Army Grid Hopes
High This Year
No Graduation at West Point
Left 1920 Squad
Intact.
New York. Aug. 27. Army foot
ball hopes are running very high this
year. The fact that the absence of
the customary graduation exercises
last June has left the i920 foot ball
squad intact at West Point has had a
greater effect upon the collective bo
som of the gray-clad battalion than
all the muscle building exercises ever
devised by Colonel Koehler master
of the sword at the military incuba
tor. The potential Ferishings are ready
right now to wager their entire al
lowance for the next six months
upon the outcome of their battle with
the Navy. "
One reason for the optimism of
the youngsters up tlie Hudson is the
presence of good-sized classes in
their ranks.
The cadets started their foot ball
work early this year. When they
came down to Camp Dix for their
summer maneuvers they brought
along their moleskins. Those under
classmen who had any ambition to
follow in the steps of McEwen and
Oliphant, and who had set their
minds upon first year positions were
given a good chance to show their
ability. Lapt. Biff Jones and the
other coaches who accompanied the
battalion seemed mighty pleased with
the results of their out of season ex
periment.
Navy is in a good position to make
foot ball history, too. uniy tnree 01
the 1920 regulars were graduated
and they have been detailed as assist
ant coaches at Annapolis to aid in
the selection of their own successors.
Ewen, who was right end and cap
tain of the middy eleven last fait, wilt
have charge of the flanks when prac
tice starts late in September, while
Moore, the former right guard, will
specialize in line development.
Outside of the service teams and
Bill Roper's exceptionally strong ag
gregation at Princeton, most of the
colleges have suffered serious losses
in foot ball personnel since last No
vember. Maher's Record Is One
For Jockeys to Shoot At
Danny Maher, the American
jockey who achieved even greater
fame than Tod Sloan in England,
was born October 29, 1881, at Hart
ford, Conn., and died November 9,
1916, 2t the age of 33. During his
career on the turf in America and
England Maher rode 1,771 winners
out of 6,790 mounts. His classic suc
cesses in England included the Ep
som derby three times, Two Thou
sand Guineas twice. One Thousand

twice.
'Fighting Heart' Made Boxer of
Schlaifer Aspires to Win Title
So He Can Buy Parents a Home
ORRIE (KID) SCHAIFER. Omaha lightweight flash, who
meets Matty McCue of Racine, over the 10-round route
in- the City Auditorium next Friday night, is a fighter with
a "fighting heart." Training for a bout is never a grind
for the Jewish lad, for he really enjoys every minute
spent in preparation for a fight.
Ring history records few instances where fighters have
risen to pugilistic fame because they fought only for the
"money in it." But it does record where fighters have
So because he has a "fighting'f
heart," is Kid Schlaifer matched m
the stellar bout of Friday night's
boxing card. When Omaha fight
bugs see his name on the program,
they know he will perform to the
best of his ability. For that reason
he is a good drawing card.
Ike Bernstein, his manger, "aas vis
ions of making a second Packy
McFarland out of him.
Some interesting facts may be
recorded about Schlaifer. When a
small boy his irres'istible desire to
some day be a fighter caused him
to mange, someway, somehow, to
attend every fight. When he became
old enough to be allowed to box
and a preliminary fighter failed to
show up, Schlaifer was "Johnny cn
the spot" to offer his services, pro
vided the opponent was anywhere
within IS or 20 pounds of his weight.
In several of these impromptu
bouts he slumbered his opponents
and it wasn't long before he began
to appear in preliminary fights as
an amateur. About two years ago
he entered the professional ranks.
Schlaifer is 20 years old and has
more than 40 kayoes to his credit.
He fights at 136 pounds and his
only requirement is that his oppo
nent be hi3 own weight. He bars
n&ne.
Schlaifer aspires to hold the light
weight championship, and although
not touted as a contender now, ne
certainly has a good start. His oth
er ambition is to make enough
money to buy his parents a fine
home, and to convince them that
the career he chose against their
wishes holds something more for
him than it does for the ordinary
"ham an'" fighter.

