The Longeways in the first douple header of the series lost both games, playing way below their, usual form. Last Sunday they ap parently became used to the grounds and came back, winning their game from the Murphys.

Clyde Williams, director of ath letics, declares the institution will be represented on the foot ball field as long as it is able to muster eleven men that know the game, as he believes that training is of great value in preparing men for military service. x Charles Mayser again will coach the regulars, and present indications an that the following members of last year's first squad will return : Captain Heater, halfback; McFar- lotid ntiai-rV9ilr Vnrlr1nV fill 1 back; Schalk, Breeden and Casson, guards or tackles, and Hadleyand Jager at ends.

To com plete a long week-end program, IS heats were raced here this afternoon before decisions were reached in all of the events. The feature of the card was the return to form of June Red, who won the Capital Citv 2:07 trot, nurse $3,000, in an easy manner, after she was in the ruck the first heat, while The Toddler was getting a winning mile to his credit, June then went out and trotted three great miles. It was her first victory since the Poughkeepsie brand Circuit meeting and her back ers cashed in very heavily as she was almost overlooked in the auction betting. . Wilkes Brewer was a contender in June Red's winning heats, but she was unable to reach. The unfinished Horse Review fu turity for 3-year-old pacers, of which three heats were completed on Friday, went to Edna Early, the original favorite, best time 2:11 1-4.

Central High School Football Squa B-e-e-f, beef I That's one of the big assets that Coach Mulligan has which will help him in picking a Central High crew that will clean up the Missouri Val ley for the third consecutive season. Experience Seven "O" men to form the backbone of the team and a bunch of gold-sweatered fellows who have made their "Rs" on the second string. Speed That essential quick get awav and flashv thavelinsr to uoal that put Coach Mully's trick througTi before the opposing Jbacks are quite awake. A Jialf dozen fellows with this qualification are on hand, but several more would come in mighty handy to act as subs. Material There's oodles of it. Be tween 40 and SO players are out fo practice every . night and are a mighty promising looking bunch. Rumor says that Omaha's greatest rival in the Capital City has a squad of 90 chasing the oval. The locals are booked to mix with them on November! 16, but a big change is said to be under way. Lincoln has asked for a change in date. Schedule Five home games, four on hostile grids and one open date. As a whole it's one of the stiff est ever planned and holds several real treats for the Purple and White followers. Big fellows are going to form Central's .primary defense. Here's some of the family history of Cen tral's seven vets: VTt. Height. Age.

IS Pretty husky bunch, and several more babies are in line for a berth on the scrimmage line, among whom is Joe Pollard, who has 165 pounds of muscle and bone, which reaches five, feet and eleven inches above the ground. Scrimmaging will begin Monday. Noble is conceded to be the likely backfielder again. Harper is doped as right half, but his mate at left half is uncertain. Chuck Hall is working for the place to which Rex Beck and Shanahan, formerly of Commerce High, also aspire. At least two good substitute halves are needed and a sub for quarter. Paul Konechy and Herman Swoboda are picked for ends. Shafer is a square block "of granite for a tackle and Crowell for guard. Moser and Logan will divide center an guard between themselves. Turner is spotted as lanky material for the other tackle. The second team will also have a schedule. Commerce and Lincoln are carded with prospects of several others. Assistant Coach Schmidt will be the second string's mentor. 1 l 2 2 4 3 3 ro NINE VETS WILL BE IN UNIFORM AT SOUTH HIGH Packers Have Light Team of Experienced Players and Should Prove Candidates for State Title. 1 i 4 4 2 2 3 3 Girls' High School Tennis Tourney to Start Next Week Girls of the Central high school will begin their" annual fall tennis tournament sometime this week. En tries "will be closed Monday after noon. About 22 girls have entered so far.. The tourney is under the charge of Miss Harriet Duke and the Racquet club, of which Mildred Larsen is president and Mildred Wohlford, secretary-treasurer. The club has about SO members. Miss Eleanor Hamilton, winner of the last two tourneys, is a favor ite fojL the honors again. Several other girls have entered who are counted on to give the present champ some hard matches for the title. Miss Ruth Parker, who won local fame on municipal courts this summer, is expected to make a good showing. Miss Dorothy Johnson, who has regularly been defeated by the winner will also be a contestant. Emily and Ethel Ross and Bernice Kulakofsky are other good players who have entered. t Majors Draft but Seven . ! Men From Minor Leagues Cincinnati, O.. Sept. 2l. Drafts for this season were announced to day by the National Base Ball com mission and number exactly seven. They follow: American league: By ew xorit, from San Francisco, Frank O'Doul;; from Salt Lake City, Earl P. Bald-! win. National league: By Cincinnati from Vernon,-W Dell. By Pitts burgh, from Los Angeles, Zeb Terry (the Boston National league club having given this player employ ment after the suspension of the Pacific Coast league season will, ac cording to the rulipfj" made hy thei commission on this subject, be givetf the preference to this player's serv ices if they so desire); from New Orleans, Walter-vBarbare; frorl Richmond, Va., : George W. Winn' (played tinder name of George Jack son); from Portland, Pacific Coast, Cliff Kc.- ' ' Picking his team will be an easy task for Coach Jim Patton of South High this year for when the South town coach sounded the annual football call nine of his 1917 proteges answered the call. South High's entire 1917 line will be in the fight when the season opens Friday against Creighton High. Banner and Etter are two vets who will play at their old positions in the backfield. ' Card, who, played end last season, has been shifted to full to replace Oswald, who is at the University of Nebraska combining study and army training. Anderson, former guard, will fill the hole .at end. Hedgren will be back at right tackle with Morris at his side playing right guard. The rest of the line remains intact, since Petersen, center, Swearington, guard, McNeil, tackle, and Volz, end, are ready for a sea son of bucking the line. Etter will snap out the signals at quarter again, and Banner will be on duty at half. The other half is the only place open for candidates. Fic njc, Higgins and Uvic are aspirants for the place. ' . ' . Liaht Team Again. The team is light again, averaging about 150 pounds to the man. Three scrimmage practices were held last week. Most of the players worked hard during the summer and are in good shape. Because of a shortage of equipment at present practice is somewhat hampered. A. squad of about 30 turns out daily. The season will start with a rush when the .Packers encounter 4he Creighton High eleven, which is re ported as pretty nifty. The game with Central High will be played thev following Firday. The original schedule was to start the season with Blair, but the school from up the river with but one vet back has asked for a game later in the sea son. Logan, la., will send a delega tion here October 11. T locals will go to York on October IS. I he game with Beatrice has been can celled because of the expense of transportation. - The remainder of the schedule follows: October 25, open; Commerce High, November lj November 8, open; November 15, University Place; Thansgivihg day, Council Bluffs. 1 According to present indications the school will be able to complete the schedule. A greater sale of tickets is expected to offset the in creased expenses., Colorado Hich Schools Use Kicic-Of f This Year Fort Collins, Colo., Sept. 21.

