Cambridge High of Cambridge,
Neb., was officially declared the
1920 state high school foot ball
champions yesterday at a meeting
of the board of directors of the Ne

:iatioi and a - committee of four
representing the State Teachers' as

Besides the Cambridge High, Te
cumseh, Friend and Anslcy High
teams went through the past season

claring the Cambridge High the state
grid champs, based their award on
the class of teams defeated by the
Cambridge aggregation,.
At the meeting it was suggested
that the state be divided into dis
tricts and the high schools in each
division stage a ba.-ket ball tour
ney, the winner of each tournament

state schools was discussed. One of
the rules adopted- regarding clcgibil

3Y J. MOWELL HAWKINS.
;rrofeastonal Trapshooting Champion
of Penna.)
Only the rea experts at both of
:ielil shooting and trapshooting un
derstand the relationship,, of the two.
You frequently hear some mediocre
shot, or one who has had very little
experience of either, saj "trapshoot
tng does not help one to become a
x lood field shot," or you hear some
itfceacre Who has seen 4 target shoot
once or wico express himself thusly:
"Trapshootcrs can hit those rocks but
they cannot hit a thing in the field."
Then ho will tell you about "John
Jonea," one of our best trap shots
who went south hunting quail and
lid not get a thing. "They all beat
Jim," he adds, and concludes with:
"Why trapshootcrs can't hit them
in the field."
He fails to Impart that "John
Tones" was in poor health, had( never
shot a gun in his life, had taken up
trapshooting for recreation and ex
ercise, had regained his heatth, un(l
xpne fall went out for - hunt, wrapped
in heavy stuffy clothes, carrying his
long stocked trap gun which was too
straight and close for field shooting,
and after becoming nearly exhausted
from blisters on his heels, caused by
ill fitting shoes, had a, shot at a bird1
flying over his head, a few in the
brush and a long shot' or two, then
was compelled to stop, perhaps with
out any game to his credit. s
Trapshooting is a game indulged
in by many who are unable to stand
a hard day's hunt. In order to hunt
a man mult train. He must take
long .walks, or other physical exer
cise, before going out in the field.
Then he must have a shorter stock,
and possibly a little more drop at
tho comb, the proper load, .clothes
and above all the right of shoes.
What to Wear in the Field.
"Uncle Billy" Wagner, one of iho
greatest live bird and targets shots
i ho world ever saw, without a peer
at duck and field shooting, told me
twenty years ago, after his fifty
years' experience, that the lestifoot
wear for the field shooter was a pair
of U. S. army shoes. His method was
toget a pair of 6hoes one size too
large, then put a' heavy wool sock
on over his regular sock, and then a
pair; of lumberman's socks, just
enough to make up the extra size.
I tried this and it wtis like walking
upon velvet carpet all day. I would
never attempt to go hunting unless
equipped in this manner.
Many hunters make tho mistake
of wearing heavy boots and leggins
that bind the muscles. Most of these
men are unable to get up for break
fast the second morning, if indeed
they finish the first day. The trap
shooter must prepare himself for
hunting, just the same as one would
lor any other sport Imagine a man
running a five-mile race without
raining. How long does the city dog
that has had no exereiso lasf on a
hunt? To' get the best results you
- should run your dog five to ten miles
a day forTive or six weeks before
starting to hunt him In the fall. The
suburban and country sportsmen
work their dogs and keep themselves
in trim throughout the year and. when
- the hunting season opens -they" are
v ready except the shooting, and unless
they have practiced that fundamental
their chances of getting the game Is
not much better than the trapsliooter
s who has not prepared for the hunt.
Tf.kA your choice. I would take
tny chance on a bet with Lester Ger
man, Charlie Spencer, Walter Huff.
'Top" Heikes, Fred Gilbert or John
Taylor., famous trajjshooters, against
cny man who. has vet shot-a gun In
practice for his fieftl shooting.