Harness
Rule Designed
To Speed Ball
Game a Failure
Games Lasting Longer Than
Before Rules Became Effec
tive Umps Have Lost .
Sight of Its Purpose.
Only a short time ago, with much
blare of typewriters, base ball pro
moters put into effect a regulation
about not waiting for foul balls to
be returned when hit inside the
grounds, but ordering the umpires
to put a new ball in play at once.
This was designed to speed up the
action of the game by cutting out an
unnecessary wait. It worked well for
a while, but today the players are
nullifying that regulation by throw
ing the new ball around the infield
before the pitcher gets it. Frequent
ly the ball that was knocked foul
is back and in the umpire's pocket
before the slabman receives the new
pill. In consenquence there is more
delay at times than if they waited
for the foul ball to be returned to
play.
Games Lasting Longer.
Possibly the players and umpires
have forgotten the reason for the
rule. At any rate they are letting it
fall into the discard with the result
that games are lasting longer than
previously, allowing for the addition
al time consumed by larger scores.
Lots of fans can remember when
the catcher was ordered to stay close
behind the plate all through the
game. Twenty years ago the back
stop saved his hands and arms by
remaining close to the grandstand,
if the bases were empty, until two
strikes or three balls were called on
the batsman. At that distance from
the plate he did not wear mask or
protector and in those days snm
guards never had been heard of.
Old System Time Waster.
It was claimed the catcher could
go after foul flies better and faster
without too much paraphernalia on,
besides reducing the chance of in
iurv. And it cave the pitcher a
chance to use his own judgment in
handing up fast or slow ones, as no
signs were required from the catcher,
whose job it was to throw the ball
back to the pitcher. As soon as two
strikes or three balls were called the
game stopped while the catcher put
oi- his protector and his mask, then
strolled up behind the plate. Of
course if there were men on bases
he had to stay there to guard against
stealing.
That process of putting on and
taking off mask and protector many
times during a game consumed a lot
of time of course. It was the reason
for keeping the catcher back of the
plate all the time. Speed always has
been the aim of base ball promoters,
so as to make the action of the game
as continuous as possible.
"Fightin' Cop"
Can't Fight
New Yorkers Believe Wash
ington's "White Hope" May
Be Good Cop, But
Not a Boxer.
New York, Aug. 27. At last New
Yorkers have had a chance to see in
action Harry Darneille, Washing
ton's "fighting cop," who is touted
as the heavyweight likely to stop
Dempsey some day. Much has been
heard and still more said regarding
the splendid physique and fighting
ability of the policeman from the
capital, but after the battle he put up
against Fred Schroeder, an un
known from Yorkville, in a bout
which was scheduled to go 12 rounds
at the Queensboro A. C. of Long
Island City, Darnsille's appearance
is about the only thing he has to
recommend him as a fighterv
The "fighting cop" scored a
knockout over poor defenseless
Schroeder in the sixth round when
Referee Johnny Maukop stopped
the hostilities. When the fight was
over the general opinion prevailed
that as a heavyweight title prospect,
Darneille will make an excellent
cop. At the time the bout was
stopped, the affair had proceeded far
enough to lack competitive interest.
Neither boxer knew anything about
irmg art. They both stood flat-
footed, hands dangling and not
knowing what to do next.
Darncille's boxing ability may
improve, but his debut was certainly
anything but impressive. And if he
is going to do what his friends say
he is able to do reach the heavy
weight championship class, he has a
hard road- to travel. At present he
does not know how to strike a blow.

Match Between Hutchison and
Barnes Has World Title Aspect
New York. Aug. 27. Something new in the way of golf competi
tions will be staged by the Soundview Golf club on Labor day. What
practically amounts to a battle for the world's championship will be
staged there on that day between Jack Hutchison and Jim Barnes for a
purse of $2,000: Jack holds the British open title and Jim the blue rib
bon of the American links. Details for the contest were arranged several
days ago at a meeting of the club members at the house at Great Neck,
L. I. The winner will receive $1,250 and the loser $250 and a trophy to
be known as the Soundview trophy, valued at $250, will go to the winner.

