Madison Square
Garden Suspended
by Commission
v— -1-/
New York, Feb. 14.—Because the pub
lic was not notified until a few hours
before the bout last Friday night be
tween Tancho Villa and Georgia
Marks it would not be a champion
ship affair because Marks was four
pounds overweight, the management
of Madison Square Garden, where the
bout was held, will be unable to con
duct a boxing program arranged for
February 25.
This was the chief suspension of a
batch issued yesterday by the re
organized state athletic commission.
The commission alleged, though Tex
Rickard, manager of the.Garden, later
denied it, that the promoter had failed
to keep sufficiently in touch with the
fighters to know whether the fight
would involve a title, as it was billed
to do, and that he had not actually
received the required $2,500 weight
forfeit.
South Five to Play
Thomas Jefferson
Coach Patton has been drilling his
team hard all week, and the South
High Packers are in tip-top shape for
their tussle tonight, with the Thomas
Jefferson High five of Council Bluffs.
Hoy Hoden has been steadily Improv
ing and is expected to start at cen
ter in place of Captain Wedberg, who
is slated to play forward. The other
forward position will probably be han
dled by Wakefield, Smith or Bernard.
Wakefield, at present, seems like
the best bet as Wedberg's running
mate. Joe Reeves and Clark have
been working together at guard like
well-oiled parts of a machine, and
should put up a strong front against
the opposing quint.
South's probable Ilnaup will be
Wakefield, right forward; Captain
Wedberg, left forward; Hoden, center;
Reeves, right guard; Clark, left
guard.
The second stringers are also show
ing up strong and expect to win from
the strong Central High second team,
in the preliminary tonight. The subs
held the first stringers to an 8 to 4
score in 25 minutes of scrimmage last
night. The seconds will play a return
game with Waterloo High next Tues
day.
The seconds had previously defeat
ed the Waterlooltes, 24 to 18, and It Is
reported that the Waterloo quintet is
out for blood. Coach Lowry expects
to use the following men In the game:
Fitch and King, forwards; Knlstrom,
center; and T'rben, Harding and Bell,
guards.
Numerals Awarded
to Husker Athletes]
Lincoln, Feb. ii—.with four m»
merals already won snd 30 other
track athletes with points to their
credit, the 1924 track numeral roll
competition among "Indian” Schulte’s
cinder artists promises to surpass all
previous years in the number of
numerals won and the number of men
competing.
Everett Krites ‘N’ man, and holder
of the Nebraska record In the 220
low hurdles, was the first man to
win his numeral. Other Husker
tracksters who have earned their
numerals are Wipperman. Al Blood
good. and Dean Higgins. Wipperman
earned the emblem by his per
formances in the 660-yard run and the
quarter, while Bloodgood won the
numeral by making fast time in the
50-yard dash and the 440-yard run.
Higgins stepped off the quarter in
56 seconds and the half in 2:07.2,
His performance gave him 22 point",
whereas only 12 points are required
for a numeral.

