BLUE AND WHITE
TRIUMPH OVER
VESLEYAN CREW
Creighton, Minus Vic Spitler,
Uses Stellar Tactics and
Fairly Overwhelms Meth
v odist Quintet.
Creighton, 36; Nebraska Wesley
an, 12. ' "
Before one of the largest crowds
of the season, Creighton basket ball
quintet triumphed over Coach Kline's
Nebraska Wesleyan crew at ' the
Creighton gym last night, by an over
whelming score.
The contest was marked with fast
work on the part of both teams.
"'Chuck" Kearney was undisputed
star of the evening. He scored 24
of his teammates' points. Kearney
took Vic Spittler's place at center
and consistently outjumped the tall
Warren, much to the chagrin of th?
lanky Wesleyan center.
Play of both Kline's men and the
Blue and White was rough. Due to
repeated fouls committed by the local
' team, Wesleyan was able to chalk up
12 points, ten of which were gained
by fouls thrown by Warren. Only
one field goal was made by the Min
isters, the team that held the star
Camp Funston basket ball squad, 30
to 19. And the local five defeated
the much touted Wesleyans with Vic
Spittler,- one of the, fastest men, out
of the lineup on account of small
pox. . x
v Show Fin Teamwork.
'' Mills put Berry in again at guard,
and Mullholland occupied Kearney's
usual forward position. ' Althougn
the usual well oiled machinery of, the
Omaha five was not so much in evi
dence last ht, Berry played a stel
lar game. . .
The Wesleyan crew showed flashes
of real speed at times, but the team
work of the Creighton five proved
too much for the Ministers to over
come, and they found themselves un
able to get under the local's basket.
Vandever and Berry both spoiled re
peated attempts toy Keaster and Car
men to take the ball into Creighton
territory. Warren put tip the best
exhibit.en for the visitors.
In a scrappy preliminary game to
the big contest of the evening the
Creighton High school five decisively
trimmed the fast School of the Deaf
floor squad, 30 to 9.

J Creighton basket ball five, which
has vanquished every team it has met
this season by large scores, will meet
two teams worthy of its caliber when.
Camp Funston and Camp Dodge both
come to Omaha February 7, 8 and 9,
for a triangle basket ball tournament
at the Creighton gym. The Camp
Funston five has already earned a
name tor itself by trouncing all
comers, Camp Dodge included. But
Dodge has been practicing strenuous
ly, according to Coach Griffin, . and
intends to give the Funstoneers a
battle royal when they meet again.
Camp Funston recently defeated the
strong Nebraska Wesleyan five, and
the Cornhusker quintet. Leslie Bur
kenroad ofOnaha, and stellar per
former on the' B.andeis Tive last
year, is a star forward on the Fun
ston team. Hodge tnd Dakin have
also made reputations for themselves
on the army floor squad. V
Creighton probably will meet Camp
Dodge on the ' first night, Camp
Dodge and. Funston will collide on
the second night and Creighton will
tangle with the winner of that contest
on the third night.

The evening meal shall be the

Dy uuraon w. wattles, federal food

United Mates food administration
stipulated that the meals should be
set by the state administrators.
Other suggestions of Mr. Wattles
are: . , , . .
A rigid adherence bv retailers of
the rule asking: the scllinoof a oound

of wheat flour sold.
nil immediate ana patriotic re
sponse by the consumers of Nebraska
and a hearty co-operation with the
retailers in this provision.
"Less Days In Hotels.
Richard Kitchen, assistant chair
man ot the Hotels' and Restaurant
Men's committee of the state, supple
ments the days set by the adminis
trator and urges every public eatinar
place in the state to rigidly observe
the meatless meal and wheatless meal
each day tnd emphasizes the evening
meal as wheatless and the noon meal
as meatless.'
Administrator Wattles also urjr
every householder in Nebraska to vt
mediately make the new conservatio
program effective, observing the twi
wheatless days, Monday atd Wednes
day: the ,mcatless das. luesdav: th
porkless day, Saturday, and 4he meat
less ' and wheatless meals each da
rigidly and to begin today.
, Give Rules to Retailers. '
Thenew provisions regarding the
sales of substitute flours with wheat
flour will be sent to every retailer in
the state'at once with the urgent de
mand that they comply with the regu
lations. - t
t "Thet nevr regulations show how
imperative it is that we observe them
to the last letter," said Mr. Wattles.
"Mr. Hoover and his assistants in
Washington have worked out this
program, after careful study, based on
the needs of our associates in the war
and of our ability to supply them.
"The warring countries and their
peoples must have 100,000,000 bushels
o wheat between now and the next
harvest; 'they must Tiave 70.000.000
pounds of meats - each month'. We
have to furnish them or they won't
be furnished. We are supplying these
from stocks actually in hand, which
means that the rations, of the Ameri
can people are to be cut that much.
Must Eat Substitutes.
"The only way we can supply and
we are supplying is to save the
amounts and the only way to save the
amounts is not to eat them, but to eat
substitutes instead. ,
"We must realize that we have a
var to win and that ,food is the es
sential factor in winning this war.
Men and munitions will be worthless1
if they are not backed up with plenty
of substantial foods; j ,
"This food supply is -a serious busi
ness and we must realize it. It must
and will be furnished if we have to go
hungry, but there is no need for any
one going hungry. All we must do is
to adjust ourselves to this program
and we can do it without sacrifice or
detriment to ourselves."
That every hotel and restaurant in
the state should inaugurate the. pro
gram and carry it out faithfully is the
urgent appeal of Mr. Kitchen. .
"For the noon meals we can easily
substitute roasts of chicken and other
fowl and fish and not handicap our
selves one bit, and for the evening
meal we have so many flour substi
tutes, which meet with general satis
faction, that we can adopt this plan
with benefit to ourselves and with the
general approval of our patrons," said
Mr. Kitchen.
"Hotel and restaurant men need no
other jtotice than this, although we
will followwith a general letter out
lining the new program. But I hope
every hotel will hafe a wheatless day
today, another . Wednesday and a
wheatless meal each evening, a meat
less day Tuesday, a porkless day Sat
urday and a meatless noon meal on
each other day."

