Admirers of Lloyd Hahn Believe
Championship in Store for Nebraskan
Falla City, Neb.. Jan. 3 0.—Falls
City friends of Lloyd Hahn now'see
a world championship in sight for
the Nebraska Olympic fitar as a re
suit of his sensational race at Madi
son Square Garden last Tuesday
night despite the fai t that he finish
ed third to the great Paavo Nurmi,
with Joie Ray a step ahead.
Local admirers hailed the results
of Tuesday's race as a great victory,
for In finishing In third place Hahn
broke the previous record of 4:14 3 5
held by Joie Ray. They believe that
It ts not entirel?’ impossible that
Hahn will take Nurmi's measure be
fore the Finnish superman's Amer
ican campaign is over. They point
out that Hahn is still improving,
having clipped nearly 5 second* from
lost year's mark of 4:19, while the
Finn is probably at the peak of his
career. In two years Hahn has clip
ped 6 seconds front his record, run
ning the rtiile in 4:20 in 1923, 4:19 In
1924 and 4:14 1-5 last Tuesday night.
Falls City admirers of Hahn insist
that the title of ‘'superman'’ should
he applied to the Nebraskan even
more so than to the Finn. Nurmi is
a tried veteran of many campaigns,
having been an Olympic winner as
far back as 1920. Hahn, on the
other hand, never ran a distance race
until 18 months ago and did not go
into training for last Tuesday's race
until about two weeks ago. If he can
run an Indoor mile with only two
weeks training in less than 4:15, what
ought he do after a few more races!
Hahn, in a letter received here last
week, declared that he was In the
best shape of his career and expected
this to be his greatest season, after
which he will probably hang up Hie
spiked shoe for good. It Is quite like
ly, however, that if Hahn is to make
any* records the performance* will
take place on any track but Madison
Square Garden, for the Garden has
always been a "jinx’’ to the Falls
City. flyer.
Hahn does not fear dole Ray any
more. It Is believed by many that
Ray primed himself for his big rare
with Nurmi and he shot ids bolt last
Tuesday night, putting all he had
Into the race. While Hahn also ran
his best last Tuesday he has neier
run himself to the point of exhaus
tion, always running under insiruc
ticns from «'oarh Jack Ryder to hold
some in reserve for future races.
Entries for 1927 Futurity Stakes
to Exceed 1J>20 Recorded Last Year
New Tork, Jan 10.—The entries for
ttie Futurity stakes of 1927, valued
at more than $100,000, will exreed
the 1.520 recorded last jear. Accord
ing to the early entries it Is a fore
gone conclusion that a record will b«
set when the nominations close.
Secretary Schaumburg reports new
breeders as patronizing this fixture
which Is easily the leading classic
for juveniles raced for In the 1'nlted
Statee. The race dates hack to 1S*9
when It was won* by Proctor Knott
in a bruising finish with Salvator at
Sheepahead Bay. The Futurity was
the pride of the Toney Island Jockey
club, and when that organization
ceased to exist, it was passed on to
the Westchester Racing association,
and it has been an object of solici
tude on the part of the management
of that racing hotly ever since.
The Futurity of H»?7 fs for the
produce of marc« bred in 1?>?4. Among
the new breeders represented by one

Dempsey Says He’s Estelle Taylor’s
Manager, Not Prospective “Hubby”
Los Angeles, Jan. 10.—’"I'm her
business manager, not her proapec

