Lincoln Wears Out.
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. Captain Corrick was
a tower of strength on defense.

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;

Two New Stars
Uncovered in

Goodwill and ;^clier, Sprint

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.

N. Y. 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.
"One of the few bright features of
the winter meetings is the marvelous
riding of Parke, the young jockey who
is under contract to Harry Payne
| York tracks this year."

London Jockey Club Limits Epinard to 140
Pounds and Two Trunks.
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? '
But it serves Pierre Wertheimer
right for naming a good boss after
a vegetable when neither America.
Prance nor England has any ba
nanas.
