urn BOOSTERS
WIN FIGHT FOR
NEBRASKA GAME
State Regents Declare Nebraska-Oklahoma
Game
Here Is Not Contrary to
Valley R tiling.
Omaha foot ball boosters won
their five years' fight for a Nebraska
university foot ball game in the city
next fall, when members of the uni
versity board of regents at Lincoln
S.Hurday framed a letter to mem
bers of the Missouri Valley' confer
ence announcing it was their de
cision to stage a Nebraska-Oklahoma
game here October 25.
"Our action followed the. refusal
of the valley conference to permit a
foot ball game at Omaha," Chan
cellor) Avery said yesterday over
long distance telephone. "With the
istate Medical college situated at
Omaha, we can see nothing cotir
traryto conference rulings in stag
ing such a game."
i The; university board will not
necessarily withdraw from the con
ference, but will await a reply to
the letter sent. It is highly proba
ble that the conference, realizing the
weight of Nebraska's membership,
wilt submit. If it refuses to do so
it may mean the cancellation of
games already arranged with Kan
sas, Ames and Missouri schools.
If Nebraska withdraws from the
conference and scheduled games
are cancelled" the state school will
probably apply for admission into
the "Big Ten." This would mean
that Omahans would see some of
the best foot ball games of the coun
try played on the home field.
Harry Williams Boxes
Zaladeck at Eagles'
Boost Entertainment
In an effort to interest South Side
men in their campaign for a larger
membership, the South Omaha
Eagles gave a free smoker last
night. A wrestling match,- four
boxing bouts and a battle royal
were offered the prospective mem
bers for entertainment.
The feature event was a four
round boxing bout between Harry
Williams, the best heavyweight Ne
braska can boast, and Young Zala
deck, a middleweight boxer of some
ability. Harry had , considerable
shade on his opponent, but it was a
fine bout, though neither was try
ing for anything serious.
Another fine exhibition was that
staged by Eddie Gillen and Jimmy
Drexel, a good four-round draw.
They put this bout on at every en
tertainment in town, but they al
ways give a fine scrap. Kid Schlaf
er ani Soldier Burke of Fort Logan
slammed through four rounds to a
draw.! The Hauptman brothers
;. bqxed' ' three-round '. exhibitions
which' was highly entertaining.'-The
brothers are little fellows about 12
years old, but they show a real
knowledge of boxing.
A ;20-minute , wrestling matjh
opened the show, between Jess
Queen and Dave Nostrum, the Ne
braska amateur light heavyweight
champion. It was declared a draw
by Refereee Tommy Thomas.

WOLF LOW MEDAL
PLAYER IN OPEN
GOLF TOURNEY
St. Louis Man Turns in Score
of 147; Legg and Boken
kamp Each Play
Round at 155.
By FLOYD S. BELL.
St. Louis, Mo.. June 17. (Spe
cial Telegram). Clarence Wolf, of
St Louis, turned in low medal score
of 147 for the thirty-six holes today
Barry Legg of Minneapolis had n
card of 155, as also did Richard
Bockenkamp, the St. Louis young
ster. James Nugent, of Kansas
City, qualified, with a card of 157.
Rudy Knepper, the brilliant young
Sioux City golfer,' turned in a card
of 78, this morning, which couulcd
v, i,h 81 yesterday, gave him a total
of 157 and easily placed him it.
yesterday, gave him a total of om
fifty-nine and easily placed him in
the qualifying rounds. Knepper is
figured as an almost certain semi
finalist. James E. Nugent of Kansas City
goes into the third flight of the
western open championship matches
tomorrow (Wednesday) matched
against L. B. Bromfield of Denver,
state champion of Colorado. Rudy
Knepper of Sioux City plays against
Sam Reynolds of Omaha and both
of these matches are attracting un
usual attention. Nugent played
spectacular golf yesterday, his re
covery after being two down at the
seventh being little short of re
markable. His driving and putting
alike aided him in defeating Frank
Douglass of Chicago, 5 and 4, at
the finish.
The big surprise of-the tourney
came when Clarence Wolf of St.
Louis defeated Warren K. Wood,
the famous Chicago golf expert. The
match went the full 18 holes. Wolf
winning, one up. An argument
arose at the sixteenth hole when
it was claimed Wolf forfeited the
hole by rolling his ball, but the
argument was finally settled by halv
ing the hole. Harry Legg of Min
neapolis meets T. B. Griffith of
Wichita today. Legg was forced to
go 19 holes to defeat Reuben Bush
of New Orleans yesterday.
A successful experiment has been
carried out at Fellujah on the Eu

