HENDERSON GOOD
MATCH FOR IOWAN
Caddock Will Have to Show
Glass to Dump Opponent
Who Takes Turks Place.
MAKES HIS OMAHA DEBUT

That Mort Henderson will give
Earl Caddock, the Anita, Ia, flash,
a better run for his laurels than would
have Yousiff Hussane, is the belief
of Omaha wrestling fans. The Ter
rible Turk was first scheduled to
clash with Caddock November % at
Council Bluffs, but Yousif cancelled
the engagement because he says he in
jured his foot in bout at Chicago.
Dan Reardon. who is promoting the
20, signed Henderson up to take
Hussane's place.
Henderson is a product of Altoona,
Pa. Back in the coal mine country
they regard him as coming cham
pion. Henderson is still young fell
low and is still coming. Hussane has
passed his prime.
Mort has met many OF the top
notchers of the game. He is favorite
in the east and he has formidable
record of victories He is thorough
student of the game and rapid
thinker. 1t is believed he will put up
stiff bout with Caddock.
Earl has been training diligently
for the approaching match. The can
collation. by Hussane did not cause
Earl to make any reductions in his
training schedule and he is working
even harder in preparing for Hender-
son. He realizes he is up against a
tough proposition and intends to be in
tip-top shape.
Caddock is practically making his
debut before Omaha and Council
Bluffs mat fans. Earl has wrestled in
Iowa and Nebraska, but never in
Omaha. Local followers of the game
have heard lots about him, but have
never seen him.
SO Earl is making an additional eff
fort to make a good showing. He
hopes to meet Joe Stecher some day.
His supporters hope SO, too, for there
are lot of wrestling fans who believe
Earl is the boy who will put Joe's
shoulders to the mat.
Dan Reardon has provided couple
of fast preliminaries and believes he
has a mighty good card prepared for
the local mat fans.

Five hundred choice seats for the

the Beaten Drug company.
Reservations for tickets to the tur-
key day conflict are coming in on
every mail at Lincoln and practically
all the choice seats there are said to
have been sold. But Guy Reed held
out 500 seats for Omaha so that local
fans who wish to see the fray will not
have any difficulty in procuring them
If they act now.
The seats sent to Omaha include
800 on the south side of the field and
200 on the north side. Both blocks
are in the very middle Of the field
and no better locations could be
asked.
Vincent Hascall, secretary OF the
Omaha alumni of the state univcr-
sity, expects at least 1000 persons to
70 down from Omaha and he advises
those intending to make the trip to
get their tickets now.
The Burlington will run special
train from this city to the game. 1t

that Young Lawler was too modest
for his own good and made note
to have the city hall reporter ask
Chief Dunn why the muffier law
wasn't enforced.
About this time Marin Plestina en-

And Martin kept up running fire of
chatter about how he'd wrestle Cad

auditorium or barn, for money or

pair of brass knucks to boot.

planned it. Plestina wrestled it off of
him.

hour or so; saw Jack Reynolds, a
weller, stand off Gene Warner, who
weighs l70 pounds, and thereby lost
a bet of three Wheeling stogies, and

SETTLE GLASS B
CITY TITLE TODAY
Athletics and Ben Kennedy
Colts Will Clash for suprem-
acy Of Secondary Elevens.
NoNPAREILs GO TO BLUFFS
By FRANK QUIGLEY.

After a desperate fight, with both
teams battling to the end, the indie
pendent foot ball supremacy Of
Omaha and probably of the state was
definitely determined last Sunday
when the jamboree between the Mon
mouth Parks and the Nonpareils fin
ally terminated with the Nonpareils
keeping their coveted crown. The
game itself, according to local foot
ball experts, was the cleanest and
most exciting championship match
ever witnessed in or around these
jungles. 1t was full of open work,
consisting of aerial passes and decep-
tive plays of various kinds, which kept
the fans in frenzied state from the
toot of the whistle until the last Sec
ond OF play, and was won by the
champs during the last few minutes
Of play.
Wisner has no team this season and
the Nonpareils trimmed Havelock
and they are willing to play any team
in the state which disputes the cham
pionship claims.
Now that the Class A supremacy
has been settled, the fans are anxious
to have the Class B controversy put
on ice. And their anxiety will termi-
nate some time this afternoon. Only
two teams are still eligible to partici-
pate, the Athletics and Ben Kennedy
IL L
three strikes at Luxus park this after
noon. These two teams are approx
mately evenly matched, but neverthe-
less the Athletics are slight favorites.
According to the manager of the
Colts they will be real frisky and kick
dust at the Athletics. Each squad
has a large bunch of followers, so a
big crowd will undoubtedly decorate
the stands.

