The out-of-town guest Uit at the ban
quet of the Omaha alumnt of the state
university for the Cornhusker foot ball
eleven on the evening1 of January S now
exceeds 150, a number much larger than
was expected would be present. The
high schools of the state haVe responded
to the Invitation to send their gridiron
teams. So many nave accepiea me umo
that nearly every largo high school In :
the Btate will bo represented, some with
fifteen players, some with ten, some
with five and some with two.
With the guest list exceeding 150, the
banquet will be attended by more than
COO persons. The committee In charge of
the dinner figures that the total number
picsent will be 00, for there are more
than 'JOO Nebraska alumni Hying In
Omaha, and practically all of them will
bo present In addition to the Omaha
Nebraska alumni, there will be gradu
ate from the other college alumni In
this city. The Cornhusker committee
will have a representative from each col
lege and university that has any alumni
this city.
Other Alumni Coming.
Former Cornhusker foot ball captains
who were invited to be guests have ac
cepted. John Westover and Glen Mason
are both coming from Lincoln. Nebraska
alumni who live out In the state have
written to the committee asking If they
may come, nequests of this kind have
been received from ten different towns,
and In each case the local committee
has answered the letter by saying that
all Nebraska alumni are welcome to the
banquet, but that the man In charge of
the dinner must know before January
Just how many persons will attend. This
Information must be had because the
committee needs to raise sufficient
money to take care of Its guests, and
It must also have accommodations to
take care of the diners. It Is now be
linved that the new University club
quarters will be too small for the big
banquet and that the Commercial club
dining hall will have to ne usea. aiosi
f the members of the Nebraska alumni
ere members of the Commercial club, so
they are permitted to use this room
according to the laws of the commercial
organization.
Tlienter Mannicern Interested.
The theater managers of the city are
Interested In the banquet, even to the ex
tent of offering suggestions which will
be helpful to the alumlnl in getting the

acts for the Hippodrome that also can
appear at the banquet ana turnisn a 101

One of there acts may be a quartet, one
of the best on the circuit. Manager

D V JAMBS E. LAWIUJNCE.
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 28.-(Speclal.)-The
organization of a base boll team and
the drafting of a schedule for the Corn
huskers In this department of sport Is
the latest move In the affairs of the
Nebraska State university.
Coach Stlehin and Manager Reed have
been. working for' some time with other.
schools of the Missouri valley and other
western colleges to secure enough ganvjt ,
to warrant the organization of a squad
and team. Last spring an attempt waB ;
made to. reorganize the b'all team, after
its untimely demise when the Missouri
valley conference became so much purl
fled that it could -not permit the base
ball players to play summer base ball.
Other teams had already drafted their
schedules, however, so It was Impossible
to get games. An a result one of the
most promising squads In years was lost
to the university as the players refused
to devote valuable time each day to a
branch of sport where It was sure no
schedule could be prepared. After play
ing, two or three practice games with
neighboring secondary colleges and with
other similar organizations the squad dis
banded for the season.
Grtttnir Dates .Vow.
It Is to avoid Just this happening that
the management is already stirring
around for dates. The Cornhuskers, ac
cording to present plans, will play from
eighteen to twenty games. At least half
of them will be played away from home.
the team taking a ten-day trip over Mis
souri valley territory.
Practice among prospective candidates
for the team will not begin until towards
the close of the basket ball season or
nearly two months yet. It will opsn
early, however, as Sllelim will have a big
Job on his hands to develop an entirely
new team and secure any semblance of
team play, especially since the Corn
huskers have eliminated base ball since
the Missouri valley conference became so
strict In Its restrictions as to who should
play and who should not play.
The determination of the Cornhuskers
to put a team In the field is of more Im
portance than would appear on the sur
face. It practically means that the Corn
huskers are determined to be bound r.o
longer by the nonsensical restrictions
found In the Missouri valley conference
eligibility tests.
In order' to appease the wrath of the
larger schools the conference last spring
haff-heartedly modified Its rules ro as to
allow greater latitude In summer b.o
ball playing. But that arrangement de
volved too big a burden on the desk man
whose luty It Is to check up.
Policy if Cornliiinkfrc,
Nebraska, with a good base ball record
and basket ball season, can go before
the conference and ask the repeal of
those objectionable features o'f the rul's.
Provided the smaller schools manage to
frighten the remaining larger ones, then
it means that the University of Nebraska
can also use Its club of withdrawal.
The Cornhuskers have lost a large num
ber of tho members of the squad from
Inst season, but there Is still an abun
dance of candidates from which Stlehm
will develop his team.
Basket ball will demand Immediate at
tention when school resumes from the
Christmas holidays the first of next
week. Twq or three practice games with
strong state players should be able to
place the Cornhuskers In fine shape for
the opening of tre Missouri valley con
ference championship series. These games
begin about the middle of January and
should be complete within three weeks.
Then the championship series between
the winners In the north and south divi
sions ends the activity of the Cornhuxk-
, f rs in n.s line o spori.

