< On r\X cLia Prospects Good for 1924 Cage FiveatU. ofN. Six of Seven 1923 Players Will Retnrn to Fold Next Season—Usher Captain. Jarch 19.—(Special.)— "We're- going up,” or some similar motto probably will be adopted by the University of Ne braska has ketball squad when' it places a team of atresiers in me field for the 1924 race for the Mis souri valley cham l) i o n 8 h i p. The Iluskers 1 a n d ed well down the list of valley teams during the 1923 bat tles, chalking up but five wins out of sixteen starts. Six of the secen men who were awarded letters for work with the 1923 cage aggregation will again perform for j the Cornhuskers during the 1924 sea son. They are Captain-Eelect ‘'Billie" Usher. Klepser, Tipton. Riddlesbarger, Cozier and Volz. Five of these six saw their first season as Husker basketeers this year. Captain Warren i» the only man who is lost to the 1924 team. Captain-Elect Usher diminutive for ward, is probably the shortest man who ever carried off an “X." Ho per forms best when in the company of Klepser. another midget basket tosser. Klepser is a faster floor man than Usher but he does not register as many baskets as does the new cap tain. who landed tenth among the point makers of the valley during the season just closed. Cozier Is the third forward who will report for the 1924 team. Tipton. Volz and Rid dlesbarger, other letter men of this year, are guards. Tipton also per forms creditably at the center posi tion. He is regarded by Husker fol lowers as tho coming outstanding guard of the valley. Wyant, guard on this year’s squad, will also report next year. The center position Is one which will have to be filled by new shoes, t'aptajn Warren, high point man on the Husker squad, filled the position in great shape and the coach for the( next year squad will have to work hard for a man to replace him. C,odd son was the outstanding candidate for thHt position among the 1923 tossers. The coach for the 1924 team has net yet been named. Owen Frank, this year’s coach, is expected to de \ ote his full time to coaching candi dates for the football squad and a —( new basket ball mentor will probably be on tho job with the start of cage practice next year.

San Diego. Cal., March 11).—“Beat Blanc Selng In the Kentucky Derby and take the money,” said William Daniels of Chicago, ns he witnessed his Blanc Selng triumph in the Tia Juana Derby yesterday by half a length over Harry Payne Whltney'H Spot Cash. Before a crowd which filled the Hpadous Mexican course and then overflowed, these two colts fought It out tooth and najl almost throughout the mile and an eighth Journey. The start was a splendid ope with Knight hood first to show In front. He showed the way hy a small margin to the half mile pole with Blanc Being and Spot Cash closest in attendance. It was at this point that the Daniel youngster forged to the front with Spot Cash right at his throat Ian h. Then the battle began. Head and head these two raced lit d when they entered the home stretch they wire on even terms. It was then that Jockey F. Fator called on Spot Cash for the supreme effort, while Jockey Merlmee on Blanc Selng sat down ; to ride as if bin life depended on the result. Thunderous wag the vociferous en couragement tliat burst from throats of the spectators. ".Spot Cash wins," they shouted. A sixteenth out it appeared as If vic tory was his. However, Blanc t?eing never faltered under the stinging lash i of the wh p. and, sticking to his guns like the great colt he is, he gradual ly drew a way In the last 20 yards to win by a half length. Spot Cash found no contention f< r the place a,r,J ho easily took these honors from I’rince i Tiltii, who. In turn, was third by a wide margin over Knighthood. Blatif tiling drew down $fi,32.'. f.,r his victory. He is a .6 year-old chest nut colt by North Star 111, and Bed of I loses, and has l.een nominated for the 350,000 Kentueky Derby. Abadane clinched his title of . am plon all aged horse of the west when he picked up 3 30 pounds and ran a mile and a quarter to win by a length from John Paul Jones and Sunnyland, In winning, ho scored his ninth straight victory and ran the distance in 2:05 1-5, which equals the track 1 record held by Breeze. Davies Tells How to Loosen Up in Spring to Retain Form Itv ST AM .K V DAVIKS (iiolf I n««t rurtor Firlil < lnl».) T THE beginning of the season it is quite natural for a golfer to be a little stiff from lack of practice. I suggest that before going around for the first time that you take a box of practice balls, go to aome quiet spot, and go through a loosening up process. First practice footwork. Swing your club, but let your rnind concentrate on the feet. for five minutes. Then assume a slightly crouched position with the knees bent. This will give the proper relaxation. On the back swing, raise the left heel so that the weight rests on the hall of the feet ami not on the toes. The left ankle should turn toward on the backward swing, thus the knees will regain their position and the player will be leu apt to straighten up. It Is Incorrect footwork that pro duces two of the greatest faults in golf—loss of balance/mil straighten ing up. After you have gone through the footwork for five minute*, turn your attention to the shoulder*. Their action must be free, for a vtry com mon fault is trying to do x> much with the wrists alone. Take your position without a ball, place tbs left «rm and club at right angle* to the shoulders and brtng the shoulders, left arm and dub to the top of the swing, thus the left arm and the shoulders are at a Telatlve position when you address the ball. Now swing bark to the ball and through, the position of the shoulders and left arm remaining unchanged. This form of practice will eliminate breaking of the wrist*. In my opinion It !* not how far you can swing back with the wrists, but bow w< II you can keep your left arm and club at rigid angle* with the shoul ders while swinging both together. When your footwork t* correct and your stroke 1* a -wing and not a chop, tdl your attention can be turned to tbo actual hitting of the ball and timing of the stroke Expect Large Entry List in Mitt Meet The entry list for NeBiaska's fu <• annual Midwestern Amateur Athletic union boxing tournament, which wiU lie held at the Omaha Athletic club March 37 and 2*. la attracting cun "->■ from all sections of the alate Bight Nebraika City lioxeis have entered the tourney.
