there, which the Hetx team bad brought
along to help win. After the two regular
tournament games had been bowled two
matches, between Billy Martin of the

PERU'S PLACE AMONG TEAMS
Normal Players Make Good Showing
Among Nebraska Colleges.
TALK ABOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP
ome Think Neither IToane Nor Ilaat
Inars Mar Claim It Arrana-rmrnt
Proposed M'hrrebr Title May
Be Settled In Future.
FKRU, Neb., Dec. 3 (Special.) Now that
the foot hall Benson for 1310 Is over sup
porters of the normal foot ball and stu
dents of the school are looking over the
material In school now which will be eligible
for the team of 1911. Increased Interest Is
shown bpcaue of the excellent showing
made by the tenm during the season Just
past. At the beginning of the season the
men were new and Inexperienced und when
before the schedule was played out the
team tied HaMIng and Doane, the claim
ants of the state championship, more en
thusiasm was shown for the team than
ever before.
A most excellent set of men made up
the squad and every man seemed deter
mined to do his best for his team and his
school. Teamwork made the team's
Btrertgth and only the Inexperience of the
men kept victory away In many cases. The
team went Ue'Otigh the season In most ex
cellent shape. Not a serious injury or any
bad results from the strenuous work.
Only four, men of this year's team will be
lost by graduation. Captain Oelwlck, the
two ends, Stevens and Btoddard, and Right
Guard Nlppert go out this year. One other
man, KlrBch, expects to teach next year.
The two tackles. Lundy and Shaver; Quar
terback Renfro, Halfbacks Cook and Block
stone, Gofford, center, and Barnes at guard
all expect to return to school next year.
Cornell, who was Ineligible this year and
showed such excellent material for an all
around foot ball man, will be back In
school. Ills work on the reserves was
great and with him back the backfleld Is
assured of a star. Bwanson and Jones, also
of the reserves, will return.
Peru followers view the claims made for
the state championship with much' interest.
Opinions are expressed that neither Doane ,
nor Hastings can lay claim to it. It is un- j
fortunate that the game between the two
schools could not have been played be-!
fore the season ended. A post-season game
to decide a championship Is almost an Im
possibility. Interest la shown here in the
report of the organisation of the "Big
Four" In the state of Nebraska. Peru Is
for any organization or schedule which will
help to decide which teams are best. Peru
has tied for two championships In recent
years. Something Is needed . to prevent
there being so many ties, but followers of
athletics here can see no help In the 'or
ganisation of the so-called "Big Four."
The Intercollegiate Athletio association
of the state la not . so large . that the
stronger teams will not show up ' If the
schedules are made out properly. The tie
for the championship results when the
schedules of each college does not include
all the other schools. Each college goes
out of the association for too many games.
With only a few games with teams in the
association there will always occur ties.
Peru desires to stand by the Intercolleg
iate association and hopes to see each
school have more Intercollegiate games
as a means by which the tie for first hon
ors may be eliminated.
From the way the championships are di
vided since the complete organization of
the Intercollegiate Athletic association
three years ago, It appears that no school
or no set of schools. Is the stronger.
Championships have gone to the fol
lowing scnoois: in the school year
1907-08, 'foot ball, tie; basket ball, to
Wesleyan; track, to Doane; base ball,
to Waaleyan; track, to Doane; base ball,
tie. In the year, 1908-09, foot ball, tie; baa-
bet ball, Peru Normal; track, Doane; base
ball, tie. 1909-10 foot ball, tie; basket ball,
Cot ner; track, Doane; base ball, Peru Nor
mal. From the above one finds that Doane
has three championships, Peru Normal
two, and Cotner and Wesleyan one eaco.
Yale Prepares for
the Aquatic Sports
Coaches Easy Getting the Squad To
gether for the Numerous
Events.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Deo. .-Yale
coaches have been busy during the pant
few weeks getting together the aquatic
squad. Captain Btoddart - starts the sea
son with more and better material than
has ever been seen at New Haven, and
It would bo a surprise. Indeed, were any
other college able to lower the blue's
colors.
Every event on the intercollegiate list
has candidates of championship caliber.
At fifty yards Howe, the record holier,
seems to be In a class by himself; at 100
yards Stoddart has the best mark to his
credit, and at 220 yards Palmer carries the
title. Etoddart also took the fancy diving
championship last spring, and Loree, be
sides winning the plunge, created a new
standard of 72 feet 9 Inches. Each of
these men seems a probable winner In his
event, and there are splendid second string
men in Moses, McGhie, Wilson, Winslow,
Bchmitt. Devan, Andrews and Ives for the
swims, Hughes, Carey and Wilson for the
fancy diving, and Fuller for the plunge.
The addition of Karl Schmltt to Tale's
forces Is particularly welcome. Schmltt
showed himself to be one of the best all
around water-men In the league while
competing for the City College of New
York, and he has improved sufficiently to
have championship aspirations at the fur
long. ""he wster polo outlook Is not nearly so
brU'ht. and were Yale not in the habit of
doing the unexpected her chances would
hardly be considered.
The defection of Richards and Princell,
two of Yale's strongest players, from last
year's forward line, and of Captain Church
from tho back field has left the team
badly crippled. The only available vet
erans are Uotdy, prenent captain and In
tercollegiate half back of llUO; Allen,
Harper and Howe. Among the new candi
dates are several who show promise, not
ably Hodgson at forward and Fuller and
Wilaon at bock. With the exception of
Ooidy, there I not a brilliant star In the

