LOST REES TROPHY
Omaha . Team Battles Valley
" Five and Elements, to Win
Back Treasured Cup.
, GEORGE REDICK HIGH GUN
The Charles Rees trophy, muchly
hcrished and treasured cup symbolic
of the team trap-shooting chanipion
hip of Nebraska, once more reposes
within the strong box of the Omaha
Gun club.
The Omaha Gun club team yester
day battled "both the Valley Gun club
team and the elements to regain the
trophy lost to the Valley marksmen
last year and they returned victorious.
The Omaha Gun club team turned
in a score of 397 against the Valley
team's count of 370. As 500 targets
were shot at, these scores do not
look very formidable. The average is
(ess than 80 per cent. But the young
blizzard which swooped clown on
Omaha yesterday afternoon was re
sponsible. The wind not only almost
froze the fingers off the shooters, but
sent the targets flying in all directions,
up and down and at every angle. The
marksmen might almost as well have
been working with a joker trap.
George Redick was the high gun of
the afternoon. He cracked 88 out of a
possible 100 blue rocks. Carl Blake
followed with an 86. All of the rest
of the shooters fell below 80.
The Valley club intends to return
to Omaha when the weather becomes
more pleasant and attempt to recap
ture the prized trophy. - '

Omaha High Trims
University Place by

Omaha High won from the Uni

14. The game was a hair-raiser
throughout and the winner was in
doubt until the final whistle blew.
Omaha, with Paynter out of the game, 1

ever seen on the ' Y" floor. The first
half ended with the score standing,
10 to 6, in favor of University Place.
Omaha was unable to get points, with
the ball going tantalizingly close dn
numerous occasions. University Place

Beauty.
There is an old saying that beauty
is only skin deep, but that is far from
the truth. Beauty is founded on good
health without that there is no real
.beauty. You can cover up a muddy
or sallow complexion with face pow
der, but it will rtpt be beautiful. A
homely woman in good health is usu
ally more interesting and more charm
ing than a bilious, dyspeptic beauty.
Constipation and a sluggish liver im
pair good looks. If you are troubled
in this way take Chamberlain's Tab
lets and you will soon be looking bet
ter and feeling better.

Next Opponent of

Marin Plcstinajs next opponent
probably will be 1 Charlie Cutler of

Following his victory over Freddie
Beell at the Boyd theater Thursday
night Plestina challenged Cutler to a
bout. Cutler replied to the telegram
by wiring "name the date." Plestina
has submitted February 12 for Cut
ler's approval and it is believed Cut
ler will accept this date.
Cutler, it will be remembered, is'
the man who, by getting trimmed,
made a name for Joe Stechcr in
Omaha two years ago. Stechcr threw
Cutler, then "termed the American
champion, in twenty minutes.
The Chicago grappler ranks high
among the wrestling stars of the
country and if Plestina can throw
him, as he did Beell, the Omaha man
will have made his reputation as one
of the best. Plestina hopes to be
able to throw Cutter as quickly as
Steelier did. The match will be held
in Omaha. ' "

Omaha Shooters to
Battle Law Cutting
Out Quail Season
Omaha hunters and shooters are
planning to give battle to the pro
posed state law which will entirely
prohibit quail shooting and shorten
the grouse shooting season to one
month. v
A bill has been submitted' to the
Nebraska legislature which confines
the open season on grouse to the
thirty days between October 15 and
November 15. Quail shooting is now
only permissible for fifteen days and
the bill cuts this limited time out.
Fred Hamilton is the leading spirit
in organizing Omaha shooters to do a
little lobbying at Lincoln against the
proposed bill. The Omaha shooters
point out that the grouse hunting
never becomes good until November
15 and that it is ridiculous to close the
season on that day. The local nim
rods would also like to have the quail
season extended instead of abolished.
