small for Dempsey, ar.d he thinks he
can find enough to keep him busy

from Oklahoma university's basket
ball team Saturday, 23 to 19. The

Blue and White Tossers Bombard

-- 1
REIG1ITON cage
team took the sec
on contest of the
two game series
from Morningside
college quintet at
Creighton gymna
sium Saturday by
the score of 42 to
19. The contest
was exceedingly
fast with the Blue
and White com
plteely outclassing
the Cioux Cityans
from start to finish.
At the halfway
mark the Hilltoppcrs were in the lead
27 to 11, The local five, by handing
the invaders the two defeats proved
themselves to have one of the best
teams in the "Big Nine" conference.
The clever work of the Blue from
the very start dazed the Io^vans and
the basket shooting of the Creighton
captain. Lovely, took the heart out of
the losers. Lovely credited the first
scqre and a minute later G. Rogers
tied the count with a shot from the
side court. Lovely broke the knot in
quick time and B. Rogers repeated
his teammate's stunt by again put
ting things on even terms. Making
his third successive ringer, Lovely
sent the Blue and White in the lead
which was held from then on through
out the contest.
1 he game was Creighton's without
a doubt with Trautman and Lovely
bombarding the hoops with consider
able ease. The latter lioopster was
the outstanding star of the evening,
sinking the leather front all angles
of the court, ns well as dribbling
through the entire Morningside crew
for several of his baskets.
The Morningside cagesters could
not work the ball through the Blue
defense with Creighton being in pos
session of tho ball most of the time.
The work of G- Rogers of the losers
deserves much credit, this hoopster
being responsible for most of bis
mates’ counters. B. Rogers and Bil
liard also did the visitors “dead eye”
work.
During the final period. Coach
Schabinger sent in a substitute role
and the “scrubs" held the Morning
side five for the remainder of the con
test. Paynter and Lone worked tho
sphere through the Iowans* defense
time and again being two of the main
cogs in the smooth running machine
that the Blue had on the floor.

Omaha Church Champs Outclass
Sioux City Title Holders and Win
Opening wide the throttle in the first half and shooting at the baskets
with full steam ahead, the Unitarians, leaders in the class A division
of the Church league, hopelessly distanced the First Presbyterians, church
champions of Sioux City, and won, 47 to 24.
The Iowans rallied in the second half and scored five baskets and
six free throws, but were 'unable to stop the caging orgy of the locals,
who continued their terrific pace started in the first half without letting up.
Unitarians uncorked an attack thatO
swept the basket into Its scoring area
time and again from the tip-off. The
teamwork of the visitors lacked polish
and their shooting was erratic, most
of their goals being attempted over
the long distance route.
The locals presented a well-bal
anced scoring combination. Mellor,
Larson and Fatible making five goals
apiece, while Supernova registered
four.
Larson pulled the spectacular stuff,
once ringing the ironH from midcourt,
and again dribbling the Sioux Cltyans'
whole defense to score.
White was the outstanding star on
the offensive for the Presbyterians,
registering three baskets despite the
close guarding of Haynes.

Last Year's Western League
Champs Need Pitching to Make
Team Again Pennant Contender
Tulsa, Okla., Jan. 21.—(Special Telegram.)—If Tulsa's
champion Oilers can get pitching in the pennant race now
looming on the distant baseball horizon, another Western
league flag may fly at McNulty prk.
For Jck Lelivelt will ead amost the sgme team of wreck
ers into the fray that marched roughshod over the opposition
in 18922. So far as is known at this time the only mem
bers of the 1922 team not coming back this spring, save in
the hurling department, are Herschel Bennett, start left
fielder, and George McGinnis, shortstop. Bennett was sold
to the St. Louis Browns for a fancy figure, while McGinnis,
still the property of the club, will be replaced at short by
Dudley Lee, purchased from St. Louis after starring in the
Southern league for the last two seasons.
Strengthened at Short.
It is not known yet who will fill that dull and aching void created Ini
left by the departure of the fla#hy Bennett. But the management has an
nounced that a gardener of proven ability \vould be purchased.
At shortstop it is believed that the team has been materiallv strength
ened by the shift from the erratic McGinnis to Bee. The new shortficlder
is said to be a brilliant fielder, though not a heavy hitter.
Robert McAllister Wins
Feature Indoor Race
New York, Jan. 21.—Robert Me
'Allister, New Y'ork's “flying cop,” to
night won a sprint medley which fea
tured the indoor games held in the
102d regiment armory by the Ford
ham University Athletic association,'
defeating Eddie Farrell in two of the
three events, by a score of 13 to 11.
McAllister won <he lOCfyard dash,
which he ran in 10 seconds flat, and
the 90-yard dash, in which the time
was 9 2-5 seconds. Farrell won the
75-yard dajii in 8 1-3 seconds.
Loren Murchison of St. Louis and
other midwestern athletes, who had
been expected to appear, failed to ;
show up.
William Ritola, a Finnish runner,
unattached, broke the world's record !
four miles, finishing in 19 minutes |
27 4-5 seconds. Ritola holds the na- |
tional crosscountry and ten-mile
championships. Tonight he defeated
a field of 13 starters, to whom ho
gave handicaps un to 150 yards.
) Unless changes are made later, T* x
Crosby will he back behind the plut^x
where he served in 154 out of the
games last year. Skipper J>elivelt
will be at first, the machine-like Fa.l
dy Bauman at second and Frankie
Thompson at third. Lyman Lamb
will chase 'em In center, and the war
horse of the Western league, old Yank
Davis himself, will make his usual bid
(for the right field job. Luke Stuart,
fence busting utility man, will serve
In the same role as last year.
Pitchers Problem.
Pitching is what worries the Olle*
mentors. With George Boehled gone
to Pittsburgh by sale and Dave Dan
forth recalled by the Browns, the box
staff is pretty well shot, but time re
mains to strengthen it. Karl Black,
Hollis McLaughlin, Paul Sherman and
Uscar Haugland of last year’s team
are still on the roster. Bob Clark, a
big highthander, has been purchased
from Milwaukee, and severv ,oung
sters have been signed.
