Cage followers are promised some
real exciting battles in the Com
mercial and Greater Omaha leagues
at the Young Men's Christian As
' sociation during the remaining two
H weeks of the 1920 season. i
In both of ' these circuits the
' races .are still undecidedt although
' the dopsters" have picked the
Omaha National Banks to carry off
the championship of the Greater
Omaha league and the Omaha Uni
versity Reserves to win the cham
pionship of the Commercial league,
out judging from the way the other
quintets are playing, the two leaders
will have a hard time in holding
their own.
For the past two weeks the
Omaha National Bank five, 'who
prior to that time did not lose a
game, met their "Waterloo" at the
hands of the Bowens and Townsend
. Gun Co., respectively, and although
the Banks have yet to meet the Live
Stock Exchange and the Commerce
High, the former tail-enders and the
latter fifth place team, they will not
have any easy sliding, as either of
these teams will likely upset , the
dope, i The Beddeos, Bowens and
Townsends, who are in a three
corner tie for second place, are but
one game behind the Bankers, and
should the Live Stock Exchange
win Wednesday night's battle from
the Banks, the race will then be a
tie. , ,- ' :
. The Townsend-Beddeo battle in
the Greater Omaha league should
no doubt be the best game .of the
season, as second place is at stake.
The Beddeos were victorious in the
first game against the Gun iters, but
r Carl Lutes of the Townsends says
i his quintet in out for revenge.
The Omaha -University Reserves
are leading the Commercial league
by one game, with the Council
Bluffs High and YA M. C. A. tied
for second place. Tuesday night
the Uni squad meet the Western
Union, and, according .to; informa
tion, the wiremen are out to pull the
league leaders down a notch,
Although the Pearl Memorials
met their first defeat of the season
last week, they are still irTEFst place
with a safe lead, and in order to
cinch, the Hag they must win but
- two more out of the remaining four
fames. All of the contests in the
.Church league promise to be of real
Interest and the. followers are ex-
pectcd to be on deck to cheer their
, favorites on to .victory. 1tv

Expert Says McMahon and
Other Nebraskans Will
Show Good at Mi- '
nois Event.
THg BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1920.
IIUSKERS HAVE
MADE ENVIABLE
BASKET RECORD
Lincoln, Neb, Feb. 29, (Special.)
Indications are that Coach
Schulte's Husker track artists are
going to show a little speed when
ther run in the Illinois relay games
at llrbana, 111., next Saturday.
The poor condition of the dirt
track and the inadequacy of the
board track has made it impossible
for the Husker tracksters '.to make
a record time in tryouts.
Byron McMahon, Husker quarter
miler who startled fans last year,
is given first mention by Walter
Eckersall, sport writer for the Chi
cago Tribune. Eckersall says that
McMahon and three other quarter
milers from Nebraska are sure to
make a good showing at the Illinois
event. - .
Schulte has held tryouts to select
a tentative team to represent
Nebraska at several meets during
March. . '
Besides McMahon, Gibbs, Stromer
and Ed Smith, who were members
of the Nebraska team that took sec
ond place in the mile relay at Penn
State last year, are out for track.
These men, with the addition of
"Squirt" Owen," track captain-elect
for 1918, should'make a formidable
crew. -
Subs Better Than Regulars.
Hebron, Neb., Feb. 29. Special.)
Hebron boys' and girls' basket
ball teams played Hardy teams in a
doubleheader Friday flight in the
high school gymnasium. The Hardy
girls , won' in a hard-fought battle,
score 4 to 7. The Hebron boys
walked away with the game, the
first half ending with 24 to 0 in their
favor. Substitutions were run in the
second half, and the score stood 52
to 0 at the close of the game. This
closes the season and the teams will
go to the tournament at Lincoln
next week. v ' , .

