When Earl Caddock of Anita, la., meets Wladek Zbyszko, the Polish wrestler, at the local Coliseum Friday night, it will bring together two of the fore most contenders for the heavyweight wrestling championship of the world. The match will be a finish, catch-as-catch-can, strangle hold barred, and two out of three falls. sThe recent victory of the giant Pole over John Olin, the Finnish mat man, in their New York match, gave the former considerable prestige to add to that he attained in winning1 first place in, the tournament in that city. . Caddock won his claim to the cham pionship through his victory over Joe Stecher of Dodge, Neb., and has suc cessfully defended that claim against manjr promising aspirants, including Yussiff Hussane, the Bulgarian who recently was defeated, in New York by Stecher. . Wrestling critics of the middle west have generally declared Caddock the successor of the late Frank A. Gotch, who, after Caddock's victory over Stecher, indicated he was satisfied to let the title rest with the Anita, la., man. Caddock' claim quite naturally has been disputed by such wrestlers as Zbyszko, Strangler (Ed) Lewis, whom Zbyszko has defeated; Stecher, and! others, and followers of the mat game expect the outcome of the Zbyszko Caddock match to clarify the cham pionship situation. NAKENS DEFEAT BLOOMER GIRLS IN PRETTY. GAME The Nakens, the, champion amateur basketball team of Omaha, last night defeated the College Girls' five in an evenly contested game at the Audi torium by the score of 11 to 9. It was a snappy, hard fought bat tle from start to finish, but the supe rior weight of the boys team proved an obstacle the girls were unable to overcome. i There was an even break on long shot baskets from the middle of the floor, but the throwing of the boys was a little more accurate at close range. The girls wore bloomer suits and in the close work were quicker than the boys. Occasionally there was a spill, but , gallantry marked the conduct of the winners, who invariably - prevented their opponents from falling hard. The lineup of the girls' team was: Miss Mills, left forward; Miss Bur ton, right forward; Miss Foster, cen ter and captain; Miss Dixon, right guard; Miss Porter, left, uard. DEORO DEFEATS CHALLENGER IN BRILLIANT PLAY ,' : Chicago, Feb; 7. Alfredo De Oro, 'overcame a 12-point lead and defeated Augie Kieckhefer of Chicago, 50 to 42, tonight in the first block of their - match for the world's three-cushion billiard championship. De Oro ap parently hopelessly oeaten for more than half of the game played in won derful form at the end, scoring 23 points in 20 innings. The game went 5 innings, De Oro geeting a high run of eight and Kieckhefer one of six.' De Oro was extremely nervous at the start and relied on his safety play to pull him through, but the Chi cagoan made one phenomenal shot after another from apparently impos sible leaves and at the 40th inning led, 34 to 22. His playing in the early in nings was the most sensational seen There in years, putting him into the king row first, the score standing 40 to 36 at the 55th inning in favor of the challenger. ' De Oro tied the score at 40, then ran eight and made two single shots. Central High to Play V .Sioux City Saturday Central High's . last game on the siome floor for several wuks will be played against Sioux City Saturday night at the Young Men's Christian association gymnasium. The Sioux .City five held Lincoln to a close dur !ing the game between the two teams (last Friday. Although a victory for ' Central may easily be predicted, a good game is promised the home fans before the Central High team takes the road. The game will be the last opportunity for Central High - sup porters to get a good idea of the team on which they are counting to win the aeason'a honors. Wieldin By FRED S. HUNTER. f ONIGHT at Des Moines, Earl Caddock and Wladek Zbyszko will tangle in- a little jollification with the world's championship at stake. You can write your own tick et. The dope all points to a Caddock victory, but you never can tell in the wrestling game, especially when Jack Curley happens to be manager of the gladiator slated to go under. Curley is smoother than a high ball glass and slicker than a Broadway chorus lady and Earl will have to travel far. fast and furious to both dump the Pole and outwit his manager. At that, it s an eight to five bet, Curley makes capital out of the match no matter what the result. - Incidentally, this is the match Carl Marfiai tried to land for Omaha, but hit the high spots for the tall and un cut brush when Des Moines offered to charge ten bucks a seat and get it. 'Tis said the receipts for tonight's joust will reach $25,000, perhaps $30,000. , It's just as well Des Moines was honored because Omaha will get to see Caddock and Ad Santel, which probably will be a better match front the spectators' standpoint anyhow, and there will be no $10 seats. The Retort Terrific. 