motto probably will
be adopted by the

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.

Winner of Tiajuana Classic
Nominee for Kentucky Derby
By GEORGE SCHILLING.
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

While the leader of the world s

Ids teams, thereby holding them up to
the class needed to give strong battle
for pennants, he also looks further
ahead than any other manager In hi*

will be in the fight for the champion

IF “K.d Schlaifer can turn the
tables on Johnny Karr at the
Auditorium March fib when
they meet in a 10 round bout, the
Omaha welter will be in line for a

harr is a (kteiimi boy and a
tough one at that. Jimmy Ilium*

It'll ire ' lights out" for Kloyti John

care to take the word of Jim Bavag
: for h,
bavage pick* Willard to win "witl.

And the surprising thing about th*
statement is the fact that once upoi
a time, Savage, although once a apai •
ung partner for Willard, never at any
time thought Willard imn h of a figh •
ei, and at tile present moment, ho
thinks h< * infinitely v ref than ha
ever was at any lime during hia fis

"Johnson won hi* firht* with the
