EAST-WEST GAME
AWAITS WHISTLE
Harvard and Oregon Grid
Warriors Are' Eagerly
Waiting for Call
To Battle.
Pasadena. Cal.. Dec. 31. Harvard
and Oregon university foot ball
f quads tanered off their training for
the east ajrainst west foot ball game
here New Year's day. Both teams
did enough work to keep them in
condition. Coaches expressed satis
faction vit'i the condition of their
men.
To all appearances Harvard play
ers lost a 1'ttle weiplit without sacri
fice of erudition in training here,
, while Oregon players laid on a trifle
of flesh, this tending to equalize the
weight of the opponents.
The weather Wednesday was
cooler and more like that the Har
vard players have been accustomed
to. The prediction for Thursday is
fair and cool.
The game has created the greatest
interest yet shown in the annual
east-west classic here. Every one
of the more than 33,000 seats in the
Tournament of Roses park has been
sold.
Both Teams Ready.
Coaches of each team pronounce,
their men ready to give the best
they have.
"Oregon is ready," said Coach
Huntington tonight. "W'e deem it
an honor to be the representative of
the west in the struggle before us
i i.-.t .l. r- -
ana wneuier ine score gui-s 101 us i
against us, remember well be ngnt
ing f very minute."
"Mv men are in splendid condi
tion." declared Coach Robert Usher
' of Harvard. "Our training has been
' brief but sufficient. We'll deliver our
best from the opening kick-off."
The foot ba'l to be used in tomor
row's game will come from the sky.
Arrangements were made with a well
known motion picture star to drop
the ball from an airplane, which will
take to the air a few minutes before
the starting whistle blows at 2:30
o'clock. Several changes were mack
by each team in the lineup an
nounced last night.
Changes in Lineup.
For Harvard A. Horween will
start at left hah" instead of Humph
reys, who will be held in reserve and
it js thought by some probably will
be put in during the latter part of
the game.

Commerce High Squad t
To Play Athletic Club
Five Friday Evening
Coach James Drummond an
nounced vesterday that the High
School o? Commerce basket ball
team will play the Omaha Aihletic
club quintet in a practice game Fri
day evening at the Athlct.c club.
The Athletic club team is com
posed of many college stirs, while
the business school five ir.ade up
of last year's quintet that were run
ners tip in the state tournan.ent held
in Lincoln.
Unusual basket throwing wa? seen
yesterday afternoon when the busi
ness school lads continw-d their
practice at the "Y" gymnasium.
Frank Mahoney was the st:-r of the
day, shooting nearly every basket
that he attempted.
Coach Burell Evans, who will
coach the second team, had his can
didates out yesterday. Many of the
candidates showed their skill yes
terday when a scrimmage contest
was held with a scrub team that
was picked at the "Y."
Coach Evans said yesterday that
the defeat that the Bowen Furniture
ouintet gave them Tuesday made
the candidates work all the harder.
Coach Evans told the players that
several trips will be made by the
second team this year.
right end instead of left Williams at
left guard instead of Mautz and
Mautz at right guard instead of
Harding. The latter -will be held in
reserve, according to Coach Hunt
ington. The game has created the greatest
interest yet shown in the annual
cast-west clash here. As an indication
of this, it is shown that 33 great
newspapers scattered all over the
country have sent their special sport
writers here, five '.cased news wires
have been installed in the press box.
half a dozen commercial wires put
in to carry the "specials" from the
writers, and six specially equipped
lonsr-distance telephone sets ar
ranged to handle news direct to near
by papers. A press box 1J0 tcct long
has been provided, and all space as
sig"cd to workiiur newsnaper men
and operators. With such r.n aggre
gation of foot ball wisdom on hand
it is possible to get any sort of an
opinion that may be wanted about
the probable outcome og the game,
the winning period, the style of play,
or any other of the burning points.
Pesek Throws Savage.
Chicago, Dec. 31. John Fesek of
Nebraska, used the toe hold to de
feat Steve Savage of Chicago, in
straight falls tonight. The time was
1 hour. 27 minutes and 42 seconds,

