Here's One "Ringed Who Failed To "Ring" On Mat In Town of f isner This is a true story. It resembles somewhat in plot and action the scenario of a' six-reel thriller or a bit of clever press agent's fiction. The principal difference is that it ac tually happened. ' tWisner,NNeb., is the scene. Up in Wisiter a wrestler, who answer' to the name of Faddy McGill, makes kis headquarters. . Paddy is a success in Wisner. The mat fans thereabouts believe Jie is a ring-tailed terror. They believe he is the best in the world at his weight, 170 pounds. .They believe in him and they have faith in him, a quality which ordinarily is inconspicuous in most wrestling -communities. And Wisner, with its prnje and its faith, has wasted no effort in heating the tom-toms in behalf of its favorite son. ' Early last summer news of the fame of Paddy and the unbounded faith of the Wisner citizenry reached Harlan, la. Harlan is a farmine community, but one or two of its. native sons have found time to take up wrestling. x . Grubmeier a 210-Pounder. , One of, them, fairt.well known In Omaha, is a 210-pounder named Grubmeier. Grubmeier is what is known as a "money" wrestler. That is, he is particularly dependable when there 13 a stake up. . Grubmeier heard that Wisher was always ready to risk its wealth .on McGill in a mat contest. -The next dav he began to -train.

Beaver City Hich school-fbot ball aggre gation was defeated here this afternoon by the Red Cloud eleven, 73 to 0. and a companion cranked up a fliv ver and started for Wisner. V vThe invaders got down to busi ness right away. '"Heard there was a wrestler named McGill around these parts?" one of them suggested tentatively to curious natives. Wisner '"Tuned Up." He had said enough. Wisifer promptly "tuned up" and began to sing the praises of McGill in per fect time. , Details of the match-making are unimportant. Suffice to say McGill and Grubmeier were matched. And the money began to go up. Grubmeier offered to bet $50. He was called and the " ante Ijoosted. Finally, the invading Ibwans had all their wealth, several hundred dol lars up, and had put up the flivver against a couple of century notes. Then came the contest. Both men started warily. A rriixup. It was rough and tumble fo a moment or so. Then a deadly silence came over the spectators. They knew it was to be a wrestling, match. It was. It lasted an hour and 40 or SO minutes. The referee called it a draw. He did it, it is said, in order to f?scape being a party to a fatality. That was the. kind of wrestling match i7vas. Wisner is still talking. So are Grubmeier and McGill. Grubmeier got the surprise of his life. So did M:Gill. And both sides are thankful. For Nebraska's money still re mains in Nebraska and Iowa's money still remains in Iowa. The moral of this is that Barnum was wrong. There are two rorn every minute, at least some minutes. - i - -;v- :- wwEa May Cancel Contest; Of Army-and Navy Because of Hazing Washington, Oct. 30.-The Army ihd Navy foot ball game, the. great fnortinc event of the vear in offi cial circles, of the War and Navy departments, is threatened with can cellation as the result ot dissension in the student body at the Annapolis naval academy, growing out of re newed hazing, according to reports reaching here yesterday, High School Foot Ball Pierce 1 Leiah .

Morrie Schlaifer: Better Known As "Kid," Is Boxer With Clean Habits Has Omaha finally discovered a champion in the boxing game? That is the questman followers of the ring sport are asking. The subject ot the conversation is a tough little Hebrew lad from the South Side, who in the past year, has proved a sensation in local box ing circles. . About a year ago, Morrie Schlaif er, fighting under the name of "Jack Rhine," began taking on all comers in preliminary fights in and around Omaha. It didn't make much dif ference to young Schlaifer whether his opponent weighed 10 pounds more or less than himself. And the size of the purse didn't cut much figure Loves to Swap Punches Schlaifer fought because he loved to fight. A few minutes' notice always found him ready to take the place of any boxef who failed to appear for a match. Fans soon found out that "any time Schlaifer stepped into the ring they were going to see action. He didn't know how to clinch or stall, and insisted on forcing the fight every minute. He fought clean and ne"ver took unfair advantage of his opponents. Result, he became the most popular attraction in the local loxing game. . Matchmakers have tried for a year and i half to find somebody to beat him. Not that he couldn't be beat en, but it seemed that everv time the promoters got a better man to fight Schlaifer, the , scrappy little South Sider showed just enough im provement to return another win. Loses to "Sailor" Moss. Only once since Schlaifer donned the togs of a professional boxer has he been outpointed. That was bv "Sailotf Moss, at Fort Omaha about six months aero.

