New Horseshoe Champs
Earn Title in Tourney
Held at Bla;;~ ,unday

After holdinr championship
of Nebraska abA two months,
Omaha and Blah horseshoe pitchers
were classed with the 'has beens,"
following the Nebraska-Iowa cham
pionship tournament at Blair last
Sunday. The dual title. however,
remains with Nebraska players.
]. P. Knudsen of Kennard carried
home the singles trophy after one
of the most hotly contested series
of games ever seen in the state. He
became a favorite early in the tour
ney by defeating Butch" Cook, the
title holder. He contested in the
finals with Colgan of Herman. who
made him exert himself to the limit
to carry home the title.
In winning the event Knudson
was forced to defeat such stars of
the game as Butch" Cook of Blair,
r. S. Slayder, Ringer" Pierce OF
Elk City, Jeff Vaughn of Herman
and Colgan.
The interest was not evident in
the doubles that was shown in the
singles. Slader Brothers started out
fast and apparently were in line to
cop the doubles title. They were
unable to play in the final round and
the title went to Colgan and Vaughn
of Herman, who came up from the
lower section.
Francis and Cowger of Omaha,
former doubles champions of Ne
braska, were not up to their usual
form and lost out in the first round
They had worked all night and were
forced to enter the meet without
any preliminary practice, arriving>at
Blair late. Other Omaha players
did not attend the tourney.
Seventy men participated in the
contest and more than 500 spec
tators were present. The match
was Red Cross benefit and $5l was
presented to the Washington county
chapter.
Henderson, Iowa players an
nounced that they would hold ar
open tourney September %. This
