Billy Uvick, for years a middleweight title- contender, who,, while with the army 'of occupation in France and Germany, gained con siderable , weight, will enter the heavy. division and meet Harry Wil liams, considered in this neck of the woods as a likely championship aspirant, in a four-round argument The final match on the program ig a finish match, best two out of three falls, between Charley Peters, the wrestling sheriff of Sarpy coun ty, who is now at the top of his form and ready to meet the real topnotchers of the heavy weight class, and Charles Hansen, another heavy weight, who is anxious to prove to followers of the mat game in this section that he is entitled to matches with the best of the mat stars. .

' "Now, since I have taken Tanlac I am in better health than I've been in twenty-five Ions: years," was the statement' 'made the other day by Mrs. Henrietta Shoup, when she called at Sutliff and CaseVdrug store in Peoria, 111. Mrs. Shoup lives out on Route No. 3 from Peoria, where she owns a large Continuing Mrs." Shoup said: "If it hadn't teen for Tanlac I. would not have been able to have made the trip into town today, and I feel so thankful for the remarkabtegood this medicine has done me that 1 have come in the store here now to tell you how I have been restored to complete health. No, sir, a for tune couldn't buy the good this medicine has done me. "Before I commenced taking Tan lac I had been in bad health for twenty-five years, and my condition had been getting worse all the time until I got to where I was in misery nearly all the time, i My stomach was in an awful fix" and nearly everything I ate soured and caused gas to form so bad that I thought I would smother1 at times. 1 would have terrible headaches, and I had such bad dizzy spells at times that I couldn't stand up. I was very nervous and restless and my sleep was broken, and I lost in weight until I looked almost like a frame. I had always taken pride in raising my own chickens and turkeys, but I was so broken down that I had to give it up entirely- "When I had allmost given up all hope of ever being relieved of my suffering, a neighbor persuaded me into trying Tanlac, so I got a bottle. That one bottle did me more good than all the other things I had taken put together for the last-twenty-five years. I was so encouraged that I kept right on tak ing Tanlac, and now today you can see for yourself what it has done for me. I am seventy years old, but I am in the best of health, have a splendid appetite and am never troubled one bit with my stomach. The headaches and dizzy spells have all left me, and I am not nervous or restless and can sleep fine every night. My strength has come back and I have gained in weight I just feel so fine that I am simply overjoyed at my recovery."

State conference foot ball this year with five teams lead ing in the race for the state cham pionship, and two of these as likely looking as any college teams that trotted onto a gridiron, promises more than ordinary interests. The Nebraska Wesleyan Coyotes, with a total of 109 points, by vir tue of victories over the Doane Ti gers,, Peru and Central City, is com ing into the limelight it once held in years gone by as a foot ball team of merit. York, with a total of 114 points and zero for its opponents, is a close leader. Kearney also is still, to be scored against. Conference Meeting. Interest in the state association was brought to a focus last week when the state conference members, by reason of a challenge by Hastings college against the York eleven con cerning the eligibility of the three of the latter's players, met in Lin coln to decide the matter. Ten con ferees attended, these being Prof. Smith of Cotney college, presiding officer; Rouse of Peru normal, Shirk of Nebraska Wesleyan, Barrage of Doane, Ashcraft of York, Firth of Grand Island, Cappock of Nebraska Central, Cline of Midland, Crone of Hastings and Pate of Kearney Nor mal. . The latter is secretary. President McLaughlin of York college, whose foot ball team was challenged, and Chancellor Schreck engast of Nebraska Wesleyan at University Place were also pres ent. During the meeting York college A. E. F. Champ Scores Knockout in His First Professional Bout .Akron, 0 Oct. 28. Bob Martin of Akron, heavyweight champion of the American expeditionary and al lied forces, wffn his first professional bout when he defeated Joe Bonds of New York in the 10th round of a scheduled 15-round contest Tues day night, the referee stopping the bout. Martin administered severe pun ishment to his opponent from the start, knocking him down in the sixth round for a count of three. At the end of the eighth round, Bonds' econds wanted to toss the sponge into the ring but Bonds refused to quit. officials convinced the Hastings rep resentatives that their challenge was without sufficient grounds. Nevertheless the conference voted for a more explicit interpretation of the rules. Their ruling was as fol lows: "That 'it be the sense of the col lege presidents that the rules re garding eligibility of students for athletic contests be interpreted 10 mean that a student to be eligible to intercollegiate athletics must carry 12 hours' work in the college departments or 16 hours of sub freshman work, which will be con sidered the equivalent of 12 hours, and that drills, such as typewriting, music, penmanship or any other subject not requiring preparation shall not be counted in arriving at the valuation of the hours carried." The recommendation carried by unanimous vote. Amazed at Arrangements. Brestel, Ross and other members of the York eleven who were pro tested by Hastings college, were de fended by President McLaughlin, Dean Ashcraft and Head Coach Earnie Frank of that institution, all three declaring that the players mentioned-were carrying subjects in the commercial college which ad mitted them to the foot ball team under former conference rules. President Crone' of Hastings ex pressed amazement that a purely commercial student should be al lowed to pfay intercollegiate foot ball. i Wesleyan defeated Doane, 40 to 0 two weeks ago. The Tigers had previously held the Cotner Bulldogs to a 10 to 0 score. By this com parison, the Wesleyanites are looked on an individual leaders in the con ference. During the week the Fre mont Midland team, heretofore looked on as a weak aggregation showed to advantage by holding the Peru Normal team to a small score of 6 to 0. Earlier in the sea son Cotner defeated Midland by a resounding score. Wesleyan defeated Peru. Cotner defeated Hastings. York defeated Doane, bringing it strongly to the fore as a later conference leader. Grand Island dropped out a .week ago and canceled all games. In dications are that York and Wesley an will battle out in the finish for final leadership. AMUSEMENTS. With the Bowlers. UNIVERSAL MOTOR LEAGUE. Stock.

