1t was stated long since by Di-
rector Of Athletics James T. Lees
Of the State university that Nebras-
ka would never re-enter the Mis-
souri, Valley conference so long as
that conference permitted itself to
be led by "prejudiced, biased, mar
row men," In the same breath DR..
Lees intimated that Nebraska was
angling for place in the western
conference.

the Huskers, even in desperate

be the policy of the state institution

Unable. Here are some Of his stunts,
vastly different from those of other
bowlers. He stands at the foul line,
taking but one step when delivering
the ball, he rolls either a hook, or a
'backup, and mixes them up, it de-
pending on the alley upon which he
is rolling, shoots nearly as we'll with
his left hand as with his right, and
often in regular match will throw
an occasional ball this way. Is a
master of the. old European style
OF throwing the ball, that is, he can
palm the ball instead of using the
finger holes and do it with the same
accuracy. He has wonderful
keenness for play on strange al
leys. He toured the United States,
rolling exhibition matches with
Jimmy Smith. He is a gentleman,
and friend of all his associates in
his worldwide acquaintstce with
bowlers. Shoots for big stakes, but
enjoys the game just as we'll if it
is for coffee and doughnuts. Geng-
Ter is also wonderful billiard play
er and just as artistic and eccentric
in this game as in bowling. Shoots
the ball with his hand and puts the
English on with his nimble fin
gers. Last, but not least. he was a
citizen of Omaha for two weeks,
shortly after commencing his
bowling career in the United States,
is known by and has many friends
among Omaha bowlers. He rolls
here with the Imperial Leather Co.
of Chicago, on Saturday and Sun
day, November % and %. Anyone
interested in bowling, who misses
seeing this wizard perform, would
miss his own funeral.

BY KARL LEE.

OF the four Of FIVE important vic
tories won by foot ball elevens in
various sections of the United
States during the season just
passed, the Nebraska victory over
Syracuse at Lincoln Thursday ranks
among the first.
Coach Henry Schultz, entering
the national arena dark horse"
amongbig college mentors, in send
ing his team to win over the east
ern champions, gained prominence
for himself and the Husker institu-
|, ton that will not soon be forgot
ten.
,, East Against West.
The defeat OF the New Workers
! was decisive There can be no
doubt that Head Coach Buck
O'Neill had his men, in his own
mind, in top form, confident that
they would SHOW up the west. In
a word the clash was one OF east
ern foot ball against western foot
ball.
Four remarkable developments
featured the Husker- Orange game.
These are:
/. The powerful Syracuse back
field, with its "all-American" for
ward wall, was never able to pene-
trate beyond,,the Nebraska 24-yard
line.
2. Captain Paul Dobson, in east
ern circles and particularly in the
notebook of "Sir Walter" Camp, an
unknown, easily outpunted Ackley,
premier punter Of the east, by eight
yards per punt.
3. Syracuse was unable to cross
the goal line of an opponent for
the first time this season. whereas
the Husker backs smashed through
to a touchdown which was disal-
lowed on a technicality.
4. The forward passing game Of
the New York team, which gained
the fasteners their most notable
victories over Colgate and Brown
and is truly representative of east
ern foot ball as compared to west
ern, was impotent throughout.
West on Par With East.
1t is to be admitted, then, in the
light of these facts, that western
foot ball, despite the many reverses
OF the season, is on a par with that
Of the. east. At this moment it is
interesting to note that Notre Dame
university, distinctly western team,
is the only major team to pass
through the season indicated.
Nebraska, in the second game of
the season, fought DOC" Williams
University of Minnesota eleven to a
6-too tie. Those who saw the game
among the northern states own fol-
lowers admitted that the Huskers
were superior to the Williams COM
bination And Minnesota has since
defeated Wisconsin and Michigan,
leaders in the western conference.
Illinois, a team that barely de-
feated Iowa on a Auke play-an
onside kick-hnally won the cham
pionship by decisively defeating
Ohio State, captained by "Chick"
Harley the versatile and brilliant
halfback.

MELADY REPLIES
TO JACK CURLEY
ON MAT TITLE
Caddock's Manager Declares
Earl Never Retired and Gave
Out No Statement to
That Effect.

