A rumor was afloat Monday at the Omaha
High school that Edward Uurrtlck would
coach tha basket ball team next season.
Nothing definite could be gained from any
of the members of Ihe basket ball team,
hut all expressed their wish that Bur
dick could coach tha team next year, and
alio for tha remainder of the present
reason. - .
Burdick la wall known to all high achool
ctudenta, having completed his career at
tha school last spring. Burdick, since en
taring the school five 'years ago. was al
ways Interested In all kind of school sport,
and was generally regarded by his class
mates as being one of the best all-around
athletes wno ever graduated from the
school. He was a member of the track
team for four years and also on the bas
ket ball team for that number of years.
In hi third year, ha proved himself to be
a sturdy guard on the foot ball team. In
his fourth year Burdick sustained a severe
fracture of the knee, caused by playing
basket ball, and was Incapacitated from
entering In athletics for the remainder of
the season.' - v
Burdick knows every trick In the gams
snd would make an excellent coach. Asked
whether or not he would hold down the
position of the roach for next year he re
plied that he was not sure, but sincerely
hoped so. Since only a small number of
tha basket ball squad will graduate this
year, tha team for next year should sur
pass all the basket ball teams that the
high school has ever turned out, for many
of the undergraduates will probably make
tha team next year, who are equally as
good players as those on the team this sea
son. :
Finances of Tram.

team, Issued a report of the financial stand
ing of tha team so far this season.

High School Track
Squad Begins Its
Spring Training
It Preparing for the All-Omaha Meet
to Be Held Here Satur
day Right.
For the ell Omaha meet, which Is to be
hrld In Omaha on March 4. the Omaha HlKh
school will be represented by a utisd of
abcut ten. Regular jrsctlce for the track
work for this season will begin Monday at
the school campus. This will be the first
time that the athletes who will enter the
meet have had an opportunity to practice
outside owing to the cold weather of the
lust two weeks. Practice at the Young
Men's Christian association has been going
on . for several weeks, however, and sev
eial of the short distance .runners . have
teen .practicing , short sprints. Robert
Wood, captain of the Omaha team for this
season has been legalnlng his form and
speed before tha outside practice starts.
Bouse and Jenks, two lads who. will com
prise part of the relay team, have also been
practicing.
It Is the Intention of R. If. Cams, athletic
coach of the h!h school, to enter about as
many aa the local Young. Men's Christian
assoclstlon will have, as In 'tills way he can
form an estimate who will be the rhot
favorable candidates for "entries in the big
Omaha .Athletic association meet April L
Wood, Rowley, Jenks, Millard and Drcxel,
all 100-yard runners, will 'try Yjtit for the
twenty-yard dash. Of this number, Wood,
Millard and Rowley will likely be chosen,
ns they have the lowexi .Aim on the 100-
yard dash. For the quarter mile run, Albert
Cahn,' manager of the" BanKeC ball team
will enter. Cahn In the clas Itisst of last
year, finished In good time and will prob
ably take a place in this event. Wood,
Rouse and Millard will perhaps be tried
out for the 220-yard dach.- Weod has tha
school record for tha 220-ytrrd dash, and
has raptured several places In various state
meets.
Harold .Andrus,- Malcolm JtaldrlKe and
Andrew Dow, the three heav( members of
the. squad, will probably enter for tha
weights. Andrus attained splendid record
for throwing the hammer last spring and
also Dow. Tha Omaha High achool squad
will be greatly weakened in tha weights
this year, as several star-, athletes in this
line graduated last spring. Burdick gained
quite a reputation in putting the shot end
placed the high school in favorable light
In the various meets because.f this. How
ever, there Is a good squad of husky can
didates who will try out vfor the hammer
throw and shot puts and. the Omaha High
school will no doubt ba.wrH represented
along this line of track wor. ... ,
In the high jump Vereil. Rector as well
as Millard and Rouse will represent Omaht.
Rector's record for this event last spring
v.as 10 feet 2 Inches, which is the school
record. In the state meet he succeeded In
getting second place., .and , will probably
eclipse this record this season.
A splendid relay teaiu-a. developed last
year, conwlstlng of . Wogdj. Rouse, Millnrd
and Rowley. This team, captured first place
In the Trl-Olty meet Jiehl. last May and
also gained p. place lni,4he,.-aat mept. M
of the ads who composed this team are In.
Bchool and wj)l likely rr.ke the team this,
yeorw WJth' consistent pi.acUce. ,ti week
the high school's relay tearrj should at least
secure third, place. .. .. . . .
With tha star athletes composing the
teams of the Council f lifffs, Toong. Men's
Christian association teams and also the
local Young Men's .Christian association
team, the Oiiwlia High school has a hard
change to obtain a "place, ' but ' with ' the
roml!ng niutcrlal In' ht tho Omaha
High school candidates will no doubt prove
their value In track work. ' - '