at the Flambeau club's midwinter box
ing carnival at the Armor)- last night
The fame of the stock yards gladiator '
tested the capacity or the house at 1 and
2 a throw, and while the disappointment
was both deep and general, the animus
of the club was so thoroughly understood
that there was not a single serious re
monstrance and no unfavorable demon
stration of any kind.
All felt that the club had been thrown
down In u most cowardly and culpable
manner and were perfectly willing to
nfake the best of It. And let It be zald
here, from a fighting viewpoint, the best
of It was vastly superior to anything that
jilcKarland and Daniels could have sup
plied, KlBlitcr'n l'ame Drew Well.
While It was known beyond the shadow
of a doubt that Daniels. could In no way
be considered even a fair sparring partner
for Mcr'urhind, who stands at the head
of his clubs, not only In this country, but
everywhere else, It was McKariand's
name that Jammed the hall to suffocating
point.
J, V. Krause, the secretary of the
club, met the situation gracefully. He
lias sorely troubled and perplexed, but
made n clean breast of the whole sad
business and requested a suspension of
Judgment until the dirt that had been
dona the organization by' McFarland
had been thoroughly appreciated. He
read telegrams from Emll Mlrty, Mc
Kariand's manager, and from Nate Lewis,
hla Chicago press agent, verifying the
bona fldeness.of the club's contract with
McKarlnnd; exhibited a railroad receipt
for two first-class tickets for the fighter
and his manager trom the Windy City
here, and otherwise demonstrated clearly
and unequivocally that the club had done
n6 wilful wrong.
He also stated that If there was an In
dividual In the house dissatisfied with
the snow as It was he could step to the
box office, .and get his money back

as a substitute for McFarland the
club had relected Jack Gorman, but Clar
ence English .was on hand,, and mount
ing the platform, he said that he would
step Into McKariand's gaiters, and meet
Daniels and give his end of the .money
to any charity that might be named by
the newspaper men. The crowd made
It Vigorously evident that they preferred
English, and so the Omaha mah was
determined upon. The club guaranteed
blm IJ69, or 25 per cent of the gate re
ceipt, the same as was given the St.
Joseph boy.
They gave a good, fast bout, English
displaying all his old time ring cun
ning, swift foot work and good hitting
qualities, and had it on Daniels at all
angles, and at that there was no dls-
i parity In their weight. What McKarland
would have done to Daniels would be
unfit for pubflactlon. Judging from the
way he mimed the elusive English, he
couldn't have hit Packey with a hand
full of bird shot.