Having fortified himself with soft
drink-preparedness for May 1.-The
reporter invaded the sacred precincts

rounds with Young LAWYER, the H.

Snipes and LAWYER cut out their
brother-in stunt when the scribe

overlook golden opportunity.

The lineup:
Nonpareils to Bluffs.

This afternoon the Nonpareils will
journey across the creek and battle
with the Council Bluffs Longeways,
champions of southwestern Iowa. Ac-
cording to the Longeways all the
Nonpareils will have to stand on
after the contest will be their dignity.
Enmity of the sour sort exists be-
tween these two aggregations, so a
row that will make your temperature
go skyward regardless of atmos-
pheric conditions is anticipated by the
followers of both congregations. For
several weeks this game has been an
uncertainty because both teams want
ed to play in their own backyard, but
finally the Omaha troupe agreed to
quarrel on foreign gridiron. Always
in the past the champions of Omaha
have whipped the opposition planted
across the waves and the Nonpareils
will undoubtedly uphold the reputa-
ton already manufactured. The red
flag will be raised by the Council
Bluffs Longeways, but as the Nonpa-
reils are similar to a pack of bulls
when danger crosses their path and
especially when inflated with such a
covetous desire-that of humbling
the Council Bluffs Longeways-the
latter will be up against a tough
proposition. Game called at 3 p. M.
at Athletic park, Council Bluffs. The

STATE HIGH TEAMS
WIND UP SEASON
Omaha and Lincoln Lead with
Six Victories, No Defeats
and One Tie Each.
UPsETs TOWARD THE END
CONFERENCE STANDINGS.
BY KARL LEE.

The best nine high school teams OF
the state wound up an eventful sea-
son, claiming honors in the order
named above. The final games in the
state were productive of upsets, but
these changes had little effect on the
predicted leadership.
The comeback of Coach Patton's
South High Packers and Coach Grant
Parsons Kearney midgets proved
homestretch sensations. A shift in
the Packer line added speed and scor-
ing power, while the return Of Brown,
veteran quarterback, and the shift of
Alb Panek to his old position at full
back on the Kearney team, were re-
sponsible for those sudden changes
for the better.
Titles Are Settled.
Championships in four districts
were settled with practically no dis
pute. North Platte holds undisputed
sway in the western part of the state !;
Norfolk in the northeast; Beatrice in
the central and southeast, and Cen
trail High and Lincoln on par for
titular honors in the east. Cambridge,
Gothenberg and Lexington came
through the season with excellent rec
ords. The former team suffered no
defeat at all, although the teams
played were second class. Nebraska
City also remained indicated, al
though it played tie game with Uni
versity Place, which was decisively
beaten by number OF teams of the
state. South High and Grand Island

will have trife OF advantage in beef,
but, nevertheless, the Midgets say
they are going to sockit-tu'm.
At Luxus park the preliminary
game, which will start at 2 p. H.,
will be between the Nourse Oil COM
pany and the Mazdas. The dope favors
the Mazdas, but the oil troupe are LA

South Finishes Strong.

South High wound up in brilliant
fashion after making weak start.
The team possessed infinite material,
but did not come into its own until
after the game with Nebraska City.
Comparative scores give the Packers
leadership of the second division
Harmon's York eleven encountered
injuries from the very start and thus
was prevented from marking up a
good record. If the team had the
schedule to do over again, no doubt
a different tale would be told. Grand
Island started out strong, but lost
pep after two defeats by Lincoln and
Beatrice. The team was a strong one.
Kearney came in strong at the last,
winning decisive victories over Lex
ington and Cozad. A quarantine called
by city officials forbade schedule
games with Aurora, Lincoln and Min
den, which would have been sufficient
to cause the team to find its balance.

can be counted as runner-ups for the
title.
From the very start of the season
Lincoln and Norfolk had wonderfully
constructed teams, heavy, speedy and
possessed of powerful backheld men.
Central and North Platte. on the
other hand, started out with weak
teams, which gradually strengthened
and later became leaders. Beatrice
had fairly powerful eleven, yet the
lack of CONSTANT stellar backheld ma
terial was responsible for the decline
in games with Lincoln and Central.
