' On the driving power of the men plus their general foot ball ability depends the success 6f the Husker claims. Facing the hardest sched ule in history-indeed the hardest attempted by any team in the coun try this year the going will not be smooth. But the team is well bal anced and by the time Minnesota is passed should be well on its way to a perfect record. "Can't say a thing," is Schulte's mien. Schulte Crafty General. The head coach is playing a care ful game. His coaching during scrimmage is especially instructive. He is a leader with a drive a punch. When he says anything, he don't whisper it he yells it. So on a pint formation with the squad some 80 yards away and a stunt of some kind pulled wrong it is not uncommon to have everybody sit silent in awe while the coach elucidates ideas.. He's a Yost to a T with the sp'eed added on. Under his tutelage the backfield problem, which was a big one on paper at the start of the season some IS days ago, has been dealt with. Henry, Russell, Jobes, Otten Btien and Newman all stand in wait ing on the varsity backs Schellen berg and Dobson, Dale, giant full back, is one of his early creations, the big boy having been a lineman by choice. Coach Schulte Friday ordered se cret foot ball practice every day from now on, in lieu of the coming game with the Hawkeyes'at Iowa City. The gates were clamped against the curious at the Friday p. m. drill. The team leaves Thursday after noon over the Rock Island for Iowa City. The game will be called at 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Prac tice will be held one afternoon en route. The entire squad makes the trip.

GRANOIRCUIT RACING IN OHIO CLOSES DOWN Program of Three Trotting Events Winds Up Season in Buckeye State Split " Heats Featured. Columbus, O., Sept. 27. Grand Circuit racing for Ohio was closed for the year today, when a small program, consisting of three class trotting races, was completed. Harry Stokes drove Jesse Y. for Walter Cox and created consider able merriment when he won the 2:11 trot with her and performed something that Cox was unable , to do all year win a race with her. Hickory Bill and Roxanna Moore also were heat winners in this event before Jesse Y. came through and stepped out m front in the deciding heat. Best time, 2:08J4. The 2:18 trot also was a split heat affair. Zomidotte, winner of the first mile, seemed to tire in the stretch- thereafter and breaks there cost her the chance to repeat. Ed H. captured this race. Best time, 2:08i4.'' The 2:13 trot had1 Lou Todd as a winner. In this race the judges took down Ervin from behind Black Dia mond after the first heat, but Er skine could do no better. . Ervin was then permitted to again take the mount in the third heat. Ed H. and Hickory Bill became new 2:10 trotters ' today.

Several weeks ago the Lodgemen and the Juniors engaged in the first game of the series, which resulted in a victory for the Juniors, but the game was ordered replayed on account of the Holmes crew using player Jimmy Walsh. Pat Cahill will be on the jiring line for the Holmes Juniors, vhile Smith or Moore will heave them over the rubber for the Lodgemen.