of Bagdad, with peanuts, or ground
nuts, as they are called here by the

Dempsey and Willard Both
Have Several New Punches
While Dempsey Trains Himself to Overcome and Out
wit the Champion's Terrible Left Uppercut, the
Latter-Invents New Short Left Hook and Short
Uppercut.
By FRANK G. MENKE.
(Staff Correspondent Vniversal Service.)
Toledo, O., Juic 17. A new de
fense will be presented by Jack
Dempsey July 4 and Jess Willard
in rebuttal will exhibit an attack
that varies considerably from the
old. The noble warriors, having
been "tipped" as to the favorite ring
tricks of the other, trying for weeks
to devise methods to thwart the plans
of the other. And each is proceed
ing in a way that makes him "quite
enthusiastic."
Dempsey, having heard often
and in glowing terms of the long,
powerful and snake-like left hand
which is included in the trick bag of
the champion, has been laboring to
null its value. Bill Tate, the great
sparring partner, has been left jab
bing at Dempsey but to Dempsey,
studying ways and means of avoid
ing it, at first the feat was rather
impossible of accomplishment
Dempsey's natural rush was just the
kind that rammed into that left.
Can Break Through Guard.
But lately it has been a some
what different story. Dempsey can
break through the Willard guard
as "demonstrated by Tate and with
startling frequency. This' is proba
bly due to a new sort of head wig
gle used by the "Utah Mauler," and
also to a more pronounced crouch
than Dempsey has shown before.
Tate does his best to stop the on
rush, but confesses "it can't be
done." Dempsey rushes, wiggles,
crouches his way through despite
Tate's skillful efforts to spear him
with the left paw. Don't get the
impression that Tate isn't a master
of that left jab.
Some persons, and they haven't
any unkind feeling toward Willard
either, claim that the big negro
jabs faster and surer than the cham
pion whose ability in that line has
helped to make him famous.
The success of Dempsey in the
evasion of Tate's left hand has
heartened the Dempsey camp con
siderably and it now voices this
feeling:
"Our only worry was that Jack
might not be able to get past a
nlng pttcer: Kerr. Losing pitcher: John
son. Senators Break Even.

long left. But he has been escap
ing Tate and if he can do that he
surely can get past Willard's lef .
When he does that he will begin
to crack the big feller, and then,
good night Jess Willard."
Has New Left Punches.
Meanwhile the champion is faith
fully practicing a left hook and left
uppercut, both new additions to his
punching equipment. He expects,
through the introduction of these
blows to foil the slashing Dempsey
attacks that toppled over nearly two
score foemen into the scrap heap.
.The left uppercut differs from the
wonderful right that Willard pos
sesses inasmuch as it is a short,
snappy blow especially suited for
the infighting which Dempsey is ex
pected to force. Willard's mighty
uppercut, which starts around the
knee cap and describes a full fear
ful sweep upward, has its greatest
value only in long rough work.
"But I can use the left hander
i . toe to toe work." declares Jess.
Willard hasn't developed the left
uppercut to the point of real ef
ficiency yet. There is a certain
awkwardness in its use just now
But Willard is improving with it
and declares it will be in first-class
working order on the Fourth.
The same is true concerning the
left hook. Jess never hooked from
that side in the past. But he in
sists that he is going to do it qui t
often against Dempsey and is rather
confident that such a punch may
win the fight for him. ,
"I've been working it pretty I
against my sparring partners and
by the time I tackle Dempsey it will
be perfect," he said.
"My chief aim is to have it work
ing on the fight day. When I start
it Dempstv won't know if I am
sending aTiook or just an ordinary
jab. But when it lands the boy will
appreciate the difference." ...
"Dempsey has been getting past
T. te's left fairly well," Willard was
told.
"Well, Tate's left and mine are
quite different and Jack Dempsey
will awaken to the sadv realization
on July 4," was the champion's
comeback.
Dempsey Surprises
Fans, Weighing Self
and Scaling Just 201
Toledo, June 17. Jack Dempsey
gave his admirers their biggest sur
prise today when he weighed him
self on a set of tested scales and
tipped the beam at exactly 201
pounds. Dempsey was clad only in
a swimming suit and boxing shoes.
The challenger's poundage was
considerable of a jolt to admirers
of Willard, who had claimed that
Dempsey's hard work under a
scorching sun would likely burn him
out and put him into the ring
against the champion in the light
heavyweight class, or around 180
pounds.
Dempsey appeared to be in per
fect condition. There was not um
ounce of surplus flesh on his body.
Willard boxed 11 three-minute
rounds today. Joe Chip, a middle
weight of Newcastle, Penn., and a
brother of George Chip, once mid
dleweight champion, joined Wil
lard's staff of sparring partners and
furnished the champion with the
most interesting workout of the af
ternoon. Willard .boxed three rounds with
Jack Hempel, two with Chip, three
with Jack Heinen, and three with
Walter Monahan.

