Denies Violation
of Agreement
Omaha Battler Notified to Ef
fect That With Payment of
$500 Proposed Action
Will Be Dropped.
AT BOYLE has
retained coun
sel to represent
Morris Sc.hlal
fer in the jam
the Omaha wel
terweight has
become involv
ed in with the
Minnesota box
i n g commis
sion.
W. F. Sailor,
secretary of the
Minnesota box
i n g commis
sion, lias pre
ferred charges
against Schlaifer in an effort to have
him suspended by the National Box
ing association.
Sailor claims Schlaifer violated a
contract made to tight Jimmy Jones
in St. Paul on January 25 and to take
part in no other fights before that
dale. Sailor contends Schlaifer's fight
Pi with Paul .Doyle here Friday night
was a violation of that agreement.
Sailor's first action was to call off
the Jones-Schlalfer match and Billy
Wells was substituted for Morrie.
Next he called off Morrie's fight
scheduled for February' 8 In Duluth,
where the Omaha welter was to meet
Shnonich. His third action was to
notify Pat Boyle that he was seek
ing Schlaifer's suspension in every
licensed state in the union.
Jack Reddy, St. Paul matchmaker,
who was to have staged the Schlaifer
Jones battle, told Boyle over long dis
tance telephone that the dispute could
bo settled if Schlaifer would pay a
fine of S500 and then fight. Jones in
St. Paul later.
This Boyle refused' on the grounds
that It would be an admission that
Schlaifer really ha/1 (violated a con
tract.
Boyle's position is that no agree
ment was made not to fight prior to
January 25.
"Sailor says ho himself made the
agreement orally with Sehlaifer,” said
Boyle. "That's blah. I make the con
tracts for Sehlaifer and Sehlaifer
can't make any agreements on his
own account. As a rtiatter of fact,
Morrie denies he made any such deal
with Sailor. I stand on my contract
with Reddy and no such agreement
was contained In it.”
The national Boxing association
holds Its annual meeting at l»iils
ville beginning Tuesday. If Sailor
pushes bis complaint against Mor
le the charges will be brought up at
that time. Boyle Is now making ar
i ngenients for representation at
this meeting.
Boyle also announces lie lias re
ceived two flattering offers for
Schlaifer's services, one from Port
land, Ore., the other from Boston,
Mass. The dates offered are both
I • February and Boyle Is not yet de
termined as to which he will ac
cept, although It is probable he will
decide to take Sehlaifer east to Bos
ton unless the Minnesota suspension
is made to stick. In that event he
will be free to go to Portland, as
that city is outside the National Box
ing association.

Score With Nebraska by 32-20 W in
Norman, Ok! . Jan. 20.—The Sooner*
took unmerciful rvenge on the vis
iting Nebraskans basket ball squad
Saturday when they handed them a
32 to 20 defeat and thus evened
things up with the Huskers this
season. The first half was furiously
contested throughout, with the
Sooners leading, 13 to 14, at the
whistle.
It was the second period which
proved the Sooners better. The
Huskers failed to score during the
first 14 mlnues of play In this half
and but two long shots were regie
tered during the entire half, while
the Sooners continued to Increase
Lhelr speed and score.
Wallace of the Sooners was high
ppint man of the game, with five
goals fi'om the floor and a Bingle
free throw, although Wheeler of Ok
lahoma shot four field goals and two
free throws.
Nebraska’s scoring was divided be
tween forwards, Usher and Cozier,
with both men accounting for >,■«,
points each.
Nebraska was outmnneuvered with
the exception of the first few min
utes and as the game progressed the
difference between the two teams
was more and more market! wfth the
Sooners easily superior. Captain
Usher of the visitors was easily the
star of the losing five, although his
aim at the basket was poor, tfut
three shots of i!4 going through.
