One of the biggest surprises thus fir this season in the Pre-season basket ball league happened last . night when the Fontenelles, tail eiders, defeated the crack Kirk- woods, leaders of the league, in one of the hardest foucht games bv the Rcnr nf 18 tr 11 thrphxr hrpL-Jno- tie Kirkwoods consecutive string ,et, victories. By losing their first game of the season and the Minne Lusas taking , the Bemis Parks to a 29 to 8 trim ming, bothjd'rkwood and the Minne - Lusas are tied for first honors. 'Adams and Everson Responsible. Adams and Swede Everson were responsible for the Fontenelle's vic tory. The Kirkwood five started off like victors, scoring two field eoals before the Fontenelles were able to register, but were soon overtaken when Adams and Everson started to shoot goals from the center of the Soor. Verne Moore, who made his Initial appearance with the Minne Lusa quintet, pulled his teammates to victory, as he made 19 of the 29 points. The Kountze park team also sprung a surprise when they won over the Union Squares by a 12 to 8 score and the Idlewilds defeated the Morningside quintet, 14 to 11. A larire crowd attended last night's games at; the local "Y" andJ were well satished with the out comes, as all four games were fast aid snappy and kept tlie spectators guessing until the finish. ' v Chairman Yerne Moore of the "Y" basket ball committee an nounced last night that indications at present point to a most successful season in the Church league. The league will be limited to eight teams and the first eight sending in their application and entry fee will be given a franchise, according to Moore.

Commerce Has Chance For State Honors if Beatrice Is Defeated With Central High school out of the race for the state championship, the HiglxSchool of Commerce war riors will endeavor to win the state honors for Omaha by trouncing the Beatrice High eleven. These squads will tangle Friday afternoon on the Beatrice field. Coach Drummond had his war riors scrimmage against the second squad yesterday and today they will scrimmage against the fast eleven from the University of Omaha. The ousiness lads are preparing to meet a hard foe and do not wish to have any weak spots on the squad. Although the odds are against the local warriors-, they will attempt to put the Blue river lads out of the race for the championship. The Beatrice squad is composed of many stars and veterans, while the busi ness lads will not have many vt er:ns. Foot ball followers expect the business lads to .upset the dope Fri day by ' giving their opponents a good trimming. Coach Drummond confident that his team will return l)ome with the bacon. "Pal" of Joe Stecher Routs Strongarm Man in Fremont Fremont, Neb., Nov. 18. (Spe cial.) Lester Hasson, a member of the Joe Stecher base ball team of Dodge, when returning to his home here was accosted by a strongarm man. Hasson, who weighs 21a pounds dropped his assailant with a blow. While Hasson was looking around to determine if the high wayman had any accomplices his assailant disappeared. Hasson broke two bones in his arm when he de livered the blow. . PIUrmNGTIfliv NEXT ON OVER THE OLD GRAD CHIRPS. E will all be there today in the Bowl that cheers, but does not in ebriate. forty years ago, the Bowls weren t so large, but there were more of 'em. I never saw 70,000 people' packed in one stadium back in the s-arly seventies, but the few who were there could grab off a snifter without having to veto any of the numerous congres sional amendments. "TO 3ir w Ten administrations ago let's make it 40 years. Administrations are so sad. Forty years ago, no Yale-Princeton ganfe was complete with out a shot of hootch between the halves. To make matters worse, the game is now divided into four periods instead of two halves. In the old days, that would have meant four hootches instead of two. Now, it means nothing except four periods. . We gness congress knows best, but they tell me that there are so many amendments oeing tacitea to tn original constitution tnat tne chaplain of the senate' winds up his daily opening prayer with "Amend" instead of "Amen."

