Class 31 will be composod of bowlers between 10 and 175 averages, Class C will bo composed of bowlers under 160, Bowlers playing li more than ono league will have to enter under their highest average, This will give all bowlers a chance win. Tho old time handicap system not satisfactory nnd tho members ot the tournament committee feel that they hava taken the right course In adopting the class system.

This Is the way an automobile manu facturer tested tiros recently to determine what mako ho would use for 1913: A framework was erected on which was mounted a front axlo carrying a wheel and tiro. A lever pressed down upon the axle with a weight of 700 pounds. Rea sonable spring action waa provided. At tho bottom the tiro rested on a pulloy to which were bolted, at Irregular Inter vals, blocks of wood two Inches high. The apparatus was attached to a motor which ran the pulley ot a rato equivalent to 115 miles an hour for the wheel and tire. Each tire was inflated to the press ure claimed for best results! odometer and speedometer were attached; pressure gauges, thermometers and charts were prepared, and tho power was switched on, Every ono of the tires showed wonder ful endurance. Each of the five went through Its respective first twcnty-fouii hours without suffering a notable lessen ing ot pressure, or showing signs of serious wear. Each of thorn also survived tho second twenty-four hours, though all showed signs of wear, and. In two, the fabric had begun to appear. Tho first tire tested lasted out the third twenty-four hours, although when this period was passed Its rubber tread was almost entirely worn out. In Its seventy-third hour of running It exploded wth a bang which awakened the entire neighborhood and nearly caused a riot call. The winning tire withstood the test for eighty-one hours and twenty minutes. Now York Times. I l.tueun Made. Ilnhlllzel. Riran.

The Cornhuskers hnvo a newcomer on tha schedule this season with a game with the Sacred Heart five at Racine, Wis. Sacred Heart has held the collegiate champion ship In Wisconsin for a number ot sea oons and la regarded as one of the best fives in that section of tho country. Following Is tho schedule which Stlehra announced today: January 11 Cotner university at Lin coln. January 18 Wesleyan university at LlrN coin.

The eight games 'with Drake and Ames are championship contests and will go to wards determining tho champion ot tho north division ot the Missouri Valley con fere nee. By tho rules of the conference, leaders of the north and south divisions arc se lected and then the championship of the valley Is decided in a series of three gnmea between these leaders. The Cornhusker squad is very promis ing, according to Coach Stlchm, although a number of the old men who promised to return have failed to show up. Hanzl lek Is stilt missing from the lineup, with Gibson, who was the star of last year's five. Captain Carrier, at guard.

Hawkins played foot ball on the varsity during the 1912 season and Is exceptionally speedy, The spring athletics season at Nebraska is going to be one of the busiest in its history. After having been forced out by the summer base ball rule, base ball Is again to be established at Nebraska, and Reed and Stlehm are now busy draft ing a schedule for the Cornhuskers. The Cornhuskers will havo at least three track meets in addition to the conference meeting, which will be held at St. Louis.

Tills month marks the ninth anniversary of ' the origin of tho "American crawl," tne swimming stroke that has placed Ameri can athletes at the top ot tha world 1 In sprint swimming. The year, 1909, was a memorable one In aquatics at the New York Athlotio club. C. M. Daniels had only just began to 1 attract attention, but the Mercury Foot Bquad included Fred Wenck, Charles Hubert, Otto Wnhle, L. do B. Handler. George Van Cleat, Ted Kltchtng, and a few others, who not onry could sweep clean tho board of championship events, but formed a coterie well versed in' the1 science of natation and deeply engrossed in the study of 'Us principles. Indeed, the day's practice was never complete without a general discussion of the problem of advancing the art of swimming. One afternoon In December, while the, little group was holding its usual sym posium, Otto Wahlo came upon tho acentf ' with a description of the crawl, clipped from an" Australian paper. Cavlll had Just been doing sensational work with' it, and little else was talked about Anmntr swimmers: "Unluckily tho 'description Written by some one who did not Know .the subject, and it was Impossible to 'make head or "tall of It. Suddenly Ruberl, at that tlmo all around champion, had an inspiration. ''Why, the leg thrash that man -talks about," ho exclaimed, "would Just fit a definition of Gus Sundstrom's sword-, fish stroke." l.cnniK Trick In South Seas. Sundstrom was then, and Is still, tha club's swimming Instructor, and ho can travel twenty-five yarns without using his hands almost as fast as can a good swimmer with the crawl. He holds his arms motionless above his head and beats up and down with his legs In rapid, nar row, alternative drives. lie learned the trick In the South Seas and has styled it the swordflsh stroke. Immediately upon Hubert's exclamation everyone saw the similarity to CaviH's, supposed kick. Sundstrom was asked to give an exhibition, and then and there most of the clubmen attempted to lmltata him. Some succeeded and without hesi tation took up the task of practicing the new movements: others were unable to master them and gave it up. Tho former combined 'the continuous thrash with the long straight-arm reach of the trudgeon. and In a couple ot months had clipped several seconds from their flfty-yard per formances.. Van Cleat and Kltchlng in particular negotiated the half century around twenty seconds, better time than had yet been shown. News of these achievements spread fast, and the Olympic games of 1904 In. 8t Louis gave swimmers of all sections an opportunity to see the Mercury footers In action, and by fall that year schools ot crawlers had been formed wherever nata. tlon obtained. Daniels, however, was not converted until a year later, when he went abroad to compete in the champion ship of England and saw the stroke used by Australians. It is worthy of note that, following his second meeting with Cecil Heoly the year after, in 1900, both he and the Syd ney champion altered their style In some detail to conform with the others, so that they now swim practically the same stroke. S(nce the advent of the crawl In 1503 It has been considerably Improved, but the original leg drive copied from Sundstrom has suffered small change and Austra lians who at first lifted the leg high out of wate,r, have now adopted the Sund strom movement.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Dec, 21.-When a young man met E, W, Andrews of this city on the street here today and asked for a dime to buy something to eat he was surprised at Andrews' will ingness to comply with the request. "Te. I'll buy you something to eat," Andrews raid, as he led the way to a restaurant, where a meal for the -hungry man was ordeied. While the man was eating Andrews summoned an officer. Andrews had recognized him as one ot two men who slugged and robbed him last Tuesday night. "I hope I have secured free board for you for a long time," Andrews said as he gave him over to the policeman. The young man said he was Walter Fendrte, 20 years old, of New YorJf.