In view of the fact that there is no

deciding the question, always rife

Three New Omaha Buffaloes
Invasion of British
Champ Dosen't Alarm
American Golfers
New York, Aug. 27. There will
be international competition in the
United States amateur golf cham
pionship tournament at St. Louis
next month after all. It had been
announced Great Britain would not
send a team to this country this year,
but recently word came that Willie
Hunter, winner of the British ama
teur title last May, would sail for
the United States shortly to play in
the American title tournament. This
will be good news to the golfing col
ony of this country and will heighten
the interest in the meeting.
Hunter's chances of winning in
this country, however, are considered
very slim. American players will
not fear his invasion greatly, be
cause he is not recognized in Great
Britain as a premier golfer. At the
time of his victory the British press
freely admitted that neither Hunter
nor Graham, his victim on the last
round by 12 and 11, could be classed
as premier golfers.
However, Hunter, being the Brit
ish amateur champion, is sure of re
ceiving a warm welcome here and
his play will be watched with keen
interest by all who attend the tour
nament Hunter did noffece any ol
the American players in the British
tournament, although on the semi
final round he defeated Darwin just
after the latter hsd eliminated young
Fred Wright of Boston. It is ru
mored that Hunter will eventually

Abolition of Guarantee System
Favored by Omaha Matchmakers;
Means Lower Prices for Bouts
HERE is a growing sentiment among Omaha matchmakers
for the abolition of the guarantee system unless money
mad fighting realize that boxing must return to normalcy.
In fact, a move is in its infancy which will ultimately
revolutionize the business end of the game, local match
makers declare.
The high demands of fighters and their managers
who have been getting a mint of money is going to sound
the death knell for the guarantee plan, unless thev fnrppf
3f
their million dollar ideas, it is believed.
$700 Deficient. -
To exemplify that matchmakers
and clubs staging bouts cannot con
tinue to make ,big guarantees with
out charging exorbitant admission
prices, the loss sustained on the
Lee Anderson-Sam Langford bout
was recalled. Each of the principals
was guaranteed $1,800 and when the
preliminary fighters were paid there
was a deficit of $700. The house was
not large" nor was it small. But it
was the amount paid Anderson and
Langford that made the big hole
in the receipts, not the amount paid
the preliminary lighters, who art
generally underpaid.
Langford is receiving more for
his ring appearance nowv than he
did in his prime, when he was touted
as a possible champion, and that
has been several years ago.
Percentage Basis.
Time is not far distant when there
must be a readjustment in fistic
prices. The public, which in the end
pays, must be protected, although
fans generally blame the promoters.
But it's the fighters who are respon
sible because their exorbitant guar
antees have made it necessary for
the promoter to increase ticket
prices.
Several Omaha club managers ex
pressed approval of making the
fighters gamble with the promoter
by fighting on a percentage basis.
Although it may hit them, they
conceded that it is the fair way.
Navy 'Strong Man' Amazes
Harvard Summer Students
Ignatius Neubauer, "the strong
man of the navy," who is taking a
summer course at Harvard, has the
students amazed by the case with
which he smashes Harvard's strength
records.
Recently he stepped into the class
in physical education at Hemenway
gymnasium and lifted 217 pounds
over his head with one hand. Then
he crawled under a table and raised
2,900 pounds off the floor with his
back. Neubauer is only S feet 6
inches tall and weighs but 160
pounds. Yet he can hold two horses

