UOVIDING the plans
of Coach Henry
Schulte of the Uni
versity of Nebraska
materialise, J o I e
Ray, Lloyd Hahn,
Ray Watson and
Harold Osborne, the
cream of the track
athletes of the
United States, will
atnieuc department
compete In match
races at the Mis
souri valley track
and field meet which
will be held at Idn
coln, Saturday,
May 24.
The valley track
and field meet will be held at the
University of Nebraska thi» year for
the firat tima In the history of the
conference.
Of all the years of track and field
competition among Missouri valley
aehools, tha annual meet has never
bean a financial success, and It Is
Coach Schulte's plan and desire to
make tha 1924 Misourl valley track
and field meet not only the biggest,
bast, and most of all, successful, but
also a success financially.
It Is Coach Schulte's idea to bring
Jole Ray, tha fleet little Chicago taxi
cab driver; Lloyd Hahn, former Falls
City (Neb.) athlete, and Ray Watson
of Kansas, together in a match race
at a mils. This would be a great
raoa and attract thousands of track
fans from fa/ and near. Harold Os
borne, tha Illinois athletlo hurdler
who la considered one of tha best In
his class, also may compete in an
exhibition race before tha epectators
at tha May 24 track and field meet.
Coach Schulte, who was in Omaha
yesterday, said that prospects for an
other winning track and field team
at Nebraska this spring look mighty
bright. Tha Husker aplked-#hoe per
former# have won tha valley meet
for three consecutive seasons and ex
peat to repeat again this spring.
Tha Huekar coach was high in his
praise of his athletics, especially
“Mud” Gardner, who will try out
for tha Olymplo team. “Mud” ie cap
tain of tha Nebraska traokstera and
Is a middle-distance man, being
especially good at kicking cinders in
tha ayea of his trailing opponents.
Every institution in tha conference
plans to send tha eream of their track
and field athletes to the meet. Com
petition in tha various events should
be close, in tha opinion of Schulte.
During our conversation with Coach
Schulte, tha head of tha track and
field squads at Nebraska aald a few
words, praising Coach Chet Wynne
and his relay team of Creighton uni
versity. Schulte believe# Wynne is
one ef the beet track coaches in this
part of tha country.

Alfred bunsdorf. who lives
In Trenton, wants to know what
chance The Glutt would have
against Flrpo. In the first place,
these two fighters shouldn't he men
tioned in the same language.
The Glutt was so tough that he
lind to go into winter (iiisrters like
Hagenliark's animal eirrus.
When The Glutt was only 2 years
old he got sick from biting a sour por
cupine and they called (he doctor.
Nobody knew what to feed The Glutt
until the doclhr ordered 10 pounds of
raw meat and a cage.
He shook hands with Jeffries
once. If the alphaliet were hones,
Jeffries' backbone would be the let
ter 8. The Glutt is 90 years old
now. hut nobody ran tell how tough
lie is going to he until he gets his
first set of teeth.
Jim Corbett was a pretty good
fighter until The Glutt swung one
from the engine room and walloped
him under the fnre. It was the high
est Jim ever had gone without teklng
an elevator.
The filutt hired out to he Demp
sey’s sparring partner. But it was
all off one day when Kearns found
The Glutt hammering nails without a
hammer.
The Gintt was so tough that he
dropped pehhles Into his clam stew
like oyster crarkers.
There was a story In yesterday’*j
paper that somebody had given Presi
dent Coolidge a canary bird that sings
bass. It’s a fake. The only canaries
that sang bass came from Rufflown.
And they not only sang hsss, but
sharpened their beaks on cats’ claws.
Rufflown was a tough place. All
! the telephone booths were padded
cells. The biggest gsme shooter in
! the world, a guy who had killed
barehanded elephants and Ilona In
Africa, was run out of Rufftown by
a rrleket'a chirp. And that rrirket
was only singing Its rliild to sleep.

Time Period Given Them by State League Directors to
Ask for Link's Territory in Nebraska Loop, Says Grotte.
“WAG.”

member nf the .Ne

The Western was
given until mid

members, President Grotte this
morning was preparing to carry the
fight of the two leagues to Secre

codn territory has expired.
According to the rules of baseball,
a league of higher classification can

er classification between August and
October of each year. The Western
failed to live up to this rule and at
the recent meeting of the State league

ern until P'ehruary ]4 to file. The
option expired last night and the
Western has not filed.

federation, cannot be held without
the consent of the State league
president and Grotte lias not heard
even a murmur from the Class A
club owners. A league holding a
meeting in the territory' of a league
of smaller classification without
first gaining the consent of that
leagues president Is subject to
$750 fine.
"The State league directors are
anxious to see Lincoln enter the
Western league," Faid President
Grotte, "and even went so far as to
allow the Western utytil Feb. 14 to
file for the territory hut when Tear
ney and his club owners refused to
take notice of the extra option the
directors decided that Lincoln could
remain in the State league this sea
son.”
* The money raised in Lincoln wa»
to purchase the baseball park and
not tbe franchise from the State
league. Shares were sold to busi
ness men of Lincoln to raise the
J20.000 with which to purchase the
playing field. The Western league
plana to move the Sioux City fran
chise to Lincoln and have Howard
Wakefield, former big leaguer,
manage the club.
The Western league cannot operate
a club in Lincoln as long as the cap
ital city remains in State league ter
