John Pucelik
Invites School
to Investigate
All-AinmYau CuarJ Admit
Playing at Sioux City, Hut
Sa)i lie Received
No Money.
Lincoln. Nb,, l'cb. 5. (Special
Telegram.) "I played football with
a Siou City team about two weeki
after the clone of the football ea
ton Ut full, but 1 did not play pro
Visional foothall," laid John Tuce.
lik, giant Cornhusker guard and All
American end tar, Sunday follow
ing the publication of rtimori that he
and Captain Swanson of lust sea
son' Nebraska foothall team had
plavrd professional football,
"Swau.on and I both played in one
game at Sioux City, but we did not
receive a cent for doing o. We were
through with college football and
by playing- with the Sioux City team
we did nut in anyway conflict with
the MiMouri Valley ruling nor any
other intercollegiate ruling regard
ing professionalism. '
"Furthermore 'I'ip' Cook of Lin
coln, was not in Sioux City when we
played, or at least be did not show
himself, when Wade Munn of the
Sioux Ci.ly team, tried to locate him.
"I would almost swear that
'Swannic did not play in any other
outside games during the season. I
understand that be is now in Okla
homa, but I am certain he would
deny having played 'fro' foot ball as
(irmly as 1 deny it."
Tucclik stated that this game at
Sioux City was the only game in
which he had engaged during his
grid career outside of the 25 games
in which he played with the Nebras
ka team, and seven or eight games
with the Spencer high team, lie also
stated that he had refused to play
on a "pro" team at Kausas City, as
had Swanson and Lyman folowing
the football season.
"As for myself, I welcome an in
vestigation of charges that I played
'pro' football, baseball or any other
game during my career. As for the
graduate of 1913' I would be pleased
to have him go through with what
he has stated, and as for any other
who has contributed to the charges
by his statements I would like to sec
him prove these also."
Pucelik was not only displeased
with the manner in which the
charges were made, 5. c. by an
anonymous letter, but stated that the
author of the letter was unfair in his
charges against both himself and
Captain Swanson. Pucelik states
that he is willing to answer any
questions regarding the charges so
far as they concern himself and that
... t r t
neittier ne nor awanson nave any
thing to conceal. He says he is will
ing to take all of the criticism of
fered until "Swannie" gets back to
protect himself.

and then the other. A free throw

which gave the visitors a one-point
advantage. Trinity again forged to
the front when Captain Harrington
dropped the sphere through the
hoop. ' , . .
At this juncture Coach McCandless
made a change in the visitors' line
up, and a decided improvement was
noticeable in Wesleyan's play. Tho
Cornhusker Methodists gradually
pulled away from the Trinity caper?,
and at the end of the first half held
a four-point lead, the score being 10
to 6. '
Trinity fought hard to overcome
Wtsleyan'a lead in the second half,
but were completely outclassed.
Smith and Anderson were the out
standing players for the vistors, white
Kickey, Haringtqn and Carey played
well for Trinity.

By RALPH WAGNER.
ENVER will have a baseball team in "Pa" Tier
ney's Western league this coming season, pro
viding the clu bowners of this loop are willing
The announcement that Denver would
again become a member of the Western) league
was made yesterday by F. L. Whitelock of Sid
ney, Neb., following a conference held in Kansas
City Thursday, and another at the Conant hotel
of this city Saturday. ;
Whitelock. together with
'Cob'-
Lcwe and Dr. Adkins, ali ot Sidney,
have secured an option on the Joplin
(Mo.) Western league franchise after
February 21.
The-'rcgular schedule meeting- ot
the league is scheduled to be held at
St. Joseph, Mo., February 20, and
during this meeting of the loop mo
guls the club, owners, will decide
whether or not they are willing to
permit Denver to joig the league.
According to the T)maha owner
and secretary, the Western league
magnates throughout the circuit are
in favor of Denver returning to the
league. However, the new Dcnve
owners must prorate the - expenses
among the clubs so that in making
he trips to the "Mile High city the
expanses will not be too steep.
Whitelock, Lowe and Adkins, three
of Nebraska's best sportsmen, met
with Jimmy Hamilton, former man
ager of Joplin, and Nathan Rosen
berg, owner of the Joplin franchise,
in Kansas City Thursday. , Dunns
this conference the Sidney trio com
pleted 'arrangements whereby the
Miner franchise would be transferrct
to Denver, providing the Western
league, decided in favor of that city
at the schedule meeting February 20.
No mention was made during th
meeting here Saturday of the'amount
of money paid for the Joplin option.
However, baseball men who are wen
vtrsed in Western- league affairs
assert that the Toplin club was on
the market for close to $30,000.
The Sidney sportsmen have leased
the baseball park in Denver,, which
is located in the ''heart" of the city,
for a term of seven years. Tin'
Chamber of Commerce, Rotary clutt
and, in fact, all the civic organiza
tions of the western city are in favor
of Denver returning to Western
loaguc baseball, and have pledget!
their support'to making it a success
ful ball town.
"The Chamber of Commerce," said
Mr. Whitelock, "is strong for West
ern league baseball in Denver. This
organization of Denver business men
Inve even gone so far as to say thai
they will raise enough money
through the selling of tickets to he!i
carry the club through the season.
What more could we ask?"
Jimmy Hamilton, one of the most
popular Western league ball players
who ever donned a baseball uniform,
is part owner of the Denver club.
Jimmy, who is an outfielder of no
Miiall ability, will be playing manager
for the Denver team. F. L. White
lock and Dr. Adkins, both of Sidney,
ire president and secretary and treas
uicr of the club, respectively.
" Joplin entered the Western league
in 1917, whn it took over the Topeka
franchise. The Miners enjoyed a
successful season in 1918i and the
season1 following, but in '1920 and
di-ring the past year, business condi
tions in Jopliii and the vicinity be
came unsettled and the Joplin own
ers lost money. The Miner franchise
changed hands a couple of times be
fore Rosenberg secured the club.
Denver dropped out of the West
ern league after the end of the 1917
season. During the time the western
team was in the circuit it captured
lour pennants 1900-11-12 and 1912.

Chief Dempsey
Do You Know?
SITTING impassive in his
cab as bis might steed
roars through villages and
thunders over bridges, the engi
neer holds in his hand the
j destiny of all who ride behind
' him. :
His hand on the throttle,
, his eye ever alert for danger, 1
he- saves a thousand lives a
thousand times, all unknown.
His calling is one that is at
tained only after an arduous
apprenticeship. He is the most
picturesque of all the men who
make a railroad.
Many Great Western engi
neers have been with the road
a score of years. Others have
served their apprenticeship
with other lines; but all have
but one purpose in mind
better to serve the patrons of
the Great Western.
