Scoring at will and playing their
opponents off their feet throughout
the entire contest, Creighton univer
sity 'cage shooters, for the second
time in as many nights, easily de
feated Yankton college at the
Creighton gym floor last night by
the score of 56 to 13.
Coach Tommy Mills' warriors
showed plenty of fight throughout
r.nd played a remarkable guarding
'jiame, breaking up many of the
"trick" plays of the visitors.
Shortly after the blow of Ref
eree Ted RiddelPs whistle, Creigh
ton started the scoring when Eddie
Haley, the star right-forward, shot
a perfect fit Id goal on a dcari run.
Haley, who has been one of Coach
Mills' crack performers, was by far
the star of the evening, shooting
eight field goals, four of which
were impossible shots. He was al
ways in the game and had his eye
for the goal when shooting.
The clever- floor work of Eddie
Mulholland and the guarding o
Captain Howard, Vandiver were
also some of the outstanding fea
tures for the Blue and White play.
During the first half Yankton
was helpless against Mills' first
squad, only being able to register
6 points, while Creighton piled up
a total of 41, through the brilliant
shooting of Kddie Haley, Wise,
Kearney and Vandiver.
Coach Mills sent in his entire sec
ond team at the start of the second
half. The second team registered
IS tallies more.
' Creighton committed by seven
fonls, four of the personal order,
while 11 were committed by the
visitors, all personals.

Harold Mulligan's cage
great comeback
last night when they trounced Be
atrice High school basket ball team
by the score of 35 to 10. The con
test was staged on the Y. M. C. A.
floor 'before a crowd, of more than
200 people.
In the first few. seconds of play
Arthur Logan, captain of the Cen
tral school quintet, put the specta
tors in a great uproar when he shot
a basket from a difficult angle. . The
Beatrice quintet, did not. overcome
this lead although they played a
great defensive game.
The Pudple and White quintet
showed speed and pep, while the
Beatrice squad did not come up to
expectations. Worley,- a forward
on the Orange and Black five, was
the mainstay for the visitors. He
shot three baskets and made four
free throws.
Art urnham and "Bobby" Robin
son displayed some excellent work
on the floor for the locals.
In the preliminary contests the
Sophomores defeated the Freshmans
by the score of IS to 4. In the last
preliminary game the seniors had
a hard game on their hands, winning
by the small score of 9to 8. , -

Jack Johnson Said to
Have Acquired Social
Status Down in Mexico
San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 17. Jack
Johnson has acquired a. certain so
cial status in. Mexico, C. L. Gardner
of Hot Springs,' Ark., told the senate
subcommittee investigating the Mex

drug store and, demanded service in
the ; cafe division. . The, American
waitress informed Johnson it was
against the orders of the place to
serve negroes. .
Johnson left with the threat "to
make trouble." He returned,' accom

and army officers. The officers com
pelled the attendant to fill Johnson's
crder, i
One of the owners of the store
was called to the table by the of

LOLL.YPOP ORGIES.
THE horn-rimmed, tortoise-shelled scientists have figured that what's
left of these glorious free and independent works is on a terrific
candy debauch.
! . . '
Tf an established souse can't grab off his snifters he must have
candy. That's the reason so many confectionery dives have sprung up
in Flatbush. Law and order is down to fiatbottomed zero and lolly
pops and crime rule the tournament. Soda water dens have sprung
up right under the noses of the police. Soda water under a cop's beak
is serious business.
Any time the bulls want to round up the gaycats and yeggs they
raid the backrooms of Huyler's chocolate bazaars. No grifter can work
without first hyping himself up on a set of cherry phosphates. The
delirium tremens boudoir in Bellevue is full of chewing gum addicts.
The country i? going to the spaniels at a kangaroo clip.
On Saturday night the-old man clatters into Loft's and spends his
tough-earned money in riotous living. He staggers out full of lemon
drops and peanut brittle with a breath reeking with salt , water taffy.
When the cops and firemen arrive they find that he has wound the clock
the wrong way, scared his wife into a new pair of shoes and a bonnet
and frightened his poor children into seven two-dollar seats at the
movies. Men, this, wave of crime must be flattened. If you must eat
lollypops, for heaven's sake ,don't eat the sticks. It's the wood that
furnishes' the matinees for the coroner's jury. We point to wood alcohol.
We would like to point to other kinds of alcohol, but we don't know
where to aim the finger. And pointing to wood alcohol is only a
blind guess.
Mothers send their daughters to Vassar and Bryn Mawr to be
educated, and what happens? They come in contact with vicious debu
tantes, and return home wrinkled and broken fudge rummies. A re
formed caramel souse will take the vanilla Kecley cure and then marry
a decent girl who never ate candy in her life. He has sons who turn
out to be cough-drop fiends. You can never tell when streaks of sugar
will run in a family. It's an expensive habit. The sins of the father
shall be visited upon the son. And the chins of the mother shall be
visited upon the son-in-law.
The criminal who has been going around shooting all the leaves off
Brooklyn rubber plants is believed to be a son of wealthy parents who
fed him sugar in his youth. His fingerprints were found on the embroid
ered doilies found only in the most expensive candy boxes. The police
are sure that his picture is in the Repetti Gallery. '
There is evidence that mere school children are forming the candy
habit. A powerful lollypop ring furnishes the kids with innocent look
ing all-day suckers which have a kick like a hobbled ratbit. , ,Once
the youngsters form the habit they are gumdrop snifters for life. The
new S. P. C. C. or the Society for the Prevention of Candy to Chil
dren is working on a case where a 2-months-old child was given taffy
kisses in a bon-bon speak-easy and wasn't able to walk for the next
six months. , . . ..
The business of making those red transparent animals is a cloak
for the scoundrels who mix blind candy tigers in with the other harm
less knick-knacks. - -
A 3weeks-old infant got hold of one of these blind candy tigers,
and was pickled plenty. The secret service is unable to grab the facts,
as the baby is so sound that it can't talk. v

