THE COURAGE OF BILL MURRAY

Very few men in politics have the
ray has demonstrated that he possess
es in sending letter to the press
criticizing Governor Williams for
meddling with the state schools of
Oklahoma, There are two things in
Oklahoma that are very near the
heart of Bill Murray one is the
constitution, which he helped to
write, and the other is the schools
of the state which he helped to es-
tablish while he was member of
the legislature.
Bill Murray was reared without
school opportunities, and such men
realize the need of educational insti-
tutions more than the men who have
ges. While Murray is one of the best
read men in the state, he worked at
home without an instructor, and he Is
always student He determined not
to take part in state political fights,
!but when Charles w. Briles was GUST
ed from the East Central Normal
without cause and for political pur-
poses, Bill Murray could not resist
making protest. Incorporated in
that protest is remedy which he
recommends and which may possess
merit.
But the interesting feature of the
Murray letter is the fact that he has
waded in where he will receive the
opposition of Governor Williams for
reelection 1t is more than probable
that every ounce of weight that the
governor can control will be thrown
against Murray for reelection. Muir
ray expects that, and he is ready to
defend hiS own course, and the con-
gressional' race in the fourth district
will be the most interesting congress
ional race in the state this summer.
Bill Murray may have used bad politi.
cal Judgment, but his courage must
be admired. His respect for the
educational interests of the state must
be respected. whether Bill Murray
is personally liked or not.
Judge McKeown of Ada and Smith
of Shawnee are in the race against
Murray. While the personal likes of
Governor Williams are not known to
us. it is Most probable that the gov
ernor will throw his influence to
Judge McKeown, he will have his
friends try to get out of the race in
order that Murray may have a single
handed fight 1t is generally con-
ceded in politics that the greater the
number of opponents an incumbent
has, the greater are his chances for
election, and the first move there
will most probably be to get one of
the men out of the race.
The race in the fourth district will
not be barren of results throughout
the country. If Murray were to lose,
II would serve to intimidate congress
men from other states and prevent
them from taking part in state poll
tics. but If he wins it will embolden
them and encourage them in becom-
ing more active in affairs that affect
their own states.

WESTERN LEAGUE
GETS A CALLDOWN
National Commission Orders
Unwritten Rule of League
Must Be Rescinded.
FOLLOWS KANE COMPLAINT

The Western league has received a
sharp calldown from the National
commission as the result OF an appeal
made to the commission by Jimmy
Kane, former Omaha and Sioux City
first baseman.
On May 4 last Kane was uncondi-
tionally released by Sioux City. Ten
days later he was informed by Presi-
dent Ebright of Wichita that if he
could obtain the permission of Sioux
City, the Wichita club would sign
him. Kane subsequently came to
terms with Wichita and reported on
June II.
Kane filed complaint with the
national board, the arbitration body
OF the minor leagues, contending that
he was barred from employment with
the Wichita club from the time of his
release and the date he reported to
Wichita because OF legislation by the
Western league prohibiting its clubs
from taking into service a player
within sixty days of his unconditional
release by member OF the league.
The national board found against
Kane. The board declared evidence
of Kane's contention OF the operation
of such rule was insufficient, and
President Zehrung denied knowledge
of such rule.
@ Appeals Decision.
But Jimmy appealed the decision Of
the board to the National commits
sion, the high court of base ball. And
the commission returned decision in
favor of Jimmy and allowed him sal
airy claims asked.
The commission declared its inves-
LEGATIONS uncovered such a working
agreement in the Western league. 1t
says gentleman's agreement existed
barring players who are uncondition-
ally released by one club from sign
ing with another club for sixty days
unless the waiver price of $400 is
paid to the releasing club.
The commission accordingly re-,
versed the decision of the national
board and granted Kane salary claims
against Sioux City from May 9 to
July H. He was also granted five
days salary from Wichita.
The National commission followed
this decision by serving official no.
tice on the Western league that the
gentleman's agreement must be re-
scinded at once "The commission
will not permit such a practice, so un
just and repressive of the privileges
of released players to secure employ
ment wherever they can obtain it,
to remain effective in major or mi
nor league" was the decision Of the
commission,

