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.

I t?
17.—lvdlth Cum

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

played by women in the west.

Chance Will
Remain With
White Sox
President Comiskey of Chica
go Club Refuses to Accept
Resignation of Popular
Manager.
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.

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.

the 3,000 meter Olympic special, out
standing event of the track and field
carnival, hut failed In a valiant at
tempt to lower his own world'a record
for the distance. Ray broke the tape
43 yards In front of Verne Booth of
Johns Hopkins, Intercolleglnte cross

Romlg of Penn state third.
A world's record for 400 motors was
established by Jake Driscoll, Roston

match relay. The. time for the 440
yards was 54 2-5 seconds, bettering
by four-fifths of a second the former
record established last year by the
Valcour club.
A fourth world’s record was estab
lished by Hrhu.vler Bnck, brilliant
Penn state middle distance runner,
who defeated Hay Watson, Chicago,
national half ndlo champion, and

mighty and loud, when Byrne, star
two miler, stepped off the distance
in fast time and hrought home an

'
f
ASHliNU OUl a
thrilling final
period rally, the
.South ,llig h
cagers took the
measure of the
Technical bas
keteefs on the
Cuming street
tloor Saturday
night by a IT
lo-12 count.
Tech had led
all through the
first period, the
first half end
ing. 10 to 5. in
favor of the
Maroons, but by
1 staging one of
the rallies for which the Packer* are
noted the South Sidrrs were able to
emerge victorious.
The game started in funeral style,
with both squads losing many chances
to score because of poor passing.
Tech was to the front of a 1 to 0
score at the quarter.
Charnquist and Clark, a pair of
abbreviated suited scrappers, started
the second quarter with fisticuffs,
and from then on the game took on
the aspects of a street fight.
Tripping and hacking marred the
play, but added to the zest of the
contest. Reeves. South High guard,
was ejected for four personal fouls,
while Charnquist had a trio of pen
alties called against him.
After Nelson had opened the final
period with a neat under goal mark- j
er, the South offensive opened up
in earnest.
Smith, diminutive Packer forward,
caged a trio of goals in as many
minutes Clark added a point over
the free throw route, and South went
into a tie with the Maroons. The
third quarter ended 12 to 12.
A long pass, Wedberg to Clark, net
ted the Red and White another goal,
while Smith's mldcourt ringer sent
the Packers into safety.
Coach Drummond sent in Zust and
Boder jn an effort to stem the tide,
but the effort was wasted. Clark
tossed the final goal of the fray via
the free throw route. . ‘
The work of Smith, Clark, and
Wedberg was the feature of the
South play. This trio of huskies
played whirlwind floor games, while
Smith was high scorer of the game
with eight counters
Swede Charnquist played stellar |
ball for the loser*..

ing Sidney in the closing minutes of
play. S to 7.
Though headed the major part of
the game, the Sidney quintet was
always dangerously close and held
the lead for a short time in the Anal
quarter. The sterling defensive wotk
of Bristol for Chappell was the fea
ture of the battle.
Employing a brilliant attack, the
speedy Pine Ridge Indian machine
copped the Class H championship by
druhbing Crawford high. 12 to K.

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. The large number of team
with fine records coupled with the
muddle of upsets and setbacks should
keep state cage fans well entertained
on March 8. T. and 8 when over -0"
teams are expected to fight for the
trophies.
