After Entering

Big Bill Brennan entered the Audi
torium ring last night clad In a shab
by pair of trousers, an equally shab

growth of whiskers and a foolish
imlle. Ten minutes later he poured
his bulk over the canvas while
Referee Shea held up Billy Miske’s
land to denote his victory.
Miske had looked at Brennan, then
to had slapped him a few times and
Finished off the slapping with a re
sounding whack to the big one’s jaw.
Brennan evidently had thought that
his would be a golden opportunity tb

3ast and gather in a few stray
sheckles from the west. The family

Husker Game on
November 24 Hard
The principal topic of conversation
among the sporting centers of Syra
cuse is the relative merits—as far as
championship rating—of Syracuse,
Yale and Cornell. No matter what!
the Individual preference may be—
Syracuse's record of not having had
Its goal line crossed and of allowing
their opponents only 10 first downs
In the six games played—Is far ahead
of the other two, defensively at least.
There are those who also contend
that Coach Meehan’s eleven has
played by far the toughest schedule
of the three under consideration.'
Aside from the team’s record. Inter
est also centers in the Individual per
formance of the Orange stars. Syra
cuse certainly has a classy baekfield
—each man a finished player in his
specialty of baekfield play. John Mc
Bride—the big fullback—excels in
place kicking and defensive work and
Is probably the finest line plunger of
the year. Chet Bowman—the out
standing open field runner of the
season—Is being hard pressed for
honors by Jim Foley—who was forced
into the Pitt and Penn State games
owing to Bowman's Injuries. Glff
Zimmerman—the only senior behind
the line—again ranks with the best
as a punter and In addition Is a good
runner, and a whale at Interference.
Koy Simmons completes the first
string backs and is one of the leading
field generals of 1923.
Captain MacRae at end and Lynn
Waldrof at tackle are believed to be
all set for all-American honors. These
two players gave great exhibition of
how their respective positions should
be played In both the Pitt ahd Penn
State games.
Work this week Is not heavy—for
Coach Meehan is taking no chances
on his team going stale for the three

Chest.
Mlske knocked out Brennan In the
fourth round of a mighty tame affair.
Brennan entered the ring hog fat,
untrained and hts movements while
within the hempen strands were
funny.
He didn’t land a solid blow. Mlske
didn't do much better, although the
St. Paul fighter used short Jabs to
knock ol’ Bill to the canvas In the
third round. The bell saved Bren
nan In this frame. In the fourth
a short right to the jaw floored Bren
nan for the count. The New Yorker

that Simmons la all that hia manager
aaye he la.

echoed throughout the Auditorium
after this bout.
The total gat# receipts for last
night's show amount to mor# than
$8,300.

Omaha Is concerned I<eo P. can keep hls meal tickets In (iotham.
It seems to be a fad among New York and other eastern promoters
to send lesser lights of their stables to Omaha to fight.
Omaha promoters carry a reputation of paying extra good purses This
city Is known from coast to const as about the best fight town In the In
teriot-. Kasy money await* fighters and their managers In Omaha.
Of all the Flynn fighter* Dave Shade and .Isok Renault are the heat we
have seen In Omaha. Shade haa put up some funny fighta her* and Renault

"Why Is It that the promoter* let Flynn pull off hls trfeks on the public?
The less Omaha fight fan* see of I<eo P. Flynn’s fighters the better
off they’ll be.

After a week of hard, strenuous
practice, Tuesday and Wednesday be

signal practice on the card for last
night, the South High Packers are
lri fairly good shape for the Fremont

Captain Fred Sutter will be unable
to play, because of an Injured ankle

of the lineup.
As a rule, the team is shaping out
well, and both Coaches Patton and

