Judgments
SO IT appears that the summer base
ball player is not to be permitted
to play foot ball at Tale or Minne
sota. This la aa It should be, and
this statement . la made with all
due regard to the arguments that have
been advanced In favor of the proposition
that it is no more harmful for a young
man to sell his talents as an Athlete than
It Is for him to engage in writing or
waiting on table, or other form of re
munerative occupation to earn money for
his uses while attending school. The
harm does not rcBlde in his engaging in
any sort of employment for pay; It Is In
entering In competition with others under
the pretense that he Is not unduly pro
ficient In the form of contest proposed.
In other words, an athlete who is good
enough to command pay is an unfair
competitor for one whose skill Is not so
developed. This point has been deter-
ined after long and careful considera
tion, not so much on the actual physical
as on ethical grounds. The professional
athlete Is necessarily under something of
limitation as to certain of the higher
factors of competition that must always
be given due weight when college sport
Is considered. On this point there Is no
room for dispute. The lack of full ap
preciation of the exact quality of re
sponsibility Is shown by the fact that the
young men in question, knowing full well
the rule against their conduct, sought to
conceal their identity under assumed
names and after violating the rules laid
down, came back and sought to proceed
as members of their respective college
teams, deceiving by their actions those
about them. If dishonest on this point,
on what can they be fully trusted? Our
schools are failures If they cannot instill
the reasonable essence of common
honesty into the students. And this
means that a player cannot be a profes
sional in the summer time and an ama
teur in the winter.
Choosing a president for the Western
league is Just now the game, with sev
entrles, one of whom Is Frank Zehrung
of Lincoln, well known all around the
circuit and elsewhere, for that matter,
as a sucoessful business man, a theatrical
manager of experience and good repute,
a former mayor of Lincoln, and a real
enthusiastic worker in any game he goes
into. If the Western magnates are sue
cessful in the Jarring loose of T. O'Neill,
hey can easily go farther and fare worse
than by choosing Frank Zehrung. It
isn't so darned certain at this time that
they're going to get rid of Tlperlno,
though, for the Denver papers hint that
Jimmy McGill is weakening in his stand,
and Hughey Jones is said to be selling
out to Ducky Holmes, and If these moves
come to pass. Tip will have five teams
and the other fellows three, and then
where are you?
Another wrassler has bobbed up in New
Tork, and proposes to get the champion
ship by the easiest possfble route. He
wtll challenge Gotcn, and in event of
Crotch not responding, will claim to be
world s champion. As Crotch Is not likely
to go into the ring with any of the brood,
having really and truly retired, this way
of getting to be a champion ougnt to
result in quite a crop,
Joe Btecher went all the way to Evans
vllle to get Into a foot race. He might
have had more fun following the Ford
along the country roads in Podge county.
He found out, though, that he hasn't
learned all the crooked turns in the
wrestling game. What he has to find out
Is Just how crooked a man can be, and
then he'll be a ltttle more cautious about
entering matches.
Marty Krug has one pretty good man
ai
ni
agerial idea, and that la shown in his an
nouncement that nobody has a Job on the
Omaha team. He's going to make 'era
produce right from the turn loose or look
for new employment If he'd taken that
stand last April, the Omaha team would
have been much higher up the pole at
the end of the season.
Tou've got a mighty good chance today
to see the best of the big league teams
in action, and if you don't go out to
Rourke park. It's your own fault if you
have to go through the winter grouching
because you didn't.
One thing is pretty certain, and that I,
no matter who gets on the match with
- Jess Willard, it won t be Jim Coffey.
Tank Moran has answered that ques
tion. Brother Dave has the old stove steamed
up, but not at high pressure these day.
Me's looking for a good winter.

