    Basket Ball Season Ends in Omaha This Week When Nebraska Plays Creighton
fVentral Meets
Lincoln High
in Two Games
South, Tech., Creighton Prep.
( and Benson Close Sea
sons This Week.
The word “finis" will be written
across the 1923 basket ball schedules
of Omaha teams this week.
Seven cage contests are on tap for
local quintets lwfore next week rolls
around, and when these half dozen
floor battles have been fought, the
curtain will be rung down on one of
the most successful of all basket ball
seasons in Omaha.
Following this week, the annual
Nebraska state high school tourna
ment starts at Lincoln. But as far
as basket ball goes in Omaha, local
followers of the great indoor sport
will see the end of the present season
next Saturday night.
Of the six games scheduled for
Omaha this week, the feature contest
and tho one cage fans have been
1 harping about for some time, will- be
dayed Saturday night at Creighton
ynmasium between the University of
ebraska and Creighton university.
When the Htiskers and Blue start
‘\'ir game it will mean the resump
of athletic relations between the
y^ffre universities.
• The largest crowd that has ever
shoved itself into the Blue and White
gymnasium will be on hand for this
big game, judging from the interest
this contest has created.
Tickets for the game go on sale at
it) o’clock this morning at Beaton’s
.drug store. Fifteenth and Farnam
f .-treets, and at tfie Creighton gym
* nasium office. In order to-protect the
public, the athletic director of Creigh
ton has announced that only five
tickets will be sold to each purchaser
and only three to each Creighton stu
dent. This has been done, according
to Pireftor Schabinger. so that no
ticket scalpers will get their initts on
\ blocks of pasteboards.
Creighton, because of its season rec
ord, will go into the game with the
Huekers tho favorite. Nebraska
hasn’t shown anything in the Missouri
valley race.
Coach Schabinger and his Blue and 1
White hoopsters will return from |
Milwaukee this morning, where they
lost a pair of games to Marquette.
Creighton played without the services
of Captain Jimmy Lovely. This star
Blue forward has been kept out of the
lineup for the last three weeks so that
he might be in good condition for the
game with Nebraska. The chances
of Lovely playing against the Busk
ers look good.
The remainder of the Creighton ,
team. Trautman. Haley. Mahoney, 1
Speieher, Paynter and I.ane. are in
good condition and will be used
against the Cornhuskers.
Among the high schools of Omaha,
^^i'jtral has the hardest contests. The
^KV''Idc, fresh from a vic tory over its 1
V d rival. Tech, will resume practice j
■ today for games with Lincoln at Lin
f • oln Tuesday and with Lincoln at
Creighton ‘'gym” Friday evening.
Creighton High goes to Fremont

