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

Preparatory students ot tho University

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

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

The captains of the bowling teams en

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.

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

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.

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

roll a Jo match with Carl Welgal In

winning if he can only keen tho ball on

The Fairmont Creamery leaguers still
Insist that Howe was bought off when
he ditched two balls when only five pins

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