HUSKERS FEAR THE AGGIES !
Ames Team Has Provoking Way of
Playing Best Against the Ne
braska Squad.
PLAY AT AMES NEXT SATURDAY
By JAMES K. LAWRENCE.
LINCOLN. Oct. 23.(8peclal.) Ne
braska's first game away from home,
with the Ames Aggies at Ames nexi
Saturday, will be one of the two crucial
battles for the Missouri Valley confer
ence championship. Jumbo Stlehm's
Huskers are not going to bump Into any
soft snap, for the Aggies will present a
lineup which Includes nine out of eleven
veterans, two of whom were selected for
All-Missouri valley honors.
In addition, the "miracle man" of east
ern foot ball, Mayeer, the former Wash
ington and Jefferson star and tutor, Is
at the helm at Ames. Mayser Is ex
pected to put the finish on the wonder
ful material which Ames has with which
to deliver the winning punch. He was In
charge as coach of the wonderful Wash
ington and Jefferson eleven of 1914.
which, although It had a student body
of but 800 to draw from, pummeled the
Tale "bulldog" and fought old John
Harvard to a standstill and a tie score.
Gophers Are gtronar.
Ames' early season defeat at the hands
of Minnesota is not taken seriously In
the Cornhusker camp. Dr. Williams Is
said to have the greatest team at Minne
sota in years, while Ames went into the
battle with four veterans badly crippled.
3everal times the Aggies carried the ball
within the shadow of the Minnesota goal,
only to fail with the necessary punch
to carry It over, while the Gophers were
fortunate In the use of the forward
pass.
Ames has had a provoking habit of
playing its best foot ball against the
Huskers. The Aggie have sent more
cold thrills down the spines of Nebraska
rooters since Jumbo Btlehm took charge
of athletics at the husker Institution
than any other Missouri valley opponent
Reeling off a touchdown in the first
quarter last year, the Aggies had the
Cornhueker rooters In tears until the
final quarter, when a marvellous Ne
braska offense was uncovered and four
touchdowns lipped off In rapid succes
sion. Ames had no substitutes to re
place the battered regulars and undoubt
edly lost for lack of first string men.
Huskers Their Goal.
Coach Mayser is pointing his men for
the Nebraska game and figures that a
victory over the Huskers will be honor
enough for one season. The Iowa school
will make the Nebraska game "home
coming day?" and also the official open
ing of the new stadium which Ames
went to great expense to construct. Sev
eral hundred Ames' alumni will be on
hand to aid with awe-inspiring rooting
In defeating the Huekers.
Nebraska's eleven will also have some
vocal support, for Reed has been In
formed that a big excursion will ac
company the team east. Several hun- j
dred Nebraskana will Journey to Ames
and the band will be taken along to
help out in the noise.
Central High May
Play South Side
on Turkey Day
It is now practically certain that the !
South Hii?h-Central High school foot ball j
game will ne scneauiea tor inannMiyiiif,
at Rourke park. The shewing made by
the South team against Council Bluffs,
which game was played to a tie, al
though the packer team registered twice
as much gained yards, has made It appar
ent that Patton'a eleven will make a
strong bid for the state championship this
year. '
Girl Swimmer from
Coast in Big Meets
Miss Marguerite Brack of San Fran
cisco, champion girl swimmer of the
Pacific coast, is in New York to spend
the winter, and will take part in most of
the season's indoor meets.
Her appearance in competition will be
watched with interest. Although her best '
sprinting performances do not compare
favorably with those of Miss Olga Dorf
ner of Philadelphia, the American record
holder, she has to her credit a quarter
mile mark of 7:08, which brands her as a
most dangerous rival at the distance te
the speediest fair natatora of the coun
try. The presence of Miss Brack in the im
portant metropolitan contests will give
them national rank, for Miss Dorfner is
also a promised starter.
NED EGAN MAY MANAGE
THE SIOUX NEXT YEAR
Report in Sioux City has it that Ned
I Egan may become manager of the Kloux
j next year. Harry Gaapar finished the j
i season as manager after Josh Clsrke was
deposed, but It is not the expectation that
he will be retained. Tom Downey, for
merly of Kansas City and who finished '
the season with Little Ro k, elso is Ulked

Unless some dashing lightweight boxer
can wrest the title from Freddie Welsh
by July 4, next, the champion will auto
matically retire. In order to give some
one a chance at the crown, Freddie has
offered to box four men between now and
Independence day.
"I think there are Just four men who
have a right to be called contenders,"
says Froddle. "I will not name them,
but will let 'the public do that."