Some time in the present week a meeting
will be called by J. M. Glllan, to reor
ganize the Omaha Athlctio association of
lost year In preparation for a second big
indoor meet The event of last year was
highly satisfactory. In every way and it Is
planned to make this second meeting even
bigger than the one of 1310.
The meeting will be called at the Com
mercial club, and at It will be various of
the big athletio men of Omaha and the
local school authorities, and also a num
ber of the men representing the colleges in
the west- Principal K. U. Graft of the
Omaha High school, Ben Cherrington of
Nebraska, J. T. Maxwell, physical director
of the Omaha Young Men's Christian as
sociation, and other of the men In Omaha
and the vicinity who would be Interested in
such an event will attend tho meeting.
Unofficial advice received from the ath
letic clubs of Chicago, Kansas City, and
from Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, . Iowa,
Michigan, Chicago and other colleges state
that teams and men from . these places
would be entered If the meet takes place.
Although the management of the Indoor
meet of last year Is to be commended on
the businesslike manner In which it was
conducted, Mr. Glllan thinks that it can
be run In a better style this season.
"We learned various tricks of the trade
and ways of saving money on unnecessary
expenses which can be used to good ad
vantage in our meet this season," he re
marked. The meet is being started much earlier
than last year, the organization not being
got together until February in 1910 and
a much more extensive production can be
made fjr 1S1L The plan of having many
more teams and a smaller number of
athletes from the different clubs and
schools appeals to many of the men back
ing the event, as it makes It an affair of
larger scope. ,