uled for Fremont tonight, but has

Omaha S|)orts
Defeat Americans
Two games wore played Sunday at
Miller park in the Omaha district soc
cer league. Thu Omaha Sports de
bated the All-American* In the fea
ture game by the score of 3 to 2. The
first half was *corcless. with neither
team holding an advantage. The sec
Qnd half, however, wa* full of thrills,
with both teams playing good soccer.
The Sports collected three goals dur
ing this time, and the Alt Americans
two. The goals wore made by John
ston, B. Henderson and Powell for
the Sports, and A. Henderson and
Baxter for the All-Americans.
A team composed of player* from
the Townsends, Sports and All Amer
ican! won a preliminary game from
a team made up of the Guarantees
and Ceehte players by the score of 2
to J. Vrban, who plays with the
Cecilies, made both the winners’ goals,
while Baxter of the All Americans
booted the losers' lone goal.
Amateur Ball Players
to Tryout With Beatrice
Four amateur hall players. Art
Klauschle of the Naples bank, pitcher;
H. V. Gammers, Creighton; It. B.
Williams, Onawa (la.) htirler. and
Bill Peck, former Nebraska Storage
Battery team, have signed contracts
to try out with the Beatrice team of '
the Nebraska State league.
HLRK are tliree letter men and
two newcomers of the Nebras
ka track squad. Dave Noble
of Omaha, flashy halfback on the
football team and no less flashy on
' the cinders, is still stepping the
dashes. Keith IJoyd, who became
known throughout the state while
still a student at Beatrice high
school, is also a dash man who
shows all kinds of promise. He won
tiie 50-yard event at the K. C. A. C.
indoor meet last week at Kansas
City with Noble crossing a split see
ond later.
Maurice Gardner Is a miler of
ability. He was a member of the
cross-country team last fall. Ted
Smith continues to step the 440 in
old-time form. Lewis Trexler looks
like a comer in this event and also
the 880. He stepped the quarter in
55 flat the oilier evening in an inter
fralemity meet.
Coffroth $30,000 Handicap Next
Big Event for Western Turf
The next big event of the western ’
turf is little more than a month off,
being scheduled for March 25, fit the
Tiajuana (Mexico) race track.
This big event is the Coffrotli handi
cap, valued at $30,000. Reports from
Tiajuana inform us that tn the
neighborhood of a score of horses will
go to the post on that gala occasion.
So large a field Is anticipated that
the TiajUHna Jackey club manage
ment proposes to build a chute at the
head of the stretch to facilitate the
start,
Scanning down through the list of
possibilities, it is found that two and
perhaps three, starters from the
stable of Com. J. K. L. Rns.s will prob
ably go into action. Rebuke, at thin
writing, appears a certainty. Fey
lance has also displayed such < lass
that it Is believed he -will lie found
performing, while the fast mare, Muf
tikins, has been saved especially with
the idea, of sending her out for t lie
big purse. Trainer McDaniel Is also
very strong for the 4 year-old Span
ish Matze and has cone along easy
with htm, trusting that he Will help
Rebuke when tho proper lime arrives.
The Meadowbrook stock farm will
doubtless send both Prince Tii Tii and
Bon Homme, their late acquisitions.
These horses are now in training and
will shortly make their Tijuana de
hut. Bon Homme is rated os one of
the top handicap horses in training,
while Prince Tii Tii has been viewed
by experts as a colt of great possi
bilities.
Knighthood and Fairway loom up
ns the Boat wick entri-s, and should
S-pot Cash train well he. too. may be
rent postward with them.
Johnny Crane will doubtless have a
representative In the race In Krcwer
and possibly Super Cargo. Krewer
In the past has gone on, and this win
ter has staged a "come back" which
definitely puts him in the running.
Blliv Neesr-Ihaus, the Omaha turf
man. lias Instructed Trainer Bussey
to have Adonis on edge for the Cof
froth, and the latter has been eased
up accordingly for a few weeks lest
he stale off before the bi(j race.
Oilman has traveled the route with
success and seems to size up as a
Coffroth contender, while Georgle,
the Baker star, is destined to carry
a lot of backing w lien he goes into
the struggle. John Paul Jones, the
Maryland route-goer, and Carabosse.
the Canadian mare, are two others
whose eyes are glued on the rich
pu rae.
Then there is the Bronx stable en
try of Eo I-'rank and Bunnyland. sure
starters, liar ring accident: Mclarhrlno,
the apple of Lonnie Tryon's eye, and
in all likelihood Main, from the seme
stable: Planet, the Shafer and Con
way Trick, and Irwin's T»n Buttons.
Clarence Buxton, who wen the first
Coffroth handicap with Sasln, and had
another tucked away only to have
War Mask go wrong in training, has i
hopes Sundial II. may show sufficient;
class in the near future to warrant '
training for the classic.
There may be others, too, but prun
ing down the above list seems out of
the question at the present time.

