in addition to taking charge of the sec

i .ondlnir Is considered one of the great-
-t catchers in the game today to brhig
' ont the good stuff stored up In the sys
trms of recruits. Many young pltchew
go to training camps, knowing thoy can
make good, but do not get the right kind
..f encouragement and In most cases .suf
fer from severe attacks of stage fright.
The regulars, or' first team, which will
tepresent Omaha on the diamond this sea
t.un, will do little traveling during tlu
training season. Hourke has arranged sev
eral games with major league teams and
as many more with Wetern league teams,
wlilch will train in and about Oklahoma,
in all. six Western league teams will train
within n. radius of 100 mles and it Is pos
sible that an ante-season schedule may
bo arranged.
The Rourkes will not leave Oklahoma
t'lty for home until one week before the
season opens. Arriving in Omaha the
team will stop at tho MiUard hotel until
the opening of the season. Games have
been arranged with Lincoln to bo played
here on tho Saturday and Sunday prior to
the opening, of the 1913 season. These two
games will give the home tana an oppor
tunity to get a line on the Rourkes be
fore the season opens. They will be the
i.. ninvorf in tlin cltv before the
tJIIIJ , " "V '
opening day.
Itonrkes to Open Here.
It Is now almost assured that the
Omaha team will open the 1918 season at
home and extensive arrangements are be
ing made for a gala day, when business
will be suspended and schools closed. The
opening festivities are going to eclipse
anything that has ever been put on be
fore. If the Omaha team does not open
nt home the festivities will be pulled off
on the first day Omaha plays here. The
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, under the direc
tion of "Dad" Weaver, are planning to
pull off a real opening day, one whloh
will make all former ones look sick.
Pa Rourke believes that the attendance
Bt ball games In Omaha this season is
going to be greater than ever, owing to
tho caliber of tho 1913 team, which, ac
cording to tho Omaha magnate, will be
such that the fans will not want to stay
away from the pork. Those who saw the
Rourkes play ball last year will not heal
tate to agree that it was some base ball
team. Every man who played last year,
w th avrontinn of Mark Hall, will
again wear an Omaha uniform and play
this season. Tho same team wilt repre
sent Omaha.
Omabn Team Strong.
With the same team and the experienoe
they received last year by playing to
gether it can readily be seen that the
team which beats Omaha for the pun
nant this year will have to hustle all
through the season. A recent letter re
, olved by Pa Rourke from Charley Arbo
Kast who will again manago the
Rourkes. gives the refreshing news that
rby is going to secure a seat on wie
bund wagon at the start and he says
p.. expects to carry the whip all season.
A.bosast certainly has tho players to do
,. with and If he uses his head to ad
jutage and manages only as a manager
r,..uld, Omaha will come homo with the
,a, on-and the pennant.
To date Rourke has received his
M contract from almost every player
,, the club. One or two have not signed
'. ,et but before the spring training
Lor. 'oPs they will all be on deck,
v , u cut has been made in the salaries

UNIVERSITY GAME A BIG ONE
Meeting Between Omaha and South
Dakota Very Promising.
BOTH SWIFT BASKET TOSSERS
While Dakotans 3Iny Hnve 12lice on
Iiocnl Team, They Will Hnve to
Earn Everything; They
'Carry Away.
Next Friday night, February' 14, will
be the big basket ball event In the annals
of the floor game at the University, of
Omaha and will be the most attractive
thing on the program of the local basket
ball season. On that night the Uni
versity of Omaha will meet the much
heralded South Dakota five at the uni
versity gymnasium. The Dakotans ore
fast and It is said that their team, with
the exception of the Portogo, Wis.,
team is tho best that has ever been
scheduled a game in Omaha. Among tha
scintillating northern light are Sheeks and
Imlay, who made such a favorable Im
pression on the sporting public of Omaha
last Thanksgiving day.
Notwithstanding that, they are going
up against a tartar, and the local team
Is hopeful of playing the game of the
BeaMn and of pushing the Coyotes for
every point they secure. After the victory
over Bellevuo Friday night Coach Nagel,
Instead of letting up on the work, began
a course of more strenuous practice than
has been given so far this season. Last
night the team Journeyed to Council
Bluffs to work out against the association
team there. Monday night the second
team of the university will be pitted
against the varsity quintet and on Tues
day the Nebraska Alumni will scrimmage
with the Shetlands.
An Attractive Game.
It Is thought that one of the biggest
crowds vl the season will see the gumn
Friday and as a result tho seating
capacity of the gymnasium Is being
greatly Increased. Warren Ritchie, who
has made a very favorable Impression
as an official In the Trl-Clty league, will
referee. Ritchie, while not permitting any
deliberate fouling or unnecessary rough
play, is not overly strict and allows the
gamo to progress so that It has Interest
for the spectators. C. 15. Reed, director
of athletics In the Omaha High school,
will keep time and Will Klewitt will be
score keeper.
Base ball will get Its first tryout at
the university this season. Sam 81otcky.
the hustling manager of the second basket
ball team, has charge of the ball schedult
and has already two or three good trips
arranged. Thero are several good ball
players who have played on some of tlvi
best of tho local amateur teams. The
captain of the team has not been selected
as yet, hut the prospects are that Al
Adams, catcher for the llaum Iron team
last season, will be elected to lead the
nine. What will be done with track is
still problematical. Thero are two or
three real good track men In the school,
but not enough to make a well balanced
team, so It Is likely that attention wl'l
be centered on baso ball and that th
school will be represented In only a few
events at the state meet.
FOOT. BALL RULES WILL
BE GIVEN THE REST CURE
NEW YORK. Feb. 8. Foot ball rules
are almost sure to get the "rest cure"
this year, according to authoritative
sources. Although tho Intercollegiate
rules committee has arranged for its an
nual meeting here on February 14, It is
expected that Its fourteen members will
havo little to do. The revised code
adopted last winter was generally ap
proved In reports at the recent meeting
of the National Collegiate Athletic asso
ciation and In all probability the changes
lr rules, if any at all, will be along
clarifying lines, with nothing new or
radical.
The Franklin Academy Foot Ball Team claims championship of Southwestern Ne
braska. It defeated Red Cloud, 21 to 6; Arapahoe, 40 to 0; Rod Cloud, 9 to 0. It was defeated
by Beaver City, 12 to 0. Top row, left to right: Deselms, center; Broughten, fullback; Wor