In the old days, the sophomore year was known as porgery. There were no such things as juniors and seniors. Time, which dulls the memory and sharpens the thirst, lays its heavy hand on the power of recollection. The mint julep leaf succeeds the rosemary as the flower of remembrance. I recall that the freshman was known as the freshie in 1870. The parlance of the underworld does not change. When Princeton played the Yales in 70 it was a two-day trip be tween the collges. The New York, New Haven & Hartford was just starting instead of iust stoppinz., Pullman hadn't originated his sleepless cars, and the first call for the diner consisted of a dive into the ring bag for a mouse-chewed cheese sandwich. But we were a care-free bunch in those days. Princeton students cheered as well in defeat as in victory, orobablv due to the fact that they had more practice in the former. I remember that the game was just as rough in those days, but the players could stand more. Skulls hadn't been softened by algebra and syntax. No old-time foot ball player allowed studying to interfere with a college education. Some of the bovs used to drive in an old one-hoss shay from Prince ton to New Haven. There were no F. O. B.'s Detroit in which you could jump and arrive at your destination as fast as some service station car could tow you. In the old days, changing the gears meant dropping the reins and picking up the whip. Slipping from low to high meant building a fire under the old Hag. Times have changed, but the constables are still the same. The old game has changed considerably, too. You can't recognize the plays now any more than you could recognize the old play ers after a few scrimmages. I remember when some Yale lad kicked our captain inthe nose and the Princeton boy ate his ear for dessert. Show ing that science will always conquer Drute sirengui. When I see the bovs out there my head jerks up like an old fire horse speini? some nut smoke a cigaret in bed. But an old codge like myself doesn't belong to this modern game where there is no fraternal drinking either in defeat or in victory. I guess we old-timers belong behind the towel rack with the man whomade his millions out of bromo seltzer. . BETTING ODDS HANOE TO EVEN ON GIBBONS BOUT Waqers of 2 to 1 on Gib bons Have Slumped and His Backers Refuse to Give Odds: St. 'Paul, Minn., Nov. 18. An un usual change in betting sentiment on the 10-round bout here Novem ber 21 between Mike O'Dowd, mid die weight champion, and Mike' Gib bers, has been noticed by Twin City sport editors. Three weeks ago, Gibbons was considered a 2 to 1 favorite. Even money was 'today said to be the standard. - Both fighters live in St. Paul and are traimne here, sport writers de clare that Gibbons is not showing his old time form, whereas O'Dowd's workouts have been re- feired to as the reason for the shift in the betting odds. Cannefax Takes Lead In Three-Cushion' Play By Win Over Maupoffle Cleveland, Nov. 18. R. L.

In the 48th inning Maupome was 12 points behind. He passed Canne fax in the 54th inning by two points. Cannefax came back with runs of four, one and two and took the match. Charles Otis of Brooklyn, de feated Clarence Jackson of Detroit, 50 to 39 in 57 innings. Cinnefax of New York and Pierre Maupome of Milwaukee were the winners of the afternoon games of the three-cushion billiard champion ship tournament. Cannefax defeated Byron Gillette of Buffalo, SO to 39, in 83 innings and Maupome won from Otto Rei- selt of Chicago, 50 to 40, in 56 in nings. Cannefax's seven was the high run of the day.

CAIN. Middlewest Tournament Notes Friday night is the night and 7:30 o'clock is the hour for the festivi ties in connection with the tourna ment to commence. Mayor Smith, Commissioner Dan Butler and a host of bowling celebrities will be on hand to give the big meet the right start. ' The huge grandstand will be com pleted so that all may have a seat. The alleys are all ready and the other construction and preparations will be finished when the song rings. The entertainment committee will feature again, but with a different line of stuff. This time it wi!l be coffee and sandwiches. "Dad" Huntington will conduct this part of the program and he is experienced at it, too. For the benefit of those bowlers entered who have never participated in a large tournament it should be made plain the promptness expect ed of them when they are scheduled to roll. The schedule of a large tournament must move like clock work. There can be, and will be no delays in waiting for those en tered to arrive. The play will start at the time scheduled and those who are not on time will be left out. Team captains are expected to see the secretary 30 minutes before the time their respective teams are scheduled to roll. There is no chance for appeal and no chance to shoot later in the tournament. Help the tournament officials by co-operating with them. Their task is a difficult one at the best. iveamcy ....... Doane 1 Central GAMES LAS? WEEK. York, 40; Cotner. 0.

