This year will pass into history at
the University pf Nebraska as one gt
the greatest in eot ball sport at the
r llusfter school. All indications are
' that IVJl win show a great grid iron
treason, but the 1920 Cortihirsker war
' rfors without a doubt plowed through
ofe of the most strenuous seasons
tn.it a stale university squad Ks
' ever had. t
Coach SchNjte's gridsters bucket'

elevenv'of both the cast aiidw&t,
and although not entergmg victor-
loos in all games, established a repu
tation that will stick to Jhe -Husker
institution of learning for years to
, come. 'This yean's team has done" it?
..share in upholding, the gridiron
iuuors of the university and besides
.. this, has firmly established the Corn
- - buskers on the foot ball map of the
' 'country,
. In meeting such teams as Notre
jUame,. 1'enn btate, Kuteers and
; Washington State, the University of
Nebraska has had soma of the most
formidable opponents in the foot
hall world this year. True it is, the
Huskers did not , win every game,
but Schulte's proteges showed the
old Nebraska,' fight in all games.
This year there were four inter
sectional contests on the Nebraska
schedule of special interest. The
, Raines between the Cornhuskers ami
Notre Dame. Peiiirtatc and Rut
jjers in the east, and Nebraska and
Washington State at - .Lincoln

enlivened interest in wiaeiy-scauerea

"N v As a result' of Nebraska's snowing
against eastern and western elevens
the past season, several of the big
universities in mis country nat
asked the Huskers for games next
Year. The Cornhuskers' return fo
the Missouri Valley, conference'
. makes it necessair to schedule
games witlv-the Valley teams, but it
is not at all improbable that the

Pinehurst, Dec. 8. (Special Tele
gram.) It has; fallen to the lot of
an Englishwoman,' now on a short
visit to this country, tovachieve tlie
first hole ever made in one at Pjne-
hurst by a woman player whtniMrs
Frederick P. S. Harris of London,
and the Starimore Country club,
playing jnja four-ball match on the
No. 1 course here this afternoon,
stepped into hef appointed niche, in
the hall of fame' at' the end of her
drive for the- 11th hole." The hole is
a-relative short one, the distance is
only 153 yaf4s but Mrs. Harris had
to play in the face of a9frong wind
and used a driver for the shot. The
ball tarried to about 20 yards short
of the green in a direct line Jtvith: the
flag and finally rolled into 'the cup.
, A search ot the golf statistics
available at the Pinehurst Country
c1uj not only shows tha no o.ther
hole in one has been made here by
a womaii player, but also fails to re
veal any record of a similar feminine
achievement on 'any other course on

Anderson Is Stsr. v
About T5,000 bugs saw the game
between Buffalo and Canton.- They
were attracted by the chance to see
Jim again playing the game he made
famous. They were surprised to pipe
21 other players who were just, as
good. Especially -'Anderson, who
turned out to be the star of the

The colleges -are against the pro
posed desecration : of commercializ
ing their almairtater game. Foot
ball is supposed Xo be the special
property of a-nutty cheer leader, but
there is no reason why it shouldn't
be public property. There ain't
much difference between the pro
teams and" a college, team except
that the pro counts his money be
fore he takes his shower bath, while
lie collegiate has his salary handed
to him in his salad or wakes up
Christmas morn and discovers fhat
Santa has been good to him again.

Leonard's Bout With Joe Welliiiff
Proves He Still Reigns Supreme
New York. Dec. 8. Folks ho
may have suspected that Benny
Leonard has lost some of his class
were disillusioned as a result of his
recent bout with Joe Welling, the
sturdy Chicago boy,
Welling, one of the toughest light
weights irr the business, stuck with
Leonard for 13 ' long and weary
rounds, taking a terrific beating and
giving Benny quite a little to worry
about. But Benny was at no time
in what might nave been called dire
danger of losing his crown, and the
title looks pretty safe where it is for
some time to come, unless we are
sadly mistaken in the way the
Bronx boy looks and acts.
Leonard found Welling easy
enough to hit, but a tough lad to
handle, because Joe shook off some
of Benny's best punches and kept
on coming back for more, always
ready to sail in with the hammer-
and-tongs. stuff and always trying.
Little wonder he had Leonard wor
ried Leonard, who, when he can
Hit his man wherever he wants to,

and out.
The fact that it took Benny 13
rounds to defeat Welling is noth
ing much against the champion,

I suffered for two years from m-

At times I would have indigestion
so badly that I could hardly breathe.
I also suffered from palpitation of
the heart, severe headaches and pains
in my back, hut thanks to. Tanlac, all
of these terrible symptoms have left
me and I now feel as well as I ever
