ffew York' bowlers have decMed to enter
the national championship tournament ' to
tx held at Cleveland In. February. This Is
regarded aa the first step toward a re
conciliation between the eastern and west
ern men, and In all probability the Cleve
land carnival will be something of a love
leant. Thla la a matter of considerable Im
portance to the bowling Interests of the
United States. The American Bowling
Congress, which is the national organiza
tion, haa plenty of trouble on lt hands
Ince the 'split' occured two years ago.
Since that time there has been nothing
but discord and both sides will welcome
heartily anything which looks like a step
toward reconciliation. The main trouble
aeemed to be the fact that after having
Quarreled like ,a lot of school boys, each
Ida to the controversy chose to stand on
Its dignity .rather than make any admis
sions of curpablllty. In view of these con
dition the angel of peace took a long
Journey Into parts unknown, but now that
he la known to be hovering near. It Is re
garded aa a good time to shake hands
and klsa each other and agree nevermore
to quarrel.
I
The loaded ball and other seemingly In
finitesimal things have been matters of
contention, but the real seat of the trouble
Jar In the fact that each, side wanted to
boss. It waa asserted by the westerners
two years ago that the eastern contingent
wanted to run the 'whole show and that
they seemed inclined to pass up the west
ern element altogether. The west seemed
t be at a disadvantage ' In the beginning
but by segregating- its forces, It was noon
found that it waa the big cat In the fight
and the eastern element then chose to
ever all connections with the congress
and since that time the angel of peace has
teea conspicuous only by his absence.
The Cleveland people are making big
orta toward making their tournament a

la must have had a viae head who Inter
vened la this matter.
Looking back upon paat conditions now,
la view of what haa Just happened. It can
be seen that ail that was wanted was some
body to take the Initiative and bring the
'warring elements together. Each side to
the controversy waa standing on its dig
titty and when someont stepped in as a'
tnediator. It was then seen that there was
tiothing else much In the controversy but
dignity and that there really had been
little ground In the beginning for anything
resembling a scrap. This lends color and
strength to the belief that when the east
ern and western bowlers have finished their
tournament at Cleveland, they will go out,
arm La arm, and have something.
And then when they get up to a certain
city In the north which waa made famous
Toy a certain brand of boer, they will have
something else In 1906, ae the Mllwaukeeltos
axe confidently looking forward to the na
tional championship tournament of 1906 as
their very own. Members of the American
Bowling congress directory have placed
themselves on record as. favoring Mil
waukee, and as far aa human forethought
can tell. It seems more than a probability
that the city of the north and of gentle
breezes will "secure the plum. And then It
will be up to the visiting bowlers to put
on their "hospitality" clothes for the Mil
waukee! tea pride themselves on their ability
to call forth the beat there Is In a man's
social nature. With this thought In mind.
It Is certain that many bowlers throughout
the country will visit Milwaukee to verify
their oft-repeetad wishes and to verify for
a certainty the stories they have often
All of which will be a matter of some
Interest to local bowlers, especially in view
of the fact that none of them contemplate
visiting the Cleveland tournament. They
claim it Is too far away for them to make
the trip to advantage. Many of them are
locking forward to the trip to Milwaukee,
however, with much Interest. They have
expressed the desire to make this trip and
unless something unforeseen should hap
pen, It seems certain that a goodly delega
tion from this city will be among the list
of delegates to the 1906 tourney at Milwaukee.

the situation the hitch school authorities
deemed some kind of action a steoessltjr
and seems to have found It In the recent
charges to the effect that the university
athletes are not much when It comes to
scholarship, that many of them should
still be In the high schools, and that If they
were In the hlah schools even then they
would not be able to make their studies.
These charges have been sufficiently Inter
esting-, even more than that have they been
startling, to call forth a storm of protest
which promises to bear fruit and If it will
serve the purpose of clearing the atmos
phere somewhat the patrons of the schools
and universities will perhaps witness
solution of some things which have long
puxzled them.
In the first place It Is a well known tact
that foot ball has a good many things to
answer for. First, there Is the charge of
brutality and other things of a similar
nature. But the university authorities
claim that it Is In their province not so
much to deal with this phase of the ques
tion as with that of eligibility for scholar
ship and university standing. And the
high schools have not been slow to take
advantage of the opening thus afforded.
It seems to have been an Incident of sug
gestion, but the present agitation of the
question would seem to promise history
sufficiently Interesting to cause the univer

Games Enough to Hake I'p
Season.
A game of basket ball between the Omaha
Young Men's Christian association and the
Sioux City Giants has been scheduled for
January 8. The game will be played at
Omaha, and was arranged on the condition
that a return game be played in Sioux City.
These teams have met before, and each
time there has been a battle royal, and the
Sioux City players, on their own confee
slon, are inspired with great respect for the
mighty renown of the local team. In the
past the honors have fallen to the Omaha
players somewhat oXtener than to Its op
ponents, though the locals have come far
as scholars. And that Is tho only phase of
the question which is worthy of considera
tion in view of the premises which have
been enunciated by the high school au
thorities. It Is claimed that when an ath
lete enters a university, his whole soul Is
oftoner centered on his prowess as an ath
lete than upon his studies, and that this
love of two mistresses cannot work to the
good of the athlete, and neither can it be
greatly beneficial or helpful to the univer
sity.
The high schools, in the opinion of the
universities, have overreached themselves.
The universities resent the charge that
they have entered the high schools like a

