LOREN SOLON TO
PLAY ON DODGE
TEAMSATURDAY
Former Minnesota Fullback and
AU-American Star One of
Secrets lowans Will Spring
on Funston.
Loren Solon, former Minnesota
fullback, Ail-American choice and one
of the greatest foot ball stars of the
country, will play .on the Camp Dodge
team against Camp Funston in Omaha
next Saturday, according to advices
which trickled into Omaha yesterday.
This is the first intimation Omaha
fans have had that Solon was to play
with the Camp Dodge team. None of
the news dispatches or Loach urit
fith's communications with Vincent
Hascall of the Omaha committee had
contained any mention of Solon, and
now it is suspected the Dodgers may
have one or two more stars under
cover to spring for the first time when
they trot out on the field Saturday.
Dopesters who were -picking Fun
ston to wipe the earth with Dodge
are backing: up because of the lack of
knowledge regarding the personnel of
the Dodge team.
Solon played at Minnesota in 1915,
when the Gophers were the recog
nized class of the entire country. The
great playing of Solon was one of the
chief factors in the success of this
team. He was unanimous choice for
All-American fullback.
Griffith will bring 30 players to
Omaha. They will come in two spe
cial coaches as far as Council Bluffs
and continue to Omaha by automo
bile. The Eighty-eighth division band
will accompany the athletes.
Amateur Players
Start a Fund for
' Mrs, John Andrews
The Omaha Amateur Base Ball
association is creating a fund for Mrs.
Johnny Andrews, 17-year-old wife of
Johnny Andrews, well known Omaha
amateur base ball pitcher who died
of tuberculosis last week.
Mrs. Andrews and her 14-months-old
baby are destitute. All of their
money was spent for medicine and
medical attention for Johnny during
his illnes's. Even the furniture in their
little home was sold to obtain money
for medicine.
Mrs. Andrews is living with a
grandmother, but this arrangement
can only be temporary.
Directors of the amateur associa
tion inquiring into Mrs. Andrews'
condition found her penniless. The
12 directors started a fund by con
tributing $12, and they ask Omaha
amateur fans to contribute smaii
sums toward her support.
Contributions mav be sent to Mrs
Andrews through the sporting editor
of The Bee. 'Make checks payable to

some unknown reason, they were
cancelled by Nebraska, and the state
university basket ball manager has
so far made no overtures for thsi win

Tennis Solons to Gather
At New York December 7
New York, Nov. 24. The annual
meeting of the United States National
Lawn Tennis association well b held
in this city Friday, December 7. The
reports of the secretary, Edwin G.
Torrey, arfd several committees will
be considered and in this connection
one effect of the war will be noted in
the absence of any ranking of players
for 1917. Usually that committee re
ports at the December meeting, but in
keeping with resolutions adopted last
spring, no ranking has been made.
Chief among matters to be consid
ered is the disposition of the money
raised by subscriptions from clubs
and from the proceeds of the national
singles and doubles tournaments, as
well as exhibition matches conducted
on an elaborate scale during the sum
mer. Various other matters affecting
the association's policy for next sea
Son will be considered and, as the
committee at its August meeting de-
cidede to continue tennis activity in
1918, important recommendations
toward this end will probably be
adopted.
Governor Thomas E. Campbell was
a participant in the recent Arizona
rftate tournament.

WHY DID YOU MARRY YOUR WIFE?
She was charming. She was beautiful. She was efficient. She was
bright and happy. But so were many other girls of your acquaintance.
Still, she of all attracted you, and WHY? That is the' something that is
difficult to define.
And so it is with the Oldsmobile. It has all that other cars haveand
more. Just as your wife held charms for you that no other girl possessed,
so does the Oldsmobile "8" embody those dualities which' words can-
not express.

Company, foe.
Central High school closed its home
schedule yesterday, defeating Norfolk
35 to 0 on Creighton field.
Straight foot ball was largely used
owing to the cold weather, but Cen
tral nevertheless sent the oval on
several successful aerial flights. St.
Joseph alone is left to be humbled
efore Coach Mulligan's squad can .
claim undisputed Missouri valley hon
ors. The visitors were outclassed in
every department. Simkins, the Nor
folk captain, did some fine toe work
for his mates, but was far outmatched
by Maxwell's beautiful punting. Like
wise, in beef the locals had the ad
vantage, outweighing their opponent?
by . more than 10 pounds. Dcspiu
this advantage, the Norfolk team re-
Tpeatedly held -their line , and in the
second quarter were even sole to
start the ball toward the Central goal
posts, but were unable to. bring it
near enough to make a score pos
sible. ',
Noble wes responsible for threi
tochdowns. Maxwell played a bril
liant game in every way. Logan anc
Smith each played a fine game at half,
in fact every player ehibited a brand
of foot ball, which, if displayed
against St. Joseph next Thursday, will
surely give Central High valley hon
ors. I Schafer Goes Through.
Schafer, the heavy Central left
tackle,, smashed the line repeatedly,
making average gains of five yards.
Norfolk's best playing was done by
Rosenthal, who several times broke
away from Central's primary defense
and threatened to make a counter.
Two touchdowns were made in the
first quarter and one in each of ,th;
other three. Logan made the first
early in the first quarter Maxwell
kicked goal. Central High suffered
most, from penalties, which only
served to put the pep into the team
necessary to more than make up for
the distance lost,
Start for Goal Line. I
Norfolk kicked off. Central then
started one of its usual steady
marches to the goal posts, using
straight foot ball. Logan took the
ball over. Maxwell kicked goal.
Ivfaxwell kicked off to the five-yard
line, from whence the ball was car
ried anly 10 yards before Ballantyne
went down under a pile of Central
players. Maxwell returned Simkins'
punt 20 yards. A pass from Maxwell
to Noble gained1 five, which were lost i
by a penally. Norfolk then put up
such a stone wall tbat Central lost the
ball on downs. A punt by No: oik
and a 15-yard penalty removed the
ball from danger. The old Maxwell
to-Smith pass neted 10, . to which.
Smith added five by worming his
way through the Norfolk backs. The
aerial route was again used, this time
resulting in a score. Max kicked goal,
making the score at the end of the
first quarter, 14 to 0 m Central s fa
vor. . . ' '
Norfolk braced up during the sec
ond quartet and held Omaha at its
two-yard line until Simkins kicked out
of danger after a Central pass had
been intercepted. Things then started
going in Central's favor gain and
Noble carried the ball 32 yards for a
score. Maxwell's kick hit the goal
post, but luckily dropped over on the
right side. Norfolk held the Purple
line scorless for the rest of the half.

from dress to nightshirts.

the start of the second half and passed
it to Smith. Noble was called upon to