Nebraska Wrestler Is Pleased With Navy and Anxious for Service Joe Stecher, the Dodge wrestling phenom, and one time holder of the world's heavyweight champion ship, visited Sioux City last week and participated in a wrestling car nival in connection with the fair. He had secured a furlougli from the Great Lakes Naval training station where he is stationed to participate in the event. He appeared looking prim and fit in a regulation navy uniform of blue and attracted con siderable attention and favorable comment. ' "I like it fine out at the Great Lakes Naval training station," Stecher said, "and the life of a sailor is going to suit me to a T, I'm sure. Of course, our work at the station contains but few thrills, but I'm hoping to go through some wonderful experiences before long. Life on a battle cruiser should give a fellow plenty of excitement, and I look for a real naval engagement or two before victory finally comes to the allies." Stecher attracted considerable at tention last evening when he strolled through the lobby of the hotel. With his head towering above tnose of his three companions it was little wonder that he caused some gasps among the occupan-ts of the crowded corridor. The former world's wrestling cnampion aid not lincer lone in the lobby, however. When he saw that he held the center of the stage hc became a bit confused and sntitrlif seclusion in his room. "Funny thing about Joe," said one of his com panions alter the tar" had retired, "is that he seems to have lost all love for this publicity stuff since he entered the navy. He has grown more serious in the last few weeks and seems to think that holding a world's championship belt wasn't the greatest thing in the world after all." Stecher laughed when he was asked about being outfitted at the Great Lakes station. It took nearly three hours to find togs hat he could strejeh over his bulky frame, he said, but they finally had him in uniform. "I had them guessing for a while though," he added with a smile.

Thaakssivlnc Kaniaa at Lawrence, PESEK-PEfERS MIX AK-SAR-B EN ENDS WAR BOUTS Nebraska Heavyweights Will Settle Differences Occa sioned by Postponed Match July 4. The announcement of the Pesek Peters grapple has enlivened the sports calendar to a very marked j degree. War has played havoc in J the world of athletics and with but j few exceptions all the great lights '. in the game are now serving under Uncle Sam s colors. It is generally believed that the Peters-Pesek bout will be the last of any of the really big matches unti' the war has been won. Both men are popularly ac corded as "wrestlers, who wrestle," who "fight for blood," and who give the spectators their full worth for money expended. Peters and Pesek met in Omaha July 4, last, at Rourke park, when Old J. Pluvius rammed in his horns and spread a blanket of moisture over the arena, where the. two were battling and battling hard for stellar honors. The grapplers had struggled for 40 minutes without a fall, when the rain became so hard that the referee called time. That rratch left a doubt in the minds of the fans as to who was the real victor. A Grudge Match. That meeting left a "bad feeling" between Peters and Pesek, which was not abated any when the match was resumed the Saturday following at the Auditorium. Pesek at that time won the match. There will be a semi-final wrest ling match staged by Charles Pesek, brother of the big wrestler, and Mike Fromme of Harlan, la., which is gV ing to be a "humdinger," according to "those who know." A preliminary bout will also be oh the program. The Pesek-Fromme battle will be for a $200 side bet, which has al ready been posted. Popular prices will prevail for the match. All reserved seats will be sold for $1, with the excepticn of not more than four rows of ringside sea's, which will be sold for $2. The match will be an added attrac tion to the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities on Fridav evenincr Seotember 27. The Auditorium has been secured to stage the battle.

WIN HANDICAPS IN STATE TRAP TOURNAMENTS Replacing of the Subsidiary Handicaps by State Events Proved Excellent, as 42 Were Held.

Reed tied his brother, Elmer, for the State championship and then won the handicap. The best score from a lone mark was 97 from 22 yards by G. L. Becker in winning the Utah handicap.
