Monday night has Veen made Omaha Grain Exchange night on the schedule. An entire squad of teams representing grain firms will occupy the runways. There are sev eral good teams in the lineup, so the pins ought to drop for some healthy totals. . t .' Several outside entries were turned back because they requested dates on the schedule already filled by other teams. This only illus trates the importance of getting en tries in early. There are, still many bowlers en tered in the doubles who are not lined up with partners. Any bowler not entered in this event can do so by taking one of the many places left open for team partners. See Secretaries Eidson and Jarosh for the list. Thursday night, next week has been made special night for Omaha bank teams. Nine teams, represent ing local banks,, will compete on that night.

Ibis contest will be watched with keen interest by all coaches of the state ana especially (oacn ivieaa oi the Lincoln high eleven. If the local squad should win from the Beatrice warriors they must play the Capital City lads before they can claim the state honors, ' Cpach Drummond does not ex pect his warriors to be caught "nap ping' this afternoon, as he has drilled them on all the plays that Coach Garreth used against Central high last week. The first squad scrim maged until a late hour yesterday afternoon with the "Scrubs." Every play that has been used in a foot ball game this year will be used. The business lads jumped a notch higher Wednesday afternoon when they played the Omaha University in a practice game. One touchdown and a drop-kick go to the credit of the .Commerce warriors. When it, was at first announced that the business lads-were to play against the Omaha Uni team, it was ex pected tha latter would pile -up about 100 tallies, but the outcome of the; game was in favor of the business lads.

The 17 men were each placed under $200 bail Late this afternoon the entire stu dent body voted unanimously to strike Friday. Pickets will be placed around the school grounds to pre vent students from attending classes until 15 students suspended in con nection with , the hazing are rein stated. Members, of "the foot ball team also decided to strike. Dr. H. H. Apple, president of the college, said the board of directors would stand by its decision suspend ing the students. Sinn Fein Members Won't Swear Allegiancelto King New York, Nov. 20. J. ' L. Fawsitt, "council of the Irish re public" in this city, announced that he had received a cable message from Lian De Roiste (William Roche)' Sinn Fein member from Cork City, denying a dispatch quot ing him as saying that the Sinn Fein members of parliament intended to take their seats and swear allegiance to the king.. , ' Fawsitt quoted Roche as saying such a statement was "a monstrous falsehood." He added he was certain that no Sinn Fein intended to enter parliament and that aey intima tions to that effect were British propaganda, t- - Jrom The A POINT is well taken by one of my readers, one D. L. S., who encloses clipping! with his letter, crediting Tommy O'Brien with being the Pacific coast light weight champion, and reviewing the battle for the title of the entire western country between O'Brien and Pat Gilbert. The read er's letter is as follows: "I am enclosing clippings from the Salt Lake City papers concerning a match be tween Tommy O'Brien, lightweight cham pion of the Pacific coast, and Pat Gilbert, champion lightweight of the inter-mountain states. Here in Omaha we thought Jimmy Drexel held the title claimed by O'Brien. As you will note, this bout between O'Brien and Gilbert was a draw. Can you en lighten me as to who is the lightweight champion of the Pacific coast, if anyone, or is that too far away for you 7" Iln a postscript, the writer of the letter adds a number of complimentary remarks, for which I am grateful, and he also adds that a match between O'Brien and either Drexel or Callahan would make a good one for this section. He also says he hopes that some more bouts like the Callahan Drexel mill may be staged in this locality before long. TN answer to this query.' I must state frankly, that I do not know "positively who is the real lightweight champion of the Pacific coast. Jimmy Drexel boxed the ac credited champion of that district a few years ago and defeated him. He was hailed as the lightweight ehampion of the coast, after winning from the champion at that time. Drexel left that section of the country and came this far east. Leaving the district, for which he had defended championship honors.' he naturally forfeited the title. In a series of contests between contenders for the title. Tommy O'Brien defeated one of the Attel boys ani a num ber of other claimants and was finally con ceded to .have the best claim to the title, since Drexel was not in that section to de fend the honors any more. At this time, it may be depended upon, that O'Brien is the Pacific coast Ilehtweiarht ehamnion. Should Drexel ever show on the coast again ha would have to beat O'Brien in order to again be , considered tha title holder. rpHE point taken by D. L. S. will be given serious consideration. It may be that a matcn may be arranged between O Brien and either Drexel or Callahan. The letter was referred to tha matchmaker ot the Council Bluffs Athletic association, and in this article, to tha promoter of the Fart Umaha bouts, Denny Ryan, and ona of the other of these two nay try to book such a 6out. It would undoubtedly make a great match and as these two organisations are working toward the same end, to give lov ers of the boxing game a fair shake at the sport they are interested in and provide high class entertainment in the way of classy performers, it is more .thna likely that an effort will be made to induce O'Brien to meet either Drexel or Callahan. Callahan, being the winner at the Fort Omaha snow, some fans may think they would rather see O'Brien against the Columbus, O., boy. Others may want to see Drexel in another contest to give him a chance to "come back" into favor with local boxing followers. If you have an opinion on the matter, write to the sports editor and your written opinion may have some influence with the matchmakers of the two clubs in this locality. TONIGHT the fireworks in the middle x weight boxing division will be touched off. Champion Mike O'Dowd will defend the honors against the wonderfully clever Mike Gibbons in St. Paul this evening. While my readers are perusing this column it is likely that I will be talking with one or the other of the two gladiators. Early in the week I made a selection as to the winner, picking Gibbons to outpoint O Dowd. Due to the reports emanating from the training Quarters of the boxers. I am afraid I must qualify my statement somewnat. This may appear to De a neage. but what man making a wager would not hedge If the possibilities were against' Rim afterward? O'Dowd appears to be 3 bet ter form than ever before, while the "Phamtom" is laid to be in poor shape and considerably overweight.,. His work in training is nothing like what was ex pected of him and a number of his close friends are greatly disappointed in his work. Even at that. I think I sort of like Gibbons to win a shade, but whether he does or not, it's dollars to doughnuts that the bout goes ' the limit of 10 rounds, O'Dowd will never put crafty Mike out and the chances of Gibbons knocking tha champion out were never good. THE present bantam champion, Pete Herman, is something of a mystery to eastern boxing fans. In every bout he takes part in he shows only flashes of championship form, hut smiles wisely when it is remarked that he cannot seem to hold the pace. It mav be that Pete is going back to the old time-worn style of allowing the fighters, fans and pro- moters to think that he has slipped. The time may come, when his pulling his nunches will become a habit that he can not break and then he will find himself unable to let go when he needs the heavy hitting tevwin for him. Some of the new crop of little fellows mav catch him at it and slip over a decisive win on him and grab that championship. When that time comes. Herman will again be con sidered nothing but a preliminary boy. His advent to the charmed title circle was flashy, but it takes but little to prefix and ex to tha champion, when they get "too wise Cubs Train at Pasadena. Pasadena. Cal.. Nov. 20. The Chicago National Base Ball club will train here next March if it may use the Tournament of Roses ball park, according to a telegram re ceived from the club bv the city commissioner?. It is believed there will be no difficult - in making: the desired arrangement LONG SCHEDULE ARRANGED FOR CENTRAL CAGERS Coach Books Thirteen Games On Local Floors and Sev eral Basket Ball Contests Abroad. The 1920 basket ball schedule was announced Tuesday by Coach Harold Mulligan of the Central High school, i Thirteen games on the local floors have already been planned,' with the possibility of a game with the Commercial High school (juintet on one of the open dates. The ganes will be played cn the Y. M. C A. or Creighton floors as last year. Practice last year was obtained on visiting floors. This season the Central lads have a sort of a gymnasium of their own. Only recently has the floor been in condition for the basket flippers. Seven scheduled games ' will be played on the "Y" or Creighton floors. The first trip out of the city will be taken across the river on .January 16. The first; big road game will be played with the Lin coln five on January 24. The state tournament will be staged at the Armory floor at Lincoln. This year only three days have been al lowed for the elimination of teams. Other years an extra day was set aside. ' , Same Lineup. Central High has practically the same lineup as last year, excepting Paul Konecky. Konecky has been up at the school helping the lads with massages and rub downs. Leo Konecky. brother of Paul, will be seen in the1 purple and white Betting Odds Again Switcfi in Favor of - Crafty -Mike Gibbons St: Paul, Minn., Novi 20. Middle weight Champion Mike O'Dowd, and Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul phantom, completed , training for their 10-round bout here Friday night, so far as boxing is concerned. Both fighters declared they were at weight and in top notch condition. Twin City newspapers, announced that the prevailing odds have in creased to 10 to 7 on Gibbons, as a consequence of his improved show ing this week. One reason given for the fact that Gibbons has be come the favorite is the opinion of some experts that O'Dowd's wide open style will prove an asset for Gibbons, 'provided the phantom can prove he is the wonderful boxer he was three years ago. Want Sunday Game. The Imperial foot ball team de sires to book a game for Sunday with some 125-pound eleven. Man agers desiring to book a game for Sunday may arrange it by calling Tyler 4871.

