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 . Titer
couldn't understand why lie should hate lost to a com
pa rat It ely inexperienced youngster,
1 ran tell litem, though, that Itr gate me the hardest
battle I’ve ever had. He fought like a demon all the way

South High Forced to Depend on
Sprinters in Coming Track Meets
Taking advantage of every dry field
down In the Athletic Hole, the South
High track and bnaeball experts put
In some fast practice sessions during
the week of their spring vacation.
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.
Coach Hubliard is arranging games
with the other reserve high school
Items, and games are pending with
Miaaourl Valley and Neola, la.

Ogden, Utah, April 4,—.Tack Reed of
Ogden, middleweight wrestler, wgnj
from Douglas Parks, middleweight
champion of the Taclflo coast, here
last night. Parks gained the first
fall after 13 minutes and 35 seconds
of wrestling. Reed came back fast In
the second period and after 24 minutes
and 30 seconds of tussling won the sec
ond fnll of the evening. When 14
minutes had elapsed Reed was on top
and had Parks' shoulders down for the
third fall.
The first fall wns accomplished by
an arm scissors. The second fall was
gained by a headlock, and the third
also was won by a headlock.

Time Impossible.
Ily Internal loimt New# Service.
Palo Afro, Cal., April 4.—The west
triumphed over the middle west here
this afternoon when the Cornhuskere
of the University of Nebraska went

slaught of the Stanford Cardinals in
the track and field meet between the
two universities in the Stanford
stadium. The final score was;
Stanford, 80 2-3; Nebraska, 50 1-3.
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.
At no time were the Cardinals in
danger of defeat. They got off to a
quick start and kept on piling up
points until the final gun was fired.
Stanford won the imposing array
of 10 firsts against Nebraska’s five.
The Cardinal was first in the
mile, with Smith; in tile shntput,
with Hartranft; in the javelin
throw, with Evers; in the higlt
hurdles, with I,eissner; in the 440,
with Miller: in (lie two-mile, with
Charles; in the higlt jump, with
Work; in the 880, with Rirhardson;
in the broad jump, with Meek, and
in the discuss with Hartranft.
Nebraska took firsts in th« 100
yard with Locke; in the 220 with
Locke; in the pole vault with Glea
son; in the low hurdles with Daily,
and the relay.
Hartranft was the outstanding star
for Stanford, who as usual took
firsts In the shntput and discus. ,
Both teams wore cheered to the
echo as the spectators filed out of
the rain soaked stadium.

Huskers Finish
Spring Grid Drill
T Jncoln. April 3.—Spring football
practice at the University of Ne
braska ended today as far as the
entire squad is concerned, but Coach
Bears said he hoped to keep the ends i
and back fields candidates out *for|
some time, and possible all spring for
passing and kicking drills. Some
others of the line men may also be
called out to the field two or three
times a week. The work' from now
on. however, the%coach said, will be
light, without scrimmage.
Cessation of general practice is
partly because many members of the
squad ate engaged in other branches
of athletics. Because of the short
time allowed f< r practice in the fall,
however. Coarh I’.earg is anxious to
keep as many gridiron men at their
task as possible.

Bowers' fight might he called a bat

the great corn state located across
the muddy creek and both claim the
title. Bowers comes from Des

thereabouts. Bowers and ’ Strong
fought several months ago. The bout
ended in a draw, but each though*,
he had it on the other. There Isn't
a whole lot of friendly feeling among
the two.

scheduled for eight rounds.
This Rand person is said to he
somewhat of a socker. ’Turley"

The "Advo Kid" is one of the most
promising fighters in the state. He
Is clever _and can hit. Grogan also