Williams, coach of tho University
of
Minnesota foot (ball team, In his report
today before tho :atlonal Collegiate
Athletic association, as chairman of the
rules committee.
The association, with delegates from
nearly ninety colleges and universities
present, met here for Its seventh annual
session.
Mr. Williams told of the difficulties that
had been overcome and the many radical
changes that had been made, all of which
he said had proved most fortunate. For
several years back, he said, the proper
adjustment of the balance between of
fense and defense, with Just the right
equilibrium between there forces, has
been a serious problem. The advantage,
he contended, had been on the side of the
defense and It had been well recognized
that as the goal line was approached the
defenso became stronger through tho
drawing In of the backs to support the
line, so inai ine scoring "i uihiuuui
by equally balanced teams was exceed
ingly difficult. For thei reasons, ho
said, the rules were changed to give four
downs In ten yard's Instead of three, n
change which he characterized as the
most Important and beneficial Introduced
since the ten-yard rule was adopted,
Onnlilr. Kick Too Uncertain.
The elimination of the on-side kick
wai another change widen he safd was
most Important for the best Interests of
the game and was made because the
committee felt that the advantngo of the
attAck over the defense might be too
great, became of the decided danger to
the defensive backs and because of the
decided element' of chance and luck In
the play.
After reciting the disadvantages of
annual changes In the rules, both to the
players and tho npectators In general,
Mr. Williams closed hlB report with the
statement Jthat now at last we seem to
have a game that Is the most 'satis
factory, popular alike to players, spec
tators and coaches, where the balance
between attack and defense Is nicely ad
Justed; where a team that Is properly
Instructed and properly directed upon tho
field of play ought always to be able to
score, unless outclassed, and where the
team of superior ability and skill almont
Invariably wins.
Gtorgo W, Ehler, director of physical
education at the University of Wisconsin,
rendering a report on "foot ball fatalities
among college men," announced that
there were no deaths among college men
last peason, but that a school loy was
killed.
Dr. J. A. Babbitt of Haverford re
ported for the committee on soccer foot
ball, and J. A. Roycroft for the basket
ball rules committee. The track rules
committee, of which A. A. Ktagg of
Chicago university is chairman, had no
Important changes to propose.
Mr. Ehler, In discussing the work of
the committee' on amateurism, declared
there was a "twilight zone" within
which the application of the law Is not
always simple or clear,
"The trouble," he said, "does not arise
so much out of the difficulty of deter
mining whether an. actual violation of
the letter of the law has occurred, but
; whether there has been a violation of the
spirit of the rule. That there Is no

Don AlcClurd of Oskaloosa,- traveling
over "The Great White Way," won the
cross stato race that started from
Davenport, la., at 0:15 o'clock yesterday
morning from Peter Peterson of Daven
port by o margin of thlrty-slx minutes.
Peterson traveled over the "River to
River" road.
As McClUre was given a handicap of
thirty minutes, ho actually won the race
by six minutes. Peterson carried three
passengers In a touring car while Mc
Clnre used a racing machine In which
only he and his mechanician rode. Mc
Clure arrived at 4:B7 p. m, and Peterson
nt r:33 p. m. in Council Bluffs.
The "River to River" road la about forty
miles longer than the "Great Wliito
Way," In one stretch McClure made
sixty-six miles In 121 minutes.
Tho race was to dccldo which of th
two roads was Jiest to adopt as the na
tional highway across Iowa,
I'.nrly .Mnnilii.'jr Stnrti
Peterson nnd McCluro had hrcakfatit
served together In the morning In the
New Kimball hotel at Davenport. Just
at C:.T0 o'clock they both started on their
long, cold and faBt rldo across Iowa.
McClure'H route, over tho Great White
Way, took him first to Blue Grafs, Mus
catine, Columbus Junction, Washington,
Oskolaosa, PraJrle City, Pella. and Dea
Moines, and then on west to C'jucII
Bluffs. Peterson followed tho Rlr to
River road throughout from the cast to
the west.
Tuke on PllolH.
Peterson figured on striking better than
a forty-five-mllo an hour average for the
entire cross-state drive. By having ex
perienced pilots taken on at different
cities, who knew the road perfectly for
tho next fifty miles or so ahead, fast
driving wns possible. Tho roads wero In
better condition than they have been In
for ii number of mouths. There was very
llttlo dtift, as the roads are to an extent
frozen on the crust, nnd yet there were
but few bumps which have not worn
down smooth. The only handicap was
the approaches to the bridges. Many of
these wero allowed to get bumpy durinK
the fall and nothing hus been done to
them, of course, since tho advent of win
tor weather.
Speed Limit Suspfniled,
In every .town across the state, on both
of the roads traversed by the roclng cars,
the speed limit rules were suspended by
order of the mayors and chiefs of police.
A clear field down the streets to be used
by Peterson and McCluro was kept by
the police, aya thus there was no chance
for danger to anyone.
The Curs lined.
Peterson drove his sIxtv-horsnnnw-Ap
