Early Call for Basket Ball Ma
teriaI Not Expected, But

With the foot ball schedule at
Central High school completed, all
eyes are now turned toward basket
ball. Coach Harold Mulligan
will not issue an early cali, accord

ers. II, however, Mully calls for
cagemen it will be responded to by
at least Is men. The north gymna-
stun is now in order for practice on
trick plays, but will not be used for
shooting baskets. This is the first
year that Central has had floor to
practice on. The school gym" is
not large enough to accommodate
the crowd which attends the inter
scholastic games.
The Creighton and "Y" floors will
be used for the games. Arrange
ments have already been made for
games with the largest town teams
of Nebraska. Kansas City may issue
a defy to the Central quintet Sioux
City will also meet the Purple and
White FIVE. Coach Milligan has also
arranged to send his cage shooters

Coach Ewald O. Stein, who first

Beckett Will Receive No
Consideration Over Here
Must First Defeat Some of the American Lesser
Lights Before He Can Expect to Be Placed in
Light of Contender for Jack Dempseys Worlds
Title

New York, Nov. 30.-Jack Demp.
sey is reported to have signed tenta-
tive articles of agreement for a 20
round battle with Joe Beckett for
the heavyweight title at New Or
leans March II, but it is decidedly
doubtful whether the men will face
each other in the ring on that date.
Apparently Beckett's consent to
the match has yet to be obtained
and it may prove to be decidedly
difficult matter to get the English
mans signature to set of articles.
As general thing a chance to fight
tor the worlds championship is not
turned down, but there are several
reasons why Beckett should hest
tate.
In the first place there is nothing
to indicate that Beckett would have
a reasonable chance to take away,
anything more than the losers end
OF the purse and the losers end
may not prove to be much of an in
ducement to him.
Must Defeat Frenchman.
Beckett will not get the match
unless he defeats Georges Carpen-
tier and by so doing wins the heavy
weight championship of Europe. If
Beckett comes into that title he will
have an asset that Will, be worth
fortune. He would be able to take
things easy meeting the third and
fourth raters of England and France
tor large purses. Return battles with
Carpenter and Bombardier Wells
and bouts with some of the clumsy
lesser lights would keep him busy
tor a long time to come. SO there
really is no great incentive for him
to come here and take a licking
from the hard-hitting Dempsey.
However, there is a chance that
Beckett will take himself as serious
ly as some of the English boxing
critics do. Australians thought the
late Les Darcy was the greatest
tighter that ever lived after he had
beaten McGoorty, so that Beckett
also may think he accomplished
something noteworthy when he dis
posed of the ancient middleweight
in II rounds.
English ideas of the American
heavyweight situation long have
bordered on the grotesque. Before

series. Many of the impatient ones
left the stands when this reputed
peer of all bowlers opened up with
l69 and came back on the second
with 159 struggling all the time.
1t was in the last game when the
Milwaukee rollers saw they needed
pins for good score and they
stepped out and got them. Smith
and Jones both put on the pref
test exhibition seen during the
tournament. Both strung out
line of five strikes, but in the sixth
frame they failed to collect the
entire count in one hit although
Smiths hit was a perfect one.
Jones blew his spare, while Jim
my was picking his.
FROM then on the latter had the
lead, striking on every hit the rest
of the game. While Smiths spec
tacular finish was the real feature,
Jones played by far the best game
throughout, rolling games of 233,
1872 and 26l for 676 total against
607 by Smith. The low score rolled
by Rodee served to keep the F. G.
Smiths Arcades out of first place.
With Smiths and Jones topnotch
scores, Rodee's total of AL served
as baggage and kept his team in
second place.
The Federal Rubber company
team of Milwaukee rolled into sixth
place with 2767 and the Archer
Tires off Minneapolis wound up in
fifth place with 2779.

DEMPSEY SETS
MINIMUM WAGE
FOR next BOUT
Heavyweight Champion De-
mands 100000 for Contest
With Winner of Beckett
Carpenter Mill.

New York, Nov. 30.-Although
Jack Kearns is accepting no offers
for the pugilistic services of Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion of
the world. kearns has announced to
the promoters of the world the mini
mum wage scale under which Demp-
sey will operate. Kearns does not
threaten that Dempsey will declare
strike unless his terms are met
without arbitration, but Kearns does
make it known that inasmuch as
Jess Willard demanded and received
100000 for bouncing off the floor
several times in one round, Demp-
sey is entitled to at least that much.
"As his late antagonist, Willard.
demanded and received more than
100000 for his part of the prize July
4, there is no reason why Dempsey
should not receive similar financial
recognition the next time he steps
into the ring" is the way Kearns
writes it.
Jack Johnson First.
Jack Johnson was the first heavy
weight to set a price on his ap-
pearance. Or rather Tommy Burns
started the custom when he insisted
that Australian promoters pay him
$4,000 to meet Johnson in title bat
tie. Johnson beat Burns and got
hardly enough to pay his passage
home, but once back in America
Johnson would not talk business
with anyone unless the conversa-
ton started at $4,000. Johnson was
a piker alongside Of Dempsey.
Only few years ago the demands
of Kearns would have been laughed
at. Now it seems promoters take
the heavyweight and his manager
seriously and are ready not only to
advance the minimum demanded,
but are falling over each other with
higher bids. Kearns AYERS that
Dempsey already has been offered
considerably more than the stated
price and reserves the right to make
the best arrangements possible
when the time comes for him to
sign articles.
Fought Way to Top.
Dempsey fought his way to the
top. He never avoided any one"
writes Kearns. ''He has been pro-
claimed Americas greatest cham
pion. He is ready to defend that
title when given reasonable notice.
