Firpo Claims
Injustice in
Dempsey Fight
Referee Counted Him Out in
i
Eight Seconds, Claim
of Argentine.
By A&ftoclatod Fre*».
Buenos Aires, Nov. IS.—Luis Angel
Firpo, the Argentine heavyweight
fighter, arriving homo tonight from
his unsuccessful quest in the United
States for world championship honors
told the large crowd that greeted him
that although Vie had been promised
justice in his fight with Jack Demp
sey, Justice was denied him.
Firpo praised his seconds in the
championship fight, particularly Hor
atio Lavalle, who he said was forc
ibly held back when he attempted to
enter claims qf fouls during the fight.
He added that although prior to the
fight William Muldoon, chairman of
the New York state athletic commis
sion, promised him that 1% would be a
fair fight and he would get justice,
* justice was denied him. Firpo said
he was counted out when he was on
the floor only eight seconds.
Firpo'* first words constituted a dis
claimer that he had intended to be
come an American citizen. The stej
he had taken that led to the belief
he sought American citizenship had
been taken under a misapprehension,
he declared. All he had done in the
prize ring, he added, had been done
for the Argentine and all that he
would do hereafter would be for the
honor of his native land.
To the Associated Press, Firpo said
he expected to get into communica
tion shortly with Tex Rickard regard
ing his next fight which would take^
place in the United States. It was
extremely unlikely that he would dun
the gloves in Argentina, except in ex
hibition matches. He would remain
in his home land until March, after
which he would depart for the United
.States, where he was counting uporv
a return fight with Jack Dempsey for
the world's championship.
Firpo appeared to be pleased with
the treatment he received at the hands
of the American people, especially
after the fight with Dempsey. He
said that the referee in the battle at
the Polo grounds might have been in
fluenced by the spectators, hut that,
on the whole, he was not displeased
with the treatment he had received
in the United States.
Firpo told the crow’d that welcomed
him that he had refused an offer of
$200,000 to fight Harry Wills in the
United States, but he was willing to
fight for half that purse, provided
a fight with Wills was held in the
Argentine.

WIL.LIAM Kavan, boxing commis
sioner, has issued an order mak
ing $3 the maximum charge at
Omaha boxing shows. A wise move,
but quite probably an unnecessary
one. Omaha promoters have found—
through the Firpo-Smith show, for
which a $7 top was charged, and the
Miske-Brennan affair, for which ring
side seats cost $5—that when the max
imum admission price exceeds $3 the
public is disinclined to buy. The Fir
po Smith Hhow lost money; the profit
on the Miske-Brennan bout was about
$500. K a van's order "makes It cer
tain, but having learned the lesson
of experience it is quite unlikely anv
Omaha promoter would venture to
'tackle a program which would cull
for more than a $3 price.
Hack to Normalcy.
It is with crossed fingers that we
hark to the tearful eobs and melan
choly walls coming from Nebraska
followers who are so forlornly discour
aged over the Injuries to six Nebraska
athletes. Putting aside the question
of the tactics, said to have been em
ployed by the Ames gridsters, which
Is another issue in itself, we refuse
to become excited over the reported
damage to Nebraska's chance against
Syracuse. Too fresh in our memory
are recollections of the hospital lists
the late Jumbo Stlehm used to put
out each week. It seems like old times
to have an enthusiastic gloom dis
penser distributing the advance dope
from the Cornhusker camp. Our per
sonal hunch is that at least five of
the six maimed and wounded athletes
will ho “rat-in1 to go" at game time
next Saturday.
Offhand one Is probably justified In
venturing an opinion that Coach Fred
Dawson’s complaint against the Arnes
eleven contains at least some merit.
It seems a little outside the range of
possibilities that six men on a team
as well trained and conditioned as
Nebraska’s would be removed from
a single game on account of injuries
unless the opposing team was a wee
bit too strenuous in its methods. Early
in the season, before the men were
thoroughly conditioned, an occurrence
of this kind might easily happen, hut
in #ie middle of November only the
stiffost kind of football could bring
such results. *
Walter Hagen wins a freak golf
match In which each of the 150 play
ers entered contributes a prize. Where
else would It be held than Rye, New

Harry Eidson is given a position on
the executive committee of the Mid
west Bowling association. They al
ways give Harry a job with plenty of
work. He's never been vice president
of anything in his life.
The only thing the International
Boxing union neglected to take away
from Battling Siki was the rough
house championship of the Paris cab

that title sewed up.