Morrie Schlajfer has been rematched
with Johnny Karr at Davenport. The
fight will take place March 9.
The Omaha welter was scheduled
to fight Karr last Friday night, but
injured his hand in training last

Greqt Size and Weight Handicap
to Ring Fighters—Willard’s One
By FRANK G. MENKE.
Great size and great weight is merely a ring handicap
—not the tremendous asset which is commonly supposed.
Any man who notches beyond six feet and one inch in
height and who bulks over 200 or 205 pounds at the most,
is up against it at the outset of his career. And it is certain
that sooner or later he will suffer terrific beatings.
For the huge man has a body that is an almost unmiss
able target; his great weight makes him slow and awkward.
And, worse than that, he must hit downward when fighting
smaller men.
It is impossible to get real force into downward drives, Whereas^ in the
lifting wallop which the little man throws at the lig fellow, It is simple for
him to get the whole weight of his body back of it.
Jess Willard, Carl Morris, Ed Dunkhursi. Herman Plaa<ke—those are
some of the wimples of the big men of the prize ring And not one of them
escaped a terrific beating, or a lot of boatings, at one time or another dur
ing their careers.
Damon Runyon writes that
"Babe” Ruth spent a "dizzy day"
training at Hot Springs. This,
when the big boy was supposed to
be on the water wagon,
Judging from what appeared in
the various newspapers throughout
I lie west, "Kid” Schlaifer got more
publicity when he was forced to
i all off Iris bout with Johnny Karr
than he receives when he fights.
Joe Boley, Baltimore shortstop,
has his hands insifred for 100.000
berries. No wonder. He mines coal
with them during the winter.
fiermany, barred from the Davis
cup matches, probably will have
difficulty In finding time to worry
about it.
Eastern sport scribe writes that
' Firpo trained on board steamer."
What Is probably meant is that Fir
po trained on steamer board.

A return bout between Rocky
Kansas and Charlie White would be
worth seeing now that Kansas has
claimed White's 12.500 foi<-.t be
cause the latter was 12 ounces over
weight.

New York. Feb. 25.—Ralph fi.
Mills. Princeton, tonight broke the
world's record for the indoor shot
put at the annual track and Held
meet of the New York Athletic club,
throwing the ball IS feef. 9 inches.
The former record was made by
Pat McDonald of Olympic fame at
17 feet, 6 1.2 inches.

Paris. Feb 2." —M. Derhier won the
French 11.2 balk line professional hi!
hard championship, taking four out
f live mat lies of r.og points each.
The highest run was 213 and his aver
age. 25 13. The contest carried with
it a prize of 10 000 francs
Dunkhorst weighed something like
I.1D0 pounds. Ho was tossed into the
same ring with Bob Fitzsimmons and
the freckled warrior looked like a
dwarf. But Bob, after forcing Dunk
horst to run himself out of breath,
whirled suddenly, drove his fist about
eight inches deep into the stomach
of the "Human Freight Car"—ar '
the fight was over.
Kid McCoy nearly annihilated
Plaacke, although McCoy yielded t<
Plaacke nearly a foot In heiglit and
close to 112 pounds in bulk.
The diminutive Jim Flynn, wh
'cemed only half the size of Cari
Morris, gave Morris the most torrif
beating airy fighter ever endured b
a New York prize ring. Morris
couldn't reach Flynn with his down
ward punches. But all the whil
Flynn was lifting his punches ami
smashing the f»ce of Morris into the
goriest pulp conceivable.
Then th're was the Dempsey WH
lard affair in Toledo. Deihpeey sim
ply ducked under Willard's long,
huge arms, drove a right hander to
Willard's heart and then began to
swing punches upward to Willard's
face and jaw. In three rounds of
hurricane fighting. Dempsey trans
formed the king of his division Into
the most pitiful ex-champion that ever
was mauled out of a ring.
Ail of these incidents merely prove
that great bulk and great size. jr
Stead of being something vita! in fa
vor of a fighter, is just exactly the
eppos -e. For it always has happened
that when a good man around six fee
in height and weighing between
and 205 pounds, has taken on one of
the giants of the prize ring, the bn.
man has come out of it beaten and
haltered and humiliated beyond moi
ure.