HE savants of the Princeton fac
ulty have at last decided that
the most Important word In the
English tongue is •'loyalty.’’
Whether or not this be true, the de
cision of these erudite minds Is in
teresting. Perhaps loyalty la the
most Important thing we have to
deal with after all. For, to use a
double barreled argument In Its be
half, one might ramble far In prov
ing that most of life's disasters can
be blamed to lack of loyalty. Say,
for Instance, the weakening of loyal
ty to one’s natural gifts, a shaken
faith, or something of the sort.
What Is the most important word
In athletics, the sport world? Is It
■'speed.” "condition.” brains.” "nat
ural ability"—or Is It "loyalty" here
too? The writer passes that one
along to the savants, the wiseacres of
sport. We have no candle of en
lightenment at hand whose rays can
pierce the darkness that envelopes
that quia. But one can see, never
theless. that loyalty plays a decent,
respectable part in athletic schieve
ment just the same.
Dempsey’s success In the ring hss
much to do with loyalty. loyalty,
after all. Is closely linked with faith
in something, confidence in a belief,
or in one's self.
•Dempsey believes In the power of
his punch and In the Inability of the
other fellow to endure it. He Is loyal
to the sure, devastating returns of
the knockout wallop. Jack believes
It la the quickest, easiest and most
decisive method' of winning ring
combats. The champion has won
41 battles In thiV fashion. No wonder
he Is loyal to the method.
In fact the only time the ■ Man
Killer” divided this grim allegiance
with something .else he "fell down,”
as they say. That was when he was
training for the Madison Square
Garden fray with Bill Brennan. Jack
had a young fellow In his training
camp by the name of Marty Farrell.
This Marty was quite a smarty
along fancy lines of boxing. Far
rell's showy, superficial skill for
some reason fascinated Dempsey.
Our "knock down and-drag • o u t"
champion felt the urge to become
a "pretty” boxer like Farrell.
Jack forgot his loyalty to the real
thing and began aping Farrell. For
a few rounds he tried to "show up”
Brennan with his highfalutin' ring
manners. Jack made a mess of It.
For his lark of loyalty he almost re
ceived a cauliflower ear. Jack re
turned to his old faith after that. He
hasn’t since swerved his loyalty from
the good old knockout Jolt without
frills.
Loyalty Is the keynote of Demp
sey's success In more ways than
one. Better than moat scrappers I
have ever met he realizes the supreme
value of taking care of himself. His
dissipations are comi>aratively mild.
Dempsey exercises a little every day.
In this he is loyal to his natural tal
ents. The faith in his knockout wal
lop never lacks the essential support
of prime physical condition.
Lhyalty, however, is sometimes the
agent of ruin. Which is more power
by the way. It brought Jess Willard
y the way. It brought Jews Willard
down when It carried Dempsey on
high at Toledo. Willard was loyal
to an exaggerated belief In his own
fistic superiority over everybody. He
couldn't bring himself to believe any
man could knock him down, let alone
a smaller individual like Dempsey.
Jess was half trained, strange to the
ring after years of idleness. Yet he
had a wdld, crazy conceit, faith In his
great bulk and punch that brought
humiliation for him.
Dempsey knocked him down seven
times In the first round, and massa
cred him in three. Reware of loyalty
to an exaggerated ego!
Loyalty to a single right hand wal
lop, and a contempt for even the rudi
ments of sound boxing, made Firpo
bow to Dempsey.
The best ball players owe something
to loyalty for their fame.
Christy Mathewson survived for
years on the mound as the greatest of
twiriers. It was loyalty to a method
that put strain at the minimum. Matty
had a wonderful ‘‘fade away," a slow
shoot that curved In toward the bat
ter. It was wonderfully effective,
but Matty used it sparingly. This de
spite the fact that his admirers con
stantly asked, “Why don’t you use
It all the time? They could never
hit you."
Walter Johnson was loyal to his
brand of speed. He knew he could
beat them with his “smoke," his "can
non-ball." Friends gasped at his con
tinued high-geared exertions.
‘‘Tou'll burn yourself out. Better
use some curves." ttiey cautioned.
Johnson has been 17 years "burning
cut," and he's only now beginning to
mix in a few twisters.
How Willie Hoppe trains like a
prize fighter to condition himself for
a championship cue match. How he
avoids reading and other things that
strain the eyes, that he may continue
to rule the fraternity of the green

