Basket Ball Holds Full
Sway Now at Bellevue

Basket ball routine, with its grind
of daily practice and training, has at
last got under way at Bellevue. Regu-
lar basket ball practice has had a
rather late start at the suburban COL
lege because of the Interruptions Incl
dent to installing the new gymnasium
equipment The interclass tournament
is at last out Of the-w way, with the
juniors winners of the banner.
This same junior class will probably
land three out of the five varsity
places on this years five Captain Al
len is slated for one of the forward
positions, with Chick Evans as his
probable running mate. Picotte is an
other junior who looks like a varsity
man. He probably will go to center.
Racely of the senior class and Erwin,
a sophomore, look like the selections
for the guards. In addition there are
kinnier, Johns and Stewart of last
years FIVE, who will furnish zest in
the race for varsity honors.
The freshman class at Bellevue con-
tains more basket ball material this
year than has any entering class for
years.
Coach Benjamin will start his men
right out on their schedule. Games
with Creighton, Cotner, Doane, Wes-
leyan and probably the University OF
Omaha are booked.

CREIGHTON QUIN7
CARDS FOUR TRIPS
Mills Men to- Invade Wyoming,
Iowa, South Dakota and
Kansas for Games.
YORK AND WESLEYAN HERE

Four trips into the land of the
enemy have been arranged for the
Creighton university basket ball
quintet. .4
One OF the trips will carry Mills
flippers as far west as Laramie, Wyo.,
The University of Wyoming will be
played at that point. On the journey
out the local floor athletes will stop
at Central City and Kearney for con-
hicts with the colleges at those cities,
and they may play Denver at Dem
YER
A trip north to Sioux City and
Vermilion, S. D., will be made, games
with Trinity college and the Univer-
sity Of South Dakota being carded
The Creighton basketeers will also
go to St, Mary's, Kan, for two games
with St. Mary's college, and to Des
Moines for combat with the Drake
university quintet
The long trip east which Mills had
originally planned for his basket
shooters has been called off. Mills
planned to take his crew as far east
as South Bend. Ind, and intended to
remain away for at least two weeks.
Inability Of the athletes to remain out
of school that long made it necessary
to call this trip off and substitute the
four shorter trips, which will total as
much if not more mileage and will
not neccssitatc loss of much time in
the class rooms.
South Dakota and Drake are two of
the big teams which will come to
Omaha for games with Creighton.
Drake will play here March 3. South
Dakota will be here some time in
February
The Creighton tossers have two
hard games ahead of them this week.
York and Nebraska Wesleyan will in
wade this city to combat with Mills
cage charges. Work will play Creigh-
ton at the Creighton gym next Fri
day night. and Wesleyan will be the
at the same place Saturday
night. If Creighton can wallop both
of these quintets it will cinch the
championship Of the state, as Wes-
leyan is expected to trim Nebraska

SIX GRID GAMES
SIGNED BY MILLS
st. Louis, North Dakota and
Haskell Indians Among the
Schools Scheduled. =
ALL TO BE HELD IN OMAHA

Negotiations for six gridiron con-
ficts for the Creighton foot ball
eleven this coming fall have been
completed, by Coach Tommy Mills.
The schedule is as follows:
Trinity college at Omaha. October 6.
Dubuque college at Omaha, October 20.
Cotner college at Omaha, October 20,
st. Louis university at Omaha, Novem-
Der g.
North Dakota at Omaha, November 10.
Haskell Indians at Omaha, November IL.
Three other games are yet to be
arranged, the plan being TO have a
nine-game schedule. Negotiations
have been practically completed for a
game with Wyoming university, but
the date has not been decided yet,
Wyoming wants to play here Thanks
giving day, but Mills is reluctant to
award this date. Mills is also after a
game with Nebraska Wesleyan and
hopes to have South Dakota remain
on the schedule.
All of the six games so far signed
will be played on Creighton field.
Trinity college of Sioux City will be
the first opponent, followed by Du-
buque college, which held Creighton
to to tie at Dubuque last year.
St. Louis university comes to
Omaha November 3. Creighton wal
loped St. Louis at the Mound City
last year. 1t has been five years
since St. Louis eleven journeyed to
Omaha.
North Dakota is a new conner to
Omaha. The Flicktails had strong
team last year, even stronger than
South Dakota, and they arc expected
to make one of the most interesting
conflicts of the season when they
clash with Mills warriors on No
vember TO-
Creighton did not play the Haskell
Indians last fall, but games with the
redskins were annual events in pre-
vious years. The Indians wanted to
be placed on the blue and white
schedule again and as they have al
ways played good foot ball, Mills was
willing 10 give them the November
II date

