Schedule of fJnm'es la Norr
Under War.
With tha electing of Andrew Dow cap-
tain of the varsity basket ball team and
with the securing of A. XI IUtohlo tus
coach, the putting In shape of a baskot
ball team will b puahod forward mora
rapidly than ever at tho University of
Omaha
Basket ball at tho University of Omaha
ha been delayed more this season than
In any other prevloua year. Some time
a co Clinton Itatsey waa elected to man
ate the varalty team, but an Injury which
he received early In the summer forced
him to realm the position. Stanley High,
who wm elected aa aaititant monacor,
"will hare chares of managing the team.
Ma la In communication with a number
ef teams and expect to have a schedule
arranged In the next few weeka. It la
planned to arrange a schedule of fifteen
irimM, halt to be played at Omaha and
tha rent out of tha city. Some of the
teams that High haa been In communica
tion with are Westeynn, Coiner, Peru,
Tarkio, Hastings and Bellevue. It Is
also probable- that some of the larger
university basket ball teams will bo
booked on their way through this part
of ths state. Last season the University
of South Dakota team rame through
this way on a trip and a game will In
all chances be arranged with them if
they come this way.
A new system Is to be tried at the
eohool this season In turntng out mora
students for the games. Tickets nro be
ing told Insuring tha purchaser admit
tance to five home games for the sum of
$1. Ho far tha plan has met with great
success, as practically all the students
hava either purchased tickets or signed
up to take one. Basket bull In recent
years has met with only poor suocess
financially at the school, hut with the
new plan It Is hope to make the sport a
paying one.
fttadrnts dimming; Interest.
More Interest Is shown by ,the students
In the floor game this season than for a
number of years. An Interclass bosket
bait league haa been organized and is
proving more popular than was at first
supposed. The Veen rivalry In tho games
Is daJng more than anything else to stim
ulate Interest In tha floor game. Besides
stimulating Interest In basket ball It Is
heawa to develop better material for the
varsity team.
Deaplte the lata start prospects for a
wfettlR team are brighter than for a
number of years. With the exception of
two of last years players, ths varsity
tram wilt be the same as last season.
TWe la also a large amount .of new ma.
tfrttil on hand.
Of last year's team. Jenkins, Dow, Par
Uh, P. Selby and Jorgenaen will be seen

last ear, and Ualsey are the two men
not out for it team. Both theie players
hava left school.

of these players have had experlenoa
before coming to tha Unlvfrslty of Omaha
and as a result are making a good show.
Ing in the preliminary practice among
the class teams. It Is not expected to
have much trouble In developing sev
eral new men for the Vacant positions
on tha varsity team.
The co-eds at the school do not figure
on being left behind this season. A team
has been organised of the best girl play
ers, under the direction of Miss Banghart.

are to be played by the co-eds. with out-of-town
teams. Miss Nellie Wood, mana

Three are tha claims upon which a

The next mark to go will probably bo

Johnson wan secured by the 'Highlanders

Johnson has an excellent chance to

OMAHA HAS BRIGHT PROSPECTS
Roarke's Proteges Look Good to the
Ero aa Additional New Play

