twenty-nine vears nf fnnt k,ii
were brought to a closi at the Uni
versity of Nebraska on Thanksgiv
aay last, with the most momentous
victory ever achieved hv th Hcu,
over the Syracuse university eleven.
In three decades, fraught with an
avalanche of victories for the Scar
let and Cream, many great teams of
the nation have been met and de
feated. Among these are Michigan,
JNotre Dame. Minnesota Vr,.e.
and, the Oregon Aggies of the west.
Ranks With Leaders.
Today the Cornhuskers rank on
even terms with the best foot ball
elevens of the nation, looked up to
by critics both east and west. From
a purely local limelight, the Neb
raska eleven has passed through
the Missouri Valley conference, the
Western conference, into a national
sun light. j
At Lincoln, preceding the great
Husker-Orange J game on Thanks
giving, day, three or four stars of
old, including Johnny Westover
and Bender, met in Grant's armory
and conspired to rut before the pub
lic eye pnee more the stars that
shined in the years gone by.
Above is their selection.
Nebraska entered the state foot
ball arena in 189020 years afte
the inception of the game in Ameri
ca as played according to a mixed
English rugby and "association foot
ball" rules. The first team was
guided by one E. E. Mockett, half
back, who both coached and cap
tained it.
Trimmed "Big Three."
In less than a year the game had
a marked grip on the school curri- j
culum. Kansas, Missouri and Iowa,
among .the first year's competitors,
were taken to trimmings. In the
second year the Cornhusker team
made its bow as an organized unit.
Foot ball in those days was a vastly
different game from that now play
ed. Brawn and muscle were the
whole difference in teams.
But the Huskers have kept pace.
"Charlie" Thomas, famed ex
Michigan end and present news
editor of The Bee, who coached Ne
braska back in '95, recalls the strug
gles of the days of yore. At all
times the Huskers were the Hons in
the state. Michigan and Minnesota
found this to their chagrin.
With "King" Cole, who came to
Nebraska in the early 90s, the Husk
ers sprang into prominence in the
western foot ball world. The "King"
gave to Nebraska a marvelous team
-Mhe one that took Minnesota to a
trimming. And also he placed the
Huskers on a scientific basis. i
Brought Nebraska Fame.
Coach Ewald O. Steim. who first
connected with the Scarlet and
Cream, along in 1910, brought Ne
braska its greatest fame. In five
years the Huskers won consecutive
tnampionsnips ana tooK tne scalp of
Notre Dame, the Michigan Aggies
and trampled Iowa. Kansas and

Beckett Will Receive No
.Consideration Over Here
Must First (Defeat Some of the American Lesser
Lights Before He Can Expect to Be Placed in
. Light of Contender for Jack Dempsey's World's
Title.
Files
New York, Nov. 30. Jack Demp
sey is reported to have signed tenta
tive articles of agreement for a 20
round battle with Joe Beckett for
the heavyweight title at New Or
leans March 17, but it is decidedly
doubtful whether the men will face
each other in the ring on that date.
Apparently Beckett's consent to
the match has yet to be obtained
and it may prove to be a decidedly
difficult matter to get the English
man's signature to a set of articles.
as a general thing a chance to fight
for the world's championship is not
turned down, but there are several
reasons why Beckett should hesi
tate. ,
In the first place there is nothing
to indicate that Beckett would have
a reasonable chance to take awav
anything more than the loser's end
of the DUrse and thp loser's pnd
may not Drove to be much of an in
ducement to him.
Must Defeat Frenchman.
Beckett will not cet, the match
unless he defeats Georges Carpen
tier and by so doing wins the heavy
weight championship of Europe. If
Beckett comes into that title he will
have an asset that wtlh he worth a
fortune. He would be able to take
things easy meeting the third and
fourth raters of England and France
for large purses. Return battles with
Carpentier and Bombardier Wells
and bouts with some of the clumsy
lesser lights would keep him busy
for a lone time to come. So there
really is no great incentive for him
to come here and take a lickinir
from the hard-hitting Dempsey.
However, there is a chance that
Beckett will take himself as serious
ly as some of the English boxing
critics do. Australians thought the
late Les Darcy was the greatest
fighter that ever lived after he had j
beaten McGoorty, so that Beckett
also may think he accomplished
something noteworthy when he dis
posed of the ancient middleweight
in 17 rounds.
l English ideas of the American
heavyweight situation long have
bordered on the grotesque. Before

