ARMY ATHLETES
ARE TO BATTLE
IN BASKET BALL
Infantry of Fort Crook on Floor
of University of Omana Gym
Are to Meet Balloon Men
of Fort Omaha.
Army and civilian basket ball fans
who have been following the Fort
, Omaha-Fort Crook teams, scheduled
tt meet on the University of Omaha
floor Christmas night, are looking
forward to a big game, they say. The
predictions are that the event will not
only be the biggest athletic contest of
the day in Omaha, but that Omaha
will see the best cage game in many
years.
A stiff prlctice schedule has been
followed by both teams for the last
two weeks. The final training this
week has assumed an aspect of real
work. The soldiers are going into
the play as though they were charg
ing' against a German unit. They
are tough, caring for neither falls,
collision or slams.
Conquerors So Far.
At the first preliminary practice,
Monday night the Fort Crook in
fantry seemed to have a little advant
age over the northern camp men.
Nevertheless, Charlesworth, the Fort
Omaha leader, is not discouraged over
the prospccts.of his men. He admits
that his rivals showed a slight degree
of superiority, but he accredited that
to circumstances. The balloonists
have been compelled to practice on
the lawn court, even in severe weath
er. Consequently they have not had
as many practices. Even with such
odds the final contest will be hard
fought on both si les.
The overwhelming defeat handed to
the Fort Crook foot ball team on
Creighton field fast fall by the Fort
Omaha warriors is adding much pep
and interest to the basket ball contest.
The Fort Crookers are determined to
get 'even with their enemies.
Conquerors So Far.
The Fort Crook five selected from
ten company teams have been very
torious this season in basket ball.
They claim that they have conquered
every quintet that has been met.
Although the University of Omaha
is said to have a good team, it took
no effort on the part of the army five
to humble them to a score of 31 to 9.
The score with the Bellcvue team was
too large to mention.
Fort Omaha has been ecually suc
cessful with its games, but has not
played so many. The last practice
between the two forts teams was held
at the Khaki club Wednesday night
when much improvement was shown
on both sides. Fans say that the
two teams were more evenly matched
on the last occasion.
'."' Big Crowd Expected.
Dr. D. E. Tcnkins, president of the
University of Omaha, is making spe
cial preparation for the Fort Omaha
Fort Crook game. Believing that it
will draw a large crowd he has ar
ranged to accommodate 500 spec
tators.. University students are supporting
the game financially and otherwise.
All the students have agreed to be
present and cheer the game along.
A committee of the young men will
t wait upon the soldier players while
they are in the gymnasium.

BANDITS (WB
BANK, MAKING
HAVLOF$5,000
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 21. Three
masked bandits swooped down upon
the People's State bank at Seven
Corners, one of the busiest spots in
the down town district, today, forced
officials and clerks into a vault at
the point of revolvers and escaped
with $5,500.
The robbery, one of the boldest in
the history of the Twin Cities, oc
curred during the rush hour.
Hundreds, of people were in the
Seven Corners' district when the
three bandits surprised bank em
ployes. ' Two policemen were chat
ting outside the bank while the
money drawers were being rifled.
J. P. Ernster, president of the
hank, was one of the officials forced
into the vault.
After cleaning out the money draw
ers in the cashier's cage the -bandits
walked leisurely out onto the side
walk, stepped into a waiting automo
bile and escaped before the police
men knew a robbery had occurcd.
Cleveland, O., Dec. 21. Bandits
held up and robbed the East Sev
entieth street branch of the Garfield
Savings bank this afternoon and es
caped with $15,400 in money.
The robbers, numbering eight or
ten, walked into the bank and) cov
ered the seven men and three women
clerks with revolvers, scooped up all
the mony in sight and after firing sev.
eral shots in the air, presumably to
frighten off pursuers, escaped in an
automobile.
The driver of the bandit automo
bile was captured by the police an
hour after the robbery. The driver
said the robbers hired him to drive
them to the bank and that he did not
know their identity.
Kennedy States His Position
On the Literacy Test
John L. Kennedy says he was mis
quoted in the newspapers on the occa
sion of his discussion of the literacy
test for citizenship before the Ne
braska Farmers' congress in Omaha.
1 did not say that a man s.. ,uk
he required to read and write the lan
guage of the country before being
granted citizenship," said Mr. Ken
nedy. ''My record is clear on that, for
when the bill was up in congress I
opposed the literacy test and iqsisted
mat the language test be applied in
stead. I do feel that a man should he
able to speak a little of the language
of the nation before he is given full
citizenship. .

THREE POUNDS
OF SUGAR MONTH
PERPERS0N
'Three pounds of sugar per month
per person is what Food Adminis
trator Wattles of Nebraska suggests
as a fair average to be consumed, in
order not to augment the sugar
shortage. He makes the request that
people seek to limit themselves to
that amount. This would mean 12
pounds per month for a family of
four.
, The law permits persons to buy a
60-day simply at any one time, but
Mr. Wattles asks that consumers re
frain as much as possible at present
from taking advantage of that 60-day
clause in order that the present avail
able sugar supply may be sufficient lo
tide the country over until the supply
becomes greater,
He asks that grocers limit sales
to five pounds at a time to city and
town customers and 10 pounds to
rural customers who have not the
same ready access to the stores that
the town people have.