Comes to Creating Commotion
Chicago Tribuiie-Oiiiuha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Nov. 30. OpcYa stars
who usually create much commotion
when they arrive at the railway sta
tion in Chicago, faded into insig
ificance today when Johnny Evers,
new pilot of the Cubs base ball team,
stepped off the Twenty Century Lim
ited and immediately became the cen
ter of an admiring and highly en
thusiastic throng.
He was closely followed by Judge
Kcncsaw M. Landis, who went cast
to witness the Army-Navy foot ball
game. The white-haired judge, .who
is now the supreme arbiter in all
base ball affairs, and Evcrswcre'
made the target of many cameras and
motion picture artists. '
Judge Landis made it clear that
plans for stamping out gambling in
the national pastime will be com
pleted next month when the major
leagues hold their join meeting in
New York. -
"The gambler must pass out of
base ball for all time," he said. "Just
how this cir' is to be attained, I am
not prepare to say, birr it must be
done. Most states have anti-gambling
statutes and these will be in
voked whenever needed to aid us in
our campaign. Where laws arc not
rigid enough;' we 'will seek to have
new ones passed that will protect the
game." '
Evers was enthusiastic over his re
turn to Chicago, and is ready to
jump into the work of rebuilding the
Cub machine at once., The Cubs have
more than 35 athletes on the reserve
list and1 about 12 of these are due
to get "the air." It is understood

The captaiu-elect at Central was
on of the best ground gainers on the
team and played a hard and clean
game throughout the season. His
abilityto hoot the pigskin when his
teams was in danger &nd was one of
the bright spots of his play. He is
liked by his fellow students and
should make a good leader for the
team next season. .Meston was

Omaha Bee's all-state high school
team.
Mcston's athletic civility is not
limited to foot ball. This, hard-fighi-ingMvarrior
is one of Central's best

all the credit due him for his fighting
ability," said Benny Leonard today

(fame little Chicago lightweight, "I
never want to meet a tougher bird,"
continued the champion.- "Why, that
fellow-kept tearing ' into me every
moment last Friday night and I had
the time of my life in shaking him
off.- Several times during the bout
I tried to kid th; westerner, but
found that he was a little better at
repartee than I was, so I stayed off,
him and determined to win in another'
direction.
"When we came into the . iifsl
year.
thai Evers already has half a dozen
deals undef way. He did not waste
much time down town, but hustled
out to the ball park and went into
executive session with President

Promoters Reticent About De

sey's Antipathy Toward
Britain Overcome.
New York, Nov. 30. In the event
that no suitable place can be found
in this country to hold the forthcom-ing-.heavyweight
boxing champiqn
ship bout between Jack Dempsey,
world s champion, and Georges Car
pentier, European holder, the con
test may be staged in England, it
was reported here today.
Neither -Tex Rickard, one of the
Irio of promoters, nor Jack Kearns,
Dempsey's manager, would admit
that negotiations had been started to
hold the contest abroad, but Kearns
said Dempsey's formerly expressed
antipathy to going outside the
United States had been virtually
overcome.
The proposition to shift the fight
abroad was said to have been
prompted by coldness exhibited by
members of the New York state box
ing commission toward holding it in
this state. It was admitted that
Charles B. Cochran, the English pro
moter, is tentatively negotiating for
a suitable site near London in case
plans to hold it in this country arc
not consummated.
Jack Dempsey,' world's heavy
weight boxing champion, is acting
r.s sparring partner to Jack Sharkey,
local bantamweight, in preparation
forthe latter's bout here next Thurs
day wUh Joe Lynch.

Foot ball fans would like to sec
Notre Dame and Pcnn State pull and
haul for the foot all championship.
Which is a neat ambition and still
legal unless congress passed another
amendment last night. But getting
'em together is a horse collar of a
different size. The same fans seem
to figure that all the promoter of a
big tight has to do is to feed the
cow a little hay and then skinv the
cream off an ocean full of milk. But
getting two champs together ain't
quite as easy as losing shi umbrella
in the cafeteria season.
Lookut Dempsey and Carpcirticr.
The boys wore out 11 G strings fid
dling about and now are further
apart than an octegeuarian's teeth.
They may drum away next June if
they hjtpnen to like the color of the
1921 calendars. But nothing is offi
cial and Carp will probably sail over
here just to clown in front of the
moving picture lens. Then he will
paddle away again suffering from
double mumps of the bankroll.
Getting 'Em Together.
Same thing with Tendler and
Leonard. Looked like the bout was
made up like a Pennsy train, when
suddenly Tendler picked an idea out
of one of Butterick's pattern ' cata
logs and demanded 50,000 washers
for his end of the works) He got
the muddy end of the magic wand.
Returns from the outlying districts.
