Lincoln, March 9. (Special.) Two
Big aurprisea were furnished in the
final round before the semi-finals of
the Nebraska atate high ichool basket
oau tournament here today in the
elimination of Crete from the Class A
contender! by Geneva and De Witt'i
decisive defeat of Minden, who had
been expected to carry away the Class
t C championship again this year with
practically the same team that won it
last season.
i Hard Fight With Fremont, .
Omaha had a hard time with Fre
i mont, 'the Dodge county lads taking
the lead in the first half, but Mulligan
shifted his lineup and with Faynter
replacing Maxwell at center and Max
well taknia: Konccky's place at guard,
the Central High five forged to the
front.
With a score of S to 4 for Fremont
i a the first period, Mulligan'! team
. held their opponents to a solitary field
goal and free throw in the final chap
ter and piled up nine points. Clyde
Smith cut loose with two beautiful
goals from field at the opening of the
second half and Logan contributed
another. .-
tbig oat the University Place five.
Cypreanaon played i wonderful game
- for the Red and Black five and was
all over the floor.
Geneva Beat! Crete."
Geneva beat Crete by simply hug
ging; "Lea" Frumdell, the star Crete
foal thrower, during the entire game,
rumdell'i few shots at tie basket
missed by only a hair.
In Class A t seems practicaly cer
tain Lincoln and Omaha will go Into
the finals Saturday night. Both team!
are heavier and faster than their op
ponents, although Columbus is the
more dangerous.
In Class B, Hardy looks good for a
championship, although Clearwater
A and West Point are hard-lighting
fives and may upset the dope,
Minden Fall Downs.
De Witt'i stunning performance
against Minden, Class C class cham
pion in 1916, gives it the edge for
Class C honors. The De Witt five
played a fast and accurate game Fri
day morning and Siller, Salem and
Alexandria will have to play better
basket ball than they have so far to
survive.
Of the surviving teams in the
tournament, Columbus, Clearwater,
West Point, Swanton, Hardy, De
Witt, Diller, Salem and Alexandria
are earning; the first taste of honors
in competition against 120 teams.
None of these fives has managed to
tick until the closing rounds in pre
vious tournaments.

Want State, Not County,
To Pay Prisoners' Fares
The law passed by the legislature
compelling the counties to pay the
costs of taking prisoner! to the state
penitentiary troin the places where
they are sentenced is to be tested in
a suit to be filed by J. W. Bar
nett, auditor in the county clerk'a of
fice' on. behalf of the county .
' Following a consulation with the
county attorney Auditor Bunett said
that the state will be sued for $1,-
083, the total amount expended ill
taking prisoners from Douglas county
to Lincoln from July 1, 1915, to Jan
uary , 1917, the date former Sheriff
McSliane went out of office. The law
went into effect July 1, 4915.
According to Auditor Barnett fully
75 per cent of the prisoners sen
tenced, to the state penitentiary here
are transient! and not residents of
Douglas county. County officials be
lieve that the burden, of tailing them
to the penitentiary should fall upon
the atate. ;
Do Not Think Width of
Right-of-Way Will Be Cut
Officials of the Union Pacific le
gal department are not worrying
over the bin before the Nebraska leg
islature proposing to cut in two the
width of the railroad right-of-way
through the state.
The proposition to cut the width of
the Union Pacific right-of-way has
been before previous legislatures of
this state, but has never been passed.
Members of the company's legal de'
partmtnt take- the position that the
width of the right-of-way was estab
lished by the congressional lad grant
ind road's charter from the -govern,
ment more than fifty years ago and
that at this time it is a matter that
is not up to a state legislature to de
termine. .