NEW YORK, Feb. 8. A. F. BeotlnBon,
manager of the National Sporting club
of London, which is the most notablo
boxing club of the world, came out
strongly a few days ago, in the course
of a speech delivered at a banquet In his
honor. In favor of an International board
to control the sport. Ills remarks havo
been generally accepted with much favor
In the press and in sporting circles of
England, and it is not unlikely that the
promoters In the latter country will soon
take steps to arrange conferences, such
as the boxing boards of France and tha
United States have had.
The latest agitation has brought out a
long article on tho subject In the London
Dally Mall warmly endorsing the plan,
which seems to be regarded as a necessity
for the preservation of the sport. The
Mall agrees that the New York athletic
commission has done good, work, but
charges 1t with ultra-restrictlveuess. The
writer suggests championship belts for
the various classes to correspond with
the Lord Lonsdale belts In England, the
compelling of world and national cham
pions to defend their titles within cer
tain reasonable periods, and ho makes
several other suggestions that might do
much to put the game on a sounder basis.
The Mall says In part:
In England tho control of amateur
boxing is in perfectly safe hands. It Is
on tho professional side the side from
which the great mass of the public de
rives Its knowledge and Its appetite

Must the Cornhuskers
Clyde Elliott Thinks
Il- CLYDK 13. HI.LIUTT.
From a Minneapolis foot ball writer,
whose respect for Cornhusker uthletloa
has never been too greut, has come the
suggestion that University of Nebraska
foot baltlsts and their supporters bo con
tent with conditions as they are, unci
that they do not try to remedy the de
fects In a coaching system which has
produced at the best 'but mediocre elev
ens during recent years. The philosophical
scribe of tho Milling City's paper Is cer
tain that the Cornhuskers have no
more chance of licking the Minnesota
eleven next fall than a snow ball hat
of remaining Intact in that place all bad
little boys aro supposed to go. The north
ern gentleman would make pragmatics
of all Cornhurkers. Ho would have them
go ut their gridiron task with cheerful
effort and accept cheerfully the fate
which Is to be handed them In the unals.
He wants tho Cornhuskers to prepare to
fight hard and to take no una mo in
honest defeat. There Is to be defeat for
the Cornhuskers, of course, at the hands
of the Gophers, so why not be prepare 1
that's tho Mlnneeotan'i philosophy.
Rather Interesting, anyway, this nothern
suggestion that one should recognize Out

Always Humble Themselves Before the Gophers ?
the Minnesota Philosophy is All Wrong
it Is already settled that the Cornhuskers
are to tako the short end of tho game? j
Not Knllrely New.
Dut tho MluneaiKills scribe's suggestion
Is not ut all new. For many yeaw,
students und foot ball teams of the uni
versity of Nebraska havo regarded tho
Minnesota game philosophically. It has al-
wnys been considered a certain defeat for
the Nebraska eleven and none but the
freshmen these really true sports who
love the college game because It Is a sport
that represents the cleanest of all athletic
contests have been greatly grieved over
defeat. There never has been a recent sea
son when the Cornhuskers wero booked U
win. Here and there were students and
writers who declared the time had ar
rived when Nebraska was going to re
peat that 1902 trick, but even down .i
the hearts of these persons won a fettered
fellng that kept saying that reminded
them that the Cornhuskers would not win,
that something unforeseen would step In
and be the undoing, und so It always nar.
been.
llecuuse history has, given the Corn
huskers but a single victory over Minne
sota, why should the Cornhuskers of to
day be resigned to a condition that could
be changed, If the philosophical cloak of
apathy were hurled off and the sleeping
strength exerted? Something will con

