whom Nebraska can boast. Thirty
years ago a worlds championship
came to this state when Adolph Boyce
won over Charles Moth, the champion
Graeco- Roman wrestler of the world

was then considered rough-and-

mitted in the ring.
Moth, the champion, came west TAX

matched with an UNKNOWN so ad-
vertised, who later was identified as
Adolph Boyce, a local photographer, in
no sense a professional wrestler. Boyce
upset all predictions and won.

NARROWED
Race for State High School
Championship is Being
Drawn Closer.

Mortified, Mimi, March 12.-With
the state high school basketball tour
nament only two weeks distant, the
races in the various districts either
have been settled or are in their final
stage.
Competition for the right to partic-
| ipate in the tournment at Carleton
college, Mortified, March % and a.
has. been keener and has involved
more teams than ever before.
Teams that seemingly are assured OF
places in the big meet include Albert
Lea, Rochester, Willmar and probably
Hibbing. In several districts the re-
suits have been so close that it is i'm
possible to name a winner, and the
outcome will be in doubt until the
last game has been played.
Board Must Act.
Complications in the Hennepin-
Ramsey district have developed the
past week and can be cleared up only
by definite action on the part of the
State High School Athletic associa-
tons executive board, which is con-
Quoting the elimination contest.
1t was pointed out that Humboldt
had played three st. Paul high school
teams not members of the association.
Pending a complaint from some other
association member, however, it is not
expected that the associations board
will take any action. Humboldt's VIC

Albert LEAFS quint is coached by
Blume, former Hamline university

mated.

tourney three times.
Saltwater and Hibbing apparently
have clear leads in their respective
districts. Hibbing has beat out Vir-
ginia, last years district representa-
tive, and Bemidji, for several years
the districts premier Quint.
Rochester clinched its right to play
in the tourney by defeating Red VIM

Play Marks Game.

Fifteen hundred people witnessed the

city championship, and second place
in the state race.
The game started with a rush, and
after three minutes Of play, Hauser
dropped in the first basket, followed
by foul by Thomas. The score was
z to 5 until the last five minutes of
the first half, when both teams took
squirt and the half ended Is to 10 in
A. C.'S favor. The A. G. were shooting
baskets from the center of the floor
with results. Movold shot three bas-
kets from the center in the first half.
Fargo college had a five-men defense
and it was hard for the A. c. to break
through at times. F. c. showed great
team work. The "A. c. had a much
larger team.
The second half opened with a bas-
ket by Hauser, followed by baskets by
MoVold and Peterson "a. c. The
score at this time was A. C. "a; F. G..
10.
The F. C. team took time out. They
then started team work and gradually
crept up on their opponents, Thomas,
F. c., making two baskets, followed
by one basket each by Lane, Keye and
Sim, also three fouls by Keye.
With the score 81 to rs against
them, the F. c. bunch developed great
team work and the A. C. guards could
not cover. With one minute to play,
Thomas, f. G.. center, dropped in a
pretty basket, which defeated the A.
c.
The game ended with Movold try
ing for the needed basket from CEN
ter of the floor.
Sim played his last basketball
game and he certainly was in the
game from the start.
Thomas also played his last bas-
ketbaIl game.

PRISON REFORM URGED.

Trenton, N. i'm a preliminary re-

commission has found IL indictments
against the State prison. These include
poor food failure to observe education-
al requirements Of State law; punishing
prisoners by lodgment in dungeons; vio-
laton of contract labor law and failure
to exercise prisoners in the open air.
1t is stated that convict labor should
not be abolished entirely until provision
has been made for the full operation of
the State-use system, and that employ
ment of prisoners at the prison farm,
on the State roads and on other State
use work be given preference for the
time being over contract labor.
THE commission declares that a pris-
oner suffering with tuberculosis, upon a
sentence of two years or more, is vir-
tually sentenced to death by disease.

PROBES WOULD BE FRUITLESS.

Cleveland, Ohio.-An investigation of
the eight-hour demand of railroad train
service employees, so much desired by
cant strike" advocates, will prove
nothing, says the Railroad Trainman,
official magazine of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen.
The speed basis now is 100 miles for
10 hours and the employees say that
eight hours can be secured If freight
trains are speeded up to 12l miles an
hour.
THE fact that the requested speed
basis is in operation on many lines, "
says the Railroad Trainman, "and ac-
cording to the statements of the west
crn railroads, under oath, that rs per
cent of their through freight business
is carried on at the same speed basis,
answers that contention; while the
earnings of the railroads answer their
inability to pay, Just what can be de-
veloped that already is not known is
not easily realized"

DAMAGE AWARD APPEALED.

Bridgeport, Conn-Machinists' union
has appealed to the State supreme court
from the verdict of the superior court
which awarded damages against its
members of $1,000 to the Max Ans com
pany.
The decision is based on section 1896
of the Connecticut statutes, which pro-
vide that any person who shall threaten
'or use any means calculated or intend
ed to abstain from doing any act which
such person has a legal right to do shall
be fined or imprisoned
Trade unonists are trying to have this
law amended. They show that section
1896 would make the act of unionist
criminal if he dared to argue with a
striltcbrcaker, who has legal right tc
work in struck plant.

to 90 upon the tipplc. After a three
days strike the company withdrew its
order and for the first time in this dis
trict miners have a representative at the
weighing of coal,
