of Athletic Council; Omaha
Business Men In Or-
- ganizatton.
Cretghtoa athletics were Tuesday
night out in .the hands of an athletic
board at a meeting in Creighton col-
lege of Omaha business men. The
('. prime mission of the board will be
" to promote athletics at Creighton.
Louis C Nash of the' Burgess
Nash company was chosen presi
" dent of the board, Harry V. Burkley
vice president and Charles Garvey
treasurer. . '' --, ' '
Gene Melady, Dr. L. A. Dermody.
R. J. Madden, John Hopkins, Bert
Murphy, Frank McCaffery, Thomas
' Pa Redmon d, William McCaffery,
.'James A. Shanahan.and Edward A.
i Creighton were chosen as other
members of the board.y
Rev. William J.- Corboy, faculty
director of athletics, outlined the
,- need of such a body in a short talk
at the opening of the meeting.
"Creighton athletics" have . ad-
vanced rapidly during the last few
years," Father Corboy. said. "They
are at a stage how where they must
either forge ahead by great strides
; or slide backward. There is no al
ternative. ; - The present position
. cannot be . held permanently. - Of
course it is the object of Creighton
, university,; the object of Omaha and
the. object of the whole middle west
to see them, progress. The duty qf
pushing Creighton athletics ahead
rests, chiefly with this association."
tach Thomas E. Mills told the
gathering of the prospects for a
great basket ball team this winter.
"We have the same men 'back at
school this jear who brought
Creighton through last season with
out a defeat and with several big
victories to its credit," said Mills,
"Other prospective player.8 look
good. Last year , we had to turn
, people away froth some of the
games on account of lack oi seats.
It is ourlan to erect seats for:near-
' vly ,1,000 people this season."
The athletic board will meet prob-
: ably next Monday night to further
the work of organization.

regular store league has Men
formed bv the local rollers, but in
stead of coal being-used they are
burning up the wobd which many
failed to do during the tournament
. Naturally the subject is. a, post

topic being a. discussion of the com
plete prize list which was printed
by The Bee the morning following
the close of the tournament. -- A
local dopester has made a recap of
the list to see now tne ainerem
cities stood in the prize list t
While they didn't win their usual
quota the . Chicago bowlers won
more .money than any city, amount
ing to $1,508.63. The Windy City
rollers failed to cop a-.medal this
season, which is unusual for them.
With their entry of 13 .crack teams
they are sure to cop a good por
tion of the orize money.- Omaha
ranks second among the winners,
with $1,164.97 and medal, at.

land in the money at all, Grand Is

surprise to all, especially with such
star tournament shooters as Ham

Both - usually win. a ' good-sized
check. in every tournament. But this
only reveals the fortunes of bowl
ing. Stars fall and dark horses win.

