gathered 13 points, shooting from all
angles and from all positions. The
diminutive forward played an ex
cellent game. - '-,
Captain Logan, Robertson and
Swoboda played a defensive game
that amazed the visitors in the first
half. Only one basket was made b
""St. Joseph in this period, and that
' was from the middle of the floor.
Leo Konecky accounted -for two bas
kets, starting the rally in both
. halves. " x , :
, The locals fought hard in the first
half, leadimr bv a 12 to 4 score. Bart-
ners. were awarded to Company C,

Fort Omaha Is, Invited to

; Ball league: ' v
' Tire Fort' Omaha soldiers'; team is
not barred from amateur base ball,
declares Jake Isaacson, secretary of
the Muntcipal. Amateur, association.
Moreover, it has been invited to
take part in 'the reoianization of
the Greater Omaha league by tak
ing a franchise.; , '
, F. T. King, manager of the khaki
nine, said recently that local
amateur leagues barred his team.
"In a rneasure,Kjng was right,"
said Isaacson yesterday. "To begin
with the soldiers refused to take, a
proffered franchise in the American
league. The Commercial league
could not allow them to .take part
because rules of the Commercial
league forbid the participation of
any player who is not employed by
a commercial firm and that firm the
backer of the team on which he
plays. . ' .
V "The Citv league had to eive its
only open franchise -.to Paxton
Vierling team because that organiza
tion was a member of the league
last year. That is why the sol
diers were denied admittance to the
City league. ' A
"Next Wednesday night a meet
ing of team managers will be held
in thecity hall to reorganize the
Greater Omaha league. The Mur-phy-DidrJts,.
the Cudahys and the
Holmes Wh'ite Sox are anxioui to
get franchises and the soldiers have
Seen invited to take one."
The Booster and Inter-City
league will meet Monday night in
the city hall. The Greater' Omaha
league and the Gate City league will
meet Wednesday night. The Ameri
can arfd Commercial leagues will
also meet during the week.

I MMl sftljHVERSIiYOF NEB RASKA j
The , 100-Yard Dash Primarily
jails itf a quick bufst 6f speed, a
short but sharp series of explosions
of nervous energy. FronT, starting
gurt to tape.e event calls for su
perior skill in" three distinct phases
of effort; the start, the sprint proper
and the pitch or finish. -
Without an instantaneous get
away, and a nice dash into top speed,
the .fastest runner can never ap
proach record time. Success in the
first part of the race depends upon
the mechanical position, on ,. the
marks, and the quickness with which
he getsff and'into his too soeed.i .
The Start The experienced starter
uses tour commands in putting his
men into the race: "Get Ready,"
"Gefon your Marks," "Get Set." and
the fourth command is th: gun itself.-
' . r
..., . Starter "Can Help. ,, . .-, ,
Right here it might be well jo'dis
cuss the starter's duty. Too often
the pporly trained or falsely .trained
athlete looks, upon the starter like
the: average bad boy- or criminal
looks, upon a "cop" as a fellow, that
you 'want to get away from, or that
is trying to get rou. The real starter
in his work exemplifies the finest of
.sportsmanship. He is a quiet
spoken,' confident gentleman, who,
dealing with real men, steadies them
on the mark, and when 'they are all
nicely " poised and not quivering 'or
jerking gives them the gun.1 He
never- tri.es to beat them witi the
gun to "snap" them nor does he
worry them.' , ', ..'
"Beating the gun," or getting a
"good" start, is a thing of the past.
The real athlete rooks at that sort
of thing as not just.righvt. The chap
who. tries te-.'.'beat the. gun", is on
a par with the fellow who slugs m
a foot ball game, or hits a chap
whitn he is down. On the other
hand, thevchap'who doesn't Allow