THE right way to end all wars is to put 'em in charge of efficjency ex

Everything on earth has a use and a place, but you'd haye .to drive
three weejee boards tandem to discover the answer to this cuckoo, btnci
ency is a new rash that has broken out in big business.
If a merchant prince is annoyed by his business, ha puts the works in
charge of an effish hound. In a week, there ain't no business to annoy
him. The first thing that the effish duke does when he avhefcls into sn
office is to fire everybody who looks as if herha9 authority enbufh to tire
the effish gent. ' 1 . ,
He cots down the overhead expenses bv th same method that the in-
en red the ninneera nf rlanHrtifT. Hv Jfalninor. Turn an expert lOOSe
in a Chinese laundry and he immediately fires alMhe Chinese.. He pulis
the spokes out of wheels, the cogs out of gears and breaKS tne xeem irom
saws. When there ain't anybody left in an office to fire, the expert hires
new sapps who can do one-third of the work at one-half the salary. He
cuts down the expenses by eliminating the receipts. After he it through
with. th nut fit thf hraa lrnnh nn thm front door will last f Of ever, and
the "Welcome" on the. doormat doesn t mean a thing, inen ne goes ow

as uccau waici aiiu ju.i can. , . ,wuu ,a . o -----
rhf- same.- There is the office bov who can answer
one question wrong twice. Youth is the only thing that bars him from the
senate. Then there is the blonde stenographer who chews gum in three
speeds and reverses .without stripping the gears. She wears ?ii snoes,
but is good to her mother.' She can take dictation backward and type
writes it the same way. -Three or four clerks who think the loose-leaf
ledger is the Third Testament, and the "boss make up the rest of the gang.
The old boat has been sailing along for centuries, everybody drinking
out of one Lily cup without getting more than their pro rata share of the
flu and wages. The boss inherited the works from his father, whose

Eleven Victories and But Two
Defeats on Nebraska Uni
1 yersity Cagers'
v Record.
Lincoln, Ne6., Feb. 29. (Special.)
With, 19 victories to their credit
and only two defeats, the Husker
basket men will mix in two games
with Colorado college next Friday
and Saturday. Colorado college is
the teams that succeeded in taking
Nebraska to its first defeat this sea
son on the Colorado floor. -
Nebraska's record in basket ball
is one that has never been rivaled
bv Husker teams in previous years.
With the exception of the defeat at
the hands of Indiana, the Colorado
quintet is the only one that has put
the Jiuskers away.
Rntk nf thft teams that have sue
fceeded in trouncing Nebraska were
the victims of . the Nebraska on
slaught in second games,, in which
the margin of points was wider in
little doubt but that Coach Schiss
ler's' proteges will have little diffi-
. Ti.- .L. I
t Uliy in pulling inc voiuiauo 4gK le
gation away in fine shape on their
own floor. - - v
, A quintet of former, Omaha lads
and a pair of speedy guards have
been largely-responsible for the
Huskers' enviable" record. After the
chaff had been separated from the
wheat there remained a first team
composed of Patty, Smith, Bekins,
acneiienterg ana uaney.
The summary of the season to
date follows:
Nebraska Basketeers ; ,
Return With Five More
Victories Stored Up
Lincoln, Neb.. Feb." 29. (Special)
Nebraska's basketeers returned
home today with five more victories
added to their credit Coach Schiss-
ler's men now have a total ot
victories and two defeats to their
credit for the season.
In v total number of points the
Huskers practically have doubled
the scores of their opponents. The
two defeats hae been easily over
come because of the fact that
Nebraska has been able. to defeat
both of the teams that defeated her,
by larger, scores. 1
Only two games remain to be
played. These are with Colorado
college Friday and Saturday of this
week. Colorado college is one of
the two teams that has succeeded in
defeating the Huskers.
Bee Want Ads Are Best Business
Boosters.
v During a lull in common sense the boss, paged an efficiency expert and
the panic was on. When he got through with the office it would have
made a fine bowling alley. There ain't any clerks left to eat up wages.
There's no correspondence to chew up valuable ink, and no safe for a
burglar to rifle. The spiders have another nest. The expert experted
plenty. The woodprint on the walls, dated 1859, and showing the home
factory when it was a mere ashbarrel, is right up to date. ,
But the boss is cherry, oh, as the effish expert has promised to get him
another job. . . , , 1 -
It was a fortunate thig that the Ten Commandments wera written
before some efficiency bandit iad a chance to cut 'em down to about two