York vs. Nebraska Freshm.m at Lincoln. By KARL LEE. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 18. (Special) The Hastings claim to the state championship by reason of their early season defeat of York by a score of 13 to 14 was put to silence last week when the Bronchos phyed the weak Doane Tigers to a 0 to 0 tie. Coach Ben Beck of Wesleyan uni versity had received numerous let ters from the Hastings institution up to last week's game asking that Wesleyan and Hastings phy a final late season game for the state title. The reason given was that both col leges have severed relations with York college and now considered the title above the present cham-. pions. "York is Champion." "York is champion," was Beck's brief reply. "If you can convince me otherwise or that you have a definite claim on the state title, I won't consider a game." Meanwhile the York team pressed its title in more tightly by swamp ing the Cotner Bulldogs, Coach Kline's phenoms, to the tune of. 40 to 0. The game was played on York soil and word in Lincoln was to the effect that Ernie Frank was minus several of his star linesmen when the battle started. The Bulldogs fought a clean fight, however. The Kearney team in its badly tortured condition will be spared another lopsided trouncing at York next Friday for the York authori ties have scheduled a game" with the University - of Nebraska Freshmen eleven to take place on Nebraska field Saturday and hence have can celed the Kearney game. The Nor malites are now probably out for the season unless their regulars ef fect a come back in studies. ' Midland college of Fremont showed strong in Friday's game, defeating Nebraska Central, trailers in the' state conference easily, 29 to 0. The Central lads were in the game the entire way, however, ac cording to reports and it was a much stronger Fremont aggregation than that which began the season that achieved victory. In the absence of a game by the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers this Saturday the state college games and the Nebraska Freshmen-York games will hold the central stage. Wesleyan and Cotner, long rivals in fact, since state colleges began to play foot ball meet at University Place. The day has been nominated "Homecoming day" for Wesleyan grads. Doane and" Central meet at Crete. The chances are that the Tigers will crawl one notch higher from the bottom of the conference scale, while Central will descend one step farther down. Willard's "Come-Back" Is Not Taken Seriously By Fans "Jess Could Probably Defeat Other Contenders and Should Do So Before Asking for Return Bout With Dempsey Says New York Writer Meehan Or Miske Entitled to Chance. Bowlers should offer their ser vices to Secretary Eidson without being requested. There are a hundred places to use men, such as scorers, foul men, office assistants, doorkeepers, and numerous other tasks. Those who did not help get entries, now have a chance to do their part. Those who have been placed on teams without expense, owe it to the tournament officials to help them out during the big rush. The season ticket sale is heavy. More interest is being displayed in this season's event than those of former seasons, due probably to the fact that there are more pin cracks and ex-champions entered this year than ever before. Bowlers still needed to fill teams. Those who are not lined up can be placed on a team entry fee paid. Secretaries hidson and Jarosh are making up the teams. One lone entry from Casper, Wyo. Fred Van Dyke. He couldn't pick up a team, so he is coming alone. That's the spirit. So anxious are the Interiatnonal Biwling association officials of St. Psul and Minneapolis to secure en tries from Omaha and other middle west cities that they are sending not only a big delegation of bowlers, but a special representative to the annual meeting in . the person of led jronewald, who has been the popular secretary of that organiza tion lor several yean Omaha Fans to Be Met By St. Paul Business Men and Brass Band The crowd of 100 Omaha boxing, fans, going to St. Paul on the "Me lady Special" tq witness the middle weight championship battle between Mike Gibbons and Champion Mike O'Dowd on Fridajr night, will be met by a delegation of St. Paul business men. The Omaha and St. Paul men will parade up the main "stem," headed by a brass band. Moving pictures of the parade of fans will be taken, the arrangements for this being made by1 the St. Paul Business Men's club. ' The fans, with reservations, through Melady's efforts, are en thusiastic" and predict a "high old time" on the trip. A few local men, who, for some reason were too late getting their orders for reserva tions in Melady's hands, will make the trip independently and join the crowd of "special" fans in the Twin City. Cars Hurried to Western Nebraska to Save Wheat Side tracks were denuded and all idle freight cars in Council Bluffs railroad yards were gathered yester day and the day before and sent westward. About 300 were found and were dispatched- to points in w stern Nebraska, where they will be used to save from further ruin about 1,000,000 bushels of wheat that has been rotting on the farms and bursting from small overloaded ele vvtors.. . New York,' Nov. 18. The public will not take the reports seriously about Jess Willard being anxious to fight Dempsey again until he goes out and beats some other fight ers and shows