TOO MUST REBUELDSCHOOL TEAM But One Veteran Remains for Next Year's Struggles. SECOND STRING .MEN PREPARED Far from Oloonir View of Situation Taken by Fun When Remit ot Flnnl Gnme Thin Year la Considered. While the foot ball season just con eluded cannot be tormed the most suc cessful foot ball season in the history of the Omaha High school, the athletic en thusiasts at the school on the hill are far from gloomy because of the fitting culmination on Thanksgiving day, when North Platte was defeated so decisively. Omaha won the championship of the state so conclusively that the western squads who are so sanguine of superiority over Omaha, have crawled back Into the brush and are not anxious to play the high school. Next year Omaha faces a serious situa tion. Even first string man but one graduates from the school this year. Harte, the husky halfback, is tho only man on the squad who will resume his studies at the high school next fall. A one-man nucleus Is a serious proposition for any coach to buck against, and Tommle Mills Is looking ahead to next year with a deal of anxiety In his eyes. Harte will of course be captain of next year's squad. Prepares for Next Yenr. But Mills this year foresaw thts-predlca-ment and coached his second .team ofth scrubs, but two of whom graduate. That means that there will be nine men from the second squad who have had consid erable experience. The eleventh man will be Schlmmerhom, who played center in the game with Nebraska City, but did not play In any of the later games. The second team has been coached al most with as much care as the first ana many ot Its members have substi tuted In the regular games. Wlthey at end for the second team, Is a whirlwind, although a little light. Beard at center, Is almost as strong as Moser, while Heustls at halfback had learned to take the place of Platx until ho Is al mostas speedy as the Dutchman, and with more practice and experience may become as good a player. The quarter back position will admittedly be weak, un less a new aspirant appears In the flow of new students next year. The eleven men who have the best chances to secure positions on next year's squad are: Harte. Wlthey. Kimball. Rule, Melcher, Beard, Bradley, Walker.. .Neviiie, Meuetls, Hervey, Nichols and Schlmmerhom, PREP STUDENTS AT OMAHA UNI PLAY BASKET BALL Preparatory students ot tho University or umana nave organized a basket ball team composed of the following members: Arend Drew, right guard; Melvin Bea cons, left guard; James Westertteld, right forward; John Drexef. left forward; and Hughes as center. The preps havo been practicing steady during the last week and as a result consider themselves so proficient In the art of basket ball playing that they have grown chesty end challenged the freshmen team to meet them in a game to be played some time next week. Joseph Tablsca' has been retained to coach the preps. Arenl Drew has been elected captain of the team and Melvin Beacons, manager. Ne gotiations are under way to play a num ber of academic schools at the University of Omaha gym. SIOUX FALLS TEAM CLAIMS CHAMPIONSHIP SIOUX FALLS. B. D.. Nov. 30. (Spe clal.)

Rosenbera: has bean snendlnir his vaca tions at the Morrison alleys and winning his two-bit Dot games as usual. Archie Lemon has an eye for business. After every game he says, "Well, boys, let's all go up and get measured for a suit." There is a package at the Morrison alleys for Mr. Lane, contents unknown. It Is probably a boquet from some ad mirer. Tho Lary's Engravers have signed up a, new man by the name of Thlel. Ho Is an old-timer, formerly bowling In Iowa's metropolis. Joe Bergera eyes are getting Poor. He has been wearing glasses around the alleys lately. He says they help him to see tne pins. Since taking three straight from the leaders last week, Midget Dudley wants to enter his Larys Engravers In the mid west tournament. The captains of the bowling teams en tered in tho midwest tournament have received tho schedule for the big event. which shows 102 flvo-man teams entered from fifteen cities outside ot St. Louis. The St. Louis bowlers themselves have entered seventy-two teams. The Polarine Auto Oil team strength ened its lineup last week with the addi tion of Haarmanh. lie started out well In his first series. Bill Hlnrichs rolled the low game of tho Commercial league last week with 10i. This 1 ten pins below Wiley, who for- r eny hem low place. Holcomb of the Fairmont Creamery league has purchased a new ball. It must bo a good one for he rolled over 200 ,wlth It the other night. La. P. Hansen, the little oulet fellow bf the Metropolitan league was laid out pnaay mgnt Dy. nis worcny captain on account or being totally orworm. Pat Angleaberg Is another one of Omaha's bowlers who thinks that he has it on all of them, and Is willing to back himself to the limit, nobody barred. Captain Green of the El Faxos Is grow ng a mustache so as to make himself oak like an old timer. All he has to do now Is. to paint a little background for It. Bill Weber has been rolling 200 scores ever since he got that plug put In his ball. He still manages to make It take about threo breaks