Olympic Committee in Europe Reports Great Prog

l j
OUR ski hoppers and toe-scooter*
were defeated so generously In
what they think are winter
sports that the American Olympic
committee has dished up the usual
alibi from a brand new book of re
cipes.
In the lirst one or lliree esse*,
when a school of Yank athletes is
walloped by a gang of unnaturalized
persons, there must he some happy
apology for it.
In the eighth cnee, our sklloapers
were not used to the brand of snow
they manipulate over in Europe. The
Switzerland snow grows on hills and
arrives at a strange angle. It In slant
ing snow.
Snow in America Is Just some
thing the street contractors get rich
on. We rnn't recognize It unless
we see it In a wagon. New Yofk
spent $5,##6,000 removing snow
from the streets last winter and not
a nickel in removing skl-jumpcr*
from the snow.
The result Is that American snow
falls on flat street and la very smooth
when you shovel. Rut Swiss snow
grows on the bias. It ts also much
stronger thnn United States enow.
So our ski-tumblers were defeated
after they finished and before they
started. What we should have done
was to spend those five million dol
lars In bringing more snow Into this
country from Murope.
That would have given our lioys
a chance to get acclimated to the
strange Swiss m itinlain snow,
which is not only thicker and hrt
ter than our domestic snow, hut is
more scientific., as the Swiss watch
makers throw their old springs,
wheels mid works Into the snow
drifts.
We could have arranged this five
million dollar snow deal very easily,
is Marry Sinclair was over in Kur
ripe, and Marry is great on those
climatic deal*.
As to the lieating our ice skaters
accumulated over there—well, the
ice is much colder in Kurope than
in America.
Our checker players may get
whipped, too, as we have never
played against left handed Portu

-s-Joie Ray of Chicago Olympic Committee Hardly
Looks for Joie Ray, America s Greatest Distancer, to
Win the 1,.00-Meter Race.
DAVIS 1. WALSH.
EW YORK, Fob.
14. — Individual
victories in 12 of
the 20 events on
the Olymplq track
and field program
are conceded, even
at this premature
moment, to ath
letes of foreign
countries by those
in close touch with
dec»lopments here,
it became known
today. The esti
mate was furn
1 ished by an A. A.
I', man who knows his business as
the ice man knows his tongs Fiu
land, looming larger daily as Amer
icas arch rival, will score the major
part of the European viAoriee, our
informant believes.
'“Although the subject is rather
carefully avoided, I think every one
familiar with the situation realizes
that the Americans will he out
scored in individual victories," de
clared this man, whose identity is
withheld for obvious reasons.
“Where we expert to come
through is on the basis of team
strength. It would not surprise
me if European athletes won at
1,300 metres, 3,000 metres. 10,00ft
metres, the marathon, the 3,000 me
tre steeplechase, the pole vault, the
javelin, the discus, the shot put, the
10,000 metre walk, the 3,000 metre
team race and the cross country
run.’’
Elaborating on his estimate it de
veloped that the American Olympic
committee hardly looked for Joie W -
Ray, America's greatest distancer, to
win the 1,500 metre race. The race, it
developed, is expected to he a two
man affair between Paavo Nurmi, of
Finland, holder of the world's record,
for the mile, and. Wide of Norw'ay,
with Nurmi a natural favorite.
The latter is also conceded first
place in the steeplechase and cross
country races with Verne Booth, of
Johns Hopkins, the only American
having a chance to break through in
tha hill and dale event. Nurmi might
also have been placed at the toy of the
list in the S.iToo m?t<=r scramble, were
it not for the fact that it tolls on the
same day with the 1.500 meter race.
If h* cares to try for a four-ply vic
tory, equaling Alvin Kraenzlein's rec
ord. Nurmi will lie the favorite at
10.000 meters, although Dereaux, of
France, who bettered Guillemot's
niarks, is coming like the wind.
W illie Kitnla. of Finland, is liked
for the 3.000 meter race provided
Joie Ray doesn't shift to the longer
distance at the earnest holiest of the
committee. Myyra and Johnson, of
Finland, are thought to have the
javelin throw at their mercy and
another Finn, identity unknown, is
a prime favorite in the discus.
John Hoff, of Norway, with a rec
ord of 13 feet nine inches, is expect

will bring the victory liome.
The team showed up better against
Central High in scrimmage last nig.^_ ^
than in a long time, and their of
fense gives promise of scattering a ^
few thrills Saturday night.
Coach Adams announced he is not
yet satisfied with the work of 1 s
team, and intends sending the men
through one more stiff workout be
fore tomorrow night. He is requirii g
every man on the team to shoot
free throws before the game, the same
