority that
a match with Eugene Criqui, the
European champion, has been closed
and that the bout will be held in New
York early next summer, probably in
May. It looks as if the Polo grounds
will be the scene of the battle.
Kilbane has been satisfied as to the
money end. It is understood that he
held out for $100,000. but finally con
sented to accept $75,000. Criqui's share
is said to be in the neighborhood of
$50,000. The bout will be 15 rounds
to a decision and Kllbnno will stake
his world’s title against Criqui's
European honors.
Johnny has done little fighting since
he was knocked out by Lenny Leon
ard in a no-decision affair In Philadel
phia five years ago. Kilbane won the
title from Abe Atell In 1021, nnd in
the early days of his championship
career was a great boxer and did not
hesitate to meet all comers. However,
as the years wore on he becamee more
and more disinclined to train, engaged
In a number of nodecislon bouts nnd
finally quit boxing entirely, refusing,
however, to pass on the title. As a re
sult the feutherweight class has stag
nated and few good men have devel
oped The majority of fans will hope
Criqui emerges victor, even though
it means the loss of a title to Ameri
ca, as a new champion ts expected to
givo new life to the division.
Mari iii Childs Will

Marlin Childs, Omaha trainer of
harness horses, left last ngilit for Chi

Frank Isbell, Owner of Witches, Pulling a “Connie” Mack
~ ' ~ “ 1 ■ ■ ■ ■ rV. ^■ _
‘Old Bald Eagle” Wrecking One
of Strongest Teams in League
r
HANK ISBELL is
, pulling a Connie
Mack. Just ns
Connie Mack
wrecked that won
der team of Ath
letics seven years
ago when he saw
that it had shot
its bolt, so, piece
by piece, "O1 d
Bald Eagle" is dis
posing of that
powerful Wlchfta
machine which
smashed it* way
through to a
Western league pennant In 1921.
Last year he disposed of Fr$d Beck,
breaking up one of the greatest in
fields the Western league ever has
seen. That was the starter.
A few days ago came word that
Carl East had been sold to Mlnnea
! polis.
Now comes word that three other
stars have been disposed of.
I "Mule" Washburn is to go to Read
; ing* of the International league for a
consideration said to be $5,000.
Berger Goes to w ichita Falls.
Joe Berger, manager unil late last
season, goes to Wichita Falls for a
similar sum. Pat Haley, catcher, goes
to Nashville In the Southern league.
This takes three of the four which
composed the famous infield. The
outfield slugger who has been the de
mon of the league for the last three
seasons, and one of the best catchers
in the circuit.
Beck has led the league In home
runs with 35 and had batted .326 the
season he was sold.
Hast year East was the leading
slugger of the circuit with a percent
age of .391 for 168 games and he had
amassed the magniflclent total of 270
hits including 61 doubles, six triples
and 30 home runs.
Berger, considered the most valu
able shortstop In the circuit, had a
great batting season las* year, finish
ing with a percentage of .361.
Washburn, one of the most danger
ous hitters In the circuit, also smashed
the ball hard, as a season's mark of
.337 would indicate.
News of the complete breaking up
of the Wichita club no doubt will
come as a shock to the circuit, but
carefully analysed it is necessary and
j a smart move on the part of the "Old
Fox.”
j It would have been rank Injustice
to have held East when he had per
j formed so faithfully and had a chance
! to go up. only part of his purchase
price is to be paid In cash. Min
neapolis sending Pitcher Ed Hovllk
to the Wichita as part payment.
When Howard Gregory supplanted.
Joe Berger as manager. It was con
sidered certain that the veteran who
had piloted the team so well in the
past would move on to some other
club* before another season. There
fore his departure for Wichita Falls
is not altogether unexpected.
Washburn comes much in the
same category as East. He has been
with Wichita a long time, working
faithfully and starring each year.
It is considered tho inalienable
right of a minor league baseball play
er to advance and his opportunity
might not be so good another year
as it is right now.
There is considerable satisfaction
in Wichita, however, from knowledge
that Isbell never has permitted this
city to be without a ranking team
and the fans here believe he ^vill
jbuild’them up another good team from
j new and younger material.

Nebraska Ranks Third Among
39 Teams in Defensive Play
Sometimes comparative figures uro
helpful in computing strength of ath
letic rivals. Very often they are use
less. But tables showing the com
parative strength defensively and of
fensively of 33 leading university
elevens in the country comes as a sort
of relief from the broadside of all
American, all-star and all-sectional
teams with which tho market has
been more or less glutted since the
football season closed.
Offensively, Nebraska ranks third
and defensively ip tied with Iowa for
13th plnce. The Buskers scored a to
tal of 276 points during the season,
which gives them an average of 35.7
points per game. Twenty-eight points
were scored against Nebraska for an
average of 3.5 per game.
The Bears of California lead the of
fensive teams with a point average of
44.2 while Michigan heads the defen
sive list with 1.6.

Wanted! Wanted!
More Poor, Shabby, Threadbare Men
250 More Big Brothers to Help 250
A hundred noble men and young men already answered my
call. Now I want 250 more big brothers to come to the rescue
of these needy men and at the same time get themselves the
benefit of my wonderful tailoring offer.
Now men, and. young fellows, maybe that old suit or over
coat you have doesn’t mean anything to you, but it will, mean
much to the poor destitute fellow who is unable to buy a suit or
overcoat for Christmas. Now let us all play Santa Claus and
help keep the unfortunate warm.
Here is what I will do if you help. For every old suit or
overcoat brought to this store Monday and all this week, I will
allow you $7.50 on the price of a new suit or overcoat, made
to your individual measure, of your choice of material, style, fit
and workmanship, and, if you will order Monday, I’ll guarantee
to have it for Xmas.
.
ACT NOW
Now, brothers, don’t overlook this opportunity to
help. And take advantage of this great tailoring
offer. You can have a suit or overcoat made to your
individual measure of the finest assortment of woolens
at practically half of what you would pay to other
high-priced tailors or ready-made stores. And act as
a Santa Claus to some poor, threadbare, shabby man.
