SURE GOVERNOR
FAv0RS BOXING
Nebraska Legislation Will
Legalize Sport Under the
Gans-Melady Bill.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 29.-Like Illinois
and other States, Nebraska expects
to pass a bill legalizing boxing in that
commonwealth. The measure, known
as the Gans-Melady bill. already has
been drafted and prepared for intro
ductiOn at the coming session Of the
Legislature at Lincoln.
According to information from the
corn husking State. the new bill has
far stronger backing than the pre-
viOus measures, which were beaten,
the bill defeated four years ago lack
ing only two votes for passage.
Assured OF the support of the SOL
diers returning from France and the
various army camps throughout the
United States. Melady is confident
that this bill will run the gauntlet of
both houses of the legislature and re-
ceive the approval of the incoming
governor, S. r. McKelvie.
Boxing is an idral sport when
properly supervised by State authori-
ties" says Mr. Melady. THE bill
have drafted will completely do away
with prize fighting. The boxers will
receive remuneration for their activi-
ties. but every phase which has been
Objectionable in the past will be elm
mated. I figure it is almost unnec-
essary to cite the good results TO the
army and navy from boxing
Practically every commander in
the United States fighting forces is
an enthusiastic advocate of the glove
sport. Boxing has been featured in
all army camps and every ship in
the naval service.
The sport was a material help in
the attainment of physical condition,
while it was a builder of fighting
spirit and morale. Hundreds of thou
sands of Americas fighting forces
took to boxing during the war and
every last one of them will come
home an enthusiastic booster for the
glove sport
with the knowledge of the practi-
cal benefits derived from boxing in
the army and navy. anticipate a
new understanding Of boxing on the
part of the public: a sentiment which
will insure favorable action by the
members Of the Legislature"

'ExTREME SPEED
| INJURIES HORSES
Thoroughbreds That Make
Sprint Records Fail to
Win Races Later On.

New York. Dec. 29.-Judging by the
number of new records made on New
York race tracks this year the speed
of the thoroughbred has not yet
reached Its limit. Probably as long as
1t Is possible to improve the tracks
horses will be found able to run faster
than ever before. However, 1t is ap-
parent that the safety limit has been
reached, il not passed.
After the close of last years rae
ing the Saratoga track was srebuilt and
made so fast that almost every day
during the past season new records
were made. AS a result the track su-
perintendents at other courses are
anxious to make their tracks as fast
as the one at SARATOGA.
There Is no doubt that extreme speed
is harmful to the thoroughbred. This
TACT has long been recognized in Eng
land, where endurance is quality
more to be desired than the ability to
sprint. In fact so little attention is
paid to time in England that there is
no official timekeeper
That the safety limit has been
reached was shown by the effect their
i,eSoiu-oiedhlnS performances had
upon a majority of the horses that
hung up new records this year AL
most without exception they afterward
ran far below their normal form and
in some cases they never did recover.
Roamer. whose mile In l:34 As was
the most noted performance of the
year. never recovered his real form
after that terrific burst of speed. AL
though Roamer is horse that thrives
on hard work and can stand twice as
much as the average, the strain upon
him was so great that although he did
not actually break down, he was far
from his real self thereafter.
Jack Hare, Jr., looked like the cham
pion 5-year-old of the year until he
broke a track record at Aqueduct.
running the mile and sixteenth in
l:44 2-5 with 100 pounds in the saddle.
few days after he met War Cloud
and Johren in the Dwyer Stakes. a
race that was TO decide the leader in
the class for the time being. Jack
Hare. Jr., ran below his form and was
easily beaten by War Cloud He never
ran another high-class race and soon
afterward was retired for the season

CORNELL BOOMING SPORTS.
Students Resent Criticism of Ath-
letic Policy During War Period.

Ithaca, y. Y. Dec. Ga few days
ago there was printed a statement to
the effect that pessimism, as to the
future of athletics at Cornell, existed
because of money matters. 1t also
stated that Cornell had been trying to
hide the fact that she had football
team last season.
Even since our entrance into the war
Cornell has been playing the war game
for all it's worth. The college has
given up its best men in all branches
OF athletics. Last spring the authori-
ties of the Cornell Athletic Association
decided that instead OF sending a track
team to the intercollegiates II would
be better to expend the money for
liberty bonds. To show how the stu
dent body was behind the team they
collected enough money in one day
to send the first and even the second
string men to Philadelphia. with the
result that the championship was cas-
lily won.

Loev'. Columbia.

Like a warning from the oppressed
peoples from across the sea comes the
pro sentation Of The Cavel Case" at
Loew's Columbia which will be shown
there through New Years Day.
Surely the message Of this picture Is
to the generous American who -
quickly willing to forget the things
that a few weeks ago we're causing
the patriotic heart to cry FOR jus
tice for the utter defeat OF tho Hun.
The message says DO not forget too
quickly the crimes OF the Hun against
Eumanity-demand such peace that
will make a repetition OF these
crimes impossible"
The film treats OF the entire
life Of Edith CaveIl. devoted 20 the
suffering OF humanity even when love
and happiness could have been hers
without seeking. At the outbreak ~
the war she was directrcSs OF Two
hospitals in Brussels and stayed at
her post OF duty even after the Ger
mans had captured the city. Scenes
in which she refuses to have allied
wounded soldiers removed from the
hospital to acCgmOdate German
wounded and the later showing Of
the allied soldiers in the sick pit
where they have been cast by the
PrUssian order are wonderfully acted.
The American Ambassadors plead
ings for new trial for Edith Cavcn
after she had been accused Of neg
leCtinE German wounded soldiers and
aiding English soldiers TO escape
clearly show the German intention to
be rid Of the English nurse even up
on false evidence. The closing
scene shows a magnificent army "
Britons marching out OF the smoke
OF the shots that made Edith Caycu
a martyr to the cause OF mercy. The
realism of this graphic story Of Mss
Cavelrs life is accomplished through
the exceptional ability Of Julia Arthur.
