To pTorw thla. It Js only cecaseary to
open again the history of the game and,
go over the records. In 1WH Kanlon, Mr
Grew, Jennings, and Robinson put together
th Baltimore machine, which won for four
consecutive year. The next two seasons
Frank SeJe took the title with the Boston
dub. In 1 H anion led the Brooklyn team
to victory. The three fol. owing seasons saw
Pittsburg triumph under the leadership of
Fred Clarke, who is still In command. v

CHICAGO, Dec 1ft Ad Wolgast la talk
ing favorably about the proposed Maran
Wolgast bo'-t- He believes that Moran
would be a fine drawing card since the
Englishman defeated Nelson, and Wolgast
also says that the international aspect of
the match would help the gate receipta
Apparently the lightweight champion has
been doing some thinking on his farm. He
is quoted with some interesting oplniona
In the first place Wolf art say that he
would never meet Moran In England, be
cause the London fight fan would have
no use for his style of work. They are
good fellows." say th champion, ""but
they have different Idea about the game
over there and my method would not be
liked."
In speaking of Moran himself Wolgast
iaya: "He is the roughest and toughest
clever fighter I have ever seen. His repu
tation a a rcugh man in the ring Is grow
ing every cay. Moran boxes much like Abe
Ajpeil. rtarcdsng straight much of the
time. Aa aa infighter he Is clever, but 1
think that I hav considerably the beat of.
him In that department. His dean Job at
taking Nelson under hia wing has made
Moran popular, and w should draw a
much better gate than another bout be
tween Nelson and myself."
Wolgast ha been taking good car of him
self on hia Cadillac farm, spending oonaid
erabl time on horseback and In training
Quarters. Wolgast Is still nursing th arm
which ha Injured ta Milwaukee. "Tn. some
respecta." says th chan pi on, "the Injury
did me much good. I have beea forced to
use th other arm almost exclusively In

creased Immensely."
Wolgast Is dosing up his business af

placing his farm and sheep ranch In the
hands of his parents and other reliable

he desires that everything be clost-d. aa far

quests with the staterrent that a soon a
Nebraska could offer a rod Cell th man
agement would agree to a gam to bw
played In Lincoln.

Tbe athletic board now haa deflnlt
urance the new pri CLron will be aodded
next rummer. Because cf a deficit tha
work could rot t eone !n 13, but th sue
oefs cf tt Corr.hus'.eri Jn lHO effaoed tha
deficit and th rcp-jrl of Manager Eager
will now rhow that Nebraska I la ex
cellent financial condition. Th new sod
field will be ready upon the opening of tha
season next fall and th Urn 1 new rtpa
for Eager to roan another attcipt to
land a rare with the Gopher to kv 'tared
in Lincoln.
It 1 certain t3-.at stich a cast would
prow a drawing card and a boost to Ccro
fcuaker Onancea Th outcomo of that
nearotlatlona with Minnesota will probably
be announced within the next few daya.
A largo number cf tl. Cornhuskera in
terpreted tha ruling cf the Big Eight oonv
fereno at Chicago aa prohibiting game
with outsld Institutions. Th ruling waa
aimed aoleily at Minnoeota and may operate
a a boost for Nehraaka la securing games
with either Wlsccnsta, Chloago or IlUnola.
Owing ta tha pro.iajoa of th Mlssoort
valley conference that 00 Thanksglvlnar
game shall be played Eager, must arranga
for at least two big outside game to make
th year financially saf for th Corn
huskera. Without th Thanksgiving ' day
game a big hoi will be left la th ex
chequer. Eager hopes to male thla up
with an extra gam with a Big Eight con
fereno team. Lllnol 1 regarded aa a
Ukely contestant with the Cornhuskera. Net
many year age the C cm? Duikers played
Illinoia annually, but after th contract
expired It was not renewed.
Manager Eager will again endeavor to
land Illinoia K ansae and Acne both, win
occupy a place oa, th Cornhuskera ached
uie, Wsat Taaafcastvtaa Gflsae.
Th Jayhawker come to Lincoln under
th agreement entered into two year ago.
If foot ban devotee hav their way and
tf the ruling of the Missouri valley eon
fereaea abolishing Thank agivina; day game
be set aaid. It I nit Improbable that Ne
braska will play th Jayhawker oa Turkey
day. Mlasouri does not rare to play th
annual Kansas and Ml H gam on
Thanksgiving day la any other eSty but
Kan City. The regent of the University
of Kan rat hav long beea opposed to th
game at Ksnsas CKy and a ruling was
passed doing away with tha turkey day
battle in that city after ISia.
It waa thought that th rula could be act
aside, but th Kac is authoiitiea ar firm
and th gam. If played at all. must b
plaved ia axtother ciiy.
Then there I th oonlerence role doing
away with th game, but this must he
voted oa again and from tha ctand which
ha beea taken recently It 1 doubtful if
any of tbe schools will favor the paaeag
of th rule. Thi condition of affair lead
both Nebravhan and Kanaana to - hop
that tbe two oig rivals of th Miasourl
valley may again meet la a battle for
championship honor on Thanksgiving day.
Th agreement with Ame call for a cos
iest to be played at Amea Denver probably
will be aocorded a place on the Cornhuaker
fchedule, although . the retirement of
Deacon Kohltr from the management of
affairs may lead to a spilt la athletic rela
tions Kowhler waa an old Nebraska player
nd It was thrxugh his remarkaol aisceea
sa a coach that the Comhuakers finally
consented to play Denver. . The lighter
games of the year are eitw probably as
sured with Peru or some other member of
the Nebraska association of colleges for
the opener and Doane or bellevue later ia
th aeaaon.
The coachship problem Is a far from
settlement aa It ever was. The foot bail
corncii tie and th all- car coach commit
to of th athletic board have been work
ing tn conjunction with the board, but
hav no Uang to announce aa to future ac

Until the meeting of the Board of Re

board will a;-plUatioa to th Board