Harvard to Practice
BY Aid Of Arc Liqhts

Boston, Mass, Sept. 9.--The Har-
ward foot ball system, already one
OF the most efficient organizations in
the college world, is calling upon sci
ence to make the work on the gridiron
even more efficient. The Athletic rs 4
sociation is considering lighting the
stadium SO that practice can be held
at any time during the afternoon or
evening and thus do away with the
Inconvenience occasioned by the ap-
proach Of darkness early in the after
noon, which seriously hampers the
practice late in the fall
The preliminary estimate calls for
lamps supplied with strong projectors.
They will be placed At the top Of the
stadium, ninety feet above the ground
and 200 feet from the center Of the
field. II is estimated that the intensity
Of the lamps will aggregate approxi-
mately 100000 candle-power. The
lamps will be so arranged that the en-
tire field Of play will be lighted well
enough to play upon.

PROSPECT BRIGHT
AT CENTRAL HIGH
More Than 160 Candidates for
Gridiron Grew Report to
Coach Mulligan.
SEVERAL VETERANS BACK

Central High seems to be in for a
banner season, il pep" and enthusi-
asm count for anything. All OF the
old men that have returned to school
want to get into their togs and down
to real work as soon as possible,
More than the usual number of husk-
les have entered school this year, and
some keen competition is expected
for every position on the squad.
AT called meeting Friday after
noon, held at the high school, OF all
boys interested in foot ball, more
than $50 responded. The squad that
will turn out the first OF the week is
expected to be the largest in recent
years, for few of those at the meet
ing were there out OF curiosity alone.
Coach NJ, igan seemed to be as
enthusiastic as any one present, al
though, with six regulars gone from
the last year lineup and most Of the
Grst-string substitutes, he might be
rather dubious about the chances for
this year. But the players he has left
over from the squad of last year he
knows thoroughly, and can spend h;s
time in plugging up the holes rather
than being compelled TO construct an
entire new team. as was the case last
year.
Logan In Texas.
Captain Chuck" Morearty is the
veteran left ID the back6eld, He
played a great game at halfback last
year, and with his added experience
should prove a valuable man this
year. "Turk" Logan, who had been
counted upon to hold down the other
halfback position, is now doing duty
for Uncle Sam on the Mexican bor-
der, with little prospect OF getting
back to school in the near future. The
loss of Logan is a blow to the team.
for he was hard and earnest worker
at all times, besides being foot ball
player of first-rate ability.

one OF the tackles will not be we'll

The two regular ends OF last years

Paynter and Krogh are the linemen

these men and they should be con-
sidcrably improved Many candi-

the new students, and no great diff
Guilty Is expected here. Shepherd and
Harper, members Of the second team
last season, are also likely-looking
candidates for line positions.
Quarter Job Open.
Filling the quarterback position
will be the biggest problem, Chick
Neville, quarterback last year, and
"Clayt" Nichols, his undcrstudy when
not playing at end, were both lost by
graduation. Fuzzy Macfarland,
quarter on the second team, did not
return to school. A new quarter will
have to be developed from the new
men.
"Babe" Alwine, OF amateur foot ball
fame, has enrolled in the high school,
and is being counted upon to play one
of the backtield positions.
Ten games are on the schedule for
this year. Five games will be played
away from home, the remaining hve
on the local field,
The FIRST game will be played with
the High School OF Commerce on
either the twenty-third or the thir-
tieth of this month, the date to be
decided upon later. The second game
will be played on the seventh Of Oc-
tober, probably with South High. al
though the final arrangements have
not been made. Council Bluffs High
will be played on their own grounds
on October IA.
Make Trip to Norfolk.
The first game away from home
will be played against Norfolk High,
Norfolk had a strong team last year
and Omaha succeeded in defeating
them on the local grounds only after
a hard fight Omaha will entertain
York High on the local grounds on
October 28, Beatrice High will be
played at Beatrice on November 5,
and Lincoln High at Lincoln on No
