The Cornhusker basket ball team,
including 12 men, will leave Tues

beginning Wednesday.
Coach Schissler gave his men a
final workout this evening prepar
atory for the trip. He announced
that ne intended to use probably
two entirely different teams during
the games in the western state. The

he is not taking three full teams
with him, the coach announced.
The program includes games
January 14 and IS with the Colorado
college team at Colorado Springs,
and contests on the 16th and 17th
with the University of Colorado
quintet at Boulder.- Keports show
that both schools have strong
teams, the Husker coach said, but
he was confident that the Nebraska
tossers would continue' their record
of no defeats, maintained thus far.
The men who still make the trip
are Laptain sneiienuerg, raynter,

Here Is One Thing That
Is Absolutely Impossible
Rheumatism Ha Never Been
Cured by Liniments or Lo
tions, and Never Will Be.
You never knew of Rheumatism
-r-that most painful source of suf
fering being cured ' by liniments,
. lotions or other external applica
tions. And you will never see any
thing but temporary relief afford
ed by such makeshifts. , .
But why be satisfied with tem
porary relief from the pangs of
pain which are sure to return with
increased severity, when there is
permanent relief within your reach.
Science has proven that Rheuma
tism is a disordered condition of
the blood. How then, can satis
faetory results be expected from
any treatment that does not reach
the blood, the seat of the trouble,
and rid the system of the cause of
the disease? S. S. S. has for more
than fifty years been giving relief
to even the most aggravated and
stubborn cases of Rheumatism. It
cleanses the blood by routing the
disease germs. The experience of
others who have taken S. S. S. will
convince you that it will promptly
reach your case. You can obtain
S. S. S. at any drug store.
A valuable book on Rheumatism
and its treatment, together with
expert medical advice about your
own individual case, will be sent
absolutely free. Write to-day to

Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 12. Jack
Kearns, -manager for Jack Demp-
sey, sees little chance for holding
the Dempsey-Carpentier fight , at
Tia Juana. Mexico. He believes it
must go abroad.
"I can't see a chance in the world
of holding the fight at Tia Juana,"
said Kearns today. "Until I went
to San Diego and Tiajuana last
week, I thought there was a possi
bility of holding the bout there, but
after going over the ground per
sonally, I came to the conclusion
that Lower California is not the
proper site. ,
"Jim Coffroth told me that he had
never stated definitely that he
planned to stage the fight at Tia
Juana. Hi's Chief aim. is to be the
promoter, whether in Mexico, the
United States, England or France,
he doesn't appear to care. It seems
to me that all this Tia Juana talk has
been to boost another enterprise
promoted by Coffroth and operating
there.
"As far as I can see now, there
doesn't appear' to be much chance
of holding the fight in the United
States at all. Judging from the pres
ent outlook, London or Paris will
land it. '
Jack Kearns proposes to "forget"
all further talk or negotiations for
a Dempssy-Carpentier fight any
place unjil the middle of February,
when, according to a cablegram by
him from Paris, an option on Car
pentier's services held by Charles
Cochran, British fight promoter, ex
pires. "All the talking in the world from
this or that promoter as to what
sized purse he will give means noth
ing unless Carpentier as well as
Dempsey, can sign," said Kearns. "I
have a cable from Nate Lewis, who
s with 'Pal Moore in Paris, saying
that Carpentier is tied up with
Cochran until the middle of Febru
ary. I am going to sit tight until
that time, then issue an invitation to
all to bid for the fight and then ac
cept the best."
BLOCK STEPS TO
TEST VALIDITY OF
FEDERAL DRY-LAW
Supreme ;Court Denies Motions
Filed on Behalf of New Jer
sey Retail Liquor Men.
Washington, Jan. 12. Steps to
bring test proceedings to determine
constitutionality of the federal pro
hibition amendment received a set
back when the supreme court de
cided, for lack of jurisdiction, mo
tions filed on behalf of the Retail
Liquor Dealers' association' of New
Jersey seeking permission to insti
tute an original suit.
The denial, however, does not end
efforts to expedite determination of
the question, for motions filed by
Rhode Island, asking similar per
mission, were urged and remain to
be acted upon. As the federal amend
ment is effective Friday, action on
the Rhode Island motion, within the
next few days is anticipated.
The order denying permission to
bring the New Jersey suit was made
orally by Chief Justice White, who
held the motion to file the case
"rested upon a plain disregard of two
principles of jurisdiction that has
been settled from the beginning."
Must Consent to Suit
One, he said, was that a citizen of
a state could not bring a suit against
the state without its consent, v.hile
the other was that the federal con
stitution docs not create jurisdiction
but only apportions it and according
ly under the constitution the su
preme court , had no jurisdiction in
such a case as that from New Jersey.!
This attitude upheld the contend
tions of Solicitor General King, and
New Jersey authorities, in their
arguments made January 5.
In attacking the constitutionality
of the amendment. Attorney Gen
eral A. Rice of Rhode Island, ques
tioned the validity of its ratification
as well as the passage of the res
olution by congress and asserted
the amendment was an interference
with state police powers.
Case for Supreme Court
In a brief filed, the Rhode Island
attorney general argued that en
forcement of national prohibition
would affect injuriously the rights
of Rhode Island and that because
the defendants named in the case
are outside the" boundaries of that
state, the supreme court was the
proper tribunal in which to bring
the suit

Murphy Professional .
At One of Best Golf
Courses in Country
. -
Eddie Murphy, now professional
at the Omaha Athletic club indoor
course, will be professional at one
of the best golf courses in the coun
try during the season of 1920 when
he takes over his duties at Green
Hills Country club in St. Joseph,
Mo. -
Murphy says the Green Hills club
has recently purchased 120 acres
close to the heart of town, 70 acres
of which are in thick blue grass.
"The new " course probably will
be the scene of the Missouri cham
pionship matches after this year,"
said Murpy. "It is long enough for
a championship course, being more
than 6,200 yards long. They are start
ing to build a $35,000 clubhouse
which wilf be completed by late
summer. '
The only work that really must be
done on the new tract is to lay the
greens. Present prospects are that
it will be the finest course in the
middlewest. -
The 1920 state tournament will be
held in St. Louis, June 15-20. Mur
phy won the professional champion
ship of Missouri last year shortly
after his appointment as profession
al of the Green Hills club.
