The Red and Black from the state . capital were-all in before the game had reached the halt-way mark. .Central opened up after Brown caged the first goal, and baskets in rapid succession by Marrow’ and Church put the Purple to the front. From then oil the Omahans led, and although the outstaters came within one point of Central In a third 'ally, they failed to tie the score. The Central attack was centred around Wally Marrow, forward. He caged live field goals, two of them from the center of the floor, and a like number of free throws out of six trys.’ Church Scores High. Church was next on the score sheet with seven markers. Captain Lawson played a stellar guarding game besides supplying the bulk of the Purple fight. • For the losers, the floor work of Acker and the goal tossing of Brown was featured.

Guarding and Teamwork of Coach , Schabinger’s Athletes Spell Ruin for Wisconsin Basketeers - ' fa-;—:—-—— - Trio of Bluejays Display a Wonderful Defensive Game —Ike Mahoney Is Out standing Star, By RAI.PII WAGNER. Stuff f urreitpnrulent The Omaha B,r. Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 8.—Creigh ton university's Irasket ball team, termed the “wonder team" of the mlddiewest, added mote glory to its reputation here tonight when it de feated the Marquette university quin tet by the score of 28 to 17 in the first of a two-game series--. The largest crowd that has ever watched the Marquette hoopsters in action on their own court was on hand when the Bluejays took the floor. Playing good teamwork and guarfling like no other Creighton team has guarded, the Bluejays soon had the Marquette eager* in the paltn o( their hand, so to speak. Soon after the game started little Johnny Trout man scored from the free throw Hue and from that time Creighton was In the lead. The half ended 14 to 5. Creighton not only sTiot more field goals than did the Hilltops of Mil waukee, but the Blue and White basketeers outguessed and outguarded the Marquette cagers. Time and again the defense of the locals crumbled under the whirlwind attack of Mahoney, Lovely and Trautmun. Marquette also broke through the five-man defense of the Bluejays, but seldom did they get close enough to the baskets to register goals, so tight and close did the players from Omaha guard their men. Three times during the contest Crclghfbn dribbled and pussed through the entire Marquette squad to drop the leather through lhe net from under the basket and with out a single Hilltopper In close range of tiie shooter. Malioney Star*. Scoring honor* of the evening were rhared hy “Ike” Mahoney and Johnny Trautman, each scoring four field goals and a free throw. But of the two hoopsters Mahoney was the out standing star of the game. It was his floor work and basket shooting that caused the Marquette followers to ap Ida ud for him more than once during the evening. Mahoney played his posi tion tonight if he ever did, and even the Hilltop fans claim that he Is the best basket ball player to ever grace the Marquette gymnasium floor. Trautman played well, as usual, but the locals were rangy players and Johnny is small, very small, but In spite of this, played a good gHme. Hick Haley and Joe Spelcher were a tower of the well known- strength on the guard wings. Haley broke up numerous Marquetto plays, three right under the basket, while Spelcher took the hall from the center of the court through the Marquette team and when lie -was In close range of the basket flipped the leather through the hoop. For Marquette. "Red” Dunn was the best. Me played gitSrd and he guarded well. Ho shot one basket from long range out of a half dozen trlnls, and while hi* eye for the net was far from accurate, 111* guarding more than made up for his weakness In shooting basket*. With the exception of the early part of the first half, when the score was 4 to 3 In favor of Creighton, Mar quette was never In close range of going ahead of the BlUCjays. A short time l»efore the Initial period ended the Creighton team worked like a Hlg Ben and the result was five field goals that enabled the visitors to end the first half. 14 to 5. Marquette Scores. Marquette came out for the second half and soon after the period start ed, chalked up two baskets. The Hilltoppers are noted for their Inst period attacks and so are the Blue Jays. Marquette students thought their team was on another scoring spree when it scored two field goals in quick succession, but the Creigh ton defense tightened and then the visitors counted twice from tho floor, making the score 18 to !». Quinn of Marquette then shot from long range and the locals were only seven points behind Mahoney drib bled down the floor and scored a field goal, only to have Dunn repeat for the Hilltop, Speicher and Traut man registered for Creighton, mak ing tho score 26 to IS. McKenna boosted the locals score to 15 and Trautman added the final touch to the Creighton score with a pfetty basket from the side. At that stage of the game Coach Mchabinger substituted Corenman fur Trautman: Hyan for J,ovely, and Koudele for Hpelcher. Just before the game ended McKenna scored the laat Marquette field goal which made the final* score read f'reigliton. 28; Marquette. 17. . The second game of the series will he played tomorrow night.

