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. Those wishing to enter are
urged to get in touch with the "Y"
officials at once, as it is expected to
start the league shortly after the
holidays.
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

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. .

' Times have changed since Hector was a freshman in the dog hospi
tal. 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. .

BOWLING
By C. J. 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.

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

west cities that they are sending not

but a special representative to the

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-

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.

CLAPHAM STARTS
TRAINING FOR
GADDOCK MILL
British Champion Trying to
Land Ivan Linow to
Be Chief of His Condi-
tioning Staff.
Chicago, Nov. 18. (Special.)
Sam Clapham, light heavyweight
wrestling champion of Great Britain,
has started a hard grind of training
for his contest for International hon
ors with Earl Caddock at Omaha, on
December 5, next. Sam is nego
tiating with several local heavy
weichts to work with him and in
couple of days, he will have his
training staff lined up and on the
Job.
The Englishman is especially
anxious to secure the services of
Ivan Linow, the giant Russian, but
the big Russ asks for such enor
mous inducements, that it is doubt
ful if the Englishman can see his
way to meet the demands. Charley
Cutler has already agreed to assist
Sam in his preparations. Johnny
Meyers, the irfiddleweight crack, has
also signified his interest in Sam
and will give a hand.
The Russian is most desired for
the purpose, because he combines
wonderful speed and endurance,
with his 190 pounds of remarkable
muscular development and in the
matter of the science of the sport
there are none better in the heavy
weight class. Local followers ol
the game, who favor the English.
against the American titl
holder, are exerting their utmost
influence to induce the foreign giant
to shave his price to a reasonable
figure and join the Clapham camp
as trainer-in-chief.
The Briton will do a lot of road
work in his schedule, five' miles at
the least, every morning and until
four days before the date of the
match will spend two hours in the
gym and most of that time will be
consumed on the mat. Sam figures
he will enter the ring weighing
around the 190-pound mark, which
will bring him in -at his very best.
To do this he will have to take off
a matter of IS pounds.
