The University of Kansas and the Kansas Agricultural college indulge in a slightly bombastic passage at arm* following the gridiron competi tion between these universities. Now comes the high schools of Grand Island and Hastings overflow ing with diatribes regarding each other's personal conduct. It seems that we have been occupied by an absurd illusion in holding to the belief that the fundamental pur jiose of athletes in our educational In stitutions is to engender the spirit of r.portsinanship, good fellow ship >and honest competition. Sailor Takes No Chances. MR. FREI5DMAX, the well known nautical pugilist, seems to keep himself well informed. The following is offered as evidence: Some months ago Morrie Schlalfer went over to Davenport, la., to keep a date with Cowboy Padgett, the cele brated punch absorber. Schlalfer, as is occasionally the case, neglected'to train down to the poundage required by the articles of agreement. I’adgett claimed Schlaifers weight forfeit. So Schlalfer proceeded, to cool the cow boy In the sixth round otMhereabouts. Hud Logan underwent a similar ex perience when he performed the same trick. Bud escaped the knockout, but he suffered an unmerciful beating. Now when Schlaifer and Freedman exchange wallops to the chin at the Omaha Auditorium December 17 the articles of agreement call for a $500 poundage forfeit. But the nautical one seems to have beard about Pad gett and Dogan. Hla manager lias written Schlalfer advising the Omaha welterweight that he will have to make 145 pound.*, as per contract, or there will be no_flght. "We won't claim the $500 weight forfeit,” says the manager of the ship ahoy fighter. "Friedman won't enter the ring.” That's thaj. Rasehall moguls are flocking into Chicago. Everyone is talking trade Now watch the quotations on ivory i soar. Ed Weir's Qualification*. ED WEIR, after only one year of experience on the Nebraska eleven, U elected captain of the team. Weir, transferred from the backfield, where he played in high school, to the line—hie position is tarkle—may oftentimes escape the observation of the spectators, pyro genetically intent with the scintlla tions of the backfield men. But Weir was one of the principal reasons Ne braska beat Notre Dame. Of course. It was Eewellen's punting that gatned the first yardage and gave the Corn huskera the jump, but students of football will tell you that the out standing reason the far-famed Hoosler backfield failed to g»t away was the wonderful wlork of the two Nebraska tackles. For one who has no per sonal knowledge of the individual traits and characteristics of the m*n on the team, it Is difficult to tell whether a linesman possesses the qualifications*of a good captain, but in that Notre Dame game Weir proved himself a man capable of do ing more than his share in an emer gency, which may be accepted as a pretty good indication that Weir will be able to carry the responsibilities of his post satisfactorily.

HA 0010 seie Hsratr *« Hotel Rome Cafeteria The Bt»t Thai» All Dykes, Naylor and Harris May Be Traded \ddition of Slugging Detroit Tiger to Mackinen Would Give Athletics Big Punch. *• _______ By DAVIS J. WALSH. EW YORK. Dec. 6.—From under ground murtd comes tlie intima tion that tlie Philadelphia Ath letics entertain high hopes of do ing business with the Detroit Tigers for the valued services of Harry Heilniann, cham pion hitter of the American league. « Heilniann would give the Athletics |a punch they otherwise lack. Wheth er Cobb would care to part company with the spark plug of his batting order, even for a second baseman and several pitchers, is another matter. The same authority, if any. pro fesses to believe that John McOraw has displayed symptoms of a desire to wean ‘'Butch” llenline, catcher, from exile in Philadelphia and stands ready to pay handsomely for tin privilege. These may be two bits of business ready to coine to a boil at the an nual meetings at Chicago next week and then, again, they may be mere ly a few coals for the hot stove league. \ny Jleilmann transfer, of nece« titj, would have to eome at almost a prohibitive priee. Cobb Is a tough ' citizen to do business with, hi* idea of an even trade being based on the theory that your dollar I* worth just 99 cents to him. He wants the edge, and if he cuts loose from Ifeilntanii, he will get it. It is understood that Connie Mack might be persuaded to use Jimmy Dykes, second baseman, and Bryan Harris and Rollie Naylor, pitchers, in a deal for Heilmann. Dykes would bring the Tiger infield up to major league standard and make the club one of the most dangerous in the American league. It was Cobb s weakness at second base last year that cost the Tigers any chance they mav hate had for the pennant. There is the difficulty of weaken ing the Tiger outfield, always a Detroit fetish. They have had out fielders in Detroit when they hate had nothing else. Cobb developed a pair of very plausible youths last season in Manush and Keathergill and plans to use both of them reg ularly next year, hut the passing of Heilmann would be rather precar ious business. In view- of the circumstances, Connie Mack might find that the tariff on Heilmann Is more than the exchequer can conveniently stand. No Tri-State ~ League—Grotte c There wil be no Tri-State baseb»'i league, composed of Nebraska State league teams and one or two Iowa teams, according to Dick Grotte. president of the Nebraska State league, who returned Wednesday night from a meeting of the State loop moguls at Lincoln. Nebraska State league officiate want an all state league and nothing else, according to President Grotte. ‘ The prospects of the six-team league being enlarged to eight teams looks very promising. This matter will be decided after the meeting of major and minor league moguls ht Chicago next week. President Dick Grotte will leave Saturday night for Chicago, where he will attend the big baseball meeting. Patton. O.. Dw. a. JsrT P*x ef leeda Knsland «n.t Blocki* Richards.