Two New Stars Uncovered in Athletic Meets Goodwill and ;^clier, Sprint ers, Perform in Likely- Man ner in (James Held in Last. -- , New York. Fob. 9.—Bill Goodwin of New York city is a new star in the Olympic firmament. Bill isn't the prettiest runner in tho world, but he has a potent faculty for covering the ground. There is a lot of waste motion in the way Bill manipulates his legs. He fails to grab all the aid he can acquire from his arms and shoulders and the. nicer balancing of his torso, but Bill gets there, never theless. Bill got there first in the Metropoli tan one-mile championship three weeks back and he came within a faint whisper of getting there Satur day night. January 19, in his mem orable race with Joie' Ray at the Fordham games. Had he started his final spurt a stride sooner he would have sent the redoubtable Joie to his second defeat in four days. Kay Too Cocky. Joe his little to be cocky about as regards his recent visit here. H. Lloyd Hahn of the Boston A. A., failed to surrender a yard of the 20 yard handicap Joie granted to him and preceded the Chicagoan by fully 20 yards in crossing the finishing line in the Silk A. A. 1,500-meter run, aqd Goodwin's "almost victory" gave Joie a worried look. Goodwin was not the lone Fordham games performer who disclosed Olym pic possibilities. Vernon Ascher, in winning the 440-handicap from scratch gave a very pithy .exhibition, and Tommy Campbell finishing second in that event, also after starting from scratch, are a pair of middle distance men who must be reckoned as pos sible passport grabbers when the good ship America steams away on June 10. Ascher has a world of strength, a barrel of speed and* showed an ability to apply it at just the right time. Tommy needs work. He's been twining his legs around classroom chairs and lie has yet to shake the kinks out. Ascher Is Newcomer. Ascher is but a newcomer to the game of track. His first real win was the national junior A. A. A. quarter mile crown on August 31, 1823. His running on tile Stagg field, Chicago, speedway on that afternoon so impressed Hugh Hirshon, president and treasurer of the Wiley Athletic association, that lie invited the new Junior king to compete in the pre Olympic games of the Wilco A. A., w hich took place at the Yankee stadi um, September 8. Against a fast field, which included Jake Driscoll of the Boston A. A., the bolder of world record* for the 500 and fiOOyard dis tances and former Intercollegiate and national A. A. I’, quarter-mile cham pion, Ascher triumphed In a thor oughly impressive rjianner.

Sportsman Finds Conditions at New Orleans Far From Perfect New York, Feb. 9—A northern sporting man who has just returned from New Orleans brings a doleful tale of his experience in the Crescent cilv. “No more winter racing for me at New Orleans!" he says. "I ant glad to return to New York where I can enjoy real life and forget what has happened since I left here In Novem ber. “In the first place, tile weather conditions at New Orleans ever since racing began at Jefferson Park on Thanksgiving day have been fierce. There has been noth ing but rain to make the track a sea of mini and drench one to the skin nr sudden cold spells to cause numerous ruses of sickness among the regulars! "One of the leading bookmakers has just beitten an attack of double pneumonia by a miracle. Similar illness has driven many owners, trainers, layers and players away from New Orleans which seems to he steeped in hard Idck this sea son. 4 “So called 'big money' Is scarce and the bookmakers, burdened witli heavy expenses, are bucking a tre mendously bard game. In fact, most of them are losers and may not be able to get themselves out. "During the Jefferson Park meeting the attendance was good and the bet ting lively despite the constant rjin and mud. The admission rate was 12.20, which attracted hundreds Of speculators who now patronize poo!< rooms rather than pay almost twice thd.'t sum to enter the Fair grounds.

I— . _ _ _ v The official handicapper for the London Jockey dub has slapped a weight of 140 pounds on Epinard. the French vegetarian hose. _ Epinard means spinach in French weights and measures. But 140 pounds means apple sauce in French lacing. Epinard will not race in England because his owner isn't going to turn a race hoss into a piano mover. If Zev went to England they would probably want congress to ride him. If Man o' War went over there they would undoubtedly tie his (ail to a wagon and tell him to do his best. That 140 pounds is too much for any oat grabber to carry around un less he had two back'xmes and eight legs. Man o' War could win with HO pounds. He could win if his jockey invited hlS wife and her folks out for a ride. He could win if they loaded him with building material and a la oor strike. Hut the owner of a race boss doesn't want to break that hoss's big heart just to please a lot of loose leaf handicappers. Grey Lag won plenty of races) with 130 pound.; Iwclanced on iris nefic. But HO pounds is too muchs That be longs In a Morris chair and not In a saddle. t If the London Jockey club wants to tiansfer freight why don't they use n»otor trucks?