before reaching the pins. Bill lime Is the Mary Garden of Omaha bowlers. In fact BUI pays more atten tion to pulling off fancy dancing during the game than be does to getting tho pins. North Platte, Neb., and Pender, nod., bowlers are anxious to secure matches with some strong Omaha teams. They have a good set of alleys In each of these burgs. This morning on the Morrison alleys. the postponed games between the X-Raya ana .Frank's colts, tne Micicey umsons and the Pete Lochs, will be rolled off at 11 o'clock. The Automobile leaguers still Insist that they will get started. It la about time for them to crank her and get under way. They are having trouble getting their sixth team organized. The Storz Triumphs are the next bunch to take the choo-choo to Grand Island. They have practically arranged & match game with the Leldcrkranx club, but the date, has not been set Jimmy Jarosh still retains the lead of the Metropolitan league, and bids fair to hold It. At present he has a 18S average. and even lifted this a few pins Friday nigm wiin nis s-si game. Poor Kits, he rolled 671 in a not game on the Metropolitan alleys Wednesday right and didn't even win a cent. One ot these games was 243, and even at that he was stuck for the games. It Is about time the Gate City league Is getting away from that 165 average rule they have, causing the quality of bowl ing In this league to become lower In stead ot higher, as It should be. Take a look at the averages of the players on the Mickey Oibion team. A condition prevails, probably heretofore unknown In bowling history. Every man on the team has an average ot 163. Don Amsden says that he will take them all on at any game. His latest game la Cherry Valley. He makes his own rules. Recently he took Pat Angles berg to a cleaning at this game. That must have been a, put-up Job last week when McCaba won the Thanksgiv ing turkey on the Morrison alleys. Fltz, the houseman, was Invited out to Mac's for Thanksgiving dinner. Looks bad. Swede Nelson, who spends all ot hts extra Jitneys at pool. Is an all-alley bowler. Every, noon he can be seen hanging around most any alley with a dime In his hand ready to back himself. Shields said that he could average 200 or Detter on tne Association alleys, nut In a recent big pot game he was a hope less failure. In a series of six games be only managed to roll 1.012, an average ot 168. McCabe leaves the allev evcrv nlrht with medals pinned on him. However, these are not medals mat Mac jiaa won; they are small badges that have been tacked on him by some mischievous cul prit. The Jetter's Old Age team will be without the services ot Charley Zarp at Bt Louis. He says that business affairs will keep him from xrolng. Charley la an old tournament shooter, and always goes good. Reis Is still after Dober for that spe cial match. Rela lias been trying to gel a game with Dotier for two years, but has been unable to seo him as Joe al ways ducks down an alley when he sees Reis coming. BUI Weber carries a pocketful of quar ters so that he may take part In the two-bit pot gainoa on the Morrison alleys Bill usually geus a big supply of them every morning nt the bank. He usually needs all he gots. Now that McCoy Is back. Better Butter U stronger. With him In the lineup It Is also higher Mac has been out in the wood huntlnc turkeys, it sure was a change for him, as turkeys with him on the alleys are. very scarce. The Kdolwelsa team in the Metropolitan league Is slowly climbing up with the Pete Loch, in., bunch. If the Juniors in THE Copyright. 1913. International News Service. tend to win the flag, they will have to come fast "for the Edetwelss are going strong right behind them. Charles Verity, captain of tho Crown Gasoline team In the Standard Oil league, says that ho Is about through with tho dodo ball. Ho says that ho can go so far with It and no farther. Ho thinks he will pick up a straight ball and hook It himself. Dick Schneider has a habit of flapping his hands against his sides and attempt- " ny every umo no gels a strike. Pat Anglesberg threatens to open tho win dows and give him a chance to fly out In case he starts towards one. Plerronctto says that ho would rather bo a poor bowler and get pralso when he rolls a good game, than to be a shark who don't got any extra praiso when he rolls a good scoro, but gots many a hard knock when ho drops down low. Brown and Stanley, the Commercial league artists, are anxiously waiting to J? nea from Shields and Terrell ot the Gate City 'league In regard to a $25 match; three games on the Morrison al leys and three on the Metronnlltnn niinv Sioux City is seTiiilng two strong teams to the midwest tournament this season. The Western Brews, one of the strongest luumiuncni teams in mo country, nas entored; also the Martin Hotol team, with a lineup consisting of Sioux City's strong est players. There Is one thing that can be sold about one of tho teams In the Sunder land Bros. Bowling league, and that is that they are yellow, but this is not on account of any poor quality of bowling, but on account of their name. "Yello Wo cons." The new man In the Oate City league this week will bo Mntt