Boulder, Colo., Jan. 17. (Spe

second game of the basket ball se
ries from the University of Colo
rado five with but little trouble. The
score was 24 to 17. As was the case
in the first tilt the team-work and
speed of the Nebraskans swept their
opponents off their feet time and
again. The Huskers plugged the
baskets often,' only to have the ball
bounce away. Evident!' the low
ceiling bothered their aim, other
wise the score would have been
longer. The brand of basket ball
displayed by the visitors was the
best seen on the local floor in years
and it is doubtful if Colorado at her
best could have won. Pickett, Be
kins and Schellenberg played stellar
ball at all times.

Sioux Sign Gillis.
Sioux City, la., Jan. 17. Earnest
Gillis, former base ball star at the
Iowa State university, has been
signed by the Sioux City Western
league team.
Columbus, but it was upon moving
w$st that he began to pile up victory
upon victory. His . stable at the
windup had won no less than 30
races which record only very few
drivers in 1919 can duplicate.
Roy also has another reason to ,
feel proud of his campaign, for dur
ing the season he put no less than
five new trotters in the 2:10 list,
among other drivers only T. Y.
Murphy placing as large a number
of trotters on the "honor roll."
Murphy's count was five, so Owen
is ahead of all others aside from
"The Wizard." Owen too comes in
for additional honors, for he not
only gave Luana 2:074 a lieat rec
ord on a mile track, but likewise a
win race of 2:09)4 over a half-mile
track. It is a remarkable record
for any driver to make in these days
when so many post-graduate horses
go into the hands of the big stables.
Tommy Murphy's star stake trotter
of 1919, and winner of $13,265, Mar
iondale 2:05J5, was, by the way.
Roy's former pupil, he having raced
the gelding to a record of 2:10;4
in 1913.

raced a few for other parties includ
ing his employers for many 'years,
Schinstock Bros., West Point, Neb.
The quintette of 2:10 trotters Roy
marked in 1919 were Luana, Grace
Corning, Bellini Worthy, Alta Don
ovan, and Myra McGregor. With
out going back further than thn
seven years that he 'made Wst
Point, Neb., his training quarters,
Owen has achieved remarkable suc
cess for a trainer located far front
the recognized horse centers. The
majority of the material that he had .
to work on was green when it came
to him and from it he annually
made Tace horses that repeatedly
won in Illinois, Iowa, South Dako
ta, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas and
Arizona. During this seven-year
period he raced and gave records
to the following horses the list not
including numerous ones with slow
er records that he also marked,

In 1914 when he made his-'first
trip down the Grand Circuit with
Tommy Horn 2:04, he drove the
gelding a series of splendid races,
ending up by acquiring with him the
world's seven heat trotting record
at Lexington, Ky. Tommy won the
third heat in 2:08, the fourth in
2:04, and the sixth in 2:Q8l.
which set up a new record. In 1916
Helen Chimes 2:04 made a clean
score of 13 victories, an unrivaled
record for the season. Like any
other trainer who depends upon
public patronage, Owen has not al
ways first class material to work
with, but as a general proposition
he has annually been either the lead
ing driver of the west, or well at the
front. He has won 175 races in
seven years, or an average of 25
races per year, a truly splendid rec
ord. First at Ak-Sar-Ben.
Roy is the first trainer to locate
at the new Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben fair
grounds, the $1,000,000 organization
which was organized in 1919, and
during the summer constructed one
of the fastest mile tracks to be
found in the United States. By
locating at Omaha. Owen feels that
he is in better position to serve his
local patrons, and all others who
send horses to him to train and
race.
