Creiohtdn basket ball quintet dur ing the first six minutes of last night's game against Drake bore a close resemblance to the 'team that made such a remarkable record for the Blue and White last season. Dur ing those first six minutes, the team work of Coach fills' players was faultless and they rolled np a score of 14 to 1 against Drake. up uni'i iasi mgiii, iims i7i.u team, although composed of the same players who played on the 1919 quin tet, failed to even compare with that of last year. Captain Vandiver and Eddie Mul holland. guarded so closely that Drake got but three opportunities to shoot during the first six minutes last night and each of the three shots i; was attempted at a ridiculous dis tance. In the meantime, Ed Haley, Charlie Kearrtey and Harold Wise, forwards and center, worked the ball in and out 'through the whole Drake team twfe -and again and drooped it into tbe Cdghton basket. The first half ended with Creighton leading, 19 to 3. In the second period, after the first team had pushed the tally up to 34 to 10. Coach MiHs,sent in his entire second team.

Champion's Divorced Wife Volunteers Her Opinion to Universal Service Correspondent; Even Though Kearns and Dempsey Hire Some to Attack Her, She'll Publish Proofs. BY JACK JAMES. Wells, Nev., Jan. 25 Upon the next whim of Mrs. Maxine Demp sey, divorced wife of Jack Demp sey, hinges the future career of the champion heavyweight pugilist of the world. Mrs. Demosev declares, and her claim is said to be substantiated by tangible legal documents, she has proof absolute that Jack Dempsey, who has been dubbed a "slacker" by certain posts of the American Le gion, did seek to 'evade military service on' the grounds of depen dencies. Further, she avers that she herself signed Dempsey's questionnaire sub stantiating his claim tor exemption under threats not only of bodily harm, but threats that meant far more than mere pain, shame and degradation. ' Proof of Dempsey's alleged eva sion of military duty, so says his former wife, consists of not one, but numerous letters in the champion's own hand, written to her to arrange the "deal" whereby Dempsey might be enabled to ply his trade as pro fessional boxer without hindrance from the military authorities. But throueh fear of personal in- Jury at the hands of enemies who might be hired to take her precious letters from her by force, she will not reveal the hiding place of her alleged proofs. In her own good time, she says, these letters win De given all due publicity. . But until that time no one shall see them. Makes Affidavits. T. F. Giles, the' justice of the peace here, is known to have seeit Maxine Demosev s "proofs and tohave put them in the form of affidavits. He refuses to divulcre their contents, but admits that the evidence there in contained is "startling and con clusive." In her words: "Jack Kearns didnt want his fighter to be around wom en1. He has always been like that. He has tried before to come between some of his boxers arid thefr wives, but not with the same success he had in this case. He talked to Jack, and gradually his words began to have effect. Jack began to neglect me, and finally his neglect turned into something far; worse. He left me stranded, and here I am. I was in Salt Lake living with his parents when Dempsey wrote me, .saying he would have to have my signature in order that he might be placed in Class 4-A of the draft. "Through threats and promises I was forced to sign the question naire wiliich said that he was sup porting me and had supported me "As a matter of fact, I had sup ported him, as a good many be; sides ourselves know, and as I car. prove to the satisfaction of every one when the time comes. "I knew at the time that he was not going to really work in the ship yards. That was a 'mere bluff. He had his picture taken as a ship yard worker for that reason alone. He wrote me as much. . Gave Him Divorce. "We quarreled and separated lat er. No need to go into details, but he treated me as no real man would treat any woman. I cam up here to Wells. I had no other place to go. "Just about a year ago he in stituted divorce proceedings. He came to- me here, and under threats .Unbearable itching becomes infected with some impur ity, and the disease germs break out through the delicate tissues of. the skin. , They may appear as eczema, tetter, boils, pimples, sealv eruptions caused . by ' disease germs ; in the blood.

I made no defense. What was the use? What love J had had for him had turned to loathing and contempt The divorce was granted in February, 1919, and of all those promises he made, not -one has he carried out. I have never received a cent from him since, and I am not coming out now in hopes of get ting money. "My one idea now is simply to show the world what sort of a per son Jack Dempsey is. I want to bring him from , his present peak of success down to the gutter wliere he started. "I knew that I could not do this alone. Although I have had these letters all these months. I knew that the world would not believe me if I made these charges out of a clear sky. That is why, when a powerful organization like the American Legion began condemning Dempsey as a slacker, I realized that the time had come for me to speak." "I have the proofs," is her reit erated statement, "and all in good time the world will know that I have them. Nothing will stop me from spreading them broadcast. Not even though Jack Dempsey or Jack Kearns hires some one to come up here to attack me, will I be stopped. There is one other person who knows where these letters are, and should anything happen to me, that person will ee that they are given publicity." Young Fitzsimmons Scores .

Which suggests the 'dope that we ought to have a Memorial day for sugar, too. In future years the mint julep leaf will supersede rosemary as the vegetable of rememberance. On July 1 a soup-eyed crowd will gather reverently on the curbs of Fifth avenue, while the relics of the swift evap orating tribe' of barkeeps shimmy sadly to the tunc of "The Old Oaken Bucket," played by an augmented orchestra of thermos bottles, and cash registers. The "Oaken Bucket" is the barkeep's dead march. Leading the tear-jerking procession will be a professional pallbearer carrying a bar tawel at half mast. . Can you lamp a regiment of bouncers flatwheeling along on July 1, 1964? The spring of youth is gone from their buoyant rubber heels. The sparkle of vitality has flown from their once celluloid collars. The bright red that indicated a robust nose is faded and gone, leaving only a 'few strands of sickly pink, which is a false blush caused by busted capillaries. The hand of Time is like' a mule's hind leg. Can that quivering relic be the once powerful bouncer who staked us to the hobo's exit 50 years ago in 1918? Do you remember the lad that kissed his young wife goodbye without taking his cigar out of his teeth? It's only a married guy who can do that. Do you remember the letter which he wrote and which she waited for in vain? Burieson was post master at that time. '. He 'was a stalwart bird when he marched proudly down to Aady'a "Little Six" on the corner and waited for the hokies to come in and spear the free lunch. He could throw a poor sapp half-way home without knowing the fish's address. He thought the swinging doors were goal posts, and many a guy went over 'em without stopping to wait for his brown derby. .