Use of Stopum
May Be Barred
Executive Committee to Dis
cuss Scored Cluhs at Next
Meeting.
New York, Aug. 27. Whether or
not any official legislation against
eeply scored club faces will be taken
this year by .the United States Golf
association will probably be determ
ined at an executive committee meet
ing, to be held shortly. So far as this
season is concerned, no action is in
sight, consequently those who have
acquired a fondness for the stopum
may continue on their way without
fear of the immediate future.
The same may be said of the stand
ard ball, which as the season ad'
vances appears to be meeting with
general approv.-.l. In the spring, it
will be recalled, fears were expressed
in certain quarters that the officially
accepted ball would prove too lively
or, rather, travel too far. In Great
Britain the standard ball met with
scant favor at the start, but only the
other day Howard b. Whitney, pres
ident of the United States Golf asso
ciation, received a letter from Nor
man Boese, chairman of the cham
pionship committee on the other
side, to the effect that the standard
ball was now in general favor and
much preferred to the floater.
But to return to the question of
clubs. The governing body in this
country, while keeping an eye on the
deeply scored weapons, deemed it
unnecessary to act quickly, as was
the case abroad immediately after the
openingat St.Andrews. In fact, a wave
of criticism is said to have started
in various parts of Great Britain over
what is termed as Scottish domina
tion. It is safe to say that in the
United States it would be impossible
to bring about a drastic change with
out long consideration and ample op
portunity for the players to change
their clubs in conformity with the
specifications. A year's notice would
be desirable, and pofsibly that only
after free discussion.

Foot Ball Bug
Starts Buzzing
At Nebraska
Prospects Look Bright for
Good Team at Cornhusker
Institution This
-: Fall.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 27. (Special.)
Foot ball enthusiasm at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, which has been
laying dormant among the Corn
husker followers of the gridiron
classic since the curtain was hauled
down over the 1920 season, is break
ing with an optimistic turn for the
coming season, although the first
scheduled game is more than a month
away and official foot ball practice is
not to get under way until the middle
of September.
Recent changes in the coaching
squad of the Cornhusker machine,
which always has been, up to a year
or two ago, one of the most serious
contenders in middle-western foot
ball circles, and the prospective re
turn of 15 letter men, are the chief
moving spirits for the joy that is
making itself manifest in the Corn
husker camp.
Head Coach Fred T. Dawson, ex
Princeton grid star and former Co
lmbia mentor, has been selected to
pilot the foot ball destinies of the
1921 Nebraska eleven.
Together with the selection of
Mr. Dawson has followed the an
nouncement that Owen Frank, for
mer University of Nebraska star and
described as one of the greatest
halfbacks the school has produced,
would second Coach Dawson in the
moulding of the 1921 machine.
Clarence E. Swanson, end. will
1ed the eleven this year. Swanson
was a member of the S. A. T. C,
1919 and 1920 teams, and last year
received mention among Ail-American
selections. He is a leader and
pastimer of the aggressive type.
Harold Hartley, Fred Thomsen,
Floyd Wright, Andrew Shoeppel,
Verne Moore, Harold McGlasson and
Harry Howarth are the backfield
performers who are scheduled to re
turn. Hartley, Moore and Wright are
a trio of speedy halfbacks, Wright
holding the distinction of being the
Nebraska hurdler and the speed
merchant of the 1920 Nebraska foot
ball squad. Thomsen is a fast, hard
hitting half. McGlasson and How
arth are quarterbacks and Shotppel
and Hoy are fullback candidates.
In the line, accordhig to present
indications, there will be Sherer and
Swanson, ends; Wenke, Pucelik, Ly
man, Weller, Bassett, tackles, and
Monte Munn guard. Weller may
be shifted to a guard position.
The freshman squad will offer a
wealth of material. . Lewellen, De
witz and Noble are backfield per
formers that showed up to good ad
vantage. Lewellen and Dewitz are
valuable at the kicking end of the
game.
Shonka, Peterson and Oden are
the likely line candidates.
Veterans missing from the lineup
this year include Fred Dale, Ernest '
Hubka, Newman, Wade Munn and
Bill Day, captain of the 1920 team.
Dale and Hubka were the consistent
ground-getters for the 1920 aggre
gation. Newman piloted the team
the last two seasons. Day was one
of the best centers Nebraska has
turned out and Wade Munn was a
valuable lineman.
Dana, end; Young, guard, and
Triplett, center, will also be missing
from the squad this year.