Pennant Contender.
Although the iwintry blasts of father
(Boreas have Just struck Omaha with
real Intent and Pa Rourke ts still bliss
fully sitting before a grate fire with
his head chock full of thoughts, but
with never an utterance, the stove league
of Omaha fans is on In full force and
already eight teams have won and lost
the 1914 pennant Every real fan, -whether
he to the p round possessor of a charter
membership or Is merely a recent ac
quisition to the celebrated winter league,
has furnished his share cf tha cobs to
make the fire bum and Is busily doping
out next year's race with hts feltow-fans.
Despite the fact that Joseph Tinker,
Governor Toner, Charlie Bbbota, the Fed
eral league and their activities have been
occupying considerable space in the
sporting columns for the last few days,
the choleat morsel cf conversation Is
Omaha and prospects for next season.
Not even most dled-!n-the-work fan In
the city Is acquainted with Pa'n plans,
because Pa never haa been noted for
loquacity and thla year he has been espe
cially reticent There Is no doubt but
what the owner of the Omaha team. Is
bubbling; with plans, but no bubbles hava
as yet coma to the surface long enough
to glvo anyone an earful of authentic
Information. Bo the best the fans can
do is to deduce and induce from various
rumors and from various actions of the
slippery Fa, In order to get material tor
tha dope sheet
Dope Sheet looks Goofl.
The dope sheet, however, even though
It be very Incomplete, Is a rest for sore
eyes. It Omaha doesn't have a winning
team next year It will be because the
official weather prognostlcator catches
a grouoh and turns on tha bad weather
faucet, when ever Omaha Is at home and
In the midst of a winning streaky Rourke
has accumulated a few players, ail of
them youngsters of promise, and with
his old standbya, ha haa tha nucleus of
a team that should be a ' serious con
tender for tha cherished emblem.
Rourke has secured six new playera, or
at least he has announced six new play
era, although he may have a, few more
up his sleeve ready to spring In the
near future. He has secured two new
pitchers, whloh haa filled ths fana with
Joy, because It takes pitchers to make
a winning team and -Omaha was a little
shy on winning pitchers last year.
Ormsby, a tall, right-hander, combs from
Green Bay, of the Wisconsin league, and
Brady, a port-side fllnger, comes from
Oshkosh, of the same league. Ormsby
comes with quite a reputation. He was
a winner In Wisconsin and, as he la
a youngster with a future before him,
there la little doubt, but what a good,
manager will be able to work him Into
major league calibre.
Brady Haa Everything.
Brady, the southpaw from Oshkosh, Is
a little better advertised, because a few
Omaha fans have seen him in action. He
Is described by those who saw him as a
pitcher with everything from a variety
of curves to straight balls and a floater,
all of which he mixes up In th eapproved
style pf a good pitcher. .
Rourke haa purchases' three Is field era.
Chase, a first baseman from Spokane;
Thomas, a shortstop from Qren Bay, and
ICrug, who has played most all Infield
and outfield positions, from the Boston
Americans. Krug, of course, locks the
best of the trio. He coet Pa a wad of
coin, and when Pa spends money he
doesn't spend it for nothing. Krug will
probably play at second base or third
base.
Last year Krug played with Indian
apolis and he played excellent ball, show
ing that he Is a consistent hitter, a clever
fielder, a speedy base runner, and. above
all, a heady player. He should be a
tower of strength to the Infield.
The sixth acquisition Is an outfielder
by ths name of Bell from Superior, Wis.
H comes with a good record, and, al
though not a sensation, he ts recognized
as a comer -who will push rapidly to the
fore under good tutoring.
Pa 111 penis ou for Other Players.
Pa says he has several deals on for
new playera. but he refuses to divulge
their names Vt present, because nothing
definite has been decided, and It might
ba possible that he would change his
mind If better opportunities presented
themselves. A pitcher, or perhaps two,
will be added, and a catcher and another
Inflelder must ba secured to complete
the roster.
Pa still has the old boys who wore the
Pa still haa the old boys who wore the
uniform last year, but "any one of them
Is In ths markst for trade If ths trade
looks good to Pa. ' Thorn ason, Coyle,
Payne, Sohlpke, Kane, Justice, nicks,
Robinson, Schlltser, Closaman, Brenner,
Bhestak and the others are still en Pa's
Hit and ready to fight for positions oa
the team when spring breaks. The hard
est Job to fill will be that of catcher, as
Johnson, who so nobly swatted -the ball
and caught the baffling curves last sea
Son, will be fighting for a place on Frank
Chance's New York American league
team. Pa is dickering for a catcher and
if ho gets him Pa says worry not about
the backstopplng even though Johnson
will not bo here. . s
Contracts will bo mailed to the men
sometime after the first of January and
when the contracts commence to he sent
thn Pa will announce all hts new play
ers. The players will start to report the
last part of February preparatory to tho
trip to the southland for the spring
training.
Fans to Sen Wagner nnd Jackson.
Omaha fans will be given a rare treat
next spring before the season opens.
Rourke has booked exhibition games
with Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis
and Bt Paul, to be played here In Omaha,
Honus Wasper, Joe Jackson, Konetchy
and other of the major league stars, who
play with the Naps and the Pirates, will
bo here and will be seen In action on
the Omaha lot Pa will probably book
a few other exhibition gamca with other
teams so that more of the famous stars
will be seen here.
Many Improvements are to be made
at the park. A new club house Is to bo
built for the Omaha players, while the
visiting clubs will use the old club house
and therefore will jnot be subjected to
the Inconvenience of a ride to and from
the hotel and park In the almost his
toric careler van. The offices will also
be enlarged, some new fencing Installed
and tha press box, which will be .a min
iature of the Poo ground's press box,
will be erected on top of the grandstand.
The grounds will be r'egraded and lev
eled and new sod laid. After all the im
provements it will be one of the classiest
parks In the west and the diamond Itself
will be almost as perfect as tho con
summate skill of graders will allow.
