Creighton Due for Defeat, Says Medium Creighton is due for a defeat next Saturday when it bucks lines with St. Louis university.

No one seems to know. The University of Omaha was the first to drop out of the conference. Now Cotner breaks the news that the Bulldogs have severed athletic re lations with York college, another member of the conference. When the conference coaches were drawing up their 1921 grid schedules, Cotner, Midland. Wayne and York scheduled tlve University of Omaha. Why the other teams in the conference refused to acknowl edge the local school is a question. Last season Omaha plowed through the season without a defeat, both in foot ball and basket ball. Were the locals considered confer ence champions? They were not. The reason was given that Omaha didn't play enough conference games. This season Coach Adams tried to schedule the required number of schools and missed by one school. Outside of Cotner. Midland, Wayne and York it was impossible to card more conference games. According to Athletic Director Moss of Cotner. York played Half back McLaughlin contrary to con ference rules and over the protest of Cotner. The result was that Cot ner severed athletic relations with York. Eleven state college teams com pose the conference without the Uni versity of Omaha. With 'foot ball one of the greatest of college sports, especially in Nebraska, it seems like there could be some way in which the Nebraska conference could be re organized and made' a success such as the Missouri Valley 1 conference, only on a smaller scale. Officials at the head of a confer ence who will make the teams "to the mark,' would help the Nebras ka conference. Scheduling of all teams in the conference would help, too. "Mike" Finn, secretary of the Omaha Western league base ball club, informed us just before leav ing for the south that the mag nates in the base ball world are dead against the lively ball now. They have found that too many go over the fences never to com back. And at $1.50 a copy. Oy. Eddie Mahoney, lightweight cham pion of the Pacific coast and the boy that Jack Dempsey picks as the next scrapper to beat Leonard, is con sidered the "Babe" Ruth of his class because of his mighty right hand. The Pacific coast battler and Ever Hammer mix irt a 10-round bout at the City auditorium the middle of this month and then local fans will have an opportunity to cast their glimmers on the lad Mr. Dempsey selc.cts to knock Champion Benny Leonard cuckoo, thereby annexing the lightweight championship. With the John Pesek-Martin Ples tina wrestling match scheduled for New York, November 14, fans throughout the country are wonder ing if the Gotham city promoters will go through with the tussle novv that much publicity has been given to the record of Plestina's manager. W. S. Farnsworth ' in the New York American, writes: "An Investigation haa disclosed that Plentina la a eelf-confessed faker, and that hi manager, George M. Marxh, alias Ole Marsh. Joe Carroll and "No. 22," ha erred a term In the Leavenworth peni tentiary for swindling with fixed race, boxing bouts and wrestling contests; also. Iliat Marsh waa for years one of the leaden of the famous May berry gang. "The investigation also disclosed that press agent have given to the newspapers a TaKe record 01 nestinas won on tne mat. In Monday's announcement these ?ress agents wrote: 'On the list of those 'lestina defeated are Wladek Zbyszko (twice) ; Jim Londns and Phil Hokuff. He also held Joe Steelier to a draw and did the same with Earl Caddoek.' "Careful Investigation of Plestina's rec ord shows that he never wrestled Wladek Zbyszko or londns: that Hokuff tossed him in straight falls: that Stecher de feated him three time and never wres tled him to a draw, and that Caddoek defeated him twice and never "wrestled him to a draw." When the famous "praying colo nels" of Centre college trimmed Harvard last Saturday Umpire Charles Moran of the National league, who coaches the Danville (Ky.) team was the happiest man in the world, outside of "Bo" McMil lin, Centre captain, according to press reports. Umpire Moran was permitted to knock off work in the Heydler cir cuit two weeks before the season closed, in order to resume his duties as coach of Centre. This will be Moran's last year at Danville, Ky., and possibly as an umpire, as he has accepted an engagement to start in 1922 with one of the big eastern cut leges at a salary said to run into five figures. : Ham Patterson, former manager of Jack Holland's St. Joseph West ern league ball club, and Jess Hes sell, changed their minds about wanting to sell the Dallas Texas league club for $150,000, when they j learned they would have to pay the government about 30,000 "ber ries in tax.

Emit Klank, who bandied the af fairs of the late Frank Gotch to the point where he was unbeatable, has taken the Roumanian under his wing and expects to match him with the leading grapplers of this country during the winter months. . They're at it again. Charlie says Jack can beat Johnny, and Fred says Johnny can beat Jack. Several days ago Charlie Sch neli, manager of Jack Ivey, heavy weight fighter, challenged Johnny Lee, not especially Lee, but any fistic performer in this section of the woods. Fred Myers, boss of Lee's fistic career, got wind of Schnell's challenge and immediately spent good money for postage to inform the press that any time Mr. Ivey desired to engage in fistic combat with Mr. Johnny Lee the only thing necessary would be a set of boxing gloves, a ring and a re feree. Furthermore, Manager Myers has $500 ready to wager on his charge against Ivey. Let's have action. Earl McArthur, Sioux City 118- pound ring sensation, proved to fol lowers of ring battles that he can swing his mitts over the 20-round route just the same as the 10-round way. Last week in Sioux City McArthur defeated "Babe" Asher, A. E. F. champion bantamweight, in a 20 round bout. The Iowan nearly had his opponent out on three ocassions, the bell saving Asher in er.ch in stance. McArthtir's climb up the pugilistic ladder has been a rapid one. The Sioux City scrapper was taken off a bread wagon last December and handed a pair of boxing gloves. In his first bout he showed the stuff. Later he defeated Bennie Vogcl, Joey Schwartz, "Babe" Asher. Walter Grayjack, "Knockout" Joe Gorman, Joe Mandell and several other good boys' of his division. When the local legion post stages its show here this month McArthur probably will, be billed in the semi win du p.

It concerns foot ball. Everybody in collegiate circle seems to be accusing everybody else and his neighbor of trying to swipe gridiron talent. It is charged th.it certain lures have been held forth to gridiron start for the purpose of influencing them to "jump" from one college to another. "Gridiron piracy that s the thing. Once upon a time foot bailer wasn't reckoned as a real college treasure. That was in an era before the dear, old, staid faculties awoke to the fact that a starry foot ball eleven was a million-dollar adver tisement for whatever instiiution of learning it represented. liut since the grand awakening practically every college in Ameri ca has been feverishly engaged in trying to lead "prep" school satel lites through the portals of its .ar ticular college. And because sonic scouts failed to grab a youngster, it is charged by rival institutions: "These fellows have been try ing to get our star players to quit our school and go to theirs by the promise of free tuition, free board and free everything else." The enrollment of each college. of course, is drawn from graduates of preparatory and high schools. Al most every "prep" school kid eith er is keen about indulging in athlet ics or is a rabid rooter. Therefore, when he moves along to a college, he insists that it be one which has an athletic reputation. ror no kid finds joy m rooting for a punk eleven. Nor does any young ster with ability care to go to a col lege, battle with everything in him and get no recognition beyond the campus confines. Great foot ball teams can make even the smallest college interna tionally famous. If you don't believe so, consider Centre and ueorgia Tech. A few years ago they were prac tically unknown beyond the town that housed them. That was an era before they achieved foot ball great ness. When their elevens began to steam roll those from huge colleges, Centre and Georgia Tech gained mil LIGHT-SIX SEDAN NOW F. O.B.