Local owling Notes.
On next Monday night, provid
ing the closing edict has been lifted,
the women bowlers of Omaha will
give a dance at the Hotel Castle.
The proceeds of this dance will be
used to send two teams to theNa
tional Women's bowling " tourna
ment, which is held in Chicago next
April. - It should not be necessary
for i any local bowler to be ap
proached to purchase a ticket. Kvery
one of them should buy one without
being - asked. The presence- of
women . bowlers in trte ranks helps
the gariie in many" ways and they
should bV encouraged in every
thing they attempt. They have al
ways been willing workers and supr
porters of similar affairs conducted
by the men and have helped innany
other ways, especially in scoring
during the recent torrfnament. They
are also giving atue received for
what you spend, which alone is
sufficient to secure' the support of
all. ,
i '
The fuel administration timed the
coal and closing-edict just right.
Only, six hours of the'i tournament
schedule remained to be played
when the alleys were (ordered, to
close. . Privilege to finish was erant-
fed and the most successful Middle-
west tournament ended without a
mishap, . . , . ,, ' ;r
One good result of this season's'
tournament .was the showing made
by , players' from smaller ; towns.
They have discovered by now that
they stand an equal show with the
big ones-and they will be entered
in all tournaments from now on.
Jim Wells and Wally Schoenman
who starred for the winner-teams,
just completed their cornhusking in
FIND OUT WHAT CAUSES
YOUR RHEUMATISM
Then You Will Be Able to
Treat It Intelligently. .
The medical profession has
hot yet fully determined all of
the causesi; of rheumatism,
though they are pretty well
agreed on two-points, -The
first is that the disease
is more than a : mere local
trouble, that the pangs of
pain come from a sourcethat!
is far below the surface, and
therefore it is not reasonable
to expect any , rational relief
from a treatment that is local
ly applied and reaches only
the surface. .'"
When you realize the logic
of this conclusion you will see
that you are really wasting
your time and money if you
are expecting any permanent
relief from the use of lini-
, ments, lotions, and other
locally - applied treatment,
which can only reach the sur
face, and have no effect what
ever upon the origin of your
. trouble. ; f
Any disease should - be
treated at its source, and es
pecially one that ' causes as
much suffering as rheuma
tism. For what you want is
not mere temporary relief
from the torturing pangs of
pain, which will promptly re
turn .with renewed severity.
The only treatment worth
while is one that will show
' some progress toward getting
at the source of the disease,
and freeing the victim from
its. shackles.
The other point that the
medical profession has agreed
upon, is that some forms of
rheumatism are caused by. a
tiny disease germ in the blood,
which multiplies by the mil
lion, and until these germs are
routed from the blood; you
can see how,f utile local treat
ment will be. Iafact, you can
rub with liniments and use
otions by the gallon and never
hope to reach the cause "of
your trouble. '
So many people have found
real permanent relief from
their rheumatism by the use
of S. S. S. that its use is just
ified in practically every case.
Certainly if your rheumatism
is due to a germ in the blood,
as so many thousands of cases
are, you should lose no time in
beginning the use of S. S. S.,
because you can rely upon this
fine old blood remedy to do
you more good than any other
treatment. . 7-
S. S. S. is beneficial in rheu
matism because it is such a
thorough blood medicine. It
cleanses the blood ol all im
purities and eradicates the
germs which cause rheuma
tism. The wonderful results
it has accomplished in other
cases is proof of its great
merit. S. S. S. has been on
the market for more than fifty
years and is sold by all drug
gists. ; - -
? You are invited to write our
medical department for valu
able literature and advice
about the treatment of your
own case, for which no charge
is made Address Chief Med

; ; Tournament Hangover.
. Contrary to former tournaments,
Chicago bowlers did not carrv
away as big' a portion of the prize
money as is. their usual habit. In
the team event they were surpris
ingly low, the ' highest place they
reached being tenth. Although they
take a big share of the money it
does not amount to that of former
tournaments.1 They were out here
with 13 crack teams and naturally
would grab off a big slice, but few
tournaments ever end without Chii
cago claiming one or more cham
pionships, and this was one of them.
Most Windy City bowlers are hook
ball artists and their hooks were
breaking too much here. Their snare
shooting " was generally poor for
them. A few libi artists com
plained of the slippery runways, but
they were just as slippery, for the
boys wiio are at the top.,
. .'' .
It is now up' to Dick Grotte to tear
down what he built up. The grand
stand is what is meant by that state
ment. ' You can't tear down Dick's
reputation for being a hustler and on
the job all the time. He is one of
the men in the local game who needs
nothing more than the. information
of the task he is to perform and you
can figure it done before he starts.
Russell Read, the' popular Winner,
S. D., booster, is as .tickled as any
one over the tourney. He entered
three teams in the tournament and
all shared in the prize money. Not i
many of them were veterans in tour
nament play, but they can bbwl and
proved their ability while h6re. They
lost to the all-star .Denver team by
the "narrow margin of 38 pins, and
played the mountaineers' off their
feet in the last two games,, hut were
unable to overcome the big lead
gained in the first game.! -Uv.

Harvard Accepts Invitation '
To Play Foot Ball on Coast
Cambridge,v Mass., Dec. 3. The
invitation to the ' Harvard foot ball
team to play a western eleven at
Pasadena, Cat., on New Year's day,
was accepted, Wednesday;
After consultation between the
faculty, the athletic committee and
members of the team yesterday,
which developed . favorable senti
ment, the matter was referred to
Dean Le Barort R.- Briggs. Dean
Briggs decided to let the final word
rest withJthe full committee, which
late today issued a statement accept
ing the invitation "with the proviso
that if the railroad administration
should hereafter establish any regu
lation or make any request that such
trip should not be made, in view of
the fuel shortage, the trip would be
canceled. ' ; ' i-
Although . the Harvard eleven.
broke training after the i Yale game,
Coach Robert lusher .is confident
that. he can easily get his. merf in

form this winter that it was deemed
undesirable by his physicians to per
mit him to play further.