'TF THE honorable hammer wielder once saw the Sioux City midgets perform, he would back the woppiest bunch of tossers a deaf and dumb in stitute for the feeble minded and physically unfit could turn out and be sure of a score for his proteges that would make John D.'s income tax look sick, barks the young high school syort Scribe whom we so cruelly chided the other day for pre dicting an easy victory for. Central, in harsh rebuttal. Which unequivo cal expression of confidence leads us to hestitate and recall that we once had a bet on the Giants against the White box. . Obliging less. JESS WlLLARD, in all seriousness, nuiivmivt.il v- iTtiiiiifj j nam either Fulton or Dempsey, Jess no doubt speaks the truth, but it js sate to presume that he expects to be recompensed and Jess" ideas of com pensation are entirely out of propor tion with the wartime slogan of con servation which recognizes figures of more than $50,000 only when steel battleships, not human gunboats, are mentioned. Only Way He'll Get There. VON HINDENBURG says he'll be v ' in Paris by April. By this we take it that the estimable potentate of the clan of Hohenzollern must have made up his mind to surrender. Moran-Fulton Bout at New Orleans Postponed Denver, Colo., Feb. 7. Postpone ment of "the 20-round bout between Frank Moran and Fred Fulton at New Orleans from February 22 to the 25th, was announced here yesterday by Mike Collins, Fulton's manager.

Creighton, 27; Camp Dodge, 13. Before a crowd which taxed the local gymnasium to its utmost the Creighton quintet drew first blood in the opening engagement of the tri angular basket ball tournament at the Creighton gym Wednesday by defeat ing the soldiers from Des Moines can tonment in the fastest and most ex citing ctmflict waged on the Creigh ton floor this season. The contest was cleanly fought throughout. The superiority of the blue and white five became more evident as the game ad vanced. Mills' men had the Dodgers outclassed on teamwork, speed on the floor, and accuracy iri locating the basket. There was not a man on the Dodge team under six feet in height. "Chuck" Kearney reigned as the un disputed star of the evening. Kearney shot four field goals on the dead run and neatly dropped one in from be neath his basket. He also threw five out of a possible eight fouls. Closely rivaling him was Ed Haley, the diminutive little forward of the blue and white team. Beside his lengthy j guard on the Dodge five he looked like a pigmy, but nevertheless he suc ceeded in breaking away several times and made four field goals. i The Score. CREIGHTON. F.CI. F.T. P.P.

"1 n.ust not tell you our position in the convoy or how . the various ships were formed, but you may take it that all that other boats have got through so far as I know. "As for ourselves, well, the Huns succeeded in getting only a fraction of our fine fellows in addition to our boat; but if they have, they have put the iron into our souls and we will be ready to repay them when the chance offers. "Monday was a wild night. Had the disaster occurred during a gale, I don t like to think of what would have happened. But Tuesday evening was calm. Ordered on Deck. "The first intimation we had of possible danger was an order for- all men to go on deck with life belts. It was about 4:30 o'clock. At the same time we sharply altered pur course. At 6 o clock, just as the darkness was setting well in, we got the blow. Nobody saw the periscope nor could one have been seen well. Some sol diers described having heard a hissing sound immediately before the torpedo struck us in the engine room. We were instantly disabled. All the lights went out. An order rang out sending the troops to their boat stations and to get the lifeboats out. The shock was not severe. "It was more of crunching-in feel ing that went through the ship than of a direct blow. "There naturally was a good deal of confusion. You cannot lower a score of lifeboats from the height of an upper deck in the darkness with out some confusion, but at no time was there a panic." Mate Describes Explosion. Thomas Smith of Glasgow, a boat swain's mate on the Tuscania, said the steamer was proceeding to an English port under convoy. At 5:4a o clock on luesday eve ning," he continued, "I was in No. 1 room talking with a fellow boatswain when I heard a terrific explosion and felt the vessel keeling over. I said to my mate: "They've got it now.' "We commenced lowering boats on the starboard side. "The -soldiers were lined up on deck waiting for the boats. Unfortunately, many jumped over board. - "I found the boat at No. 9 station, to which I had proceeded, had been blown to pieces. I then helped to get boats 9-A, 9-B and 9-C away with full complements and the second offi cer got boats 1 to 7 safely away. Saved 14 Soldiers. "After seeing these launched, I pro ceeded to the other deck, where- I launched a raft. "I picked up 14 soldiers and two of the ship's company who were swimming about. "We had no oars and had to paddle along with our hands. "We were picked up at 9 o'clock in the evening and landed Wednesday morning. "The first survivors were landed at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday morning. From then uiit!