When the voting populace Of this
great and glorious commonwealth
slipped the demon rum a wallop i'll the

Cutting Out The Beache Another Good Way Kill the Old Game
MULLlGAN STARTS
PRACTICE MONDAY
Basket Ball to Get Under Way
at Central High Before the
Holiday Season,
SCHEDULE BEING LINED UP

Altering his former plans, Coach
Mulligan OF Central High will start
basket ball practice at the Young
Mems Christian association gym
nasium on Monday afternoon 1t was
the original intention to wait until
after the holidays. for very few OF
the first team men will be able to
practice during the vacation and this
would ncceSSitatc starting in on pre-
liminary training again after the first
OF the year. But the athletes are get
ting restless and the coach intends to
satisfy them. The first week will be
spent mostly in conditioning the men
and getting some sort OF line on the
material.
Although very few games have
been definitely scheduled so lar, it is
only matter of lifting the games TO
the dates. for plenty of games are in
sight. The first game OF the season
will probably be played January IS
with Creighton, A good trip has been
lined up for February 9 and 10. Boone

the first day and Fort Dodge on the
second Jefferson High school, an
other Iowa team. wants to play Oma-
ha on February s, but it. is thought
that this would be too strenuous a
schedule, making three hard games in
as many nights Two games will be
played with Lincoln. The Sioux City
High school has again changed its
mind and decided to put out a basket
ball team. With the local schedule
so nearly filled, possibly only one
game will be played between thc~two
teams this year.
Play Beatrice Here.
Beatrice High school will be played
here January H. Two games will be
played with St. Joseph, although no
dates have been decided upon. Uni
versity Place will be played here and
also South High. An effort is being
made to schedule some strong Kan
sas team to play on the night follow
ing the St. Joseph game.
Class basket ball will be boosted at
the high school this winter in an ef-
fort TO find more material for the
first and second teams. A schedule is
being arranged and will be started
about the middle of January. Each
team will play the other teams at
least twice and the team having the
highest percentage at the close of the
tournament will be declared the win
ner, doing away with the old elimina-
ton plan. The following class cap
tans have been elected: Dave Noble,
freshmen; Dick Giller. sophomores;
Austin Smith. juniors; Willard Usher,
seniors. C. A. Cairns, R. A. Meyer,
Fred Spinning and ]. A. Bexten will
act as class coaches.

are seeking the services Of the Luxus

said to be new to amateur base ball in
Omaha.
Dcnnison will not admit that he is
dickcring with anybody for team,
but he confesses that he expects to be
manager OF a crew again next year.

ASK HUSKERS TO
QUIT CONFERENCE
Omaha Alumni to Lead Agita-
ton to Have Cornhuskers
Seek Faster Company.
FLAME OF AN OLD SPARK

If Omaha alumni OF the institution
have their way, the University OF Ne
braska's days as a member in good
standing of the we'll known Missouri
valley conference are numbered.
The Omaha alumni are somewhat
peeved at the W. k Missouri valley
conference. They have been irr-
tated, annoyed and vexed and they
mean to have revenge.
The Missouri valley conference is
now composed of Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri, Ames, Drake, Kansas Ag
GIGS and Washington. For some
time Nebraska alumni and Nebraska
foot ball enthusiasts have been more
or less dissatisfied with the valley
conference, Since Nebraskas sue
cess on the gridiron-overlooking the
current year, of course-it has been
more or less generally felt that Ne
braska should be in a little faster
company
As compared with the Cornhusk-
crs, Drake, the Kansas Aggies and
Washington are secondary schools,
There shouldn't be any secondary
schools in a real conference. For
that reason Nebraskans have felt the
Cornhuskcrs should try to get into
the Western conference, or. it they
can't get into the Big Nine. should
at least drop out OF the valley, and
murmurngs of that nature have been
frequently heard during the last
three years.
Omaha to Lead.
Now the matter promises TO conc
10 a head, with Omaha alumni OF Nc
braska leading the agitation.
Refusal Of the conference heads to
grant Nebraska permission to play
one Of its big gridiron games i'll
Omaha is the reason. Stub Hascall,
secretary Of the Omaha alumni, was
sent to the meeting Of the presidents
and chancelors of the valley schools.
Flc presented Omahas request for
game and advanced the arguments.
That was as far as he got.
Thus are the Omaha alumni irrl-
tated, annoyed and vcxed, and they
have decided that it is time for Ne
braska to wake up. The sentiment
is that Nebraska has reached the
stage where to further its own inter-
csts it must break away from such
schools as the Kansas Aggies, Drake
and Washington.
Call Meeting Soon.
a meeting of the alumni will be
called in a few days and this sugges-
ion made. 1t is believed the organ
;zation will take it up without dis
putc and file formal request with
the athletic authorities at the univef-
sity and then begin to promulgate
;hc agitation.
There is little question but what
what Nebraska would have no diff
.uIty in obtaining engagements for
lis athletic teams, foot ball, basket
ball. track, wrestling, gymnastic and
every other line, even though it did
not belong to a conference. There
arc plenty of schools in the country
not members of conferences. There
is Michigan, Notre Dame, Michigan
Aggies and plenty of Others that get
along very nicely booking their
games independently:
The Omaha alumni are determined
to get a big Nebraska game for
Omaha. They probably won't get
one Tor 1917, as most of the Ne
brasha schedule has been made, but
they intend to keep right on plug
ging. and if the Missouri valley con-
ference refuses to listen to reason the
alumni will make war on the confer
cnCc.

