BASKET BALL FIVE ON TOUR
Nebraska Flayer Are in Poor Shape
for Iowa Games.
AMES WILL PROBABLY WIN OUT

Be Critical for Cornhnaker
Players Mta Are
Crippled.
LINCOLN. Feb. S.-(Specln1.)-Cr ppled
e badly that defeat at the hand of Amu
seems a! meet certain, the Cornhusker ban
ket ball crew departed from Lincoln thin
Afternoon for Dea Moines and Amea to
play the final four games In the northern
Melon of the Mlseoarl Valley Champion
ship league. Wllber Wood, the Oolord
guard, who did aurh aenaatlonal work In
the other iramea of the title aerlea, and E.
Ingersol, speedy forward, did not accom
pany the five. These two players took
part la all ths games 'of the season and
played exoellent ball against Ka.au a and
Ames.
In the two Ames games on the Nebraska
floor last month Wood featured In dribbling
play, and really won ths contests for the
Cornhuskers. Ills absence from the lineup
makes It seem certain that the Cornhuskers
will not triumph over Ames. ' His place
will be taken by Jones, a speedy Individual,
but one who Is far from being In Wood's
class. Ingersol's position will be filled by
C. Amber son, who Is fast, but new to the
game. He will fill the port t ton with nearly
as much ability and strength as In gar-sol.
bad during the first games of the winter.
stem eat the Trip.
Manager Earl Eager was In charge of
the Cornhusker pnrty, which included
eight players, as follows: Captain Perry,
forward; Petrasek, center; Hutchinson, for
ward; Jones, guard; Amberson, guard;
Schmidt, forward; Hlltner, center and
guard; Gibson, center and guard. The first
game , of the trip will take place at Des
Moines tomorrow night, with Drake. A
second game will be played wfth the team
on Thursday night. Then the Cornhuskers
will proceed to Amee, where the Aggies
will be encountered for two days.
Even with a crippled lineup, the Ne
braska five hopes to win from Drake. The
Des Moines players visited Lincoln a eek"
ago and were found to be easy prey. The
CornhuRkera will bo at considerable disad
vantage In playing on a foreign floor, but
even with this handicap they are counted
upon to win.
An entirely different reception Is looked
for at Ames, however, and the Cornhuskers
are doped to lose two-games there. Ames
has a strong quintet, and nearly defeated
the Nebraska five In Lincoln a few weeks
go. Playing on their home floor, they
will probably have 'an easy time w ith the
Cornhuskers.
In order to clinch the premier honors In
ths northern section of the league, the
Cornhuskers must win both games from
Drake and spilt the series of two with
Ames. The Aggies are so strong that they
will undoubtedly win four straight from
Drake. Should they get two from Ne
braska, and at the same time should the
Cornhuskers loss one to Drake, the chances
would be that Ames would get the northern
honors.
Nebraska now has four games to Us
credit; Ames, by defeating Drake In the
series between those -schools, will have
four In Its favor; and two more from Ne
braska would give It six of the eight games
in ths series. In order to equal this record
Nebraska would have to take both games
from Drake, which event would give It
six won and two loat, and place It tied
with Ames. A single defeat at the hands
of Drake may' cost the Cornhuskers the
championship; and they are set, for that
reason, or defeating the Des Moines play
ers In both of the games this week. Two
games over Drake and one over Amea will
clinch the championship for Nebraska.

all gone from face and glands and am
free from pain. Tour treatment gave me

Preliminaries.

he was In town and while he didn't win
the world's championship away from the
Inwa farmer, did Indicate that he had some
wrestling skill.

at the Auditorium Thursday night when
Jess Weetergaard and Raoul de Rouen mert
for the first time In a finish, catch-as-catch-can
wrestle. In the preliminaries
Herr Hokuf will undertake to pin to ths
mat In one hour three of his honorable
contemporaries na-.nely. Jack Meyers, Jack
Grando and C. Luther Grove. The last
named gentleman, despite his florid cog
nomen, Is not a student of literature, nor
yet of the ethics of parlor conduct, no
matter If he does part his name In the
middle. C. Luther Is a wrestler and they
say a hot one at that. At any rate, while
It Is commendable in any man to set his
mark high, BUI IIol;uf has cut out a mighty
big night's work for himself, one which If
he accomplishes, will distinguish him as
some grappler. '
Manager Glllan of the, Auditorium be
lieves and perhaps not without Justifica
tion that these preliminaries will bs ths
moFt interesting of the season. Jack Meyers
is the fellow who undertook to throw
young Bchwager of Calhoun a couple of
weeks ago twice In an hour and Grando
Is said to be as good as Meyers. Hokuf
Is much larger than any of these men and
of powerful build. Gotch predicts great
things for him some day.
Westergaard had been delayed In reach
ing Omaha, but will be In ahead of the
mighty Frenchman. Of all the matches
that have been held at the Auditorium In
ths last three years this one has more
animus In It than any. The men are very
sore at each other and are sure to put up
a red hot tug-of-war.
GOOD " l'ROSPECTS- OP LEAGUE