PURPLE AND WHITE TEAM’S
BIG VICTORY OVER LINCOLN
PRACTICALLY CINCHES TITLE
Broken Bow Loses Out in Raee to Grand Island, 0 to 3;
Hastings Keeps Record Clean by Defeating Aurora,
While (.rawford Wins Western Nebraska Champion
ship by Trimming Chappell.
n
riE Omaha Central, with Its overwhelming defeat
of the strong Lincoln eleven Saturday, has made
the best state football championship claim yet
sounded by any aggregation In the circle. And with
the brand of football which the fast metropolis ag
gregatlon displayed on the Capital City gridiron,
it is very doubtful that any Nebraska high school
team Is capable of forcing Coach Schmidt's proteges
to hike the short end of any score.
At ground-gaining, the work of Morrow and
Captain Howell was the most conspicuous. Thomas
mid Egon were also active In the attacks aimed
at the P.ed and Black forwards. Marrow's open
field running. C'gptaln Howell's torific smashes,
Egan's generalship and Thomas’ playing, both on
offense and defense, were the bright spots of the
Omaha style of play. These players following up
the -consistent work of an Impregnable line, tells
the story of the Purple’s chief claim for the titular
Lincoln, under the direction of Captain “Jug'' Brown, tried fruitlessly
to make headway in the direction of another state championship. But with
a lino that could not hold, efforts to gain were of little value. Late in the
game, an aerial attack was resorted to. Several long passes were made,
but the ground thus gained was soon lost when the Purple forwards sifted
through to down the passer. _ I
,lim Brown Hayed Hard.
The playing of Captain Jug Brown
and IJorsry McIntyre was the, only
bright spot in the colorless game
played hy the Red and Black. Brown
succeeded in making several long
gains but was brought down each
time before threatening to score.
Once a puss, Lewis to Brown, was
completed, and the Lincoln captain
raced over for a touchdown. The
play was called back, however, be
cause Lewis crossed the line of
scrimmage before passing. Brown's
toe booted the field goal which gave
Lincoln its only tally .
Dorsey McIntyre played a steady
consistent game at left end. On one
occasion, lie sprinted <15 yards after
Marrow to down the Central .back.
The Lincoln forwards were unable,
to hold against the charges of the
Purple line. Omaha players sifted
buck repeatedly to down the IJn
coin backs before the play was more
than atarted. With such a team as
Central possesses, elmnipionsliip
claims are justified.
Other title contending teams In the
state met their Waterloo* during the
past week. Among the chief aspirants
was Broken Bow, the Custer county
aggregation wliieh fell to Grand
Island. 3 to 0. A field goal was all
that was needed to put a blot on a
spotless record. Broken Bow had
previously defeated Ravenna, Mason
City, Kearney Normal Reserves,
Gothenburg, Lejlngton, Aurora and
Columbus.
Crawford Wins in West.
Crawford won the western Nebras
ka championship l>y taking a 84 to 0
victory from the Chappell eleven.
Iloth teams were undefeated before
the battle eac h team having won from
aggrgations in the west section of the
state. An overwhelming win over tlie
("happell team, gives the* Dawes coun
ty lads an undisputed title.
Hastings added another win to its
record by trouncing Aurora, 2fi to 18.
Aurora has a strong team and had.
previously played a scoreless He.
with f annul Island. Coach Dick
Newman's Hastings proteges have
been undefeated this season.
Ashland staged an uninteresting,
game with rapiliian. easily with
drawing a victory, 102 to tt. I'apil
lion was ho|H‘leHs|y outeassed.
Coach Knapplo's eleven has been
undefeated this season.
Wllbe. has one of the strongest
little teams in the state. Ju nine* con
tests played, Coach R. L. Pierce’s
team has nnmrsc d a total score of 390
points while their opponents have
scored but 6. Kach team hai been
beaten by a wide mat gin. The team,
while not claiming any champion
ships, claims to be* one of the better
aggregations In the state.
TmcIi Hatty Winner.
Otnaha Tec h had little trouble dis
posing of Heat rice. Coach Johnson's
protege s were expected to fight «
losing battle, in the opening periods
of is game, however. Tech had a
hard finht and *-acried but » 6 point
advantage.
Arapahoe, according to a compare
live score* basis, should have* lost to
(,'urtls Aggies, but refused to be ruled
by such a comparison. The result
was that tie Agvies wen* forced to
take the short end of a 19 to 0 count.