the war the leading boxing writers
were sure that Young Aheam was a
lormiaaDie candidate lor the world's
heavyweight title. They dubbed
rum John Bulls Boy and wen
into ecstacies over his science and
nitting ability.
Just .about that time Gunboat
Mnitn went,to England and 'made a
very poor showing with Georges
C?rpentier. The Gunner vvas a
roughhouse fighter, whose ring tac
tics were altogether different from
wnat the conservative English
thought a real boxer should display
ana so tneir opinion or American
heavyweights in general was still
further distorted.
jot Having seen Beckett ui action
it may be as hard to judge him from
this side of the 'lantic as it is for
the English foil ,-crs of boxing to
gel; a true line of Dempsey's ability,
nut it seems sate to predict that he
would be able to make Dempsey ex
tend himself. j
Beckett is nothinor more than a
novice, and even though he may be
of good material, he entirely lacks
experience.
Beckett has yet to meet a good
second rater. Therefore he has had
no chance to learn what real fighting
means, ne nas not even seen a man
ot Dempsey s caliber in action.
Carpentier a Mystery.
However, it will be time enoueh
to get excited over a Beckett-Demp-sey
match when the Englishman has
disposed ot Ueorges Carpentier,
who he meets December 4. Carpen
tier inmseit has always been more
or less of a mystery to American
boxing followers.
Carpentier reached the heieht of
his ability just before the war start
ed. At that time he orobablv was
a formidable heavyweight, judging
oy nis contests with oe eanetie
and Gunboat Smith, although he lost
tne decision to Jeannette and was on
the floor taking the couht when he
won the bout from Smith on an al
leged foul.
But the French war hero has done
no serious ring fighting in over four
years, so it stands to reason he is
far below his best form. There is
not one chance in a hundred that he
will be able to regain his best form.
Fo- that reason Beckett may be able
to beat him and still fail to show
himself a match for Dempsey.
If Beckett wants to be taken seri
ously as a contender for Dempsey's
title he should first dispose of one
or two of the leading American coik
DEMPSEY SETS,
MINIMUM WAGE
FOR NEXT BOUT
Heavyweight 'Champion, De

With Winner of Beckett
Carpentier Mill.
New York. Nov. 30. Although
lack xsearns is accenting no offers
for the miEilistic services of lack
Dempsey. heavyweight champion of
the world, Kearns has announced to
the promoters of the world the mini
mum wage scale under which Demp
sey will operate. Kearns does not
threaten that Demnsey will declar?
a strike unless his terms are met
without arbitration, but Kearns does
make it known that inasmuch as
Jess Willard demanded and received
$100,000 for bouncing off the floor
several times in one round, Demp
sey is entitled to at least that much.
"As his late antagonist, Willard.
demanded and received more than
$100,000 for his part of the prize July
4. there is no reason why Dempsey
should not receive similar financial
recognition the next time he steps
into the ring," , is the way Kearns
writes it.
Jack Johnson First.
Jack Johnson was the first heavy
weight to set a price on his ap
pearance. Or r'ather Tommy Burns
started the custom when he insisted
that Australian promoters pay him
$30,000 to meet Johnson in title bat
tle. Johnson beat Burns and got
hardly enough to pay his passage
home, but once back in America
Johnson would not talk business
with anyone unless the conversa
tion started at $30,000. Johnson was
a piker alongside of Dempsey.
Only a few years ago the demands
of Kearns would have been laughed
at. Now it seems promoters take
the heavyweight and his manager
seriously and are ready not only to
advance the minimum ' demanded,
but are falling over each other with
higher bids. Kearns avers that
Dempsey already has been offered
considerably more than the stated'
price and reserves the right to make
the best arrangements possible
when the time comes for him to
sign articles .
. Fought Way to Top.
"ftimpsey fought his way to the
top. He never avoided any one,"
writes Kearns. "He has been pro
claimed America's greatest cham
pion. He is ready to defend that
title when given reasonable notice.