Big Bill Brennan ramo bark from
the grave last night to frolir In the
limelight for a short 10 minutes.
At the end of 10% minutes he was
flopping around on the canvas like
a shotup rabbit while Referee Leo
Shea held aloft the right hand of
Billy Miske in token of victory.
There were two surprised men hi
that ring, Miske and Shea. Brennan
was bothered about other things than
being surprised.
Among others who thought there
was going to be a battle of the cen
tury, second only to the slugfest of
Dempsey and Flrpo, was one Thomas
Gibbons.
Tommy, lifelong friend of Miske,
hurried through his art to be at the
ringside to shout encouragement to
Miske in eritieal moments. About
the time Tommy got firmly settled
In his ehalr the fight ended.
It had been arranged for Tommy to
tell about the battle. It was over to
soon for him to even, see much of it.
Bill Brennan must be eonvineed of
one thing today. He is no second
Willard. He wUI never win one fight
as a eomebaek, only to lose another.
Miske has bright prospects ahead.
The winner of this bout was expected
to rate a meeting with some fast boys
during the coming winter.
The only thing that Miske proved
was that he still parks a pretty fair
wallop and can keep all the Bill Bren
nans in the world from coining back.
It was to bad but Billy Miske didn’t
get a chance to show whether he still
ri^es a chance at Johnson or some
of those fast ones. About the time
he got warmed up the fracas stopped.
Morrie Schlalfer got the shock of
his life when he socked friend Sum
mers.. He was not alone. Summers
showed quite a little surprise st that
precise moment also.
Summers seemed to think that the
only thing a boxer had to do In the
ring was pose. Idea* are being re
arranged In his head today.
The fight* here ami on the Ear Iflr
roast are two different thing*. Srhlal
fer never fought on the roast, appar
ently, from the way he dug in.
There I* a man in town who be
lieves drmly that he Is a dghter. He
has yPt to gain he first opportunity
to prove whether he Is or not. That
man Is Running Elk.
Running Elk lias thought for some
time that he would like to start hi*
dstlr career with Joe Stangl aa an
opponewit.
Since last night that thought has
become almost an obsession.
Bnd ( liambers, the boy from Wich
ita. showed that he had a good heart
even though he larked a wallop.
If he had been able to hit as well
as he could stick he would have end
ed his bout long before the dnal bell.
Ace Htidkin* took the match on
points. Ace also took a couple of
good slap*. He hit Rod with every
thing hut the mat and that was nail
ed down.
Between the two boy* It* hard to
say which hit the other the most

There may fie about 100 left this
morning but they will go before noon,

Of all tho people who have pur

thing.
Those same people may be awfully
disappointed. Nebraska may possibly

Fremonters to
Tabor Monday
j j
Kretnont, Neb., Nov. S—In
sponse to an urgent request from
business men and football fans of
ths city, Midland college has sched
uled s game with Tabor (Iowa) col
lege to be played in Fremont on
Monday, November 12, Armistice
day. For the first time, the business
houses of thecity will close In ob
servance of Armistice day, and the
game will afford many who have not
yet witnessed the Lutheran grid
sters in action an opportunity much
desired.
The Iowa Presbyterians have always
been able to put out a strong eleven
and this year Is reported to be no
exception. Midland will pull the
"iron man” stunt by playing Kearney
Friday of this week and then en
tangling with the Iowans only three
days later.
Coach Speer's men entrained today
for Kearney. The Midland mentor
announced definitely that Fullback
Adams will not start In the game
at Kearney, because of injuries suf
fered In the game with Grand
Island. Hap Adams, one of Mid
land's strongest cogs, was practical
ly out on his feet for two quarters
In the last game. Ho has not yet
recovered from the Injury on his
head, and Art Chambers, ex-hlgh
school star, will be taken from his
Job at end to take Adams’ place.
At the final rehearsal Wednesday
afternoon, Luschei and Cunningham
were still out with Injuries suffered
in the same game. Whether they will
be able to enter the fray at Kearney
1* still undetermined. Speer is
anxious to save some of his men for
the game Monday with Tabor and
will probably resort to some second
string men who have shown up un
usually well.
Midland's chances for another pen
ant and the Warrior reputation as a
fighting machine is at stake In the
struggle with Kearney.

hunter—anything In the way ol
game Is his meat. The other
day a friend and he went out after
anlpe and chased through a lot of
marsh for elusive and wily littla Ion*

drake mallard.
"Let him go,” called the friend,
"you’ll only cripple it with enipe
shot."
Virgil disdained the advice and
blazed away. Down dropped the mal
lard.
"And don't tell me after this that
five charges of No. 9 snipe shot won’t
kill a mallard,” was his comment.
Now comes a goose hunter. Charles
Lefflngweil of Valley, Neb., Is one
of the old-time hunters and he was
shooting ducks and geese on Ne
braska rivers back in 1 SSI.
Sez he:
I used to own a Parker 10-gauge
and while going over to a pond, I
saw a few geese in the cornfield near
me. I crawled till I though Id better
not go any further so I up and fired.
I got one goose, a big Cannucker,
From where I lay to where he lay,
land he toppled over stone dead, tha
I distance was exactly 101 corn rows.
Figure tlie above out for yourself
—and believe It or not.