The club Is making great arrangements

"Let Iowa Oo," Says
the Daily -Nebraskan
College Paper Which Voices Sudents'
. Sentiment Has Its Lit
tle Say.
"Iet 'Baby Iowa go and wa will be rid
of that nursing Job."
In these plain meaning words, breathing
the sentiment of the student body, the
Dally Nebraskan, official dally publication
of Nebraska university, announces Its
stand In favor of Iowa's withdrawal from
the Missouri valley conference.
For the last month similar expressions
have been forthcoming from college and
oity papers In this section of tha country,
showing clearly the unanlmoua belief is
that the Hawkeyes cannot handle two
Irons in tha same fire without getting
burned.
The editorial in The Nebraskan ' from
which the foregoing virulent utterance was
extracted follows; '.v.:r..
yiwa students 4nslt that'Thelr Institu
tion should drop out of tha Missouri Valley
conference. This should not cause any ex
cltement among the other , valley teams.
Tha withdrawal of Iowa should rather be
hailed with delight. Although Its prowess
on the athletic field has never been terri
fying In the least. Its mightiness In the
council chamber has been felt. It was Iowa
who insisted on many of the bylaws that
have been more detrimental than beneficial.
It hus made the rules of the, Missouri Val
ley conference conform to those of the
Chicago conference In order that it might
belong to both. Trying to serve both mas
ters It found Itself in a bad plight and
now must choose one or the other. Let
Baby' Iowa go and we will be rid of that
nursing Job."

NEW YORK. Feb. T.-Federal author
ities and local police aliks actively Inter
ested themselves today In the search for
Jewelry stolen from a cabinet drawer In
the state room of Mrs. Maldwin Drum
mond, formerly Mrs. Marshall Field. Jr.,
of Chicago, on the liner Amerlka some
time during Saturday night.
Mrs. Drummond estimates the money
value of the purloined stones at 1110,000,
but considers them worth far In excess
of that sum to her personally, because of
the unique character of the missing ar
ticles, which Include three strings of white
pearls, 283 In number, earrings of black
pearls, surrounded by mora than eighty
diamonds; black pearl and white pearl
rings and a shield-shaped brooch of black
and pink pearls surrounded by diamonds
with a large spherical' black pearl pendant
Mr. and Mrs. Drummond bad intended to
proceed today to Chicago, but Instead,
Mrs. Drummond said, the loss of the Jewels
had changed their plana and they expected
to remain here for several days to aid
In tha search for tha gems.
Hearch to lie Kxteaded.
Tha police have complete descriptions ot
tha various pieces and pawn shops will
be watched. Besides this, It Is planned to
extend the search- to all parts of tha coun
try If trace of the geiia Is not found here.
Search of the steameV failed to reveal a
clua to the Jewels or tha Identity of the
person who took them. If the gems were
carried off the ship, tha method Is as much
of a mystery as tha robbery Itself and
must, detectives say, have been accom
plished by a most adroit smuggler. It Is
possible tha valuables are coacealed in

PURELY VEGETABLE
TEE OHE SAFE ELQ2D REMEDY

that medicines taken from the botan
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed of
ctrcng mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., a blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatebt of all blood puri
fiers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. It -is
perfectly reliable f.nd safe for children;
and little ones wiio have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S.S. is unequalled as a
tonic; it invigorates every portion of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any derangement of the stomach,
and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
i than to take S. S. S. It has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