The fiVe-men events of the tour

with the St. Frances Hotels of St.
Paul the champions, winners Nby
the score of 2936, rolled early in
the tournament. In last night's rol
ling the Utica Clothiers of Des
Moines made a desperate try to go
into the lead, but failed to put it
over, rolling 2850, which landed
them in third place.
The National Highway Markers

Paulson Motors, thirty-seventh with
2652.
Those who stayed after midnight
Saturday night to see the invincible
Jimmy Smith of Milwaukee per
form, were not disappointed after
he had knocked the wood for 279
in his last game of the five-men
series. Many of the impatient ones
left the stands when this reputed
peer of all bowlers opened up with
169 and came back on the second
with 159 struggling all the time.
It was in the last game when the
Milwaukee rollers saw they needed
pins for a good score and they
stepped out and got them. Smith
and Jones both put on the pret
tiest exhibition seen during the
tournament. Both strung out a
line of five strikes, but in the sixth
frame they failed to collect the
entire count in one hit although
Smith's hit was a perfect one.
Jones blew his spare, while Jim
my was picking his.
From then on the latter had the
lead, striking on everv hit the rest
of the game. While Smith's spec
tacular finish was the real feature.
Jones played by far the best game
throughout, rolling games of 233,
182 and 261 for a 676 total, against
607 by Smith. The low score rolled
by Rodee served to keen the F. G.
Smith's Arcades out of first place.
With Smith's and Jones' topnotch
scores, Rodee's total of 447 served
as baggage and kept his team in
second place.

tenders. A victory over Fred Ful
ton, Billy Miske, Bill Brennan or
even Battling Levinsky would earn
him serious consideration.
He regards the winner of the
Beckett-Carpentier match as his
next logical opponent and will glad
ly make a match provided bids for
purse and place are left open to the
world."
Accounts of the training of
Beckett and Carpentier give the
Frenchman much the better of the
early predictions for their battle to
be decided in London December 4.
Beckett is very popular among the
tfntisii sportsmen' and in his own
country, but there are legions of
backers willing to stand squarely
behind Carpentier, and frcm all ac
counts the Frenchman is getting
into mucn better condition than his
rival.
While Americans are inclined to
believe that Beckett will be the win
ner ot this engagement, since Car
pentier has been out of the ring for
the last rive years and has not had
battle of such severity as would
prepare him for a test, several Brh-
ons, who have recently come here
are wagering that Carpentier will be
the victor. Ihey assert that Beckett
is much overrated and that Carpen
tier is far the better boxer. They
expect Carpentier to win on points
in 20 rounds.

Injunction Restrains
Holding American

New York, Nov. 30. An injunc
tion restraining President Ban B.
Johnson irom attempting to hold the
annual meeting of the American
Base Ball league which he had called
for December 10, in Chicago, has
been obtained by the owners of the
New York club, they announced to
night. The injunction is incorpor
ated in an order, procured from Su
preme Court Justice Newburger,
which requires Johnson and the St.
Louis arid Cleveland clubs to show
cause before the supreme court here
tomorrow why the order should not
be made permanent.
An affidavit by T. L. Huston, one
of the owners of the New York club,
alleges that Johnson and James C.
Dunn, president of the Cleveland
club, in which it is alleged that John
son is financially interested to the
extent of $50,000, have refused to
attend any meetings called by the
board of directors in regard to the
Carl Mays case and that, Johnson "is
taking a course designed to defeat
resolutions adopted at the various
meetings."

BIG CAGE GAMES
Early Call for Basket Ball Ma
terial Not Expected, But
School Will Tfave
Strong Quintet.
With the foot ball schedule at
Central High school completed, all
eyes are now turned toward basket
ball. Coach Harold Mulligan
will not issue an early call, accord
ing to Central High athletic follow
ers. If, however, Mully calls for
cagemen it will be responded to by
at least 25 men. The north gymna
sium is now in order for practice on
trick plays, but will not be used for
shooting baskets. This is the first
year that Central has had a floor to
practice on. The school "gym" is
not large enough to accommodate
the crowd which attends the lnter
scholastic games.
The Creighton and "Y" floors will
be used for the games. Arrange
ments have already been made for
games with the largest town teams
of Nebraska. Kansas City may issue
a defy to the Central quintet. Sioux
City will also meet the Purple and
White five. Co;tcl Milligan has also
arranged to send his cage shooters
to the annual state tournament, held"
in the Armory hall at Lincoln.
Arthur Logan, recently elected
captain of the 1920 squad; Leonard
Mangold, Arthur Burnham, Ray
mond Clements and Herman Swo
boda, all last year men, will be seen
in basket ball uniforms. Paul
Konecky will not be on the quintet
this year. Paul is attending Creigh
ton university and is within walking
distance of the Central High school.
"I'm going to help all I can to turn
. .1. . . r l'
out tne state cnampionsnip quinici,
said Konecky. He has been at the
school during the foot ball season
helping the coach in this game and
will do the same in basket ball.
Ivan "Bobby" Robertson, an all
state guard on the Texas five, is
now going to school at Central
High. If he makes the team his ex
perience will prove very valuable to
Mulligan's 1920 squad. Robertson is