Tomorrow Evening.
Replying to a query regarding his
condition for the match with Jack
Gana at Council Bluffs tomorrow
night, Charlie Peters said that he
was in the best condition of his en
tire career and helped to make a
speedy ending to the bout. He be
lieved that by dumping Gana speed
ily the public will realize that he
will be a worthy opponent for John
Pesek, whom he will meet if he can
throw Gana.
In Gana Peters will be meeting
no novice or "set up," for the Firth
wrestler has met a number of the
best mat artists in the country, in
cluding Champion Caddock, to
whom he lost, only after 45 minutes
of gruelling wrestling. He has de
feated Pete Fromme and Chris Sor
enson and a great number of other
big fellows, and usually in jig time.
The winner of this match will be
matched with John Pesek for a
bout in the Bluffs auditorium, the
latter part of July or early in
August. Pesek has promised to meet
the winner and has stated that if
Felers is the winner, he will be wili
i'lg to make the sheriff a comfort
able side-bet if he wants it. Gana

says he wants a crack at John in
a real match, as he figures that he
has learned enough qf his style ivi
their walkouts to be able to pin
him in a regular go.

time on. Solomon has been work
ing in his own gymnasium in Omaha
and will be in great form for the
match. Miller will have no easy task
in pinning the old master. The pair
of amateur lightweights that Pro
moter Fiori has booked for the
opening bout have been training at
the Council .Bluffs Y. M. C. A.
separately with featherweight cham
pion Vernon Breedlove and the lat
ter pronounces them fit for a great
match.
The first bout will be put in the
ring at 8:30 sharp and each event
will be put on as soon as the pre
ceding one is finished.
No Steel Will Be Laid.
Nothing will be done this sum
mer in the way of laying steel on
the Chalco-Yutan cut-off connect
ing Omaha with Sioux City by way
of the Burlington's short line. At
least this is the information that
comes to Burlington headquarters.
Two years ago the steel was
bought for the Chalco-Yutan cut
off and part of it laid. Then the
government needed the steel. It
was taken up and sent to France to
be used in the construction of
United States roads there. After
that work was abandoned. The
grade was completed and the bridge
work nearly finished.

Judge Troup Hears
Arguments to Quash
the Contempt Action
District Judge Troup yesterday
heard arguments to quash the con
tempt proceedings against F. J.
Kelly and George Nebe, striking
teamsters, who are accused of vio
lating the injunction. Anson H.
Bigelow, appearing for the team
sters, declared that the injunction
issued two years ago should not
apply in the present strike and that
to allow it to do so is nothing less
than government by injunction.
"There has been no cause for
the state to step in here and secure
an injunction and for that reason
they have fallen back on the old
injunction secured under an entire
ly different state of conditions," hev
deplared.
Halleck Rose argued for the state
in place of the attorney general.
Judge Troup took the case under ad
visement. Hearing of the contempt case
against Nebe and Smith was post
poned yesterday morning in Judge
Troup's court until Friday when it
will be heard if the motion to quash
is overruled. J. Smith, a third
teamster, cited for contempt, will
also be present Friday, it is stated.

CHAMPIONS HERE
Armours Tackle Kansas City
Tigers, Western Title Club
of 1917-18, Saturday
and Sunday.
Next Saturday and Sunday the
Armours will play the Kansas Ciy
Tigers at Rourke Pafk. This is ore
of the crack colored clubs of Kan
sas City; in fact, they hold title as
the western colored champions for
the year 1917-1918, and it will be
necessary for the Armours to go
some to beat the colored boys
The Armour club is. now well or
ganized and ready for all comers.
The Armours' three great pitchers
Dyke, Graves and Sullivan are the
pick of Omaha Graves' arm is
again O. K., as is attested by the
games he has pitched, beating t!ie
Tennessee Rats 5-2 and'shutting out
Nebraska City 11-0. Dyke has
shown great form all season, hold
ing Omaha to 5 hits in 10 inning;,
Shenandoah to 2 hits, and the Ne
braska Power to 3 hits. Sullivan
also has a' great reputation, having
pitched last year for Camp Funstw-n,
when he held the Chicago Cubs to '
S hits. He has also pitched great
ball against other league clubs. Sul
livan has developed v great cross
fire delivery, which will be some
thing unique, as no other twirler in
Omaha possesses it.
The Armours' great infield is
made up of Reed, Dyke. Williams,
Collins, and Corcoran, while the out
field is guarded by a trio of speed
merchants J. Collins, Al Graves,
and Joe Twin, the Indian. Johnny
"Chug" Ryan has developed into
one of the best catchers in Omaha.
No stolen bases, is Johnny's slogan.
Manager Otto Williams is 'oo
well known to need mention, for he
is easily the best in the business in
Omaha.
Manager Williams looks for a
great series with the colored bovs,
a? he has a very high opinion of the
Tigers. Manager Irving will bring
fiiteen men from Kansas City, so as
to make sure of the bacon.
Fopular prices will prevail. Sat
urday's game will be called at 4 u.
m. The line-up will be published
later.