New York, Sept. 27. A movement is on foot to bring Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey together again. Ray Archer, Willard's business manager, and Tex Richard are in favor ofan other battle between the two. Richard believes they will draw again and contends that Willard can do much better the next time and declares he is willing to dig up a spot and talk business if Jess and Jack will consent. Tex Has No Hopes. Tex has not much hope of induc ing Willard to go through a. severe training grind again and take the short end of the purse just to get even with Dempsey, but he is ready and anxious to start the ball rolling if the fighters give him the word. They argue that Willard was too confident, took reckless chances and was licked by a punch he took be cause he did not think he could be hurt. Now that he knows better, they say. Jess would fight carefully as he always did before and per haps do things to Jack after the lat ter had ' tired of trying to ac complish what he did at Toledo when "Jess was holding his chin out for him." To See Jess Soon. In Chicago recently Archer said: "I don't know how Jess .feels about it, I am on my way to see him now and will learn all about his plans. Jess has plenty of money and is all wrapped up in the oil business. He might agree to another fight, but I haven t much hope. I know if I were Jess I surely would fight Dempsey again. I still think Wil lard can whip him to a certainty. "Willard was iA good physical trim at Toledo except when he neg lected to harden his flesh. If his right eye had not closed up he would be fighting yet. Dempsey. was tiring fast and if Jess had been able to see him he would have kept on going. Jess would be sure to pickle his countenance for another fight. . Body Punch Didn't Hurt. "Willard did not' fight as he can fight He chased after Dempsey in that first round and kept leading to him. I never saw Willard do that before. That was what gave Demp sey a chance to shoot over that left. I disagree with the , experts who claim that first body punch hurt Willard. It was the left to the chin that licked him. He did not recover until after the fight, and then it was too late, of course. "Jess is a great fighter and has a great fight left in his system. I would like to get him to start again if Dempsey wil give him a match." Fight experts here say that an other fight between Willard and Dempsey would be purely a game for dollars. , '- . -. -. Benny Leonard Agrees To Meet Lew Tendler On Thanksgiving Day New York, Sept. 27. Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler are to fight for the lightweight champion ship within three months. Billy Gibson, manager of Leonard, has seen fit to make public announce ment of the match and has set the date for Thanksgiving day. The only obstacle is the fright that Tend ler has every t'me he hears about a prospective match with Leonard. If the Philadelphia lightweight can be convinced that he has a chance, something he does not believe, he may sign the papers. Leonard will agree to make 135 pounds several hours before the time for action. Tendler has asked for 133 pounds ringside, but Leon ard rightly declines to even consid er this proposition. Leonard sug gests that when Welsh beat Ritchie for the title they met at 135 pound and that if Tendler is to get a crack at the title he must enter the ring at that weight. Tickets for Pesek-Londos ', Match Are Selling Past Chicago Leads in Entries For 1920 A. B. C. Tournement Jim Londos Star Grapplers Are Evenly Matched in Height, Weight and Strength; Should Be Most Thrilling Mat Event Ever Held in Omaha. The last word in wrestling matches. That's the way Omaha mat fans are describing the match which will be staged between John Pesek and Jim Londos at the Omaha Auditorium Thursday night of this week. Probably no two more evenly matched men ever grappled on a wrestling mat in this city. A num ber of the best known promoters in the country spent considerable time and money angling for this battle and a number of cities were en tered in the competitive bidding. When Jack Lewis finally landed the match for Omaha it was only after more than three months of negotiations. Lewis was deter mined to land the match, as he believed it would be a classic of matdom.if it ever was held. Fin ally his preseverance prevailed and the rival gladiators consented to do battle. The similarity of the two men is remarkable. In weight neither man will be at a disadvantage of more than a pound or two, both Pesek and Londos weighing about 190 pounds. Each man is of the fast, shifty type of wrestler who works with a rapidity that is astounding. Also they are unusually skillful and for men of their weight . possess won derful strength in their arms and shoulders. The men are so evenly matched that those who follow the fortunes of wrestling are keeping their money in their pockets. This in itself is unusual. Generally when a wrestling match is held one man or the other is a decided favorite. Money n his chances to win al ways is available, while money on his opponent is scarce. But this is not the case with re- fard to the Pesek-Londos match, he wise ones apparently are un willing to take any chances. They have their favorites, some of them preferring Pesek and some Londos, but they don't want to back their Judgment with the wherewithall. The reason is that they realize the Chicago Manager to Take String Over to England New Yorl Sept. 27. Three American fighters, under the guid ance of Nat C. Lewis of Chicago, will leaye here in December to en gage in boxing matches in- England. Lewis arrived here a couple of weeks ago with Pal, Moore, the Memphis bantamweight, after a three months' stay in England. Prior to leaving England for Amer ica Lewis closed with the Barry Syndicate to bring Moore and sev eral other fighters to England in December to engage in bouts with the best talent on the other side during that month and in January. Moore is signed tor three bouts, one with Ledoux, the French cham pion; another with Ross, the Eng lish bantamweight title holder, and the third with Joe Lynch, the American bantamweight.