Bluffs May Hold
Floor Event Again

The success 'of the district basket
ball tournament held in Council Bluffs
last fall has resulted in a number of
inquiries to the Council Bluffs High
School Athletic association concern
ing possible tournament again this
season. According TO members of the
association there appears to be an ur
gent desire for repetition of the
tournament.
The matter has been taken up in
formally by thc association and it
was said tentative agreement to
hold a district tournament has been
reached and it is expected that at
least as many and perhaps more teams
than competed last year will enter
this years tournament.
Members OF the association believe
that with the high school athletic
competition as keen as it is in this
section there is no doubt but that such
tournament would be success,
Last year the expense OF the teams
entered were paid up to the time
the teams were eliminated, after
which, if they remained they re-
NAMED at their own expense.

Billy Newman Now Takes
Sudden Interest in Carl

New York, Dec. l6.-Frank Moran
had better not take his proposed
match with Carl Morris too seriously,
for Billy Newman, who has con-
tract on the services of the original
white hope, says he will not allow the
battle to take place. Newman's con-
tract still has two years to run, and
although hc has not bothered much
with Morris since the latter left these
parts. he now has determined to en-
force it. This means that Morris must
part with Is per cent of his earnings,
something that he has refused to do

Kentucky Derby to
Be Worth $4,000

Announcement of the new Louis

lucky Derby at Churchill Downs,
May II, will be worth approximately
$4,000, has fixed the eyes of turfmen
upon that event, which is regarded as
race track classic, and is expected
to swell considerably the usual field
of notable contenders.
Previously the Derby has carried
$4,000 in added money, and had a
total value of $4,000. In 1917, &C
'cording to the announcement of the
clubs directors. the added value will
be $4,000. The increase, the an

CHARLIE PETERS
PULLS COMEBACK
Papillion Carpenter Starts
Training After a Long
Stretch in Hospital.
is HEAVIER THAN BEFORE

+ Charlie Peters, who flashed across
the wrestling sky in such a sensa-
tional streak last winter and then
dropped out of sight owing to an ill.,
ness which sent him to the hospital
for long stretch, is going to try a
come back.
After over six months of inactivity,
during which time he lost over thirty
pounds of avoirdupois. Peters has so
recovered his strength that he has
started training again.
Before Peters was i'll he weighed
about 100 pounds. Now he tips the
scales at 202 pounds before work
out. He loses two to three pounds
after a workout of an hour or so, but
gains them back shortly afterward.
The Papillion carpenter seems to be
even stronger than before his illness
and his followers are confident he will
come back as good as ever.
Peters took part in his first work
out the fore part of last week. He
felt SO strong he continued his train
ing every day, He has lost none OF
his old cunning and throws his train
ing partners about the ring with APP
parent ease.
Charlie will continue his workouts
another week or ten days. Then, il
he is satisfied he has regained his
strength, skill and stamina, he will
begin to seek opponents.
Peters was matched to wrestlc Joe
Stecher in Omaha on July IS last.
Just as wrestling fans began to look
forward to this go, Charlie was
stricken with bronchitis, contracted
an absccss and became generally
bunged up with a whole flock OF
troubles and the bout had to be called
off After one or two preliminary
tits Charlie expects to go after
Stecher for another engagement.

Associations of Nebraska this winter.
The first event is the annual state
volley ball tournament, which will be

Hastings, Lincoln, Norfolk, Grand

tourney last year, piling up a total
of 2,lo5 points. Omaha ran close
second with 2,l65 Fremont was third
with 1870, and Lincoln fourth with
1910.
The teams are closely matched, as
the above results of last years
tourney show, and the Omaha "Y''
team has high hopes of wrestling the
title from the Columbus lads. They
are in training already and intend to
continue their practice right up until
the day of the meet,
Volley ball is proving to be a popu-
lar pastime at the Omaha Young
Meu's Christian Association, and