That's why. his friends say, he is-, so popular both in and out of the ring. Out of the ring, he doesn't get into any argu ments if he can possibly vade them. For every argument m'.;st have a loser, and losers sometimes have the faculty of "getting sore." So Schlaifer reserves his bellicosity for the ring. ' ' To Box Jack Leahy. It was Schlaifer's clean reputation as much as his fightirrjf ability that caused the American Legion athletic committee to choose this youngster for the main card in their program to be held at the Auditorium, No vember 8. This is his first main event in a big show and it comes as a reward for, cleanliness, say members of the Legion committee. His opponent. Jack Leahy, is an other fighter who has established a record for clean, aggressive boxirrg, hence the match ought to develop plenty of clean, fast boxing. When Tom S. Andrews, interna tional fight expert, was in Omaha recently he saw Schlaiferbox and immediately made him an offer to join the Andrews' stable cf fighters.

Despite the ideal foot ball weather, only a small crowd of foot ball fans trickled into the Creighton grid field to witness the games, which was characterized 'by unclean play ing on the part of both elevens. Dur ing the first quarter a Creighton backfield man was removed from the game by one of the officials for using rough tactics on an opponent.. "Cupid" Morjarty, fullback for the Omaha Catholics, was injured dur ing the initial period of play and was later removed to the St. Joseph hos pital. . - Smaft s,nd alert . following of the ball combined with variety superior line play, was the factor that turned the tide in Marquette's favor early in the struggle. It was the better line play and speedy backfield of the visitors from bginning to end that prevented Creighton from doing any great amount of damage. Score in First Quarter. " The play that allowed a touch down and goal from touchdown to perch on the Marquette bannercama in ( the first quarter. After eight minutes of scoreless playing, in which the Blue and White team was , mainly on the difensive, Condon booted the oval to Quaterback Kuchenberg in the center of the field The Milwaukee lads started marching down the field and after making two first downs, Walsh lurried the sphere to Cronin, who raced 43 yards for the first score. Walsh, lanky Marquette line man kicked the goal and :the.visitorsvhad a 7 to 0 start on their opponents. In Comparison, however, with Creighton's backfield attack, Mar quette seemed fast and the yellow jersey team's first line of defense worked like a well-oilfd machine when it came to opening holes in the center t of the local's line. Tim after tune Coach Ryan's linemen tore through the Blue and White front wall, opening up passage wayi for their backfield men. The interfentrrce given Marquette backfield men carrying the pigskin was one of the features of the con-, test. The visotors tackled well, vhile the Creighton gridsters were more inclined to down their man by grabbing him around the neck. ' " Locals Deserve Credit Cronin and Langhoff, Marquette lef ; and right halves, respectively, towered head, and shoulders over any other players on the fieldHrl point of offensive ability and ad vancing the ball, although the work of Driscol, Harmon and Condon, while he was in the game, deserves credit I The Marquette team ' was more powerful in piercing the line and showed a crushing strength . in straight foot ball Creighton tried hard to plunge through Coach Ryan's bunch of warriors, but on very ,few occasions were successful in gaining ground. Eclipsing even the doughty Lang off of the Milwaukee school, and Manley of the visitors, was Cronin. The. latter flipped forward passes, ripped off long runs andlirie smashes with equal ease. He was hard to bring down In running at all times. His broken field running was one of the bright spots of. the Marquette team's play. . Coach Mulholland's men appeared to be in poor physical condition. Several times during the contest time was called because of an injury to a local foot bailer. Despite the fact that Marquette was represented by a speedy team, Creiehton nut- n a hrA k.ui....J !?.uh,t for.- every inch of . ground. t was unaDie to stave off the attack f the visitors and as a result, yellow jerseyed players broke through the Blue and Whit front wall time: after time, only to down the Creighton man with the ball. - Marquette Scores in Last Period.
