Omaha May Get Gopher Foot Ball Game
Track Schedule
at University
Now Complete
Morningside Given May Eight as a
Practice for the Big Contests
to Come.

LINCOLN. March 1S.-(Special)-Man-
sEer Eager today completed the Nebraska
track schedule for this spring by closing
up a contract with M~ornlngside college
for a meet to be held in Sioux City on
May s.. This is the first time in the his
tory OF athletic relations between the two
schools that the Methodists have been
given a place on the varsity's track list.
Two years ago. however, the Nebraska
freshman cinder Path athletes met the
Sioux City team and won out by a narrow
margin of two points.
The meeting this season between the
C~ornhuskers and Morningslde can be Moth
ing more than a practice contest for DR..
Clapp's men. for the Methodist school is
one of the minor colleges of Iowa and
does not make any pretensions TO being
in the first rank. II was taken on the
Cornhusker schedule in order to give the
Nebraska athletes practice and to
strengthen the existing friendly relations
between the two institutions.
with M~orningside booked for May s, Ne
braska now has three dual meets and
the conference games on its schedule. The
other two schools TO be met in separate
games are Minnesota and Kansas. The
Jayhawkers will come to Lincoln and Ne
braska will go to Minneapolis. The Mis-
souri, valley conferences games this spring
will be held in Des Moines on Saturday,
June I.
The date for the first annual inter
class indoor athletic meet has just been
announced for Saturday. March 20. Fifty
or sixty of the university's best athletes
will take part in these games. Prepare
tions are being made daily for the event
and the men Of the various classes are
carrying on their practice in the gym
nasium under the coaching of DR.. Clapp.
Medals will be awarded to the winners

With reference to a match with Jack
Johnson, Jeffries says: I'm not going to
make a fool of myself. ! don't know yet
just how good I'll be. but I'm going TO
find out. l never did take foolish chances.
I trained as hard for Munroe as I ever did
for anyone, and I knew Munroe didn't
have a look in. When I go into the ring
1 know I'm right. I've always stuck to
that and I always will. I may be all right
today to hand out a quick Knockout. But
I'll never set into a ring again unless ]
know I can go twenty or forty rounds OF
to a finish and be strong at the end. ]
don't know myself how much stamina !
have left. I haven't wasted my strength
In dissipation like other champions. I've
kept clean and lived out of doors. But I've
been out or the ring for four years. A
man must fight often to stay on top. Sup
rose / fought this Johnson when l wasn't
right and got beaten. Why. I'd be hooted
at all over the country. When I tell my
friends I'm fit to fight they can depend on
it aud bet their money on me. Unless 7
know myself that I'm as good as / ever
was I'll never put on a fighting glove
again with any man, black or white, and
that settles It. Until then I'm not going
TO talk fight and make any bluffs. I'm
an undefeated champion right now. and II
! ever fight again I will be sure that /
can keep up to my record. That's ALL"

Mrs. II. II, kesSler. ol No 2001 East Scull street. yesterday made applica tion to County Judge James Gould to be permitted to legally adopt Ella and George Oxford, and 6 years old re- spectiyely, but the request was denied. The law does not give Judge Gould the authority to issue adoption papers where the parents of the children are known to be living. Mrs kesslcr was advised to continue to keep the little girl and boy and provide for them, for it is doubtful if the parents ever make demand for their custody,
 Mrs kessIer is the wife Of the fore man oi q beading factory here and is very anxious to adopt the children. They were left at their home q month ago, both in i'll health, by the father, Isaac Oxford, who said he gMas ill and destitute and wanted to gfo to a hospf heard from him The mother of the children is believed to bein Russell ville Mr. and Mrs. kessleR have pre- vidcd for the children and nursed them back to health Mrs. KessIer states that she and her husband who have no children of their own have became greatly attached to the tots and would hate to lose them now. They are willing to adopt the girl an1 boy and give them every advantage as we'll as good home. The little girl
 is a pretty blonde with big blue eyes,
 and the boy is equally as attractive. They formerly lived with their father i on q hOuSebOat at the foot of Walnut street but the father was taken ill six
 weeks ago and the three were moved
 to the Jefferson county almshouse. 1 They were cared for there by pr. Sac conf and when the man recovered he i took them to the kessler home and left them there.