MUNY HEADS MAY FORM MID-WEST BODY NEXT YEAR Prospects for Such Organiza tion Discussed at Ama teur Base Ball League , ' Meeting. Prospects for launching a middle west amateur base ball association next spring, -with Omaha as the headquarters, was discussed at the annual smoker of the officers and directors of the Municipal Amateur Base Ball association last night at the Omaha Athletic club. A motion to; this effect was intro duced by Vice President A. A. Hoopingarner, and unanimously carried. It was pointed out that an association of this kind would be a big feature for amateur base ball in Omaha and would also be a great tlii'niT frtr riT, citir Omaha, rtiir- ing the season just closed, and in lormer years, nas neia tne center oi the stage in the national pastime in this section of the country. To Investigate Situation. A committee will be appointed some time this week to investigate the opinions of the various cities throughout the middle west in re gard to the amateur situation next season. ' Following the smoker the election r, rfflr' f-r the pnuiiino- vear were elected. Albert C Scott, president ot the association aunng me sedsun just closed, was unanimously re elected for the coming season, as were all the other old officers dur ing the 1919 season. The list of officers, besides Presi dent Scott, are: Thomas Falconer, park commissioner; A. A. Hoopin garner, W. E. Reed, George T. Zim merman and Leo Rosenthal, vice presidents; J. J. Isaacson, secretary; James Milota, recording secretary, and Fred S. Hunter, treasurer. A. D. Kline was also elected as vice president. Amendment Carried. An amendment to the contitution was carried, whereby the words "five vice presidents" was striken out and the words "limited to ten" was sub stituted. At a meeting to be held in the near future, four more vice presidents will be elected. The financial end of the associa tion this season was bigger than ex pected, due to the splendid weather conditions at the city series and also at the western amateur champion ship game when the Murphy-Did-Its, city champions, carried off the hon ors by defeating the crack Gordon Fergusons of St. Paul.

Captains of league teams can help the hustling committee to a great extent by sending in their own entries without being called on. t-very organized team is expected and should be entered. A large local entry is necessary to make the tour nament a success. By boosting this tournament vou are boosting your own game and also your city. It is surely worth support, or the pub licity bureau of the Chamber of Commerce would not be behind it as it is. Only one entry has been received from St. Louis, but this is not inter preted to mean that they will not be here with a strong force. Rumors are afloat that the Mound City will put in a strong bid for next season's tournament and will make an eleventh-hour entry here with a huge flock of teams to roll on the first Saturday and Sunday when the official meeting of the association is held. They have always been counted on for at least 10, teams. Present plans are for separate nights being reserved for teams representing one industry. Nights for the various banks in the city, also several auto firms, are prac tically assured. There will also be retailers', wholesalers' and manufac turers' nights. If the entire Grain Exchange team enters, they, too, will be givena special night. The Lincoln, Fretriont, Wahoo and Grand Island teams are slow and a total of 650 players on the roster. s It was also pointed out that the season just closed was one of the greatest ever witnessed here, but it is expected that next season will be, by far, greater. There has been some talk about extending the association to govern all branches of athletics next year, but nothing definitely has as yet been decided upon. Many of the directors are in favor of such a move.

Harrington's brown gelding, by Jack Atkin Africa, took down the purse in the Pursing handicap at Churchill Downs. I-Win came from far back to nip Top Coat for the place. The winner took the lead at the rise of the barrier and held sway all the way. For the first time during the pres ent meeting the talent went astray in the opening number and suffered extensively as a result of Bon Tromp's failure to land a part of the purse. His recent races entitled him to a place of favoritism among those he met this afternoon, but he lacked speed and was always far back. The early running was domi nated by Port Light and Apple Jack II. When the former gave it up, Apple Jack II drew out to win de cisively. Ruby Showed Heels. Ruby showed her heels to a good band that started in the second race and led from the start to ultimately win as her rider pleased. Her recent good trials brought a big band of converts to her standard, but Blue Jeans, which finished secpnd, also absorbed considerable attention. The Harry Payne Whitney colors were carried to victory in the third race, when Wendy managed to out stay the supposed "good thing, Valley Park Maid, after a hard drive, Accelerate landing in third place. Some good youngsters went in this race, with Valley Park Maid, fav ored most and supported by the "smart set." Marse John earned the decision in the fourth race, in which some highly rated platers met, and in which Skiles Knob ruled favorite and showed a bad effort, being out run from the start and never figur ing seriously at any time.
