Avery and Brown Will
Canvass Valley Schools
To Learn Attitude To
ward Nebraska.
Lincoln. Neb., Jan. 22. (Special.)
Chancellor Samuel Avery and
Kegent E. P. .Brown of the State
university are leavintr tomorrow to
visit officials of schools in the Mis
souri Valley conference, with the
purpose of learning their attitude in
regard to Nebraska's chances of get
ting back in the conference.
Chancellor, Avery denied toda
that the board of regents had any
definite plan in view and said that
he and Mr. Brown had no author
ity to act, but were merely to report
their findings to the board. He said
that the sentiment in other schools
would be reviewed and action would
follow.
The. Lincoln alumni of the univer
sity are responsible for starting the
campaign to get Nebraska back in
the conference and the N club, an
organization of athletic letter men
at. the university have endorsed their
move.'
"A" group of prominent Nebraska
alumni in Omaha came to Lincoln
Wednesday to register a protest
against, the move. They handed
their protest to the board of regents.
The regents .said that the sentiment
of .the alumni of both cities would be
considered after they had received
the report of Regent Brown and the
chancellor, ,
The chancellor stated Thursday
that the fact that Nebraska was con
sidering getting back in the confer
ence did not mean positively that
there would be no game in Omaha
next fall. Provost James Lees statedt
however, that he would take no def
inite action toward scheduling a
game in Omaha until after the repents-had
decided whether or not
Nebraska, would . re-enter the con
ference, '
Dempsey Will Abide
By Decision of Army
, And Navy Boxing Board
. - u
New York, Jan. 22. Jack Demp
sey, heavyveight champion of the
world, has asked for an official in
vestigation to be made of the ' in
formal charges that he was a draft
dodger .during the world war. The
request" was made in a telegram re
ceived today Uy. Maj. A. J. Drexcl
Biddle, president of the army, navy
and civilian boxing board, ..which, it
is understood, will conduct the in-i
qttiry asked in the near future.
Dempsey points out in his telegram
that the A. N. C. B. B. issued a pro
fessional boxer's license to him just
priofito the' match with Jess Willard,
which certified that he had a clean
and honorable record as a profes
sional boxer and that he had the
full sanction and approval of the
board. Dempsey received license
No. -2, , the first-card going , to Wil
lard, who was then champion.
"Tlje present champion states that
he followed implicitly the instruc
t'ons given him by the representa
tives of the government in draft
matters and denies that he was a
'draft dodger. He offers to present
himself personally before the board
or to .ubmit a-complete statement
of his war activities in affidavit form,
and agrees to abide by the final de
cision of the board in its findings.
The A. N. C. B. B. has announced
that Dempsey's request will be re
ferred to the arbitration committee
of that organization for decision as
to whether such inquiry should be
" undertaken-.- Itis 'stated informally
that the investigation will be made
i by a special committee, including
several prominent" officers of the
American Legion, if they will con
sent to serve. .

What was considered the lowest
score for a single game in Y. M. C.
A. basket ball circles took place last
night when the Trinity Baptists de
feated the Cavalry Baptists by the
score of 9 to 7, in the fight for the
Church league championship.
The game was closely contested
from start to finish and for the last
five minutes of play threatened to go
into an extra period. The score
stood 7 up with but two minutes to
play. L. Groves, left guard1, made
a sensational throw on a "dead
run," the ball droping in the basket
for the winning score a iew seconds
before the finish of the game. Close
guarding on the part of the players
of. both teams was practically re
sponsible for the low score.
First M. E. Baracas won from the
Council Bluffs . Christians, present
title holders, by the score of 39 to 8.
The Council Bluffs quintet was
forced to play the game with four
men, as the other members of the
squad failed to show up.
r By winning from the Hanscom
Park Methodists . in a hard, fought
contest, by a 14 to 10 score, the
Benson M. E. took a jump in the
league standing.. .
George Parish's Pearl Memorials
had little trouble in defeating the
M. E. Wops,' the final score being
30 to 11. Last night's victory for
the Pearls was their fifth consecu
tive this season in the Church league
and they maintain to hold first place
with a clean sweep of victories.

OWING to the wild hairs in-the telephone service, the work of award
ing the 15i9 prizes is progressing slowly. With the temperature
about 11 degrees below the last populist vote.'there is much difficulty

the brown diadem.

the billposter who puts all those labels on a jitney loaf of .bread. In order
that Burleson may enjoy pleasant slumbers, the rock-ballasted mattress, is
his, along with a vote of confidence from the board of directors of Mattea
wan university. Snappy young men get the snappy young men's clothing
with the freshly honed lapels and the concrete filled button holes. Among

trophy lili-T a squint eye or a bald head.
Mir iukee brewers and Kentucky distillers must compete for the last

the gen; xxo gets the kerosene-filled fire extinguisher.
The election board is still counting the heavy unpolled vote from the

HER wedded bliss was a
dream of bliss with
one tiny exception. She
wanted another man! She
knew who, too an "old
flame" and she took the
necessary steps.
But hubby's name was
Pallavicini, from the land
where lovers . grow; and
"twin soul" Jimmie was a
"heavy lover" onlyon the
scales.
So a string of stirring
events convinced Sadie that,
instead of an "unfulfilled
romance," her "fat Romeo"
was only a romance that
had filled out.
Oodles of laughs, and the
rest one big, long chuckle!
Come!

"I never bought a flower in all my life." He looked it.
He acted it. Matthew King was a crab. The whole
town hated him.
To Tom King, his ex-convict brother, was given to see
into the hearts of humans and put there that touch of
human kindness that made him a man among men.
What miracle did Tom work' that brought sunshine,
music arid flowers into shadowed lives and homes? .
What did he do to undo the greed and selfishness of
his brother? . ", . s
Frank Keenan, who plays both brothers, pierces the
outer darkness and opens the soul of each brother in a
remarkable dual role characterization, - '
A drama so chock full of human appeal it wets the
eye because it touches the heart. It hits the heart
because it tells of the home.
