who has been Identified with boxing and
wrestling enterprises for a score of years.
Is at present engaged In the most arduous
undertaking of his protracted career; and
If he succeeds he will be looked upon aa
the savior of Caucasian hopek.
The estimable Mr. Curley has Imposed
upon himself the task of bringing the1
world's heavyweight championship back
to the white race; and he has the back
ing of no less a persona than Jess
Wlllard. Curley hss been commissioned
to bring about a match between Jack
Johnson, the maduro rhsmpinn of the
cumbersome boys, and Wlllard, and the
cowboy has pledged himself to conquer
the obnoxious Mr. Johnson at all costs.
The match Is virtually assured, as
Johnson has named his terms, and they
have been met. Curley Is at present In
. tl Vt'K M WV m . r.
from a gama that waa rather unlnterest-' Indon. where he Is endeavoring to have
Ing and marked by only a few spectacular
open plays to a gama replete with open
and spectacular plays.

urtlclea for the championship match. And
Curley should have little difficulty In at
taining that end. ''Curley Jack" left
country will finish the eesson with btg-j these shores Just two works ago with a
MP oroflts than ever before. The three
big colleges Tale, Princeton and Har
vardwill have a bulky net profit, due
to th fact that tha Harrard-Prlneeton
gama drew 40.000 persons, the Tele
Prtncetoa game about 42.000, and the
Tata-Harvard gave over 70.000. Tha spec-
rorrelt, articles of agreement, and a
fountain pen beside oth"-r accoutrements,
so that all that remains to clinch the
bargain Is for Johnson to subscribe to
the parchment.
Oa Still Ilant for Match.
While Curley Is loaf'ng around the war
Utor paid W each to sea those games, so bulletins, and craning his neck at th
It, may ba seen that tha total proceeds
from these three games alone were over
1300,000.
Professionals Are Better.
One thing that the season has proved,
and that I that the professional coaching
system Is better than that of graduate
coaching.
. Harvard pays Percy Haughton some
thing ilka 17.000 for his three months'
work, and ever alnc Haughton haa been
coaching Harvard tha Crimson eleven has
been considerably among those present
Tal hired a coach thla year, and Tale
thla year haa ahown better form than
any of tha Tale teams for tha last four
or five years, when th amateur coach
ing system was In fore.
Princeton haa graduate coaches, and
Princeton's showing this year shrieks
against . the graduate coaching system.
Michigan baa a professional coach. It
haa had a professional coach for many
yean In the person of "Hustle 'em Up"
Tost, and In all those years Michigan
mythical Zeppelins In foggy London, an
other member of the Wlllard syndicate
la on a still hunt for a site to stage the
championship match. We will go on
record by naming Juarex, Mexico, aa tha
place where Johnson will be dethroned,
and soma day In January or February
next aa the time of Johnson's destruction
aa a ring champion. We go on record
without fear or trepidation, as we have
Jack Curley word for It that the bout
will take place In tha place and at the
time aforementioned.

LINCOLN, Nov. . 8peclal.) With
the close of the 1914 foot ball season
today, Coach Jumbo Btichm and Manager
Guy F. Reed have already turned their
attention to the HU5 schedule.