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Feb. 8 (Spe

asts of the various Nebraska cities indicate
that at leant a six-club league can be
formed, Including at least three of the
larger cities of the state not represented
In the Westein league. Delegates will be
present from Fremont, Hastings, Grand
Island, Superior, Rod Cloud and S?ward.
Granting that the matter of forfeit such
as would Insure continuance throughout the
season can satisfactorily be made as to all
of these, there would be four teams In
the central and two In the eastern part of
the state. Mr. Palmer of Fremont, however,
will endeavor to secure the attendance of
delegates from Columbus or South Omaha,
In order that there will be three towns with
Sunday ball. Falrbury Is also a possibility,
though nothing has so far been heard from
that team.
One more western town Kearney, the
Only good western point showing a back

to base ball In that city In the last few
days. If South Omaha enters It will be
with the understanding that dates are not
to conflict with the Western league datea
at Omaha and that It will be In a spirit of
co-operation with the Western league
rather than otherwise. Hastings has al
ready proceeded to local organization, as
has Grand Island.
It Is expected that a draft of the consti
tution will be made end agreed upon at
this meeting and that a. commttee "on

'FOUNDERS' DAY" BANQUET
Edward and John A. Creighton
Honored by Publio Men.
GOVERNOR AND STAFF ATTEND
Patrick II.- O'Donnell, Leading Chi
cs a-o Lawyer, Makes Aaaesa
Alms of College are
. Set Forth.
Charity In the broadest, the most prse-
tle.-i! and the most universal ense was
the underlying motive of Edward and John
A. Crelghton In founding Crelghton unl
veslly. Speakers at the "Founders' day"
banquet In the -Rome hotel last n'ght em
phasised the thought and amplified the
theme as they told of the achievements of
the Institution and made prophesies of Its
fult.re. '
Over 200 persona assembled to celebrate
the occasion, professors of the Institution,
those 'who had begun or are beginning their
careers In the world and who came to pay
respect to then- alma mater, business men
who tcAllie the value of the foundation,
and the governor of the state, who by his
fresence lent official prestige to the pro
ceedings and acknowledged that the educa
tlinal work of the university Is not con
fined to the city of Omaha, but Is state
wide and Is hiving Its Influence In forming
the character of the west.
Toastmitster James P. Kngllsh, In Intro
duclng the speakers of ths evening, Gov
ernor Shallenberger and Patrick H. O'Don
nell of Chicago, said tte Crelghton brothers
belltved In the Christian doctrine of the
brotherhood of man, and It was In that
belief they had founded the Institutions
that had cast luster upon their names.
Deserving; Welcome.
"In this city," said he, "the monuments
to their memory are substantial and endur
lrg and the doors of those Institutions are
open to the deserving without regard to
race or creed."
"Every year," Raid Mr. English, "a small
ariry of young men leave the walla of ths
university to spread Its lesrnlng throughout
the west and to help In upbuilding the
race." '
The toastmaster paid a high compliment
to the professional staff of the university
and said the character of . the assembly
that had met to do honor to the founders
showed the cordial relations that had and
did subsist between the professors and the
students.
Not a Caste of Money.
Governor A. C. Shallenberger, speaking of
the cost of education to the stale, con
trasted what th Crelghton brothers had
done In this respect for the country.
"They did not," he sajd, "believe In
founding the caste of money, but In doing
something that would be for the benefit
of the country as a whole and would keep
their names ever before the minds of their
countrymen as promoters of what was for
the good of the comon country."
"The great problem of the future will be
the equal adjustment of conditions be
tween capital and .labor. That question
will be settled In the west, and
to have It properly settled we must
have an educated community. When we
think of this, we must realise the value
of what the Crelghton brothers have done
in founding the university.
"In the great inarch of American prog
ress these great Institutions founded by
Edward and John .A. Crelghton shall be
potent factors."
Larvyee's View.
., Patrick H. O'Donnell, speaking to the
toast of "Good Government," said the
problems of the cities of the country were
beln fought.dut' in the city of Chicago
which had as' Its papulation representatives
of all the: races that go to make up the
modern American people. Mr. O'Donnell
said that everywhere was there evidence
of the value of education, in guiding the
acts of the country's citizens and he be
lieved It ' would eventually bring about a
right solution of vexed questions.
The speaker being a prominent member
of the Illinois bar, and one of the profes
sors of the Lincoln law school, spoke of
governmental advance from a Judicial
viewpoint His connection with an Insti

to the attorney general to take the duties
of the chairmanship of the committee.

the services of Mr. Ellis in the Department
of Justice, where he is engaged In import
ant work, but as Mr. Ellis was willing to
make the sacrifice the president did not
feel that be could Insist on retaining him."
It was stated at the White House tonight
that Mr. Ellis, despite his resignation, will
continue to represent the government In Its
prosecution of the beef trust.

and la so thoroughly Identified wHh the at

says he wants tt clearly understood that

"desires or expects to be a candidate for

have be used for or against any candidate
for a republican nomination in Ohio, and I
have no doubt such nomination will express
the fair, free choice of the republicans of