OMAHA REFUSES TO
LEAD OUTLAW LOOP
Local Officials Do Not Favor
Starting Middle West Anna
teur Association.
OMAHA WOULD BE GOAT

The Omaha Amateur Base Ball as
ISOLATION will not assume the leader
ship in the agitation to form mid
dle-west amateur base ball associa
ton.
The Des Moines and Lincoln anna
teur associations and number o.
local sandlot enthusiasts have urgec
officials of the Omaha association tc
start movement for the organiza.
ton of the middle-west circuit com.
prised of cities between St. Louis
and Duluth and west of the Missis-
sippi river. The desire for this indie
pendent organization is the result OF
the far from satisfactory finishes oil
the two national organizations last
year.
President Isaacson OF the local as
ISOLATION, however, does not believe
it would be good policy for Omaha
to assume leadership in such a move
ment. He has conferred with other
officials of the local sandlot body and
they have agreed with him.
"1f Omaha were to take the leader
ship and form a middle west associa
ton" declared Isaacson, 81 have no
doubt its formation would be sue
cessful. | believe we could get ten
or dozen, perhaps fifteen, cities to
join.
Omaha Would Be Goat.
But Omaha would be the goat.
The new association would cncoun-
ter nothing but trouble during the
first year of its organization at least.
Everybody would have a grievance
because it takes time to adjust things.
And everybody would blame Omaha
and insist Omaha was getting all the
gravy. That's what happened to
Cleveland and Indianapolis last year.
an addition am convinced, and
the other local officials express the
same sentiments. that the national
association has learned its lesson.
The hivver finish last year will not
occur again. President Goss OF the
national association is a smart base
ball man; he knows now the mis-
takes he made last year And | be-
licve everything will be clear sailing
in the national body this year.
For that reason | believe we
would be foolish to undertake the or
ganization Jof a middlc-west associa-
ton, because VIC would get nothing
but abuse if we should run into a
few tribulations, while the national
association would be running
smoothly"

Georgetown Will Have
Exendine Back AGAIN

Albert A. Exendine, that cunning
Indian and great foot ball coach, has
signed contract to handle the
Georgetown gridironers in 1917
Wonderful advancement has been
made By the Georgetown team since
EXC" took hold of the rcins.
Charley Cox, graduate manager,
and the Indian finally came to terms,
and it is said that Extending will re-
ceive good increase in Salary.
Excndine probably is the best
coach that Georgetown ever had.
During the last two years George
town, under the tutelage of Exendine,
has scored $50 points.

John 0lin Coming
West, But He Won't
Visit This State

John DIN, Finnish wrestling party
who suddenly attained proniinenee
when referee awarded him de-
cision over Joe Stecher at Spring
field, Mass, is westward, bound. Mr.,
Olin evidently has visions OF collect
ing few western dollars on the
strength Of his performance against
Stecher. }&-3. III l
DIN is scheduled to wrestle in Chi
cago some day this week. Renato
Gardini, Chicago Italian, will be his
opponent. The Finn is also said I'd
have several other Chicago engage
ments. .a..e,, ttE
THE conqueror OF Joe Stechcr," as
Olin's press agent delights to call
him, may get by in the Windy City,
but there is little likelihood that he
will be so careless as to venture as
far west as Omaha. Olin, it has beer
discovered, is managed by Lundin, tho
gent who brought Harold Christensen
out here to be dumped by Stecher al
the Tractor show, and went homo
yelling bloody murder. He didn't even
stop to take Christensen home with
him. .''
When news of the Stecher-O dim
match was heard in Omaha Marin|
Plestina offered to give the Finn 81 900
for match, but the crafty Lundinl
couldn't see it. He didn't want his
pet Finn to take any chances with
Plestina. Also there is little probaI
bility that Lundin would bring Olin|
to Nebraska because Stecher lives id
Nebraska and Nebraska is somewhat
different from Springfield 1t might
also be said Nebraska referees ard
somewhat different from Massachu1|

greatest man who ever stepped
into base ball was Jim Gaffney,
formerly owner of the Braves.
Gaffney is the man who paid Evers
$4,000 for signing a contract with
the Braves. Evers had lost all of
his base bail earnings in shoe