Rev Fred Clark Declares the

"The Christian church today needs

Clark yesterday morning at the First

on "Jolly Religion."
'The church today is made up too
much of gloomy-faced adults," he
said. "It is- too self-centered, nar

"Laughter will make us better'
christians. I believe that Christ be
licved in laughter. When he told
the people 'Ye strain at a gnat and
swallow a camel' wasn't he speak
ing with delicious humor?
Laugh and Prosper.
"Dr. Russel H. Conwell, the great
preacher-lecturer, tells of 'the laugh
ing earthquake." He-says there was
once a barren island near Japan. Not
a bit of soil or, vegetation was on it.
One day there came a great earth-
tiuakev which rolled all the barren
rocks into the sea and left a stretch
of soil the most fertile in Japan,
And up out of the earth came a gas
which made the inhabitants - laugh;
laugh, laugh. And those people be
came the most prosperous in Japan.
"The loss of the ability to laugh
precedes insanity. In a certain asy
lum which Dr. Conwell visited he
Ijeard a great burst of hearty laugh-
user, lie inquired of the attendant
Aether this man could be insane

Religion, Jolly.
"Our religion is meant to be jolly.
We must have less narrow controver

little doctrinal controversies away,
That is the only way to get rid of
them. Recently . John u. Kocketel
ler, jr. made an addressjn which he
said he befieved the Baptist church
could be made broa1 enough to take
in all other denominations. For
saying this he brought down an ava
lanche of denunciation on himself.
His father, wbo had been gouging the
public for years, is considered by his
church to be eminently all right sim
ply because he has been immersed.
"I am thankful to Mrs. Eddy for
tapping this great wellspring of joy
and health that is the Christian re
ligion. But I refuse to give her sect
or any other a monoply on joy and
laughter and health from religion.
These things belong to all denomi

DR. SECORD WRITES
OF BIG EARTHQUAKE
Former Omahan, Now Mission
ary in Central America, De
scribes Scenes of Terror
in Guatemala.
For more than 20 years, Dr. Carlos
F, Secord, a former Omaha boy, has
been a medical missionary and prac
tjcing physician in Central America,
most of the time in Guatemala. He is
now located in Chichiastenango, 50
miles from the city of Guatemala,
practically wiped out by two earth
quakes, one of which occurred De
cember 25, last year, and the second.
January 3, this year. Writing to his
mother, Mrs. E. N. Secord, this city,
Dr. Secord tells of the earthquakes,
saying:
v "I have just returned from Guate
mala City, which was destroyed by an
earthquake December 25. I was there
when there wasj another terrible one,
January 3, at 11 o'clock at night , The
earth rose up with most awful noises
as if some terrific force was knocking
from beneath. The movements were
not such as we are accustomed to feel,
but were furious and fast, like the ex
plosion of a1 subterrenean mine.
Ruined houses and walls were thrown
around like chatt and the entire city
lies a heap of ruins. The earth was
opened, forming deep chasms, with
smoke coming from them. On foot
I left the city, and as I looked back,
Lot fashion, the entire plain upon
which the city was built, was smoking.
It is evident that a great volcano
is about to open in the center of the
city, or that it will be turned into a
lake of fire. Trees fell with the force
of the earth movements and the moun
tains above the city of Guatemala are
shattered into long chasms 'and no
doubt will topple over onto the plain.
All the towns, with the exception
of .Chichiastenango and a few others,
have been destroyed for miles' in ev
ery direction. People are living in
tents and in the open. -
"The United states marines reached
Guatemala January 4 and they had the
terrible experience of the awful thing.
Water mains were thrown out of the
ground 'and the water is running
down the streets. Dead animals till
the streets, and under the ruins of the
buildings no doubt there are the
bodies of many people who lost their
lives when their homes were de
stroyed. J.
"Even the cemetery is a mass ot
smoking ruins. Bodies have been
thrown from the graves. The city is
without lights and there is danger
everywhere. I escaped injury, but am
very nervous.