I am 33 years old and have'been a nurse girl since I was 13 years old. In tho lat

the universities could be substantiated, then
the high schools claim they woukl be open

claim in the next breath that the charges
which they have placed at the door of the

instances.
That would seem to be a pretty broad

these thoughts In mind the locals will pre
pare for Its next battle with the Sioux ag
gregation with much of uncertainty as to
the outcome.
That the Omaha Toung Men's Christian
association basket ball team is composed
of first-class timber is evidenced by ther
fact that it defeated the fast Haskell In
dlan bunch last year, and has done the
same thing to other basket ball teams.
Much consistent practice work haa been
done at the Toung Men's Christian asso
elation during the past month In the ef
fort to strengthen the team and get it In
condition for some warm games this winter.
And while the practice has been con
slstent and somewhat satisfactory, yet the
adequate number of games to make up
the season's schedule are not forthcoming.
This is due to a general apathy on the part
of the outside teams, and to the fact that
none of them are disposed to do what is
termed the right thing. By this it Is
meant that they are willing to come to this
city to play on a guarantee which the local
management knows It can safely assure the
visitors, but when It comes to talking about The Omaha country club has named J,

and make-up he wcuid be able to stand It
for some time to come. There Isn't a
golfer throughout the length and breadth
of the United States with whom the writer
has talked but vhat has it "In" for Travis.
No reason Is assigned by many of these
for their antipathy, except that they in
some unknown way have gotten next to
some other golfer who has talked to some
other golfer who has talked to some other
golfer, and thus It has gone the rounds,
until It would seem that Travis would be
crying out for some kind of relief.
But he still goes around, the same old

not surely make much difference to the
people who are running the basket ball
teams. Tho Toung Men's Christian asso

around the country and there must be
some good reason for Its Inability to get a

the local aggregation Is, of course, a mat

assume that no such thing as fear enters
but there seems to be no desire to make the
selection at this time.
February 11 Is the date agreed upon for
the annual meeting of the United States
Golf association In New Tork. There will
be an election of officers, which Is saying
a good deal, in view of the fact that there
is a great contest on. The nominating

and appreciative audience greeted the
Toung Men's Christian association boys
and Its friends and made them feel that, not
only was the institution of which they are
members appreciated, but that they were
personally appreciated. They were given
the glad hand of comradeship by nearly
3,000 visitors. During the day the reading
rooms and every other quarter of the
building was crowded by a host of friends
who had come up to let the members of
the association know that they esteemed It
a power for good and that they were willing
to continue to contribute to Its support and
to lend It their presence In the furtherance
of Its designs for the betterment of the
city. The final event of the day was an
athletic exhibition, which was enjoyed by a
large number of friends and visitors.

If It Isn't one thing It's another. And
this time It Is a war of words between the
universities and the high schools, ths claim
having been made by those who are re
sponsible for the high schools that many of
the leading athletes who are in the uni
versities could not make the high school
requirements and that they could not pass
the required grade. This seems to be a
terrible and un-thought-of eharge. In the
eyes of the big universities, and they have
answered caustically and seemingly with
little regard to the proprieties. The charge
is certainly broad enough and also suffl
clently startling. If substantiated, to work
a radical change, not only In the doings
at the universities, but In publlo sentiment
as well.
The steps leading up to the charge have
been numerous, but have taken a certain
well denned course. The charge was made
some time since that the universities had
their agents In various parts of the west
visiting the leading high school athletes
with the end In view of enlisting these
sthletes in the university in whom they
were Interested. It was also shown that

battle of the giants. Nothing Is known as

which, by common consent, are left to
the western member of the nominating
committee to nil. The announcement comes
from New Tork. however, that unbounded
confidence Is had in Mr. Llttlejohn to do
the tight thing. The eastern members of
the nominating committee have a high re
gard for the Glen View man's Judgment
and admit that had the man suggested
for the executive board of the association
himself found It convenient to accept the
place the western member might have In
troduced a compromise leader for presi
dent whose power in golf would have re
ceived the praise of both western and east
ern men prominent in the affairs of the
United States Golf association. In
guarded way It Is said that the changes In
the personnel of the United States Golf
association list of officers for the year 1904
will be surprises even to the close personal
friends of the members of the nominating
committee.

Chicago, It played two ex-members of pro
fessional base bill teams, but the colleges
of that section, having no complaisant con
ference committee, and real rea-ard for
the wholesomeneas of their sport, severed
relations with unclean Nebraska. It is
not so long ago that all in this section
were tarred with the same brush, but
there has been earnest work by friends of
honest sport at Kansas, Iowa, Missouri
and as a result the atmosphere has cleared
largely.
Fortunately for Nebraska, It Is not fatal
to fall under the ban of Mr. Whitney's dis
approval. - It hasn't been such a very long
time since that eminent authority, even If
self -constituted, could see no foot ball I
team west of Philadelphia, and when It
did come to pass that he admitted that the !
game was practiced with some skill and
not a little success on this side of the
Alleghanles, he solved the problem by put
ting all western teams on his Index ex
purgatorlus. One by one they have been
pronounced unclean, and yet each has sur
vived the anathema of this paragon of
personal purity aa applied to amateur
sports. In this reflection Nebraska may
rest secure, content with the knowledge
that she has won a position In a glorious
company, for with her sit Chicago, Michi
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Northwestern
and other schools with whom It Is no dis
grace to be associated.
Still, one wonders where Mr. Whitney
gets his information, and cannot help con
cluding that If the table he has prepared
Is based on no more accurate Information
than he seems to possess concerning the
Corn Huskers, that It is worthless for any
other purpose than to show the bent his
absurd prejudice is taking this year. Kan
sas alone made a complaint against Ne
braska, and that complaint was withdrawn
on the presentation of an explanation that
was accepted by Kansas as being satis
factory. Both Kansas and Iowa have a
cuiiuw.-i wim neonuuu tor at least one
more year, and none of the other schools
with which Nebraska has maintained re
lations recently have Indicated any inten
tion of changing their arrangement. Ne