Walcnx. brother of the old-Umer. Phil Wulens. We wonder what excuses the captains will have for preventing him from shooting li tho league. If ho passes the examina tion he will wear a Storz Triumphs shirt. With Ernto Christensen out of the game for the rest of tho season, the Luxus will supplant him on their St. Louis trip with Martin. Mike Spraguo, the sixth man ot the Luxus team, will Jump in the harness and finish the regular season With the south side brewers. Lost! a diamond ring. Finder please return to Joe Berger and probably re ceive a reward. Joe left this valuable article on the showcase one night whon he closed up, but when he got down to work the next day at noon It had mys teriously disappeared. Hamlet has been having his peepers open for a big money match with any of the local sharks. His Idea Is to play four sets of alleys, three In Omaha and one In South Omaha. He Prefers Ncalo, Conrad, Sciple and Fanton. He says the better they are, the better he likes them. Don Amsden sure Is a great help to Lary's Engravers. Since tacking his name on their lineup they have been win ning consistently. You con always tell when Don goes good without looking at tne score sneet Ho always orders pop wnen tilings aro breaking right ror htm, Joe Dober says that he has the gum scraped from the soles of his shoes and Is now going nicely. Not long ago some one plastered the soles of his shoes with chewing gum to keep him from leading the Commercial league. Joe says this Is the reason he rolled below 600 that night All railroads ran excursions to accom modate the crowds attending the match between the Storz Triumphs and Lary's Engravers last week. It seems as though the entire bowling population of the country la pulling against tho brew ers. At least this fs what Joo Dober says. Fitzy Flgenschuh says that he Is ready to bet any amount with anyone who says that he can't roll 1S6 or better, before or after breakfast He says you won't havo to hunt him up, either, as he sleeps on the alleys. He Is anxious to hear from Bill Weber, Learn and a few others who say ho has a yellow streak. Another bowler has been barred from shooting In the Gate City league. This time it was Plympton, who was signed up by Joe Dober tor the Storz Triumphs team. The league rule Is that no bowlor with an average better than 165 can bowl in the Gate City league. Plympton Is seventeen points better than this average. Midwest tournament officials are dis appointed on account ot the failure of tne tat l'aul bowlers to enter a team this year, St. Paul has always had a fast bunch In the lineup and one season thrv won first money. It Is probably due to wie ureal distance or travel that tho northern metropolis did not enter a team, Bland, the bowling star of the Fair. mom creamery league, nas announced that he will not enter the midwest tour. nament at St. Louis this season, but will roll a Jo match with Carl Welgal In stead. Bland says that he is sure of winning if he can only keen tho ball on the alley, Ho Is being coached by Gil- ureuiii. The Fairmont Creamery leaguers still Insist that Howe was bought off when he ditched two balls when only five pins were neeaea. iney ao not seem to un derstand how a bowler of his caliber could roll two balls in the gutter at suah a critical moment. In fact every morn ing inoy greet nim wiin ' now-ao-you-uo. HoweT" . The Peoria bowlers are after the mM. west tournament for next year. They imvu emcrru luur airoog teams in tms tear's event, and are also bringing a bunch ot boosters to null for nr.t son- eon's event. Sentiment here Is that this Is carrying the tournament too far east for the Midwest association. Sioux City is trying to land the tournament and should have It. They have always been faithtul to the Midwest association, and have never had the opportunity to hold the tournament In addition to tho above, the Midwest association was nrac tically organized In Sioux City. Omaha bowlers go to St. Louis pulling for the up-river town. Mra, McClaln'a experience with Croup. "When my boy, Ray, was small he was subject to croup, and I was always alarmed at such times.

Mathow Roberts, a ti-year-old negro lad, was arrested Sunday morning as r suspect In the murder ot James Short, teamster, which occurred a week ago Sunday morning on a vacant lot nt Twenty-second and Seward stroets. Roberts lives at 2203 Paul street, scarcely 100 feet from where Short's body was found and only a few yards from thi wrecking establishment where Jho bnr of Iron with which tho murder ns accom plished was taken. Detectives Ring and Van Dusen, de tailed to tho case, arrested the suspect along with a number of others shortly after the crime, but Mnthew temporarily allayed their- suspicions and he was al lowed his freedom. Further work on the case led to his arrest yesterday by the same officers, who upon closely questioning him as to his whereabouts at the time, grew aus plclous at the readiness with which he could account for his every action and the time that each occurred. Some of his assertions were found to be false and It Is' the belief of -Captain MaloneV that Roberts knows considerable about the case.
