BRINGING UP FATHER
VELL-I CUE?
T PRETTY LME-
Judgments
RING down, the curtain write "30"
on the 1915 foot ball season, and
also rlnit down the curtain
write 'SO" on the regime of the
Big Three. No longer does Har
vard, Prlnceon and Tale dominate the
gridiron aa they have In years gone by.
No longer can the eons of the Crimson,
Blue, and Orange and Black scoff and
ridicule those whose alma mater Is not
located In Cambridge. New Haven or
Princeton. For the little school which
for years suffered the annual Ignominy
fit severe trouncings by the Big Three,
has come Into Its own. And, again, the
college of the west which provoked much
mirth when It was suggested they also
played foot ball, have come Into their
own, and the follower of modern foot
ball has at last realized that the great
gridiron game Is played just as well. If
not better. In many parts of the country
other than Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New Jersey. Cornell Is chiefly re
sponsible for the new state of affairs,
for It was the Ithaca school which trailed
the Crimson to the duet, but to Wash
ington and Jefferson. Virginia Colgate
and Brown, due credit must be given for
their victories over Tale, even though
Ell was admittedly weak this year; and
to Pittsburgh, which walloped Washing
ton and Jefferson and took a stand on
the same pedestal as Cornell. Cornell
and Pittsburgh are in a deadlock over
the eastefn championship and the respqet
lve abilities of these two teams is excit
ing much discussion. To the westerner
Pittsburgh looks a little stronger, but
x ttsburgh'a eligibility rules permit four
years on the team and the playing of
freshmen, ' which is-not permissible at
Cornell and most other big schools.
This year It Is noticeable that eastern
foot ball critics are not declaring Cornell
and Pittsburgh as the two greatest teams
in the country. When Harvard or Yale
earned the eastern glories In years past
it was the custom to promptly proclaim
them champions of the earth. Mars and
Hoboken. But the easterners are a bit
more modest this year and do not say
much about the superiority of the east
over the west. For the easterner hss at
last discovered that the said superiority
is rather meager, to say the least, and
the number of challenges hurled at east
ern schools by western schools has served
to frighten them a bit. Michigan, with
very prospect for another poor team,
has declared its willingness to tangle with
Princeton. Cornell, Syracuse, Pennsyl
vania, or any other team In the east
next year. This year Harvard, with Its
strong 'team, refused to plsy Michigan
with Its poor team. Nebraska has In
vited both Brown ltd Syracuse to a
little gridiron fray, and Illinois and Chi
sago have offered to test their prowess
with the east. This manifested willing
ness to tackle the east has suddenly
made the easterners sit up and take no
tice and they arc hesitating overtime In
accepting any of these offers. And they
will be wise If they refuse.
Mr. Jess Wlllard, the young man who
"upheld the honor of the white race"
at Havana, last April, seems to be get
ting in very very bad with the boxing
publ'c. Mr. Wlllard has not taken part in
a fight since he won the championship
and is evidencing no Indications of do
ing so at an early date. He and his
crowd of, managers, personal representa
tives and towel swingers appear to
work on the theory that there Is one
born every minute and that It Is up to
them to get theirs from each and every
one born. They are said to have met
with good to middling success In the
east, but their efforts fluled miserably
In the west, where the birth rate Is
lower. It Is these tactics which have
prompted boxing enthusiasts to style Mr.
Wlllard as a Joke champion as they have
Freddie Welsh, Johnny Kllbane and a
few others who have shown marked abil
ity at chasing the dollar without the ex
penditure of too much energy in the
ring, and It la not very likely the at
tendance at Mr. Wlllard's next fight will
be overly large. The most glaring short
. coming of the boxing game is the peo
ple that are In It.
The bowling game Is making lots of
converts In Omaha th'a week. The Mid
west Bowling congress, the second largest
bowling congress In the country, is hold
ing Its ninth annual tournament in
Omaha, and the tourney has aroused In
terest in bowling to a fever pitch. Every
night, and even in the mornings and
afternoons, scores of spectators are on
hand to watch the pin tumblers In ac
tion. Some of the best teams In the
country are entered In this tournament
and they are showing the locals some
mighty fine rolling The enthusiasm with
which Omaha haa taken to the Midwest
event prompts local pin tumblers to fore
see the biggest and best city tournament
In the history of the game here. This
tourney will be held in January and it
Is expected that sxlty or seventy teams
will take part.
It Is to be hoped our city commission
read carefully the attendance figures of
the Ptecher-Hussane match at Lincoln
turkey day.
Tennis fans are very much exrltetl
over the ranking of the 1915 stars. The
east asserts Norris Williams hou' he

