, WO of tlie greatest
cage combinations
in tlie middle west,
the Creighton unl
vesity of Omaha
and the University
of Nebraska of Lin
coln, will clasli on
the Creighton floor
tonight at 8 in
what promises to
he the classic of
the local basket
- ball season.
The ltlne and
! Wlilte and the Scar
let and White will
meeij tonight “even Stephen.” There
is ni favorite.
Ciieighton, by virtue of its U con
secutive wins, was, up till last week,
an early favorite, but the loss of
•Tk«" Mahoney, one of the greatest
centers in the west, puts tlie two
squads on a par basis.
Soine 'argue that Creighton should
hohU the edge, as the Schabinger
coae^ted .quintet has had a week to
restjjup for the game, while Nebraska
has Engaged in a pair of tough games
with Iowa State and Missouri,
However, the Bluejavs have three
of their regulars, Ryan, Brown and
Corenman, on the partly maimed
list, and their play will be retarded
considerably.
Coach Bill Kline will lie able to
use the team tonight which has
worked Jail through the season, while
Sch!|binger is still experimenting
with Ryan, McKenna and Shlnstoek
at the huh of his machine.
Ryan, who lias been stationed at
a forward all season, is playing a
new position at renter, and it is prov
ing a difficult task for him to fit into
the groove left by Mahoney.
. As a result, the rontiuuity of play
which has characterized the llill
toppers’ style throughout the season,
has been chopped to pieces.
E. C. Quigley of St. Marys, Kan.,
will referee the game. Frank Burch
w ill umpire.
All .reserved seats are gone, but
Coa^h Stehablnger announces that 800
general admission seats will go on

IOWA'S CHANCES
: SI IM AT RELAYS
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Rff.
l'Jwa, City, la.. Feb. 27.—With the
sllmjnfest chances for a high score for

Pr. {Walter K. Fieseler and 23 Hawk
eye Trayk men left tonight for T.'r
<1 be-*5- enter the annual Illinois re
1-"g tmvuiinow Iowa's chief hopes,
Wh'ch lay in the mile relay event,
v hich the Hawkeye# have won for
the last three years, were shattered
when Johnnv Kveringham, quarter
miler, was called home because of a
death In his family, and when Rob
erts, colored veteran of the team,
was spiked by a basehall player,
leaving only two tegular quarter
milers for the event.
The defeat to Wisconsin last Satur
day showed that Coach Breauahun's
men were not performing in winning
style, and since then he has been
throwing his attention to the mile
relay team in an effort to again win
this event at the carnival. The loss
of his two regulars upsets the eijtlre
plans of the Iowa mentor and the
chances for even one first place are
slim.

“Babe” Ruth After New Home Run
’ Record; Wants to Lead Majors With Bat

classified under
the heading of it

national point of
interest, except
when that individ
ual happens to be
"Babe ' Ruth, .lust
now, in a figura
live sense, tile
eves of baseball
fandom are center
ed upon the
mighty struggle of the mighty bitter
to reduce his famous waist hue and
condition himself for a campaign. In
which he hopes to fulfill a twin-am
bition.
The "Babe’s’’ double-barreled goal
this year is to eclipse the record sea
son's home run harvest of OB, “which
he established in 1921, and to lead
both major leagues in batting. The
"Babe” has been spending his time
this winter on the links and in the
hot baths at Hot Springs, Ark. There
was a time when temperament was
Ruth's main obstacle but he has over
come this.
| Granting, however, that the
! "Ifahe" will lie in trim when the
j harrier lifts on the 1925 chase, liis
i i lianees nf setting a few new rec
ord* with the bludgeon are not re
mote. The widespread impression
thal If nth was just a home run hit
ter has licen pretty well removed
h> the evidence of the past season
or I w o. If nth is now recognized as
one of the greatest all-around stars
the game has ever known. Walter
Johnson filled a somewhat similar
lele in flu- game's drama last fall.
Starting his 13th season in the
major*, Ruth's record would seem to
leave little to stir any ambition but
his own. tie first attracted note at
a star pitcher, then Inaugurated a
new era in long range gunnery and
finally, established Ills merits hr an
ill around star, a good base runner,
quick thinker and reliable fielder, as
well as a champion batsman and run
maker. Ills all-around worth was
recognized officially when the Amer
ican league gave him its most valua
ble player crown in 1923. Last sea
son, Ruth led the American league
hitters for the first time with a mark
of .37$ but this was topped by the
modern record percentage of .4235. set
by Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis
Cardinals. Ruth is out this year to
pass Hornsby in tire averages as well
as in home runs.

and out popped Bud's right shoul
der. Seconds aided in replacing the
member and he finished the fight.
Rater Bud fought Tommy Ryan at
Three I ball park, Terre Haute, and
again that right shoulder popped out.
Then followed his famous fight with
Georgie Rivers at Ros Angeles, Cal.
He threw out the shoulder In the sec
ond round, yet gameness carried him
on to victory In four rounds
Several weeks ago at Indian
apolis, Taylor again boxed AI 7.ie
mer and as in their first match
Bud's arm (topped out.
Then he was booked to box m
New York and Cleveland. His left
thumb, which had been bothering
him, vtas bruised in work prior to
the New York scrap and he was
forced to ask postponement. Cleve
land then called off the Taylor
melee, fearing lie was not fit.
That caused Taylor to go to New
York, where he consulted Or. Fra
lirk, noted specialist.
The tendon, surgeons say, has been
stretched by Taylor's long right-hand
swings. As a result of the loosened
tendon it pops off his shoulder blade.
The operation Is Intended to shorten
the tendon by splicing It, and then
sewing the strands tngethei Y\ hen
healed the tendon thus will be short
ened and tightened and will hold Its
place In the natural pivot the shoul

TOURISTS DODGE

Nebraska roads were a source of

said M. E. Morrison, executive secre

the complaints of tourists were so
numerous and so bitterthat the.' were
sending eastlvotind autoists b> north

turns of western Iowa.
'Western states spend linhtons on
good roads and are more than re
paid by tourist trade. If the people
and the legislators of Nebraska could
hear what Is said and see the effect of
our state s lack of good roads. I be
lievs It would bring an Immediate
change In the attitude toward this
Important subject.”