that he had regained a semblance of his fighting ability. Willard perhaps would like to sign with Dempsey without both ering with any one else. He might figure that the bout would draw well, and that the lpser's end would be sufficient-compensation for his efforts. The public is easy going, forget ful and often bunked. But it would hardly fall for Jess after his pitiful exhibition at Toledo on July 4 last, unless he gave evidence of war ranting some confidence. As a matter of fact. Willard in all probability cannot get in condition for a real hard fight. He looked all right and thought he was in shape at Toledo, but he wasn't If Wil lard doesn't thjnk that he is passe, there is one way for him to pJe it. That is to go out and trai for six or eight weeks doing a lot of road work, and then face some fairly hard puncher like Bill Brenan or Fred Fulton, in the ring. Should he be able to stop either of these men, then he would be jus tified asking consideration for a re turn bout with Dempsey. Sets Himself. The fact that Willard was prac tically knocked out in one round by Dempsey does not mean that none of the smaller men has a chance to go the limit with him. Dempsey never did have any trouble with the big fellows. He could set himself and hit with all his might, and the bigfellow was right there to eet the I full force of the blow. The smaller l r i , aim lasicr men caused mm more trouble and it is from that class that his opponent should be selected. There is reason to think that Dempsey will have room for im provement in his boxing. When training with Bill Tate and the Ja maica Kid for the Willard battle Dempsey was hit hard and often by his hired help. One of his helpers cut his eye open and Tate knocked him down. I he Dempsey knockers assert that Tate has to take a fall himself on the following day in order to square it. On the face of things Willie Mee han, the 'Frisco fat boy, appears t have the most logical reason for de manding the first match with Demp sey. Meehan holds a referee's de cision over Jack and the latter never could do the Californian any great amount of harm. On' the other hand, Meehan has shown himself in the east on several occa sions, and eastern boxing followers are fully satisfied that he is a joke fighter. The Caljfornian ha no standing here, so that a Dempsey Meehan match would not be a very popular one. Miske Next Best. Next to Meehan, Billy Miske has made the best showing with Dempsey. Miske held him almost even in a 10-round bout and later, in a six-round bout at Philadelphia he made Dempsey go at top speed all the way. It is said that Dempsey held Miske up on both occasions, but it is hard to believe that be cause there is no apparent reason why he should have made an excep tion in Miske's case. He certainly did not hold up any of the others he met and stopping Miske would have boosted his stock more than anything else he could have done at the time he was looking for the Willard match. It looked as though Dempsey was doing his best to stop Miske, but the latter foiled him by using; jab and grab tactics. At the end of the six rounds Dempsey plainly was tired, while Miske was on the point of total exhaustion. That aid not make it look as though the bout was a prearranged affair. Miske is in poor health at the present time and is in no condition for a match. but the fact that his speed and skill i te j i-, ! i . ., uaniea uempsey indicates tnat a clever boxer has a good chance to go the limit with the titleholder. However, clever heavyweights are just as scarce as good sluggers. The cleverest of the contenders probably is Battling Levinsky. Le vinsky was knocked out in three rounds by Dempsey, which seems to put him out of the running. But the inside facts regarding that af fair never have been published. It is quite possible that if Levinsky trained properly he would-be able to stick out the full eight rounds. Levinsky Harmless Tapper. Levinsky is the Freddie Welsh of the heavies, a harmless tapper whose bouts' are too tame to be interesting. But if he was matched with Demp sey the contest might be interesting. Dempsey could be depended on to furnish the excitement and Levinsky is clever enough to make the cham pion go at top speed to catch him. If Bill Brennan.got the match the bout would be full of action of a more serious kind. Brennan is game and would fight back to the test of his ability. He carries a more hefty wallop than Levnsky, but he is not in Dempsey's class as a slugger. Brennan has an awkward? cramped style and of late his development has been greatly retarded by illness. He probbaly would be knocked out in a few rounds, but it would be a fight while it lasted. There is hardly a doubt that Fred Fulton can beat any of the chal lengers. At first glance that should make him the logical opponent for the champion. As a matter of fact, matching Fulton with Dempsey would be the worst mistake the pro moter could make. Paralyzed By Fright. Fulton was knocked out by Demp sey because the big fellow was so paralyzed by fright that he could not defend himself. If he were frightened stiff before he ever sam pled Dempsey's tremendous wallops it stands to reason he would have even less chance in a return go, especially now that Dempsey is a champion and therefore a more awe inspiring opponent. It was agreed on all sides when Fulton made his fake confession that he had read himself out of