After reading Jack Curley's story
i of why Joe Stecher is the real
heavyweight wrestling champion
Gene Melady. Caddock's manager
issued the following reply:
Jack Curley makes the statement
and circulates it throughout the
country that, in his opinion. Joe
Stecher is the champion wrestler OF
the world, and while Mr.. Curley is
considered great authority on
sports in general, he certainly has
made the blunder Of his life in at
tempting Ito pronounce Stecher the
worlds champion when no one
knows better than himself that Cad
dock is the real champion heavy
weight, wrestler of the world and
has never made all announcement to
the effect that he had retired from
the game.
Certainly Curley must know that
L is not in his power to proclaim
4 any man he sees fit champion. The
championship crown must be
achieved by an athlete and cannot
be wished upon him. Mr.. Curley
admits that Joe Stecher was the real
champion Of the world when he
wrestled Earl Caddock in Omaha
April g. 1917. He does not say very
much about what happened at that
match, but 1000 Omaha fans can
verify the fact that Caddock threw
Stecher two falls out of three. even
though one fall was not allowed by
the referee, and in acknowledge
ment Of his defeat Joe Stecher re-
fused to come back and take a
chance with the wrestling marvel of
the world-Caddock.
Doesn't Dispute Title.
Never has Steches at any time
or place tried to discredit Caddocks
right to the championship. Joe
Stccher is too thoroughly the sport
to make such claim, and why Cur
ley should try to make this claim
for Stecher, is hard for me to fig
ure out.
"Curley goes into detail with re-
gard to how championships were
handed back and forth in days gone
by, but we are now in a new era of
sports. on a cleaner, more level
plane than ever before in the history
of the game, and it is ridiculous for
anyone to attempt to dethrone the
champion of the world by such
statements as he is circulating.
"In conclusion of his statement,
Cer!cy says that if Stecher were to
wrcstle Caddock, the announcer
would be forced to introduce Stecher
as The champion and Caddock as the
challenger, and il an announcer at
tempted this in the middle west. he
would be shot at sunrise. 1t seems
queer that Mr.. Csftley never circu-
lated any claim in behalf OF Stecher
until The learned short time ago
that Earl Caddock was now in the
best form of his life and ready to
start wrestling. 1t seems the an.
nouncement that Caddock would
take on all legitimate co"'enders for
the championship CROW has put
some awful fear into Cui sy's heart,
and without doubt he is anxious to
discredit Caddock so that Joe Stech-
er will not have to wrestle him. as
he ',noYs when they meet, that
Cadcock will dump him, and do it
quicker than he did in 1917.
"Caddock has wrestled every
wrestler of note in America today
and has never lost a match. Can
Joe Stecher, or any other wrestler
living make the same claim? Even
Jack Curley will have to acknowl-
edge this"

Jimmy Drexel Coming
Back, Scores Victory
Over "Bat'' Shayer

A wire received from Walthill.
Neb., states that Jimmy Drexel
made good in his initial comeback
battle, dealing out a tasty lacing to
Battling Strayer in a l0-round bout.
A right-cross to the chin put Stray
er down for a nine count in the sec
end round, but the "Battler" stalled
through to the bell and succeeded
in staying the limit, though he was
croggy at the final bell. Drexel
was given the decision by the ref
cree.
Drexers next bout will probably
be with Billy Whelan Of St. Paul,
Tommy O'Brien, the Pacific coast
champion or return go with

Midwest Bowling {. J. p Gain

Nothing big is ever. done In the
game without first getting the grand
old mans opinion, and his opinion is
always good one. None other has
done more for the game than he.
Another distinction he somewhat en-
joys is the fact that he has attended
every tournament for years and has
never won a medal, although he is
good bowler. All his former
teammates are wearing huge strings
OF hardware, but Dave never hap
pened to be in with them when they
won them.
Today the big birds arrive. Be on
hand to watch them fly. No better
flock of stars ever has been seen to-
gether at one time. Thirteen Chi
cago, three Milwaukee, four Kansas
City, three Minneapolis and one To-
ledo teams are on the schedule. All
are. crack squads.
Nick Bruck will claim the heavy
weight championship of the tourna-
ment. Nick's waist is about SO
inches, his genial smile about foot
wide. his following of friends and
admirers reaches around the world
and he throws the ball inile min
ute. If you care to-know any more
good things about him ask any
bowler and you're engaged for the
day.
Another big man in the game who
is with us today is Matt Blan OF Mil
Waukee. He is booster of the Mid
dlewest association, holding an Of
fee in it. He learned long since
what this association is and saw to
it that Milwaukee was one of its
strongholds.
The Bowlers Journal team, roll
ing today, is the crack organization
which won the championship in the
tournament held here in 1915.
Baumgarten, rolling with them, is
the present international champion,
which he won at St. Paul last Feb
ruary. Sindelar is the all-event
champion of the Illinois Bowling
association. Lempuhl is the pres
emit individual champion o. the Chi
cago Bowling association, which
won by rolling 737, the highest total
ever rolled in a large tournament.
Ehlman is the crack left-hander,
considered by many to be the best
portsider in the game. With Al Lea,
he won the two-men championship
of the Middle West association in
St. Louis in 1916. They have
trained pig for a mascot, which
they take to all tournaments. She
bowls under the name of Gene
We've and is the only pig that is al
lowed to ride in Pullman cars.
Frank Kafora, the ex-Rourke
catcher, rolls this evening. He is
one of Chicago's best pingetters, at
one time winning three first-place
medals in one tournament. the only
bowler that accomplished such a
feat. Frank has better control on
the alleys than he had pegging them
to second, when he was catching
for Pas Sterlings.
The Commodore Barrys, rolling
tonight, were twice worlds cham
pions, the only team ever known to
come right back and repeat the next
season in the worlds a. B. c. cham
pionship contests. They roll to-
night at 7:l5 p. m.
