The Omaha Sunday Bee ~ PART FOUR - & y OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1925. 1—D _SPORT SECTION Bob Reagan, Ex-Notre Dame Center, Named Assistant Grid Coach at Creighton - ®_____■___ Former Teammate of Chet Wynne; Reports in Fall Coached Linemen at Universi ty of Utah Last Season—■ ^ ill Have Charge of Bluejay Forward Wall. By RALPH WAGNER. 11 TON UNIVER SITY’S football coaching staff has been en larged to the extent of two new assistant grid mentors, namely Bob Rea gan and Stewart Neary. Announcement that Bob Reagan, former Notre Dame university center, had been secured to as sist Head Coach Chet Wynne at Creighton next fall was made Saturday by A. A. Schablnger, athletic director for the Bluejays. Reagan coached the University of Utah linemen last year and devel oped a squad of green material into one of the strongest lines in the western conference. For his work at Utah, Reagan was complimented by nearly every coach in the con ference. It was his first year at coaching and he more than made a success. In 1921, ’22 and ’23, Reagan played renter on Ihe Notre Dame university teams, and no less an authority on things football than Knute Rorkne, famous Notre Dame coach, says that Reagan is one of the best certers ever turned out at the South Bend school. Chet Wynne, now head coach at Creighton ,and Reagan were team mates on the 1921 Notre Dame foot ball team. Wynne is high in his praise of Reagan and is not a bit backward in Informing the public that his new assistant Is bound to be a success ^s line coach. Reagan will report September 4. He will have- charge of the linemen, while Stewart Neary, former Creigh ton athlete, will assist both Wynne and Reagan in their work. The signing of Beagan—he has a one-year contract—is in keeping with the policy of Athletic Director Schabinger in enlarging the Creigh *ton university reaching staff so that individual instruction may be given athletes competing for berths on Creighton teams. Hear Coach Wynne and his assist ants, Reagan and Neary, will be able to teach football to many Creighton grldstere next fall. Lloyd MrCSahan, freshman coach, will handle the "frosh" gridsters. Yellow Jackets Win. Pittsburgh, Pa., April 3.—The Yel low Jackets defeated the Fort Pitt Hornets, 2 to 1, in an extra period game here tonight In the first of a five-game series to decide the United States Amateur Hockey league title. Both are local teams. I. u lit* gtnart, Tulsa Western league baseball player. Is atill a holdout, but should he decide to sign, there Is a strong possibility that a youngster. Tyrrell, will keep him from being able to secure a contract Tyrrell is hitting and fielding like a demon at this time He Is a player new to the Western cir cuit. but the Oiler manfger. Lyman Lamb, believes he will make good. Sturdy, former flrat baseman with Mus kogep, who was to have filled that hole in the Tulsa r.utfield. broke a leg in slid ing for second base the other daj/ In an Oller-f\>rsi< ana. Tex., game. and the gloom caused by the accident to the promising fielder still hovers nvejr the camp of the Oklahoma team. Sturdy was -.♦one of the most promising youngsters to rome into the Western for a number ef years, according to those who saw hmi work In the Oiler camp. But he ia now lost to the league for this year. I'nlean the Denver Hear* have a atreak of btd luck, the hole in the infield which was one of the weaknesses of the team last year will be remedied for the 1126 season. If one of the several men in camp come through the situation will solve Itself. If Locker or Handley can make the grade the- solution will be simple. If Donovan makes good (iorman <an move over to the hole at third base. This would shift Knight to second base. I'nder any condition the outlook for Im proving the Infield of the Mile High City team is bright. Art Btnkea, pitcher with the Dea Moines Demons last year, who was sent to Phila delphia Athletics, has been spiked by a fish. It is not unusual for a player to hav» several spfkes pressed Into his leg or foot when the said points are on a baseball shoe of an opposing plaver, but Btokes got his spiking from a f«sh The former Western leaguer was fishing In the river near the training ramp of the rlub In Bt. Petersburg, Fla., the other day and while wading In the water his foot waa caught by a aharp fin of one of his intended catches. _ / Joe Stecher Classes His Match With Ed Santell in Fremont Years Ago as His Toughest Struggle on Mat Hv .10K NTKCHER. THE toughest battle I ever bad on the mat came back in the day* when I wa* a comparative novice at the game. It wa* in 1011. My brother, Anton, already had made a fine reputation an a wrestler, but the moat be ever weighed wa* 165 pound*, *n he had no iiopea of ever com peting with the big fellow*. However be met and con quered lot* of great men, and, a* I trained with him, 1 picked up lot* of information that waa to help me later. All the time I kept getting bigger and atronger. On* day I said to Anton: "I think -I can heat you in a finish match.” Hp didn't think I could, an we walked nut behind the barn on our farm and went to It. And after a hard tun ale I downed him for what might be called the "family championship." s Naturally, after that, I went Into the game aa he had done. I developed to perfection the aelaaora hold, which ha* been ao valuable to me In my varloua Contc*ta. And I won a number of matchea without great trouble. 