Washington, Dec. 31. Getting
down to cases in their discussion
of a peace treaty compromise, re
publican and democratic senators
found that Article Ten continued
a stumbling block in the way of an
agreement.
Senate leaders of both parties
again were active in the negotia
tions and the succession of confer
ences indicated that the situation
might take more definite form. It
was said that although no agreement
was in sight, the sifting process had
cleared many collateral points and
had centered attention on a few
reservations, notably the one relat
ing to Article Ten.
Several Suggestions.
It was the reservation on this
point as framed by the foreign re
lations committee which President
Wilsdn characterized as meaning a
rejection of the treaty. Determined
to get some modification, demo
cratic senators have presented sev
eral suggestions, but all so far have
been regarded on the republican side
as going too far. The republicans
in turn have suggested changes
which the democrats regard as mod
ifications of language only .
Three conferences attracted par
ticular attention among the many
which were held today. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the re
publican leader, went over the com
promise suggestions with Senator
Pomcrcne of Ohio, a democratic
member of the foreign relations
committee.
Later Secretary Tumulty went to
the capitol, and speaking for the
president, discussed the situation
with Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
acting leader of the demoi-ats. To
night Mr. Hitchcock called ;nto con
sultation all democratic members of
rhe committee in town.
No Details Revealed.
Details of none . f these meetings
were revealed, but it was understood
that specific reservation changes
were discussed and that in eich case
article ten figured prominently.
The meeting tonight of the for
eign relations committee democrats
was understood to have taken steps
to reduce to a definite form demo
cratic proposals for redrafting the
republican reservations. The sub
ject was considered in the light of
the information obtained during the
day by Senators Hitchcock and
Pomerene, and with a view to fram
ing a program behind which the ad
ministration forces could unite.
It was the first attemp' of the
democratic committee members to
get together on such a program.
Those present declined to discuss
the meeting, but said some prog
ress had been made.

POLICE DOUBT
MAN'S STORY OF
SI 5,000 HOLDUP
Say Szeezeyski "Would Have
Gone Crazy if He Had
Lost That Much
Money."
South Side police question the
truth of the' story tcld them
Wednesday afternoon by Hypolit
Szeezeyski, 1602 Misourl avenue,
that he was held up and robbed at
8:30 Tuesday night on the Sarpy
road near the Sarpy mills in Sarpy
county, and $13,000 and four $50
Liberty bonds taken from him by
three highway robbers.
"I have known Mike Szeezeyski,
the name he went by at the Cudahy
plant, for years," said Captain of
Police John Briggs. "If he had lost
that much money, he wnuld have
gone crazv and killed himself. He
said he had the money in $100 bills
in a small envelope in his inside coat
pocket, and any one knows that 130
bills would make a large roll or
package.
"Mike married a widow woman
by the name of Fannie Draguna
about eight years ago, and I under
stood she applied for a divorce about
a week ago. I am satisfied Mike
framed a robbery story to tell so he
would get out of paying any ali
mony if ordered by the court.
"When I questioned him bis story
did not hang together. He had a
bandage on his head, but showed
no signs of having been hurt. His
description of the 'robbers' did not
sound good, and his cool manner in
telling of being robbed was enough
to convince me that the stcry was
false."
In his report to the poi;;e the al
leged victim of robbers said lie was
on his way to visit a friend, Joe
Tex, a farmer, and was robbed on
his way there. He said he continued
to his friend's house and stayed all
night, failing to report the robbery
until Wednesday afternoon.

Suggests Commission
Meeting Be Postponed
To Schedule Meet Day
New York, Dec. 31. John Heyd,
lcr, president of the National league,
suggested to Ban Johnson, presi
dent of the American league, that
the annual meeting of the national
commission, scheduled for Monday
in Cincinnati, be postponed. Heyd
ler advised Johnson that it would be
impossible for him to be in Cincin
nati because of personal business.
The date of the annual meeting
of the national commission is fixed
in the national agreement as the
first Monday in January, when the
two major league presidents shall
elect a chairman. Heydler suggested
that this meeting be held at the same
time that the joint schedule com

The Bee's Free Shoe
Fund
"A Merry Christmas and a ,
Happy New Year to The Bee
Free Shoe Fund from the schol
ars of the Congregational Sab
bath school of Beemer. Neb."
That is the greeting that accom
panies a check for $25 sent to the
fund by Dr. William L Crosby,
superintendent of this generous
school.
The children, says Dr Crosby,
decided that rather than h.ive gifts
for themselves, they would give the
money to buy shoes for poor little
children.
And we're sure they enjoyed their
Christmas all the more because they
know of the little feet their gift will
keeo warm this winter.