the party. Men of his stamp are a rnenace to the sport and he deserves , no further consideration. If a match should be arranged between Joe Beckett, the English man, and Dempsey, it will be even money that the Englishman will not last through the first round. A fighter who needed 17 rounds to dispose of Eddie McGoorty should not be allowed in the same ring with Dempsey. Carpentier probably would last longer than Beckett. The French man is a clever boxer and he might be able to keep out of harm's way for a few rounds. But Car pentier has been out of the ring too long to be a serious factor in heavy weight affairs. In fact, it will be no great surprise if Beckett beats him when they face each other on December 4. TA- J J nil i iiir W rPHE matchmaker of AI Fiorl's Council Bluffa Athletic association reports that managers of boxers from all over the country are writing him, asking for early engagements in Council Bluffs. The matchmaker is replying to each letter, tell ing the managers that they will get their chance in the Bluffs as soon as the game ia firmly established. The present outlook is for a winter of real classy boxing matches over there. Gene Gannon, ban tamweight champion of Wisconsin is anx ious to show in the Bluffs, Ritchie and Pinkie Mitchell would like to try a bout there and a host of ethers seem anxious to go it a whirl. T5EF0RE any consideration can be given the scrappers writing in for bouts, the show for November 28 must first be taken care of, and after that, the card for De cember V2 must be arranged. On No vember 28, the much talked of return bout between Harry Williams and Hilly Uvick will take place. following their sensational four-round bout, the fans are anxious to see them come together again. There was no decision rendered in the first meeting, but the second mill between the two, will result in a decisive victory for one or the other, aa Kiori has been assured that referee's decisions, as a means of settling arguments and disputes after the contests, would be permissable. Therefore, Billy and Harry will have to step their best in order to gain a verdict. ANOTHER element that should encour- age the scrappers in the main event on the 28th, is the fact that the winner will get the date on December 12. Johnny Sudenberg, veteran of over 100 battles, a returned Boldier, will be matched with the winner of the Williams-Uvick bout. Sud enberg declares that either Williams or Uvick would be "duck soup" for htm and he has already started training in pre paration for the bout with the victor in the 28th bout. ANOTHER challenge to the winner of the Williams-Uvick bout, has been sent in by "Biddy" Bishop, manager of Dick O'Brien, the Cincinnati Jjeavy weight. Bishop claims O'Brien is the heivyweight champion of Ohio and would have an easy time defeating either Williams or UWclt. He has seen Uvick in some of his boutn back east and he states that O'Brien could bent Uvick. as the hutchpr bov un, at that time, and he is certain that the crack against the uniHiia scrapper nun hui inifruveu any since he had his eastern battles. He fig ures that Williams cannot be greatly su perior to Uvick, since harry could not beat Billy in their four-round bout, thus, O'Brien would have no trouble in whiD- Ving the ex-ball player, either. "CMORI'S announcement that a "Mystery Man" would be Charlie Peters' op ponent, has aroused considerable comment. Some fans have remarked that it is only a dodge of Fiori's to get out his advertis ing before he had actually closed a match, but the fact is, the wrestler, whoever he is, has posted a substantial forfeit with the promoter, to bind the contract. He states that he will allow his name to be announced from the ring, on the night of the match, but would rather not let it be known until that time. He also says he has met some of the leading heavyweight wrestlers in the country and is even now acting as training partner for one ot tne best in tne world. He is so certain that he will pin the wrestling sher iff's shoulders to the mat, that he wants to make a wager with Jack Lewis, the manager tor reters. rpHERE is a matter of importance, left with the sports editor, for the con sideration of Jack Fitzgerald, the old time middleweight scrapper, now conceded to be the best referee in this section, follow ing his performance in the Drexel-Calla- ban bout. If Jack will call at the writer's desk some evening this week, it will be to his advantage. With the Bowlers. SOl'TH SIDE I.EAGCE. South Side Cafeterla.l Koutsky-Pavlik.

North Platte Plays Tie Game With .Gothenburg Gothenburg. Neb., Nov. 18. (Special Telegram.) North Platte and Gothenburg Hihg school foot ball teams played here Tuesday to a tie. The visitors scored a touch down a few minutes after play started by an intercepted forward pass on their own 1-yard line. North Platte missed goal. Gothen burg scored a touchdown, also, in the first quarter, but missed goal, Kaine carrying the ball over. The game, which had been post poned from last Friday, was played in a sea of mud. The play was al most entirely in North Platte ter ritory. North Platte made first down only three times, while the locals negotiated the required 10 yards seven times. "Captain Roberts of Gothenburg was the most consistent ground gainer, while his passes were well executed, but owing to the slippery condition his teammates were un able to hang onto the ball.
