time some inside work, such as
wrestling and development of leg

equUibium. He believes in wrest
ling as a good means of developing
men. Preliminary training will also

out for practice but would extend a
general invitation. He wants a big
squad out so that latent talent may

end try running signals. Bearg left
for Urbana tonight. He expects to
move his family her# as soon as he
can dispose of his Urbana property.

ing the Palmer college five of Albany,
Mo., 38 to 27, here last night.
The Tabor cagers were not called
upon to extend themselves at any
time and while showing a brand of
basket ball considerably improved
over that displayed against the Kear
ney Normal five last week, they
should have piled up a much larger
score. The score at the end of the
half was 20 to 7 In favor of Ta>t>r.
The Palmer boys reversed their
speed during the final half and this
» accounted for their scoring In the
last period. Lucas, forward, starred
for Palmer with his basket shooting
and speed. For Tabor, Lennox scored
12 points and displayed good floor
work. Mawhor also played a good
gams for the Iowana.

Pittsburgh Infield for Next Race
Composed Largely of Youngsters
Bjr AMAcUtfd rr«M.
1TTSBURGH, Pa., Jan.
24.—Radically recon
structed as a result
of their 1924 showing
and with a new In
field. composed large
ly of youngsters, the
Pittsburgh Pirates
loom as a potentially
strong but uncertain
entry Into the coming
National league race.
Most observers pick
Bill McKechnie's crew
to finish well toward
the top.
The Pirates figured in the most
sensational-trade ot the winter season
when they sent three veterans—
Charley Grimm, first sacker; Rabbit
Maranvllle, secpnd baseman, and Wil
bur Cooper, southpaw pitching nee—
to the Chicago Cubs for George Gran
tham, second baseman; A1 Niehaus,
first sacker, and Vic Aldridge, right
handed twirler.
Relative advantages of this whole
sale transaction have aroused keen
debate.
The Pirates will go Into the race
with plenty of outfield strength and
a fine pitching staff. Max Carey,
Carson Blgbee, Hazen Cuyler and
Clyde Barnhart probably will patrol
the outer pastures, reinforced by
Grantham, who held down the key
stone sack for the Cubs last season,
but Is expected to be transformed Into
a regular outfielder.
The Infield Is the Pirate question
mark. Fromm* will be replsced by
Nlehaus, a newcomer.

Ten-Round Bout Here
Next Friday

HEN Jack Re

Roper meet at
the city auditor
ium Friday eve
ning in the main
event of the
American Le
gton's fistic show,
the result will 1 +
of unusual im
portance In box
lng circles.
Until recently,
Renault, Tommy
Gibbons and
_____ _ __ Harry Wills were
considered the
oustandlng contenders for Jack
Dempsey's title.
When Renault sustained a defeat
at the hands of Romero Rojas six
weeks ago, his stock received a se
vere setback. And when Bob Roper,
In turn, defeated Rojas, the compar
ative dope ranked Renault as below
both Rojas and Roper.
If Renault Is to regain his standing
as one of the "big three" contenders
for the title, he must demonstrate his
cleancut superiority over Roper In
Omaha. Otherwise, Dempsey’s hon
ors no doubt will he turned over to
Gibbons and Wills to squabble over.
Roper Is far fronj an easy mark for
Renault or anyone else. The former
army captain has never been knocked
out.
A shrewd, Intelligent person, both
In and out of the ring, Roper has a
faculty of "doping out" ways of de
feating championship ssplrants. He
Is known as the premier "blaster of
championship hopes."
Th« semi-windup Friday promises
to be a real scrap. Johnny Nichols,
who Is well-known to Omaha fans by
his three victories over Morrie Schlai
fer. Is fighting Henry Malcor. Mal
cor Is fighting practically for nothing
In order to demonstrate his ability
before Omaha fans, with a view to
ward getting a match with Schlalfer.
Malcor has won more than 60 per
cent of his fights by knockouts.
Tommy Grogan, undefeated feath
erweight, is down for one of the pre

Central High quin
tet In a fast game
played at Technical
High gymnasium.
The final score was
30 to 19 In favor of
Central.
The out stale
crew at times dis
played some real brand of basket
ball, but It only lasted for a few
minutes. Worley', who was one of
the bright lights on the Blues’ grid
team, was the outstanding star for
the losers, with four spectacular field
goal s.
Right from (lie whistle the Central
hoys got the Jump, and kept It
through the entire contest. Marrow
broke away in the first 60 seconds
of the game and drihbled through
the entire Beatrice tram to cage one
of his underhand shots Into the net.
Marrow then tried a foul shot, but
' the hall bounced out of the mger.
"Manny” Robertson then followed
with a side shot, and Central had a
comfortable lead. Johannes then
caged two markers from the foul
line. Bill Egan surprised the spec
tators when he dribbled down the
side lines to sink the leather from s \
difficult angle. Robertson again got
loose and caged a si tot from the
middle of the floor.
Before the first quarter ended Wor
ley stepped Into the spotlight when
be took the ball from center and
after passing two Central guards
tossed a neat side shot. Here the
first period ended, with Central hold
ing an S to 4 lead.
For the remainder of the flret half
Central continued to outplay the boys
from Beatrice. Worley and Johannes
frequently tried long ehots. but to
no particular avail. Marrow ehot
two baskets in quick order end Ho
racek followed with one from the side
of the court. Johannes then ehot a
foul. AcaJn the flashy Worley cut
away from his man and arched a
high basket into the net. The half
