baskets. For the losers Johanson was
the best, scoring four baskets.
, In the second class C gams Her

two rapid shots.
Valley failed to play the same brand
of basket ball as it had In previous

□HE announcement Friday which
appeared exclusively in The
Omaha Evening Bee that TJoyd
M’Gahan, freshmen ^oach at Creigh
ton, had signed a two-year contract
and would remain with the Bluejays,
was a choice hit of news to all fol
lowers of the Blue and White.
For a time it was feared that
.M'tiahan would accept, the offer he
had from the North Dakota Aggie*
to leave Creighton and go to the
Aggies as athletic director and head
foot hall roach. To lose M'tiahan
would have been a hard hlow to
the athletic department of Creigh
ton.
M'tiahan, as roach of the Creigh
ton freshmen teams, seldom re
ceives tlie publicity that (alia on
Athletic Director Sehabinger and
Head Coat’ll Wynne. Sehabinger
roaches the basket hall teams.
Wynne roaches the varsity football
and track teams. It is M'tiahau'a
duty to instruct the Creighton
freshmen footballers and basket
eers In the fundamentals of these
two games so that when they pass
on to Schaliinger snd Wynne they
will know the style of play used by
the varsity coaches. M'Galian has
been very surresafid in coaching
the freshmen. Without a CPach
like M’tiahan It would he niurli
harder for Coarhes Wynne and
Sehabinger to turn nut as good a
’ team as they do in their respective
games.
The athletic department of Creigh
ton, Sehabinger, Wynne and M'Ga
han, has put Creighton 0Y1 the ath
letic map. With the department In
tact for another two years st leaet,
even greater things are expected from
Blue and White teams.
□tTESS Max Bauman, manager of
John Pesek. Nebraska heavy
weight wrestler, la tired of chal
lenging Joe Stecher to a match In
Omaha.
The day after Peoek pinned
Charlie Hansen's shoulders to the
canvas at the Auditorium, Bauman
resumed his challenging of Joe
Steelier to a best two out of three
fall matcli with the Ravenna WTes
tler. To date neither Joe nor Tony
Stecher have answered Bauman's
iliallenge. It looks very much like
Joe doesn't want to meet Pesek.
Both of the Stecher* saw Pesek
throw Hansen. Maybe that'i the
reason they don't answer th* chal
lenges.
Stecher Is ssld to h* In his old time
condition. If he Is In as good a phy.
slcal condition as they say he is. then
a Pesek Stecher finish majeh would
be worth going to see.
CHARLIE HANSEN says he I*
going up Into the north woods
and rough It a. while. Hs #x
ports to get Into good physical
condition snd then try and land an
other match with John Peaek. Han
sen really believes h# can throw Pe
nck. He attribute* hts defeat at the
hands of Pesek to hi* lack of experi
ence.
The writer saw Peaek throw Han
sen, and it is his humhle opinion
that if Charlie ever expects to throw
the Ravenna wrestler he (Hansen)
will have to learn more about wres
tling than lie knew, or rather show
ed, in his mall'll with Peaek.
THE California boxing commission
has placed a ban on the kidney
punch, therefore robbing "Ace"
Rudkins, Nebraska lightweight, who
Is considered one of the best fighters
on th# west ecoast, of his favorite
weapon.
The kidney blow, delivered moat
effectively as a boxer come* In, Is a
chop over the kidneys. The blow
generally Is delivered while the box
ers are In a clinch.
The California commission says,
however, that the mere turning of
the body by an opponent will make
a perfectly legal punrh appear to be
an Illegal kidney punrh.
Hudklns, according to California
light scribes, has won most of his
fights by wearing his opponents down
with the kidney punch.
THE New Tork baseball writers
who are with ths Yankees at
their training camp In 8t.
Petersburg, Fla., have a lot of nice
things to say about "Nick" Cullop,
last year's Omaha Western league
first baseman.
Here’s what one Gotham scribe says
about the white haired Cullop:
"Cullop ran hit the ball, lie doesn’t
have to stand at the plate and try to
best, his wsy to first by ntesn* of a
base on halls or s hunt. He 1* s slug
ger, and Miller Huggins of th* Van
kees has mentioned It.
Two dozen or more times last sea
son th* Yankees could have won
ball games had they possessed a
competent right-hand pinch hitter.
They have a dependable left-hand
emergency man In lam Gehrig, but.
Ih# eesrch for a right-hander to
shove ki with a soulli-psw In the bin
for the enemy has hern long anil
hard.
He’ll he on hand this year. “Nick"
Cullop I* the tnan. This hlg-boneil
fellow from South 1 In kola ran lilt
any kind of pitching. He hailed
,S?S against all kinds of pltehers.
In the Western league last season
lie made 40 home runs. He made all
the three-ling ger* the Omshs
grounds would absorb and socked
I wo baggers with abandon.
Cullop can hit. lie esn play first
bass. Rs can play ths out field, where
he stood out for an average of .H7
last year In Ik4 gam#*.
Re can elug. He la the quadruple
threat 1n baabsll—the "Red" Grange
of th# diamond.
Re IS n Btuhldreher, * Muller, a
Crawley and a Layden all In out."

priority because It was filed one week
before Gibbons sent In bis battle bill.
Chairman -lames J. Farley, speak
ing for the commission, said: “The
commission has decreed that the Wills
challenge should be given precedence
over the (iihbons challenge because
it was filed first. We have taken both
challenges under careful considera
tion and find that the only way we
can get any action is by taking the
matter right to headqurters.
"Dempsey must make a decision,
one way or ths other, on the Will*
challenge now."
Asked what the eommlselon’a atti
tude would be If Dempsey attempted
to sidestep the Wills challenge and
accepted thp Gibbons challenge. Com
missioner Farley said: "We will cross
the bridge when we come to It.”
Ths commissioner said this was
the first step taken In a campaign
to force all Inactive champions to
fight or give up their crowns.
The telegram to Dempsey follows
"There are tiled In thle office two
challenges to you to box for the
heavyweight championship—your ti
tle; first, Hary Wills filed February
IT, 1925; second, Tom Gibbons, filed
February 24. 3925. Theee challenges
are supported b ya forfeit of J2,5<»«
each.
"The period of time fixed by the
law of this etate—six months— In
which vou have to defend your title.
ha« expired. You ere requested by
the commission to accept or decline
these challenges In the rotation tn
which they are filed.
"Please wire your answer to thle
office within 24 hour*."
