BRANDEIS QUINT
TO PLAY HUSKERS
Local Independent Five Will
Tangle With University at
Lincoln Friday.
PLAY RANGERS NEXT WEEK

The crack BrandeiS basket ball five,
independent champions OF Omaha,
have undertaken difficult task. The
Brandeis are going to try to defeat
the floor quintet of the University Of
Nebraska. The combat will be staged
at Lincoln Friday night
Jake lSaacson, manager OF the
Brandeis, tried to bring the university
team to Omaha, but could not quite
make the grade so he agreed to take
the local hippers to Lincoln.
The Brandeis have two hard games
carded for next week, too. The first
is with the Oklahoma Rangers. This
game will be played at the Omaha
Young Mems Christian association

The Oklahoma Rangers have been
playing basket ball for FIVE years and
they are known all over the country
as one of the classiest cage quintets
in the game. They are just returning
from an extended trip to the Pacific
coast which has been highly success
full from the standpoint of Ranger vic
tories.
Thursday night the Brandeis will
invade Nebraska City for a contest
with the five at that point. The Ne
braska City five is one of the strong
est independent teams in the state
and it is probable that the victor in
this conflict will be able to claim I'M
disputed title to the independent
championship of Nebraska

comes to Omaha for game with the
Brandeis. J
Two trips into Iowa are being plan
ned by Isaacson. One will be an in
vasion of the western part of the state
the last of this month and the other
will be a trip through eastern Iowa

The chances of victory for tie
Brandes over Nebraska were con-
siderably lessoned yesterday when

worker on the suad of late. injured
his leg and probably will be unable to
play
Bob Hager, assistant physical di-
rector at the Young Mems Christian

Danish West Indies Pass
Under Sovereignty of U. S.

Washington. D. C., Jan. 1.-THE
Danish West Indies passed today I'M
der the sovereignty of the United
States. Negotiations continued for
ever half century came to a con-
c'usion with the exchange of ratif-
cations OF the treaty of cession by
Secretary Lansing and Danish Min
'ster Brun,
Formal transfer of the islands, with
the raising of the American flag will
take place as soon as the $250O0,000
purchase price is paid over-some
time within the next ninety days. The
treaty provides that meanwhile the
Danish governor shall continue his
jurisdiction and that a committee of
one Dane and one American shall be
appointed to arrange for further de-
tails. The form of government of the
Islands and their name is now in the
hands OF congress, with some doubt
as to whether they will have civil
governor or be administered as a ma
val base, for which they were bought.

PLESTINA TO MEET
F. BELL TONIGHT
Omaha Fans Will Get First
Opportunity in Year to See
Big Austrian in Action.
REYNOLDS MEETS MILLER

For the first time in over a year
Omaha wrestling fans will have an
opportunity to see Marin Plestina, the
big Omaha Austrian in action in the
squared circle He will wrestle Fred
die Beell, the famous little Wisconsin
wrestler, wso so sensationally star
tied the wrestling world a decade ago
by defeating Frank Gotch and holding
the worlds championship for three
short weeks. The event will take place
at $50 tonight at the Boyd theater.
Omaha graphing fans have been
anxious to see Plestina in action for
some time. The big Austrian made
Omaha his home last spring and all
summer he trained diligently. As soon
as he got in shape he began to hurl
challenges at everybody in sight, in
GLIDING such notables as Stecher,
Lewis, Caddock, Cutler and others.
He didn't get to first base; nobody
seemed to care to take a chance with
him.
Finally, however, Beell offered to
give Plestina a tilt and Plestina
wasted no time in accepting.
Beell arrived in Omaha yesterday
and looks to be in good condition.
He declares he has lost none of his
old-time skill and cunning-that skill
and cunning which so aroused the
enthusiasm of the wrestling fans a
decade ago-and he insists Plestina
will find he has run into a tartar.
And the Omaha fans who remember
Beell agree with him. A decade ago
Beell was a great favorite in Omaha.
He appeared in one of his memorable
bouts with Farmer Burns in this city.
He wrestled number of times here
about the time he won that epoch
making match from Frank Gotch and
held the worlds championship for
three weeks, at the end of which time
Gotch regained his lost laurels. Pies
tina is great wrestler-lack of desire
on the part Of other wrestlers to meet
him has proved that--but Beell will
give him tough run for his money.
Jack Reynolds, the welterweight,
who describes himself as "the wrestler
who claims no title. but will wrestle
any one who does" will tangle with
Joe Miller, the South Side demon, in
preliminary go. Reynolds and Miller
are old-time rivals and they promise
TO put UP a real mill.