Busily Preparing

Cars and Engines of Fancy Lines and

'? j ' - - -Display.'. v " , .
NEW YORK, Dec. L Automobile manu
facturers and satellite makers are busy
preparing for the shows. On New Year's
eve j the Grand Central palace will be
thrown ope.n to the motoring public and
for a week some of the very latest gaso
line engine creations will be on view. But
New York demands more than one show,
so on January 7 another exhibition, will
open at Madison Square garden. It is the
so-called "regular show," and will close
on January 14 and commercial machines
from January 16 to 21. .
Meanwhile the manufacturers are seeing
that most alluring features are in place
on their "show cars." For January is
"buying time" and competition is keen.
Salesmen are beginning to rehearse their
patter and race drivers their most thrill
ing experiences; for prospective purchasers
who look like ready money are often re
galed with such tale.
On the other hand, the contractors who
are responsible for the decorating of the
shows are equally busy. The interior of
the palace la being made Into an Italian
garden, with the rotunda forming the
ma fa court yard. Crimson and cream are
the keynotes of the color scheme. At the
lower end of the main court yard a loggia
Is placed, with a view of a luxuriant gar
den beyond. Everywhere this garden ef
fect is carried out. Overhead a crimson
canopy, richly embroidered, takes away
the sight of rafters and structural iron
work. This canopy contains some
16,0u0 square feet of material and is as
Ingenious feature of the general decorative
plan. Openings will reveal a glimpse of
blue sky, allowing soft light to filter
through, the lights being masked so as to
produce a moonlight effect Italian inarbie
nd tiling cover all the unsightly posts,
not a square inch of the present Interior
remaining in view. A crimson carpet has
been provided for and the balconies will
be transformed into terraces, the whole
forming one of the most ambitious deco
rative plans ever attempted at an auto
mobile show.

feated George Slosson tonight In a 1,000

Hoppe went out in forty-five innings with
an average of 23 10-45, retaining tho cham

of last night, when he made a new record
average of S3 (-15. For the entire match
this dwindled to Vi 10-46, so that Ives' record
of Sl.ffi, mode fourteen year ago, fur 1.000

Indoor Base Ball
League Considered
Counoil Bluffs, Hastings and Other
Towns Are Now After
Games.
Coincident witlwthe organization of in
door base ball teams In Omaha and tJie
challenges put out by them comes the
offer of organizing an indoor baie ball
league from the Hastings Young Men's
Christian .association.
William Parker, fofmerly truancy officer
in Omaha and connected with the Omaha
Young Men's Christian association, and
now physical director at Hastings, put the
proposition before Captain Bill Bchlpke of
the Omaha team. The Idea is to Include
Hastings, Omahs, Des Moines. St. Joseph,
Lincoln. Sioux City. Council Bluffs and
perhaps one other city in the league ana
make up a schedule of one or two gomes
a week for each team to play.
Captain bchlpke, when lie received the
letter stated that although neither he nor
the other members had considered it enough
to state definitely he thought that i:
probable that some such action would be
taken.
At present, while the Idea is circulation
around, the teams of the different cities
are maklDg dates for games. Bchlpke and
his bunch of standbyes will play the Coun
cil Bluff. Young Men's Christian associa
tion team in Council Bluffs next Friday
night Council Bluffs has had a good
team for a number of years, while, of
courte, the SclUpke bunch s in need of
practice for the indoor game. As the reg
ular players of the tuntJ.a team do nut
wluh to risk spollrig thulr throwing arm
by throwing underhanded a the indoor
game roqulies for pitching. Ed CreigMw..
has agreed to be the willing goat and do
the pitching for the Biandbyes.
Bill Sohipke and Secretary George Yeo
man are considering offers of games from
Jack Thomas of Iwncoln, who has a team
lined up, and from liaxtlngs and the St.

Moran Is a bit more talkative now than

"I'd like to get at Wolgaat, of course,

"It doesn't matter to me what he gets

him and split eight-twenty or fifty-fifty,
or any other way, though.
"Nelson was all In after two rounds had