Coach Supplies Opposing
Team With Lineman
Waterloo. Ia.. Nov. 19.—Football
coaches, striving to outdo each other
in gridiron courtesy, were given a
new example yesterday.
Thn Cedar Rapids Knights of Co
lumbus team came to Waterloo to
meet tile unbeaten Waterloo Athletic
club eleven, and the home team
rolled through the opposing line with
such devastating effect that the
Cedar Rapids coach found himself
without enough replacement troop*
to supplant thn Injured.
As a last resort ho appealed to thn

Lincoln. N'ev. 19.—It was a badly

It will be impossible to put the

and then several of the regulars will
probably lie sidelined. •
Com h Dawson and his staff were

Cut Ames Off List
Dawson Denies Rumor Re
garding Severing Athletic
Relations With Aggies.
By luternutionisl Senlff.
Lincoln, Nov. JD.—Rumors of the*
severance of athletic relations as re
gards football between the University
of Nebraska and Ames, because of
unnecessary roughness on the part of
Ames players in Sat urday’s game were
denied today by Coach Dawson.
"We felt very strongly about the
roughness that took place," he said,
“und I expressed tny disapprobation
to the Arnes coach and athletic dl
rector. They said they were 'cry
sorry for what went oh.
“The whole question is whether,
in the excitement of the game, the
Ames players lost their heads, or
whether they were coached to play as
they did, 1 am inclined to think that
the former is the correct answer to
the incident."
Ames has always played i lean foot
ball heretofore^ Coach Dawson said
hut their brand of ball in the recent
contest was open to bitter complaint
and condemnation.
Action ui>on both the continuance
of football relations with the Iowa
State college and the scheduling of a
game next year with Drake college
will be taken at a meeting of the
Nebraska university athletic board to
be held early this week. D. D. Gun
derson and John Sellei k are members
of the board with Dawson. It is re
ported they are in sympathy with
Dawson's opposition to a continuation
of athletic relations with the Iowa col
ege as both Gunderson and Selleek
s.aw the game at Ames last Saturday.
It is understood that if the Nebraska
athletic board decides to sever rela
tions with Aram, Drake's request fos]
a game with the Cornhuskers in 3924
probably will be granted.
Six players on the Nebraska squad
were so seriously Injured during the
Ames game that the Cornhuskers will
be handicapped by injuries in the
game with By racuse Saturday.

with three vie
turies and no defeats to its credit.
Washington's defeat of Mis* nr,,
18 to 7. was Saturday s big shock
The Pikers, admittedly weak and
having sustained a crushing defeat
the week before at the hands of Kan
sas, came back and downed the Tig
ers, who not so long ago tied Ne
braska who more recently walloped
Notre Darne. Try and write the an
swer to that one!
One follower claims he knov
what's the matter with Missouri,
"There are 18 Missourians at Prince
ton right now pointing tor the Mis
souri Kansas game, under the d.rc -
tion of Hill Roper.” Re that as it..
may, Missouri is now almost at the I
bottom of the heap.
Nebraska's victory over Ames was
anticipated. The tactics employed by
the Cyclones were anything but ethi
cal and there Is one football bet that
is almost sure-fire: Ames will not
be on Nebraska's schedule next sea
son.
Drak“ university is anxious to
hook a Nebraska game next season
•is was evidence by action of offi
i ials of that institution when the Ne
braska team was in Des Moines. Fri
day. President Holmes and Edward
Lvtten, manager of athletics, called
personally on Coach Dawson and
they had but one purpose In mind—
to speak for a place on next seaar n s
schedule. In view of the circum
stances a switch from Ames to Drake
is not at all improbable.
President Holmes played on fbe
Drake team w hieh won- from Ne
braska in 1838, 6 to 5.
Kansas put the Drake team out of
the running for the Valley title Sat
urday when the Jayhawkers w n. 17
to 0. The Kansans relied almost sole
| ly upon stra uht football while Drake
attempted an overhead attack.
Two other conference teams were
in action but they were playing non
conference elevens. Oklahoma was
defeated by 1'niv'erslty of Texa» 26
to 14, in a game played at Austin
"Doc" Stewart, former Nebraska
coach, is now coach of the Texas
team. Coe coliege, the team that
bumbled Drake, a week ago. won

Next week's schedule holds but
two conference games, the headliner
being a non-ci nference affair be
tween Nebraska and Syracuse at Lin
