WANTS MELADY TO PUT ON MIX
W. II. Barton, the man who staged the
B tech er-Le wis match tn EvansvUle, Ind
Is In Omaha wtth a Greek 'Ysaeler" In
tow. The said Greek anrwra to the nam
of Kuvaros and be aspires to tackle Jo

Barton Invaded St. Joseph after leavinr
'Eavnsvllle and he scheduled a match be
tween Btecher and Kuvaros for next
Thursday. He pot on a couple of other
matches In Joe town to test the sentiment
of the city and decided St Joseph was
about ready to enter the hands of under,
takers so he cancelled the match and
blew the xlllare.
He came up to Omaha for the purpose
of a conference with Gene Melady. He
wants Melady to staro the Btecher
Kuvaros match In Omaha or Council
Bluffs.
Barton says the Greek will give Steoher
a tough tussle, although, of course, the
odds would be for victory by the Dodge
lad. "I think Kuvaros would make
fltecher' work harder than any of the
other fellows he has wrestled and I be

If Barton can't ret his man on with

Harry was away BUI got Into a muss
with a colored sport and was slashed on
the leg with a raior.
After quite a run the cops caught the
slasher and brought him to the police
station. Smith had to Identify the man
first before charges could be placed
against him, so they rushed over to
Smith's hotel and brought him back' to
the station house.
The lieutenant at the desk mltted Smith,
then ordered the colored carver brought
forth from the coop. He stood before
the desk. Smith was on the other side
of the room.
"Is this the man who cut you with a
rasor, Mr. Smith T" asked the lieutenant
with a stern look.
Mysterious Will walked over to where
the dusky demon stood, hauled oft and
knocked the latter flat with a right on

association, to all players who competed
in sanctioned tournaments during 1915. .
It is estimated that more than $.000
racquet wielders competed In 143 tourna

National Lawn Tennis association, yet
but eighty-six singles and forty-two
doubles record blanks were returned to
the committee. Aa a result a portion of
the ranking had to be done upon unoffi

but a small proportion of the tournament
players evince any desire to supply the
committee wtth the necessary data for
ranking purposes, other methods for
recording the progress of tennis competi
tion will be adopted before the 191$ sea

W. Camp Knows Nebraska Exists;
Puts "Halligan" on Third Team
For many a year Sir Walter Camp,
the opulent Oracle of the east who an
nually selects alleged All-American foot
ball teams and soma way or other gets
'em printed In Colliers' Weekly, has been
the butt of all of the Jokesmlths, paragra
phers and hidden of the west. Sir Walter
Camp has always been regarded aa good
as Henry Ford and William Jennings
Bryan as food for cutting and sarcastic
squibs. He baa always been good for
one laugh a year.
But Sir Walter has been cruelly mis
judged out bera In the west. Sir Walter's
heart Is In the right place and be means
well. It has been said by doubters and
sooffers that Walter Camp does know
the state of Nebraska Is In the United
States. But this is a rank Injustice to
the Intelligence of Mr. Camp, who la
perefectly aware Nebraska Is In the union
and who has nothing but the kindest feel
ings toward the state.
Mr. camp has this .year proved he
realises they grow and make foot ball
players In the Cornhusker stale. He
placed one of them at a tackle on his
third All-Am erl can team this year.

SOUTH SIDE HOPES ARE HIGH
Coach Pattern's Basket Ball Quintet
Is Looking Forward to a
Brilliant Season. ' y
EXPECT TO LOSE 0KLY ONE GAMS
At least one game wilt tha South Side
High school basket ball team lose this
fait Three famous alumni stars, Morris
Cohn. Paul Shield and Herb Stryker,
have combined ta give tha high school
sra a walloping and they probably will
make good. Cohn played forward on tha
undefeated Chioaga Tiger team of five
years back and also on the Wisconsin
university five last year. Shield Is . the
well known center on tha Cornhuskers
quintet while Stryker played center for
the famous University of Chicago flv
last year. All are In trim and ready for
the battle on the night before Christ
mas. Except for this single game the Pack
ers are expectantly looking forward to a
great year. Captain McBrtde of last
year's five expressed the opinion that
they are as strong as -last year and will
undoubtedly gain strength In the future.
All of which looks good te tha South
Hide rooters, whose brilliant prospects
before the tournament last year, were
crushed utterly by Injuries to tha plsy
ers a week before the opening.
University Plaos, York. Nebraska City,
Beartice, Auburn and West Point ar a
few of tha headline attractions that Coach
Pattonjhas on his schedule at present
Auburn captured the championship ot
southwestern Nebraska last year and
having the same team this year, la anx
ious to meet the local eleven. Nebraska
City has practically the sama team as
last year and having taken consolation
honors at that time will be much gtrengei
this year.
Captain Nixon and Bott ar the only
surviving member of last year's five.
Bott Is showing up especially strong at
guard, while Graham and Corr are sure
satellites at the forward positions.
Arthurton and Shalnholts wl.l make
hot fight for the other guard position,
probably alternating durlug the season's
i.lay.
