FRANK RIHA NOW HAS RIVAL
Tel Jed Sokol Tyrs Believe Frank
Kocorek Will Win Colors from
the Champion.
ENTERS THE Y. M. C. A. MEET


Tel Jed Sokol Tyrs of Omaha has only
one athlete of the first class, as turner's
are ranged, but that one turner is such
an expert that the entire order Is
unanimous in their belief that their one
representative is the superior of Frank
Riha, the Tel Jed Sokol star of Omaha,
who once was second in the national
championships. The Tyrs man is Frank
Kocorek and the Tyrs is depending on
Frank to down the mighty Rlha.
For many years Riha has a clear field
in Omaha He has really had no one to
push him hard. His expertness and grace
on the parallel bars, the horse and the
horizontal bars we're regarded almost
perfect and wherever he went the deci-
sion was his Now comes Kocerek fore
ward to give Rlha run for his money.
These rival Tel Jed Sokol athletes will
encounter at the fourth annual indoor
meet, which will be held at the Audi
forum Friday night Riha 10 entered
with the Tel Jed Sokol team, but the
Tel Jed Sokol Tyrs has no team entered,
only Kocorek. The Tyrs only boasts OF
second and third class teams, so Kocorek
has no teammates.
Kocorek Is but "a years of age He has
been In this country six years and onty
became polished as a Turner since his
arrival over here. He learned some of
the game in the old country. but was
rather crude and far from perfect when
they undertook to make a turner out OF
him down at Metz hail Kocorek is only
five feet three inches tall. but he il said
TO work much quicker, oisier, quieter and
perform more feats than turner's with
more inches to their advantage.

Clarence Won't Let

NO smoking!'
That's the stringent order just issued

team bosses have the greatest difficulty
enforcing even an anti-cigarette rule.
But Rowland isn't afraid. After he had
posted his new edict he caught several

them. and not once since then have any