Tommy Burns and Richard Klegin
Both Following Champ Around
with Big; Chunks of Kale.
ANY KIND OF MILL ALL RIGHT
NEW YORK. Oct. 23. Everybody Is try
ing to Induce Jess Willard to "defend his
title," although Just why any one should,
except for financial reasons, would
puzzle King Solomon.
Tommy Burns, who runs the largest
boxing club in New Orleans has been
following Willard about trying to sign
him up. Bums wants Willard to fight
Frank Moran twenty rounds with a de
cision. The Garden promoters will also prob
ably offer Willard some sort of a guar
antee or percentage to fight Moran.
Richard Klegln, the "Parlslsn promoter,"
who made the Johnson-Wlllard match
possible, but wbo was gently Jltsued out
of his share of the profits thereof, has
Just returned from a trip to Oklahoma,
where he offered Willard $30,000 a his
share of the purse to box ten rounds, no
declslon, with Moran or Jim Coffey here
In New York. Wlllard's manager told
Richard that he has a "chance," but that
Tommy Burns has been promised first
opportunity to offer as much money as
Willard wants for fighting again.
Willard prefers a long fight to a short
one. In a long fight his enormous bulk
will be of even greater assistance than
in a ten-round affair. There Isn't a man
In the ring today who could let Jess lean
on him for a few rounds without
crumpling up uae a ,.iece 01 g.ngeroreaa of th tory nugh, ,martlng under this

LONG TOM HUGHES QUITS
Long Tom Hughes is believed to be one

but handed in his resignation. Tom may

When the Angels started on their last

their custom, flipped coins to decide

lottery and found Scotty Flnley occupy

Br FRANK qmnLRY.
Four of the local sandlot foot ball
battles scheduled last Sunday were can
celled. Two of these games were carded
for the Douglas county fair grounds and
over 600 fans were disappointed by the
failure of the leather egg manipulators
to appear.
Sudden postponement or cancellation of
games is bad for the game. It particu

soon quit their support of the game if
teams persistently call off games.
Whenever you foot balllsU announce a
game in the papers, keep the engage

Next Sunday out at Rourke park the
Columbians, champions of Omaha, will

has been the champion of eastern Iowa
for eight years and, according to its
manager. It has a stronger team than
ever before this year. It has only lost
one game In eight years, that to the Su

played In Omaha. They will come to

Omaha Fans Expect Stecher Will
Meet Tough Opposition in
Americas.
SPECIAL TRAIN FROM HERE
That Joe Stecher will encounter 'tha
toughest opposition of his career when
he attempts to pin the shoulders of on
Amerlrus to the mat In Lincoln Thurs
day, Is the Judgment of Omaha wrestling
fans who are planning to take the trip
to the Capital City to witness the event.
Amertctis Is somewhat of a different
proposition from the grapplers Btecher
hr met and defeated. Charley Cutler and
Adolph Krnst are probably the best two
men the lvdtie phrnnm has dumped and
the Unltlmore chap is regarded as the
superior of these two vanquished mat
artists. The Omaha fans are confident
that Btecher will put the finishing trachea
to Amcrlcus but they nntblpnte a hard
combat before the feat Is accomplished,
Amerlcus Is said to be the son of a
millionaire Boston contractor and hla
career has alt the touches of romance. He
first entered as an amateur, but found
that class too limited for him. He then
became a light heavyweight and quickly
won honors In that division y heaving
Freddie Hoe 11 twice in less than seven
minutes. Of late he has taken on weight
and even tops the scales at a higher
poundage than Btecher.

He Is fast as lightning and ha has a

will not find Amerlcus falling into any
traps and the Dodge youth will also very ,.
likely discover that Amerlcus will have
a little better defense for the scissors hold
than had Ernst, Cutler, et al.

TALK BATTING SCANDAL
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE NOW
There is Just the suggestion of a "bat
ting scandal" In the National league sim
ilar to that which caused the row In the
American when Lajole was allowed to
get his eight hits on the flnsl day In L
Louis. The intimation is that they were

field on the final day of the National
league race when he registered four hits
and thus took the lead in batting for 19
year.