'Our little home town of Itodgr, Neb., waa the center of an agricultural diatrlct. It aoon got ao all the farturra around there would bet their lieada off on me. And the city aporta In Omaha, who were hacking their f>t\orlte* to heat me, had to look around for freah material. “We'll find a IK5-pounder who can pin Htocher,” they told th* Hodge fellow*. And Anally they aent word they had gotten the right man. The match wa* arranged. My opponent wa* to he an Otto f'arpenlen. ‘ We didn't know anything about him, hut when he Anally allowed up at Fremont, the city where the match wa* acheduled, we found out that wnan'l III* name at all. He really wa* Kd .Hantell, a man with a na tional reputation, who had trained llarkenachmldt when flip latter was In hi* prime. Formerly Iip hail Iippii lo cated around fliimlia, hut later lie had soup to San An tonio, Try. TIip Omaha fellows had brought him up Ironi there. I had all the confidence of youth and I wasn't feared. I na* in' splendid trim and would have been willing to lake on Frank fiotrli that day. The Omaha men opened up their poekelhooks and hrl freely, hut my farturr friends covered every dollar. Ilcgardlc** of the result of the mateli, everybody got their money's worth. There was artlon from the very start mill It never let up. Hanleir* favorite grip was a double wrist lock, a mighty dangerou* hold. Of eourae, I used the sc his ora hold. Time and again I broke the donhlp wrist loch and time ami again lip pscaned from the scissor* hold, lie Imil a slender waist anil was powerful, too. Itnl I could feel I was wealing liini down. i We had been going about 4.1 minutes, when I broke the siring of m> tights while in a scissors hold. It waa a Rood thing for my opponent, for considerable time was spent In fixing me up, and lie had a chance lo rest. lie went lo Ills comer and shouted something in Her man lo Ills followers. We didn't niideralaml ll at the lime, but were told later. "This fellow will never heat me wtlli (lie arlasora bold." he said. Ilf course Hie Omaha rrnwd Immediately stalled fresh helling, w I Hi the fanner folks morfliiE them more Ilian hall way. When we resumed, I went at him lianl. He got out of the scissors hold again, bill finally, when we had been al II an lir.ur and eight mhlllles. I combined a half Nelson with a body scissors and lie had lo give In. « 4* lie felt the effect* of that last hold considerably, al though, when he rame out tot the second fall, he seemed strong. He secured the double wrist hs I, several times, hut I always broke It. And II minutes after we started I got another body scissors hold ami a full Nelson, tying bint up with both elbows bath of Ills head Thai ended Ihr haltlr. I tool, down 75 per rent of the gate receipts and a side bet of S'.'iVO From then on I met more important oppoi^nt* tin July I of the following tear. 1*15, I won the world's championship from Charley t oiler at Omaha. The funny thing atom! it all » w that the Omaha crowd Itelie\rd Carpenter, or nlell, had laid down to me, and they made him get out of llielr < its .

These practice sessions brought tout some Interesting things In both branches of the spring sport. Kor once, South will have to depend large ly upon Its sprinters for points In the track meets. South's greatness among the weight heavers Is no more unless the boys add several feet to their throws. No one has yet heaved over the 40-foot mark In the shot put and If the old memory is working good. Kurtz and Wed berg of last season both did two or three feet better than that. Andy B^rtacini still stands without a pctr in the broad jump and is tha^e fore counted upon to add pointa in that event. The dashes with Reed, Becker. Hupp and Chidester are the big hopes for first honors and their workouts throw a good slant on affairs. The toaseballers will need an actual battle to really show them up. On the diamond in practice they look like a fast bunch of lads. However, with only Reeves and Owens to be counted on as twirlers things might go hark. Fremont Not Interested in Joining New Nebraska State Baseball Loop _ nREMONT, Neb.. April If there Is any sentiment In Fre mont In favor of joining a Mate baseball league, no one has been able to find a fan who will attempt to encourage the Idea. Despite re ports fro/n those heading the move ment for a state league, Fremont is apparently uninterested. Fremont will again have two teams in the Elkhorn Valley league, the oldest established ama teur league in the state. For the last four years this loop has func tioned to the satisfaction of all con cerned and it seems that the com ing year will be one of (he best ever. Nickerson and West Point will be replaced in the circuit this year by Sp.vder and North Rend, The other six teams are the Hubs and Sonins of Fremont, Arlington, Hooper, Rlair and Srrihner, last year's champions. l-ocal fans believe they can see as good baseball in the Flkhorn league as they would in a stale organization. Resides, they point out, they get a bigger kirk watch ing the home town hoys than they would by razzing the imported talent. Ki\ Relrhla of South Sioux City, manager of the Beatrice State league team last year, would like to manage a Fremont nine In the some circuit this year. But thus far, his support has even been lukewarm. TECH BASEBALL RESERVES TRAIN More than 50 men answered the first call Issued by Coach Hubbard, Tech High reaerva baseball coach. The reserve squad will be minus all the veterana from laat year's squad. Some of the likely prospects for the team are Hralley, Smith, Wackup, Animato and Hake, who had some experience in the Tech home rooVn baseball league last year.

Throughout the afternoon a drench ing downpour clattered down upon the stadium and the less than 2,000 spectators who braved the unfavor able weather to attend the meet. On account of a slushy track and field, this afternoon's contest w-as a comparatively slow affair. Competi tion, however, was keyed up to a high pitch and the meet turned out to be one of the most interesting ever held in the Palo Alto ovai. Locke of Nebraska was one of the Individual stars of the event. Locke won the 100 and 220-yard dashes, his double victory over Camp bell, of Stanford, being a surprise.