Hunkers will not stop at any of th east

not have produced more of a "nigger

Athletic Sports
Are Student Help
If Rightly Used
. i
In connection with the announcement of
the date of the-next annual meeting of
the National Collegiate Athletlo associa
tion, to be held at Chicago December 29,
the association has Issued a statement
regarding th right and wrong views of
athletic sport In part it Is as follows:
"Athletlo sport. If honorably and wisely
conducted, can hold Its own in any In
stitution of learning, but to gain a posi
tion of dignity it must be saved from
many of Its friends and maintained on so
high a level that no reasonable1- man can
question Us value. Rightly administered
it strengthens the weak, , improves the
weak places In the strong, clears the
brain, teaches boys and young men to
respect their bodies and to know the re
lation of a clean, vlgoroua body to an
active mind and aa honorable life. Rightly
conducted It Is a school of. manly skill,
courage, honesty, self-control and even
of courtesy; wrongly conducted It Is a
school of bad manners, vulgarity, tricky
evasion, brutality the Ideas not of a
sportsman, but of a sporting mau.
"We are constantly told that In Eng
land men play for the sake of playing,
whereas In America men play for the
sake of winning. The more serious tho
question of winning, the more serious
the need of winning honorably. Sport In
America la not mere fun: it Is- a test of
character, and nothing that makes tho
player less a gentleman belongs to it
The foot ball player who wantonly In
jures his rivals, the baa ball player who
persists In shouting to rattle his oppo
nents, the school boy or student who
takes money for summer base ball and
conceals the fact should be put oyt of
the team. Nor should any achool or any
college have secrets as to the legitimacy
of Its athletlo representatives."
:By r. s. mvhteb:
out the man being set to catch It would
Increase the chanoa of tho ball telng
grounded or falling Into th hands of th
opposition.
However, la rebuttal, we'd tike to aay
that throwing a ball at a certain spot
where th end Is supposed to bo and not
at where he really 1 at th very second
, the throw la made, would not appreciably
Increase th fatlur to th play. Th
. average now Is only one successful for
ward pass in six. The averaa probably
would b thre In six If tho quarterbacks
got rnto th habit of throwing th ball
' to th receiving end th way catchers
' throw to bases when baa runners are
'' stealing throwing not at the man who Is
' to tak th ball, but throwing to th spot
wher be Is scheduled to be at tho mo
ment tho ban arrives at tbo target

A perfectly good obituary of Larry Mo
Lean is making the rounds, in which
Larry confessed to thirty summers, but
to no more. "If Iarry's only 80, I have

man. recently. Larry and "Mitch," both
of them, used to pitch to the Harvard
batsmen over in Cambridge almost that
long ago.
Omaha is to be well provided for In tho
line of amusement on Thanksgiving day,
at least from the standpoint of Sport.
Three big events are scheduled for that
day In addition to the myriad of lesser
occurrences.
The Omaha Automobile Speedway will
open Its gatea for the first time Thanks
giving. Mogy Bernstein and Jack Prince
promise a series of Interesting events.
The biggest attraction will be the speed
test of the big racing cars which will be
put on the triple radius track. Two of
the biggest anl most powerful of racing?
machines will attempt to lower track
records and Prince and Bernstein be
lieve that they will be successful. Tha
track will be but twenty feet wide fo"
the Thanksgiving day program, but next
year another thirty feet will be added.
The motorcycle, riders, who have beert
riding at the Stadium Speedway will
compete In a carl of racing on the bl
track. It Is hoped by the management
that the riders can be Induced to ride a
long race, but in any event the schedule
promises to be Interesting.
To I.oop-the-I.oop. .
One of the brightest features will be the
aerial work of Art Smith, the Fort
Wayne aviator. Smith Is said to be aa
clever at looping the loop In an aeroplane
as L)ncoln Beachey. Smith will loop over
the city the day before the meet If he
can get his machine here In time.
In addition to Smith, Charley Peters
and Ralph MoMlllen, the aviators who
have been at the Stadium Speedway, and)
Charles Osborne, a new comer, will give
exhibitions In the air. With four ma
chines up. Including one which can make
the loop, the aerial feature should be
about all that could be asked.
Oa the Gridiron.
Creighton and South Dakota will play
the last big foot ball game In Omaha
Thanksgiving. South Dakota Is one of
the fastest teams In the west and Omaha
fpot ball fans never fail to see some re
markable playing when the Coyotes work
here. While the Dakota lads are ex
pected to trim the Blue and White
Coaches Dudley and Miller promise that
their charges will give a good account ofi
themselves.
Omaha High school and Lena Tech ie
the third event of the day. That gam
will be played at Rourke park.
With the speedway opening, the Crelgh-ton-South
Dakota battle and the Omaha
Lane Tech tame and the Innumerable
smaller eventa, Omaha will not be lack-
Ing In sport amusements Thanksgiving.'