BRAHDEIS FIGHT
FOR LOST LAURELS
Meet Oreighton Quintet in Sec
ond Game of Series Be
tween Local Champs.
C0LLEOIANS HAVE EDGE
The Brandeis Stores, holders of the
city and state independent basket ball
championships, will make a fight to
night to retain their place as the
strongest basket ball team in the
state.
They will 'meet Creighton univer
sity, state collegiate champions, in the
second game of a series for the city
title, the first game of which was
won by Creighton last' week. The
game will be played at the Creighton
gymnasium and will start at 9 o'clock,
in order that employes of the Bran
deis Stores mav see the frame.
Hard practice has been the rule for
the merchants aince - their defeat r.t
the handi of Creighton last week, the
first ever administered by a local
squad. Captain Ritchie said today
that he would offer no apologies if
his team was defeated tonight, as they
are at last in tne pink ot condition.
Wagers of 2 to 1 on Creighton were
made early in the week, but the odds
were withdrawn when a flood of Bran'
dels money was produced. Support-
frs of the merchants believe their
pride suffered such a blow at the last
defeat that their determination to
get revenge will result in a victory
tonight.
Should the Brandeis lose it will be
the first time that Warren Ritchie
and Les Burkenroad have played on
any but a city championship team in
the last eight years. These two have
formed the nucleua for all of the
championship teams in recent years.
. Burkenroad has not shown the form
this, season that set him in a class by
himself in the last few years. There
is a possibility that this man, often
called the greatest basket ball player
Nebraska ever produced, will not even
start tonight's game, as the Brandeis
team have been ttrying out two new
lorwards, both youngsters, one ot
whom has beerr groomed to take
Burkie'i place. The names of the
new men will not be disclosed until
tonight.
One thing is certain that the store
men will present a changed lineup.
Ritchie, a guard, will be at a forward
tonight, and either Hager or Shields
will fill his guard position.-
Officials agreed upon for the game
are Bud Kearns, referee, and Earl
Hawkins, coach, of York college, um
pire. J. L Orkin Must Make
One More Buying Trip
J. L. Orkin of Orkin Bros , 1519 and
1521 Douglas street, will leave Satur
day evening fo another trip to New
ork, wnere nc will buy more reaoy-
to-wear goods for women.
"1 waa down to New nork only a
few weeks ago and thought I had
bought a large stock, which 1 did, but
since moving into out new store,
which has three floors, the stocks
have been going so fast that I must
make sonic more selections. I expect

Good Samaritan
Gives Bicycle to
Lad in Distress
There has been much sorrow in the
young life of Roland Hanon, West
ern Union messenger boy, the sole
support of his mother and four
younger brothers. But a smile lighted
up his earnest face Friday when i)e
got a bicycle from Charles Rhodes of
3224 Dodge street. Once again the
lad was able to speed around the city
on business for the company whose
meager salary to him must feed and
shelter six persona.
To Roland a bicycle is almost as
indispensable as a store is to a mer
chant. Consequently he was grieved
when, in a' recent collision with a
coal team, a horse stepped on his
wheel and demolished it. He got
another "bike," however, and when
thu one was stolen he was not only
sorry but he was mad. He told his
"ma about the theft of his bicycle
and she urged, "Never mind, Roland;
you win get anotner one. nave a
little faith and a little patience."
And true enough was his mother's
prophecy. Thursday night Mr.
Khoaes telephoned the nee ana an
nounced that he had a bicycle which
he would gladly give to "that plucky
messenger boy."
"There's one bum tire on it, but he
can have that fixed and I will pay for
it," said the Samaritan.
Roland is supporting a neat little
home at 627 South Twentieth itreet
He and hii ma and the rest of the
family moved here recently from a
small town in Iowa and Roland has
been the head of the household since.
The father of the family deserted his
wife and home a short while before
the Hanone became Omahana.
tallest Soldier
In United States
Joins Army Here
The tallest soTdier in the United
States army, so far, as is known to
local recruiters, has just been en
listed through the Omaha recruiting
station. He stands six feet six inches
barefooted, and his name is William
. Pickens, son of Mrs. Hattie M.
Pickens of Auburn, Neb.
Sergeant Hansen, who has been in
the army so long that he has almost
lost county of the years, says he neveu
Detore saw or neara ot sucn a tan sol
dier under the American flag. The
giant is only 18 years of age, and still
growing.
In fact, he is expected to grow con
siderable, at least in weight, other
wise he would not have been ac
cepted for-enlistment. He weighed
10J pounds, although the army stand
ard weight tor a man of his height is
211 pounds, A special waiver had to
be secured from Washington before
fickens could be sworn in. the forty-eight
pounds of weight that he
lacks will probably be "put on" by
Fickens within a comparatively short
time, Sergeant Hansen believes.
. Although it was suggested that the
young giant be assigned for duty as a
flag pole or a wireless tower, he was
finally sent to Fort Logan for train
ing in the quartermaster's department.
Cornstalks are not the only tall things
Nebraska raises, according to Ser
geant Hansen. -
Brass Thieves in
-Act of Jacking Up
Car Are Nabbed
A new trick in brass thievery was
uncovered Thursday evening when
railroad detectives surprised three
men, who gave their names as John
Thaman, 1807 Leavenworth street;
Vollie Care, 902 North Sixteenth
street, and Ed Miller, 1149 North
Nineteenth street, in the act of jack
ing up boxcars at Thirty-fifth and
Valley streets, to remove the brass
journals.
I he railroad detectives arrested the
above three men, but a fourth mem
ber ot the party made his escape. The
railroad officers callled police head
quarters, who dispatched Officers Sut
ton, Cunningham, neil and Arm
strong to the scene. They pursued
the man to Nineteenth and Nicholas
streets, where they fired several shots
at him, but once more he made his
escape.
Police declare this fourth man who
has so far eluded capture is Fred
Barry. .