( 7 a. m. many patrol boats arrived, each bringing a full complement of survivors, the number by that time had reached 550, includ ing 40 members of the crew. "All the medical men at Lame, on the eastern coast of 'Ireland, where some of the survivors were landed, were reauistioned. The behavior of the greater part of the soldiers and members of the crew was splendid. A few of thera became excited, hindering the lowering of the boats. In some cases the crews were thrown out while the boats were being lowered. Other boats were let down hurrtedlr. There was sufficient time for the removal of all those on board the Tuscania, as it remained afloat for about two Hours after being tor oedoed. The ships were within sight of land, which was just distinguished in the dusk of evening when a torepdo hit the Tuscania amdiships. This was about 7 o clock. Roosevelt Resting Easy. New York. Feh. 7.

GOVERNMENT TO GUARANTEE HUGE SUM TO ROADS Bill Reported in Senate Will Give Railroads Fair Return on Investment Under Fed eral Control. Washington, Feb. 7 Chairman Smitfi of the senate interstate com merce committee in reporting favora bly to the senate today the admin istration railroad, bill estimated that under the measure's provision the government will guarantee annually to the railroads of the country $945,000, 000, which will represent a return of 5.3Z per cent. This, he says, "reflects neither pov rtw nor riches." hut the committee believes a majority of the railroads will accept tnese terms as a jusi ana fair measure of their constitutional rights. An agreement on, the bill was re ported by the committee last Satur And Now .1. III l li " Closed 'during unpleasant weather j j I I Ti!i!!lli!!M!lliUllIi, I day, but minority reports are to be submitted by Senators Cummins and LaFollette. Administration leaders plan to call the bill up for consideration next Monday. "Your committee is of the opinion that this is the time for war emer gency legislation and not the time to settle the many controversial and vexed questions concerning our fu ture transportation policy," Chairman Smith says in prefacing his report. He then takes up the compensation section and adds: "About 7 great operating rail roads do over 90 per cent of the rail road business. The committee be lieves that most of these great rail road carriers will accept these terms as a just and fair measure of their rights. Companies Pay War Taxes. "Section. 1 further provides that ordinary taxes, national and state, shall as now be paid out of operat ing revenue; but war taxes accruing under the act of October J. 1917, are to be paid by the companies out of their own funds, or charged against the standard return. "In other words, the holders of rail road securities are to bear their own just portion of the war burden. "Section 1 also requities that each agreement shall contain- adequate and appropriate provisions for the main tenance and depreciation of the prop erty and the creation of reserves so we cordially invite you to a special exhibition of the latest types of Cadillac cars We have practically every type for immediate de livery and have several of these in unusual color combinations.

"There has, of course, been much discussion as to the fairness and jus tice of the proposed amount of the standard return. , The rights of owners must be tested by present conditions not by some theory of capitalization never made operative under federal or state law or generally followed by the courts." Chairman Smith explained-that in case of controversy over compensa tion, the bill permits-an sppeal to the courts of claims. The committee recommends, the re port says, that improvements made by the government, while the-carriers are under government control, shou'd go to the railroads when they arc returned to the security holders. ' This should be arranged through an agreement between the carriers and the president. Council to Take Up Fire Apparatus Matter Friday The city council will take up the fire apparatus discussion ' Friday morning at 10 o'clock.- The commis sioners will consider the proposition of asking five practical automobile men to assist in preparation of speci fications to be submitted to bidders on fire trucks.