Eugene Corey, the famour ring official of England, in a letter to Sam Clapham, advises that mat artist, that the National Sporting club of London is contemplating the revival of the wrestling game throughout Great Britain and that if Sam can succeed in annexing the American championship from Earl Caddock on the fifth of next month, he can return to his native land at once, with the assurance of the big gest purse paid to a wrestler since Hackenschmidt's time. The wrestling game in England has been as dead as a herring since the fall of their idol, George Hack enschmidt, at the hands of Frank Gotch in Chicago in that memonble "go." For a long time the word "wrestling" was taboo among fol lowers of physical contests of alt classes. t is only recently that a little interest has been reawakened by the tournaments held among the soldier athletes. Especially when they saw their little countryman, Clapham, win victory after victory from competitors of class and was given the title of light heavyweight champion of Europe including Great Britain that astute promoters be an figuring on the possibilities of packing houses with the old mat game. The glad news from his homeland Syracuse Eleven to Stop Here Monday; Kellogg Back in Game Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 20, (Special Telegram.) The reappearance of Sam Kellogg, veteran end of var sity, strengthened Cornhusker hopes in anticipating the coming contest with the Syracuse university foot tall eleven, champions of the east, on Thanksgiving day. . Coach Schulte promptly gave the Nebraska City lad, who two weeks ago was taken to the hospital suf fering from an acute attack of in fluenza, a chance at his old position, which is now held by Herb Dana of Fremont. Speculation on the outcome of the Syracuse game is rampant in Husker circles. The stands at Nebraska field daily are packed with Lincoln sportsmen, who are glimpsing the team at first hand. The New Yorkers will arrive in Omaha Monday to stay four days. I Today's Calendar of Sports. Karlag: Continuation of fall meeting of Maryland association at Bowie. Bowling: Annual tournament of Mld Krsl Bowling association opens at Omaha, toxlng: Hike Gibbons against Mike O'Dowd. 10 rounds, at St. Paul. has fired Clapham with added am bition to beat his American rival for world honors and return to the place of his birth for the assured fame and fortune that,awaits him. With this in mind, Sam is leaving no stone unturned to be perfect in every shape and manner when he faces Caddock and as sure as fate, if Earl is not fully as right as he was when he won the title, he will go down to defeat. The English boy will "blow" this country on the first ship and it wilr be many a year before an American can get another crack at the world's crown.