Omaha Bankers Ready
. If Their Country Calls
The Omaha chapter of the Ameri
can Institute of Banking held a spe
cial program at its club rooms in the
Loyal hotel Thursday night Mrs.
Erne Steen Kittelson gave her lecture
oh "Art and Expression" and recited
several selections to exemplify her
talk. Because of the imminence of
war at this time the special order of
the evening consisted of three-minute
talks by the members of the club, in
which they expressed their ideas as
to the most telling service that they
might render their country in case
of war being declared. The prevail
ing attitude was that the day of the
jingoist had passed and that the mem
bers of the institute, while not pre
pared to render much service as sol
diers, would be long on Offering them
selves to the service if need be, but
short on parades and munition demon

BELLEYUE LOSES
TO COYOTE TEAM
Ooes Down Before Nebraska
Wesleyftn Five, Twenty
Six to Fifteen.
v
TEAM .WORK ALL AROUND
Bellevue went down in a hard
fought game before the Nebraska
Wesleyan basket ball team Thursday
on the Bellevue floor. The final score
was 26 to 15, six of the Coyotes'
points being made on free throws.
This was the onlv came scheduled
between the two teams this year and
will close the basket ball season tor
the local team.
Wesleyan assumed the lead at the
very first of the game, but lost it
before the initial period was half over.
Although the Indians put up a stiff
defensive game from the start they
were a trifle slow in locating the loop,
with the result that the visitors caged
the first three baskets from almost
mid-floor. The local tossers then took
the upper hand and by a series of
short passes succeeded in overcom
ing the margin already established.
Captain Allen chalking up two field
goals and the same number of free
throws, Racely one and Shatnholz
two field goals, Bellevue was in the
lead by the close margin of 12 to 11
at the end of the first half.
Come Back Strong.
The Coyotes Came back strong in
the second period, finding; the loop
at five different times for field goals
and as many times for free throws.
After a hard fight lasting fully half
of the second period, with neither
team marking up a single goal, the
Bellevue team took a short layoff,
which proved fatal to the home play
ers, the Wesleyan tassers succeeding
in making eight or ten points in rapid
sequence. The last few minutes
found Bellevue on the aggressive
again and th. strong team work of the
visitors was broken up, Allen land
ing a field goal and one free throw,
the only points made by the Indians
in the last half, which ended with
the Coyotes the victors by a margin
of eleven points.
Teamwork was good on both sides,
but the Coyotes being the taller, had
the jump on the Bellevue flippers
and succeeded in picking Bellevue's
long passes right out of the air almost
as often as the pass was tried. The
local teams' strength was in their
short and lotv passes, which were
easily made right under the Weslev-
ans' noses. Fouls were almost evenly
divided among the two squads. Belle
vue 'making six and the opposing
team seven.
Reserve! Take Game.
As a preliminary to the Weslevan
game the Bellevue Reserves defeated
the South Side Lutheran church team
in a snappy game. Score, Bellevue, 4;
Lutherans, 0. Glen Williams made
both of the goals for the Indians.

Eastern Giant Shows Fair Ex
hibition of Holds in Trav
esty on Wrestling.
DODOES MARIN PLESTINA
John Olin, the giant who recently
was awarded a decisions, over Joe
Stecher in a wrestling bout at Spring
field, Mass., perpetrated an awful
parody on the mat game Thursday in
Council Bluffs' auditorium. He did
some good ground tumbling and some
fast footwork. Also, with the kind
aid of John Freburg of Chicago, he
gave a fair exhibition of some wrest
ling holds. But it was a wicked
travesty on sporting fans to call the
affair , a wrestling match.
Olin is a mountain of a man, quick
on his feet and apparently has the
qualifications of a real wrestler. In
his movements he reminds one of
George Hackenschmidt, the big Rus
sian from whom Frank Gotch wrest
ed the championship, Joe Steelier
should defeat him in straight falls or
the Nebraskan was suffering from
rheumatism, gout, lumbar j and old
age. 1
It took Olin twenty-five minutes
and twenty-seven seconds to pin Fre
burg's shoulders for the first fall. It
took him thirteen minutes and twenty-nine
seconds to down the Chicago
an the second time. '
In the preliminaryrjack R ynblds
of Omaha won two straight falls from
Joe Hill of Canada.
Olin's manager sidestepped a chal
lenge from Martin Plestina of
Omaha, who appeared in the ring
with a certified check for $1,000 to
Show that he meant business.
"You will have to see our booking
agent in Chicago," was the reply
Plestina got The crowd hooted this
evident evasion of the challenge.