LINCOLN, Dep. 3.-Speolal.)-The work
of turning out winning foot ball, base
ball, basket ball and track teams at the
University of Nebraska has demonstrated
to thoe In charse of athletics at the Corn
hunker Institution that the training must
begin In the various high schools over
the statt and must be of such a nature as
to enlist the services of the crack ath
letes for their native state.
Especially has that been true In re
cent years. Scores of promising players la
every department of college sports, at
tracted by the glitter of eastern colleges,
forsake the state Institution. Foot ball
players refused to enter the university In
the past because eastern colleges had
taken an Interest In their work while still
enrolled In the high school. Nebraska's
coaches were robbed of the material which
should have been theirs. Omaha High
school athletes were particularly attracted
to eastern schools and for the first time
In years Omaha was represented by sev
eral promising players on the gridiron In
the season just closed. This is but m
starter, It is thought, and from now on
the foot ball talent of the state will be
devoted toward advancing the Interests of
the state university.
To this end the university authorities
have outlined a plan whereby the ath
letes will come Into closer touch with the
Comhusker Interests. The annual track
and field meet between the high schools
of the state held at Lincoln every spring
was the stepping stone. Now the athletio
board plans to hold a basket ball tourna
ment In the university armory in the early
spring.
After Illarh School Lads.
High schools In all sections of the state
will be invited to participate and It Is
thought that the winner of the tournament
can rightfully lay claim to the champion
ship of the state in basket ball. The tour
nament will last for two days as outlined
by the athletio board, starting on Friday
and closing Saturday night It will be held
either- the first or third week in March,
and Manager Earl O. Eager is asking high
schools over the state to keep this date
open so that they may participate In ths
contests.
Although the board has not received defi
nite Information as to the number of oon
testants. It Is believed that most of the
high schools In the state will avail them
selves of the opportunity to participate
and the tournament will result In the as
sembling of several hundred high school
athletes.
It la altogether probable that a small
admission will be charged for the tourna
ment, this being used to defray the ex
penses of the teams and to provide suita
ble prizes for the winners.
Manager Eager Is confident that the move
ment will be attended with success. The
Nebraska financial wizard is heartily in
favor of arousing ths interest of the high
school youth over the state and believes
that the tournament will be an effect!-;
means of doing It Other members of the
athletic board are equally confident of the
success of the meet and while the Corn
huskers believe In striot adherence to the
conference's rules regarding the seourtng
of high school men for the university, they
look with disfavor upon the loss of so
much material which rightfully should go
to Nebraska, but for the taction of many
eastern schools.
Along the same line it Is not lm ttlKsaK1sh
that the university will Interest high sohools
in a root hail tournament for the entire
season under the direction of the uni
versity. As It is the university furnishes
officials for the games whenever it Is pos
sible and the university athletio field.
Intereet is Neoeeaary,
Thu failure of Nebraska to secure promis
ing foot ball material following the depar
ture of "Bummy" Booth until the last
two years Is assigned to the lack of Interest
In high school athletics of the universtly
athletio board and other members of stu
dent body. But the board and the students
are now thoroughly alive to the possibili
ties of the situation and from now eastern
schools will encounter opposition when they
seek to lure the high school star from the
service of his own state Institution.
The aftermath of talk following ths
foot ball season discloses a healthy oon
dltlon of the Cornhusker camp. Great
credit is given to Captain Temple,' to Col
lins, to Slionka. to Owen Frank and to
Jerry Warner for th.i excellent spirit on
the team. The prediction of Captain Tem
ple that there would be no faction In
the suuad came true and all heads are
now turned toward 1911 with the sole Idea
of making It another championship seasor.
Further examination shew that Ne
braska may still retain the services of two
of the veterans in addition to the seven
men who signified their intention of re
turning. Captain Temple, Minor and Col
lins have each played the allotted three
years. Strumer will take his degree In
the engineering college, so that he will be
Ineligible to participate next fall, unless
he reconsiders his decision and decides to
postpone his graduation until a year from
February.
A like situation faced Shonka when be
was chosen captain for 1911. lit, could
securo his degree in the law department
next spring, but will add an extra semester
to Ills court in order that l.s may play
foot ball. Chauner, the clever lit tie end,
and Itathbone are in the same plight
Chauner, it 1 said, has already proinlend
to delay his graduation until In the mid
winter of It'll and Itathbone Is being op
portuned to do the tame thing.
Whoever Is called to coach the Nebraska
eleven In will find the backfleld ma
terial from the freshmen class of the high
est quality ever had at Nebraska. Except
for experience and a finer knowledge of
foot ball, It Is clulmed that the freahrrwa
backfleld was equally as strong as the
varsity in UiO. Furdy w "ii mist m