Seats are selling like the pro verbial hot cakes. With the carnival crowds in town it is expected a ca pacity house will witness the brawl. Promoter Lewis especially advises those wishing to get balcony seats to reserve them now as these are selling so fast he expects to see the entire balcony sold out when the day of the match arrives. Seats are on sale at the Auditorium, the Pax ton hotel, Merritt's drug store, Ernie Holmes' billiard parlors, Sachs cigar store and the Merchants hotel. By A. L. LANGTRY. Storetair of th American Bowling Con Now that the dates for the 20th international tournament of the American Bowling congress have been set from March 10 to April 4, 1920, with Peoria as the choice where the classic is to be held, many teams throughout the coun try are sending in their entries at this early date and reservations are coming in fast from the big cities, who know from experience that if week-end dates are desired early ac tion must be taken. Chicago has reserved places for 166 teams, and hopes to have enter ed at least 161 teams. They prom ised "one team for every mile" be tween Chicago and Peoria and Judge Howard, together with ex ecutive committeeman Dave Luby and Treasurer Frank Pasdeloup, all of the Windy City, are working with real to make good when the bell rings for entries to close, which date has been announced as Feb ruary 18. Milwaukee is next in line with reservations for 30 teams and the Badger state in general is going to Peoria with confidence and en thusiasm this year. The winning of the international championships by the Athearn team of Oshkosh, Wis., has stimulated the game of tenpins in Wisconsin and every city and town will have a team entered in the great bowling classic in March. ' One Consistent Quintet. The Oshkosh team that carries Athearn's name is a good team and has been worrying around first place for two or three years, finishing fourth and fifth at Grand Rapids and Cincinnati, so on race horse form they were due to put over the killing at Toledo in '19 and lived up to their form. They bowled consistent terring, as the annual report of the congress will show, which contains all the records of the last tournament in detail as well as the general sum mary of past tournaments. Their lead-off man, Kroeck, totaled 582, with Bob Genal second on the list with 584, followed by the big gun of the game, Joe Genal, with 689, and then came the whole "peP" the team, Dick Theela, with 585, follow ed by the pinch man, Frank Joerges, with 582, for a total of 2,992, which has only been topped three times during the last 20 years by interna tional A. B. C. champions. It was good bowling, and if form leads to a prediction this team will again do well this year at Peoria. They are not predicting or claiming first place, but they are going after a huge chunk of the prize money, and at this early date are working together. Gregg's AH Stars of Cleveland came within an ace of pushing the Oshkosh boys off the top ladder rung, when they hung up 2,983, and only failed to go into first place when Christy ThieS, the anchor man, ran into a wide open split on the last ball of the last game. It was a tough split to get at just the wrong time. Thies is a port sidcr and had been bowling tenpins dur ing the evening, turning in a total of 630 for his team, but his first ball in the tenth frame of the last game was a trifle too full, with the inevitable results when you are out of luck, as the saying goes In bowling. A 3,502 Team. The record book shows some great dope, providing you have the time and inclination to pick it to pieces and then assemble it again to suit dope form. Take for instance the five high men in the individual event, with Harry Cavan of Pittsburgh with 718, Joe Pollard of Indianapolis with 714, Joe Rivest of Chicago with 690, Mort Lindsey of New Haven with 690 and Dominick Devite of Chi cago with 690, the last three tying for third, fourth and fifth money. Their total scores if placed on a five-man team would total 3,502 for a five-man event and it certainly would start everybody gasping if any such a total as this would ever be bowled on new and strange al leys against absolutely flew wood, also taking into consideration the CINCINNATI IS HONORING REDS FOR LEAGUE RACE Monster Parade, Consisting of Five Divisions, Headed by Mayor, Parade Through out City.
