Stiehm is Wrathy
Over Schedule of
A. Big Nine Schools

Ewald o. Stiehm, director of ath-
letics at Indiana. is not pleased over
the Big Nine" foot ball schedule for
1917, and has let it be known he is
looking for suitable schools to meet
to fill out the Indiana schedule for
next season The fact that Coach
Stage of Chicago declined to meet
the Indiana coach on any terms is
being discussed freely at Indiana. Re-
lations with Chicago may not be re-
newed, it is said.
Stiehm asserts he does not intend
to consider games with schools which
will not alternate dates in their re-
spective territories. He may attempt
to get games next year with Mime
sofa at Minneapolis, with an under
standing that in 1918 Minneapolis will
come to Indianapolis to meet the In
diana team. Games with Northwest
ern, Ohio State and Iowa also will be
sought. Coach Stiehm has not an
nounced just where he will look for
suitable teams to play for the remain
der Of the season. An eastern game
may be arranged. however

chased for the Bellevue college gym

paratus is being rapidly pushed.
Workmen arc busy erecting the new

mainder of the equipment will begin.

springboards, parallel and horizontal

WE HEREWITH SUBMIT OUR
ALL-WORLD FOOT BALL

ALL-WOKLD FOOT BALL
ELEVEN FOR 1916,
IT'S A PEACH.
Billy Sunday, right end.
Bill Bryan, left end.
Joe Stecher, right tackle.
Jim O'Shea, left tackle.
Jack curley, right guard.
Ham and Eggs, left guard.
Benny Kauff, center.
Shakespeare, quarterback.
Freddie Welsh, right half.
H. c. L., left half.
Kitty Gordon, full back.
This All-World eleven, we believe,
is the strongest that could be assem-
bled, not even excepting an ALL
Limberger eleven, and we defy Walter
Camp, Wally Eckersall, Cy Sherman,
Sandy Griswold, Ring Lardner or Gus
Tylee to pick one that can touch it.
In making up this All-World eleven
we first selected the ends. Bill Sun
day and Bill Bryan are the logical
men for these positions. In this day
of the open game ability to receive
the forward pass is an essential for
an end. Sunday is without an equal
as reception committee, he's bear
at receiving either trail-hitters or dol
lar bills. All the coach would have to
do is convince him that forward pass
coming toward him consisted of three
trail hitters and six bucks. Bryan is
given the other end, because throwing
the forward pass is as important as
receiving it, Bryan has had lot OF
experience at throwing. He has
thrown it from the White House to
the chautauqua circuit, from Lincoln
to Berlin and back again.
Joe Stecher and Jim O'Shea are the
tackles. Joe has tackled the wrestling
game and matrimony and guy that
will tackle that combination will
tackle anything. Jim O'Shea is also
some tackler. He has tackled trot-
ting and pacing and breaking and
jumping and Jim Ronin and, accord
ing to Fred Myers. before he gets
through will be tackling a milk wagon.
1t is with pride that we point to
our guards, Jack Curley and Ham
and Eggs. Jack Curley has been
guarding Jess Willard for three years
and the wrestling game for ten. No
body has broken through into either
one of them. Ham and Eggs have
withstood onslaughts of appetite and
purse without a culver. This COM
bination. Curley and Ham and Eggs,
could guard anything against any
body.
Benny kauff is put at center. Benny
IS the greatest all-around performer
in captivity, he admits it.
Bill Shakespeare is at quarter. 1t
is the business of the quarter to call
signals so that the opposing team
cannot understand EN-. With Bill
calling the signals the best little

cipher statistician in the world
couldn't unravel EN-
Freddie Welsh is put at right half.
He should make a great open field
runner because of his, ability to es-
cape without being downed. He has
escaped all the lightweight pugs in
the world, their managers, the pro-
motors and the public without being
downed once, and he makes touch
down every time he starts. H. c. l..
is placed at the other half because
of his proven ability to out-distance
any person in the world excepting,
perhaps. the car of Russia and John
D. Rockefeller,
Kitty Gordon is unquestionably the
class at fullback. She has the fullest
back and is willing to- show it-but
no more need be said here.
With Woody Wilson as coach to
keep this tam out of defeat, as he
has the country out of war nothing
could touch it.

Jack Reynolds Has
Grip on Title, But
Will Not Claim It

"A wrestler who claims no title but
is willing to wrestle anyone who
does is the unusual and unique way
lack Reynolds, Omaha's welterweight
champ, describes himself.
Local students of the wrestling
game believe Reynolds is the best
welterweight grappler in the country,
and Reynolds has glowing record
of victories to which they can point
in backing up their belief Reynolds
is fast as lightning, is thorough STU
dent of the game and bars no one
within his immediate weight,
Reynolds, Omahans believe, could
rightfully lay claim to the weller
weight championship of the world.
But what's the use" says Reynolds,
"everybody's claiming championships
nowadays. l don't claim any but I'll
wrestle any man that does"
And a lot of these boys who claim
titles are giving Reynolds wide
berth.