This was Jack Dempsey's com
ment today on the fact thnt P>

Failure to Count From Foul

Victory — Lose, 25 to 24.
Special IMs|»ftlrh to The Omaha Hee.
Vermillion, S. D., Jan. 11.—Failure
to cash in on free throws probably
cost the University of South Dakota
it* chance to defeat the Nebraska
Wesleyan eager* in the North cen
dral conference opener here last night
and th* Coyotes^were forced to con
tent themselves with the short end of
a 25 to 24 count.
Although the Invading Methodists
led the Vermillion outfit at practically
every stage of the game, the statistics
show that South Dakota had IS
chances to score via the free throw
route, and in only 10 Instances were
the Coyote hoops ten* able to make
their shots go home. The gam* was
rough. 21 fouls being called and two
[players put out «*f the gam*.
After the score had been tied at
11 all. at the end of the first half,
the Wesleyan team spurted at the
start of the new nerlod and piled up
a big lead. With j0 minutes left to
go, th* count of 25 to 21 In favor of
the visitors, and Hinman and Red
field, South Dakota ares, began a
clever demonstration of floor work
which brought the count to 25-23.
Redfield caged a free throw and put
the Vermillion five within one point
of the invaders, but the Coyotes were
unable to make the last basket and
lost by a 25-24 margin. %
Hurlburt, the star center of the
Wesleyan team, and Uembler, a for
ward, were the best bets for the win
tiers, while Captain Hinman and Red
field starred for the South Dakota
team.
The victory gave Nebraska Wesley
an a .500 per cent standing in the
North Central loop, as they were de
feated last night by th* Morningside
college team, 29 to 25. The lineup

Ten Leaders in
Each Division
Mike McTigue Kails to Head
Light Heavyweight Lla*s;
Flowers’ Climb Fea
tures Selection.
” \*mm iatf<l Frews.
K\V 5URK. Jan. 11 —
For the first time
in history of bov
ing in this coun
try, an interna
tional ranking list
of the "First Ten”
in each of (lie nine
divisions lias been
compiled. The
select inn* ha*, e
been made by
Te\ Rickard, in
ternationally
known promoter, in a copyrighted
article for the February issue of The
Ring, national boxing publication. It
i* intended to makp Rickard's rank
ing list an annual feature along the
lines of all-star selections already
made annually in baseball, football,
golf, and tennis.
Recognized champions head all ”
Rickard's selections except the light
heavyweight division, in which Mike
VfrTigne, world's title holder. Is rated
only fourth. Top position is given to
Gene Tunney. \meriean 175-pouml
king, with Young Ntrihline. sensation
al Georgia school hoy, second, and
Kid Norfolk, New Vork negro, third.
The sensational climb of Tiger
Flowers, Atlanta negro, who is rank
ed next to t'hampion Harry Greb in
the middleweight division, is an out
standing feature of the list while
other important developments of 1921
are listed by Rickard as follows:
”1. The collapse of Flrpo through
defeats by Wills and Weinert ami
the rise of Romero Rojas and the
further development of Gibbons in
the heavyweight class.
”2. The success of Toting Strib
llng, who may have a lot to say in
hexing during 1925.
"3. The rise of Fid Terris, a run
r.er-up in the lightweight class.
”1. The decline of Johnny' Dundee
and his resignation of the world
featherweight championship due to
inability to make the weight.”
Rickard gives only complimentary
positions to Jack Dempsey and
Benny la>onard at the top of the
heavyweight and lightweight divi
sions, respectively, because of their
inactivity- during 1924. Dempsey did
not defend his title at all. While
Leonard was injured in bis only im
portant match, a bout at Cleveland
with I’al Moran. Rickard makes it
plain his rankings are based on last
year's actus (performance* and.
this basis, puts Harry Wills at the
top of the heavyweights ami Terri«
fir«t among the lightweights.
Rickard ranks Tom G i hi tons next
lo Will* among the heavyweights be
tatise he feels that Gibbons' money,
making powers are in that division
ralher than the light heavyweight
rank*, where he has done consider
able fighting.
I .atin-America's bid fqr pugilistic
fame i* reflected in the as«icnment
of five Central and t-outh Americans
to place on the kst. Luis F1rpo. who
v.ae considered Dempsey's closest
rival at the end of 1923, drops to
seventh pice in the 1924 list, while
Qulntln Romero Royss Chilean
heavv w eight is pla, ed fifth Lut«
Vlcentini of Chile t* s vth among th.
lightweights: Jose Iiomhardo of Pa’
ama fifth among the featherweigi -
and Al F'-own. Panama flyweight,
third In his division.
Right nationalities are represented
in Rickard's Hat. The 1'nited State*
has the hulk of representatives wi*h
T6. while the Philippines and Kng
land are each represented with three
fighters Chile. Panama and Canavi.,
with two each, and Argentina and
Italy with one each.