evolves nothing but defeat ut the hands

from other schools.
Not llrnlly ClianiiH.
Two champions of the Missouri valley in
recent years, some will suy. Yet in 1911
tho Cornhuskers did not lick Ames. The
two teums met and the Aggies fully held
their own. Their clulm to the title In
fully as clear as Nebraska's. This season
the Cornhuskers gulned a hollow victory
over Kunsas und Ames licked all Its op
ponents decisively. The Aggies surely
looked the better.
To such u coaching system ns Nebraska
now has no one can look for great things.
It cannot produce them. Couch .Stlehm Is
an excellent tutor, but he Is fettered on
ull sides. He must havo asulstunts. Tha
present plan of coaching elevens Is rotten,

of foot ball ever pulled off In the middle

LINCOLN. Feb. 8. (Special.) "Davy"
Davidson, formerly a member of the
Lnicoln and Omaha Western league baso
ball clubs, has volunteered IiIb services
ti. loach tho Cornhusker base ball so,und
lor its first real season of base ball fclnce
the summer baso ball rules of the Mis
souri valley conference put the gamo on
tho blnck list among Cornhusker stu
dents. .Manager Guy K. Reed last night
announced that he hod secured tho serv
ices of Davidson. The auburn-haired out
llelder has had much oxperlonce as a
member of tho Lincoln leaguo team for
tin oo seasons, with tho Brooklyn Na
tional league tenm for two seasons In tho
role of a utility player and with the
Routko tribe for a part of tho season
lust year.
Reed says that baso bnll practice will
start within a few days. If the weather
proves a trlflo too wintry for the squad
then the gymnuslum will be utilized to
allow tho pitchers and catchers to work
the soreness out of their arms.
Stlehm has determined to give base ball
a thorough tryout this season and see It
tho Tenement Dwellers really want to
buck a team. Hn Is considerably delighted
that Reod was able to secure the services
of Davidson to teach the collegians somi
of the finer points of the gume. Stlehm,
himself, will be much too busy to pay at
tention to tho base ball squad with spring
foot ball training and with basket ball on
his hands. Ho will turn thlB department
of sport over entirely to Davidson and
Reed.
Track Work IlrRlna.
Regardless of snow or cold weather
Reed said last night that he would lssuo
a call for outdoor track training next
Monday night. If the weather remains
cold then tho squad will be furnished with
heavy colthlng and tho training will con
tinue regardless of tho attempts of O.'d
Mun Winter to keep tho track athletes
Inside.
Thero Is very little snow on the cinder
path und tho track Is In Ideal condition
Reed figures that with the amount r.f
now material ho has to develop for his
teum this season, the early start will be
a most nccessnry featuro of a successful
season.
Thlrty-flvo candidates havo been re
porting regulurly for tho track squad fiT
tho work In tho gymnuBium and while the
number Is liable to fall short a few next
Monday night when the practice Is trans
ferred to tho cinder path, Roed figures
thut ho will still have enough men to
keep him busy.
Dr. R. a. Clapp of tho physical educa
tion department nnd Roy Dunlap. a
former university track man, who holds
tho records In the hurdles with Dale Mc
Donald, are usslstlng Reed.
Reed received a letter from Oklahoma,
challenging the Cornhuskers to a relay
rauo nt the- big inuoor meet in jvansaa
City March 1, to which the Dwellers will
send a number of representatives. Reed
Immediately accepted the challenge. The
Sooncrs possess two remarkably fast
truck men In Reed and Courtrlght, who
also plsyed foot ball on the Oklahoma
team. Tho Cornhuskers will have to de
velop nn entirely new relay team, but
Reed bus a number of good quarter
inllers at his command and does not an-
tlrloatu a verv hard Job.
IIIkIi School Sleet.
Nebraska high schools who Intend to
enter tho basket ball tournament for
the championship of the state, conducted
under tho auspices of the university,
must make entry by March 1. The entry
must Include a list of the team members,
with a certified statement as to scholar
ship und eligibility under the Nebraska
iuttrscholustlo rules.
Reed has already received replies from
a dozm Nebruska schools, and In four
instances has received the entry list,
properly certified. Those schools which
Reed lias heard from Include York high,
Lincoln high, Omaha high, University
Place high, Central City high, Holdrega
high, Geneva high, Aurora high and
llenkclmun high.
In uddllton to this hn has received other
Inqulrlos regarding the meet. Reed ex
pects that between thirty-five and forty
schools will compete during tho three
days for the basket ball championship.
Omaha high carried off the pennant last
spring. The tournament will bo held at
the university gymnasium March 13, 14
and IS Greek letter societies will be al
lowed to entertain the visiting high
school athletes during the tournament,
ard In this manner the care of many oC
tho visiting teams is arranged tor.
Lounl Indoor Met.
The big Indoor meet of the university
year at Nebraska will be held next Fri
day night ut the university gymnasium
on charter day. The events will be the
same as last year, Including the twenty-five-yard
dash, pole vault, fence vault,

Jump. In uddltlon to this there will be
an Interclasa relay race.
All Indoor men are allowed to partici
pate In the meet, regardless of whether
they have won letters in university ath