number one, while the coast says John
ston Is entitled to the honor. And there
is also a person named McLaughlin who
cuts some swathe In tennis circles. No
matter who Is ranked number one there
Is sure to be a dispute.
Charley White and his manager are
trying to force Freddie Welsh to meet
Charley over the long route for the
lightweight championship. Charley and
his manager can chase Freddie from
Nicaragua to Vladivostok, but as long
as the Chicago boy packs that "perfect
punch" In his left mitt they will find
Freddie several miles ahead of them.
Foot ball experts are making a des
perate effort to award the honor of the
greatest coach of 1916 to some of the
mentors who have turned out winning
teams this year, and they are having
little success In making an agreement.
We might mention a chap named Stlohm
as a candidate.
Will we have peace In base ball or
will we not?. A casual Judgment taken
from appearances on the surface is that
the old fight will be continued for an
other year by the major magnates, who
seem bent on making business for 'the
base ball undertakers. '
Omaha will see its first inter-clty soc
cer game today. It is to be hoped
Omaha will patronise the game, as soc
cer is a good, clean sport which should
be encouraged. ,
And speaking of Tip we wonder will
he be on the Nebraska governor's staff of
colonels again.
Now that Tip O'Neill has retired one
stove league fight is oft our hands.
Comes from Pacific
Coast on the Same
Set of Auto Tires
Climbing the steep grades on the hill
streets of Council Bluffs In an automobile
equipped with tires that rolled across
mountain and desert from the Pacific
coast to the Missouri without ever once
requiring an Instant's attention was the
unusual experience of a lot of Bluffs
and Omaha newspaper men yesterday
afternoon. The trip was made for the
purpose of demonstrating the newest
practical thing in automobile tires the
Lambert Airless Puncture-proof tires.
E. Ellsworth Robinson, general sales
agent of the Lambert Multlplus company
of Oakland, Cat., manufacturer of the
tires, and principal stock holder In tho
company, is making the demonstration.
Jle arrived yesterday and became the
8ucst of his old friend, former Mayor
M. F. Rohrer. The test of the tires is
being made on a new 191 Btudebaker
car owned by Henry Marshall Olmstead
of Bait Lake City, who is the general
agent for the Lambert tires at that
point. Although they stopped at the
Fontenelle hotel in Omaha, both gentle
men were ttyj guests yesterday of Mr.
Rohrer. ii.fi
The tires sfood the severe strain of the
long Journey apparently without appre
ciable wear and not the slightest injury.
Mr. Rohrer, who has become an en
thusiastic automobile driver, has become
so much interested in the Lambert tire
that he has secured -th general agency
for western Iowa, and although the com
pany Is about five months In arrears in
filling Its orders, he expects, by reason
of bis friendship and long acquaintance
with Ita promoters, to be able to promptly
fill all orders.
Tests have shown the tires will run
40,000 miles and will last the ordinary
lifetime of a car by being re-treated
after running each 10,000 miles.

WHY INTEREST IS LESSENED
By FRANK QI IGLKY.
Although It is difficult to determine
why Interest In local Independent foot
ball has decreased this season, neverthe
less, such Is the case. Just recently the
football devotees woke up and startled
the locals by manifesting unusual In
terest In the two names staged, on which
hinged the championship, namely, the
Monmouth Park-Columbian tussle and
the Nonparlel-Columblan battle. The last
mentioned quarrel proved the best at
traction of the season, and the largest
crowd was on deck to witness It.
As far as the Interest Is concerned
among the local learner egg manipuia
tors. It has Increased far beyond the
expectations of the dopesters, because
many extra teams have been organised
this season. Probably the crabbing so
common In the Independent football has
something to do with the deficit In Inter-
est to spectators. i inei. rq

crowd. If climatic conditions are favor -
able, will undoubtedly be on hand at
Luxus park today, to witness the
struggle for football supremacy between
the Nonpareils, champions of Omaha and
WIsner. the champions of the state. To
date this season, the Nonpariels have
scored approximately 150 point, and
their opponents failed to register, and
their team will be stronger today, be -

play. The score was nothing to nothing
when these gents flirted with the under
taker. Fitch, of the Nonpareils, playing
with the Columbians, while running In
terference, was bumped by two Dunlap
men square on the bean and knocked
unconscious. He did not . recover his
senses until two hours later, and lie must
have parallsed his vocal chords, for he
haa not spoken a word alnoe the ac

Player's Lear Broken.
Just about the time Fitch went around
the corner In a gas cart enroute to the
doctor's office, Chauncey, the borrowed
man, was found prostrated on mother

be carted away. With the nine gents left
the Columbians did their best, but they
were unable to hold the strong Dunlati
boys during the last four minutes.

The young catcher got up leisurely,
yrwned and strolled toward the spot
where Smith doffed his armor. He took
rbout ten minutes to get into his shin

game and the fans were yelping like
wolves about everything In general.
Finally, the catcher got to the breast

Australian Pug
Has Bad Luck in
Working Holdups
NEW TORK. Nov. 27. Leg Darcy. th
Australian middleweight sensation, seem
to be In danger of losing favor with
Snowy Baker, the promoter, who enjoy
a monopoly of boxing In the Island con
tinent. In a letter mailed Just before the
Darcy-Clabby bout Baker accuses Darcy
of attempting to find an excuse for back
ing out of his engagement to meet Eddla
McOoorty In a return match. WhaJt par
ticularly riled the promoter was that In
order to find an excuse for sidestepping
McOoorty, the Australian demanded am
extra S per cent or tne gate receipt,
which was a heinous crime In Baker'i
estimation.
According to the promoter Party first
sgreed to meet his former victim at
catchwelghts, then he changed his mind
and Insisted upon 1 pounds, the middle
weight limit In Australia. After some
argument McOoorty consented, and then
Darcy made his Oliver Twist demand
for more money. Baker waxes very In
dignant over this, explaining that it has
always been his custom to give the box
ers 60 per cent of the receipts and no
mow. Baker says that he flatly refused
Percy's demands and that his stand in
the matter was backed up by alt the
sporting writers, many of them accusing
the native son of being anxious to avoid
McOoorty. v
