OACH GRAF'S Peru goal sharks jumped Into the lead in the state conference race by virtue of a 17 to 16 win over Nebraska Wesley an's basket toss ers in a eage thriller staged Friday night on Hie Methodist floor. Tile victory marked the fifth straight win for tile Bobcat crew. mieMMubacIi * close guarding and two goals from the court were the out standing features of the Peru-YY’esley an tilt, although YYeimer’s five free tosses were deciding factors on the score sheet. Graf’s athletes had a • lose call earlier in the week with the Cotner Bulldogs, when Barmen ter's outfit forced the conference lead ers to extend themselves to win by a 16 to J3 count. YVayne Normal, aided bv the re' markable shooting of Captain Beat, continued to keep In the running by nosing out Coach Nossek’s Doane col lege flve. 23 to 21, in a battle on the Wayne floor. Kearney Normal's speedy quintet climbed a rung In the conference ladder by defeating both Nebraska Central and York college by decisive scores. The Fulmer aggregation was at the top early In the season, but losses to YVayne and Midland sent the westerners down the line. Ernie Adams’ Omaha university team copped its first win of the season by trouncing the crippled Midland tossers, 19 to 15, In a Monday night engagement. The metropolis crew was wrecked early In. the season when four of the regular cage flve were declared Ineligible. The Omaha quintet won their sec ond conference game Saturday, de feating Doan college, 18 to 13. In a ^ hard fought contest on the Omaha court. Hastings nosed out Grand Island college, 22 to 21, in a hotly contested skirmish staged on the Zebra floor. Poore, Hastings forward, tossed in the winning shot in the final minute of play. The game placed the Holst flve with a 500 average and sixth place in the standings. York, although it lost to Kearney, has the makings of a winning team. Strengthened by the addition of Ost bloom, former York High school toss er, Coach Sarson's outfit should make things hot for other conference fives. Nebraska Central slipped further down Into the cellar by taking the short end of the count in a game with Kearney Normal. Nelson Win* Pair. Nelson.

EL MONTE, Cal.. Feb. I t? 17.—lvdlth Cum mlngs, national women's golf champion, easily came through the first round of match playing of Pebble Beach tournament yes terday. She ended her match with Mrs. Luber Kennett, former state and South ern California champion, on the 10th green without permitting her op ponent, one of the best women golf ers in California, to win one hole. Scarcely spectacular was the dis play of Marion Hollins, former na tional champion, in her match with Maud Bell of Los Angeles. Miss Hollins eliminated the long hitting Santa Barbara player on the 11th green after duplicating Miss Cum mings' brilliant performance of a 39 for the first time. Mrs. William Van Antwerp of Bur lingame, the Del Monte champion, car | ried Mrs.H. G. Hutchings of Wlnni I peg, former Pacific Northwest cham pion, to the 17th green in a valiant battle. Miss Doreen Kavanagh, state cham pion, and Mary K. Browne had fairly easy matches with Mrs. George Midg ley and Mrs. Joseph Mayo. Miss Louise Pike, young Los Angeles star, gave Mrs. H. D. Hammond, former western champion, a battle until the last few holes, when the steadiness of the veteran told. The draw brings Edith Cummings and Marlon Hollins together in the second round of the match play to morrow. Experts are agreed that U should prove the greatest match ev'e* played by women in the west.

Ily FRANK I.. CHANCE. Manager Chicago White Sox. OS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 17.—Onoofthe most gratify i n g things that ever happened to me in my baseball career j was the receipt of a telegram from President Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox refusing to accept my res igns) ion as man ager of his club. For the last few weeks I have not been feeling well but am rapidly on the mend. Fearing that the fact that I could not report with the first squad of White Sox to visit the Florida train ing camp would prove a detriment to the club I tendered my resignation to Mr. Comlskey but ho would not ac cept It. I am confident that shortly after the last of the players arrive at camp I will be able to report and take charge. In the meantime it is up to the club owner to appoint a temporary manager and judging from the talent on the club, there are a number of players fully capable of taking charge of the early work. When I arrive at camp T will take counsel with those who have been in charge of the work and the weed ing out process will begin. I appreciate Mr. Comlskey's deci sion to turn down my resignation. When I report I will give him my very best efforts snd am confident that a short delay In reporting will not affect the club In the pennant race. (Copyright, 1M4.) Hawkeyes Trim Chicago Maroons Chicago. Feb. 17—The University of Chicago last night was toppled from its place among lenders in the Big Ten basket hall series as a result of its defeat by Iowa at Bartlett gymnasium here. The score was 21 to 13. The game started out to be a real battle but long baskets by Jsnse and Laude at the beginning of the sec ond half when the teams were tied at 11, took Chicago’s nerve and from that time on, the result was never in doubt. As a result of Chicago’s defeat and the defeat of Purdue by Michigan at Ann Arbor. Wisconsin romped into first place in the conference with its defeat of Illinois at Madison.

A large and wildly excited crowd witnessed the meet. Wild excitement spread through tlie crowded gym as Creighton’s blue and white-dad athletes piled up their winning margin. Five first places, two seconds and three third places coupled with our fourth, gave Creighton their victory. The thrill of the evening came when Blissard of Creighton copped first in the mile-run after trailing for three quarters of the distance. A mighty spurt in the last ihree laps gave victory to the Blue speeder after lie had been pocketed throughout the early part of the race. Blissard was given a mighty ova lion when he sped over the line winner by three steps. With Blissard winning the mile run tlie meet resolved into a hat- , tie between Des Moines and Creigh ton, high honors being at stake un til the last event of the evening when the Bluebirds’ crack mile relay stepped out and tore off a thrilling victory, while Des Moines was forced to be content with a j poor third.

No Team Has Gone I lirougli Season WilhoutDefeat— 1924 Classic Should He Success. Picking a 1924 state Iiigli school tourney winner is like shooting craps in cliurcli—it’s out of ortN r. No high school five in the state that will get in the class A group ha* gone trough the season without suffering a defeat, Uneoln, Omaha Tech, Central, York, Fremont and all the rest have looked like sure winners at times only to be humped off some unexpected monieot hy an opposing quint. Uneoln liigli with wins over Creigh ton Prep, (entral, York, Geneva, Al liance, Hastings, and CDiversity Place should be in the running. In fart, Lincoln has lieen in the running every yearuntil after the first round. The coliseum floor lias been a jinx to lied and Black quintet, hut witli Frank Corrirk & Co. running true to form, many capital city team follow ers think that it is a Uneoln year. Tlie home tossers have not won a tourney since 1920 when Coach Mead's five defeated Omaha Com merce for the state honors. Uneoln. however, holds the record for the greatest number of tourney champion ships with five wins. Creighton Prep in .spotlight. Creighton Prep held the spotlight until a defeat administered last week by Fremont's fighting tossers. The Brennan aggregation looked good ail season with Captain Coffey and Gor don Detains in the leading roles. The | young Bluejays captured the cham pionship of Omaha fqr the second ! time In as many years by defeating Central, 17 to 14, Tuesday night. The prepsters also have wins over Tech. Plaitsmouth. and the Aggies. The Blus and White five a lanky outfit and like Tech have tournament strength. Omaha lech. 1923 tourney winners got off to a bod start. Coach Drum mond had difficulty in getting his men to pars the ball and consequent ly many games were lost. The Tech five recovered in the middle of the season and gave Coach Browne's L.n eoln five its first defeat of the season. The champions have a goal shark in Charnquist. and Holm and Swanson are two of the best guards in high school circles. Captain Zust. who jumps center for the Techsters. is a valuable floor man and will give op posing pivot men plenty of discom fort. Ernie Mubka's York team were hit ting a fast pace in the early season games, but the graduation of Captain Ostblooin crippled the Blue and Gold outfit. Calvert, younger brother of Johnny Calvert. Wesleyan star, is the shining light on the York five. H» is a dangerous man and will have t» be watched when tourney time comes. South Won Early Gaines. South Omaha, like York, were earlv season winners. Graduation knocked the heart out of Coach Patton's com bination and the Packers have had difficulty In entering the win column since. Fremont looked good all season. The Dodge county sharks defeated Creighton Prep in a thriller Thurs day night. 30to 28. The Fremonters also have wins over Omaha Central. Aggies and Hastings. Yalentine Chadron. Bayard and Sid ney are the representative teams in the western section of the state. Goth enburg is strong and Morrill High has been winning regularly. Coach Rothert's Plattsmouth quint have been tearing things up In the eastern section of Nebraska. The Plattsmouth five have always had a strong tourney team although they have competed In class B for several seasons. Everything considered the 14th an nual tourney should be a whoopir? success.
