London. March z.-Discuss

and that would be the most fearful
crime in history"
The earl of Crawford, chancellor
OF the duchy of Lancaster, replying
for the government, said that the
problem is in the hands of the
supreme economic council at Paris
which has taken steps to send food
to Germany.
"The tonnage demanded from
Germany by the allies has not been
Forthcoming, however" he said, land
this is significant"
He made no attempt to explain
the failure of Germany to turn over
the ships asked for, but said he
hoped that within a few weeks mea.
sures will be taken to stave off the
impending disaster.
Rome, March 1.-The commission
sent by the American peace delega-

AS an instance of the suffering

Council Bluffs, 80; Central, IS.
Playing a rough, ons-sided game
the Council Bluffs High school
basket ball quintet handed the Cen
trail High flippers a neat trouncing,
50 to is, yesterday afternoon on the
local "Y" floor.
Due to the absence of Captain
Logan from center Coach Mulligan
had to shift his lineup. Poor team
work resulted and the Central five
had no chance of victory after the
first half. Leo KoneclIy was given
his first chance at the game this
year, but was knocked on the head
early in the first half and was unable
to play his usual game. Paul kon-
ecky was Central's chief defender.
The early part of the game was
marked by rough playing and close
score. By the end of the first half,
however, the score stood 10 to z, in
favor of the Iowans and the Central
quintet was we'll winded. During
the second half the Bluffs boys
scored almost at will, while Cen
trails only counters were two clever
goals and free toss shot by P.
Konecky.
In the interclass games that pre-
ceded the main event the juniors
blocked the seniors from the cham
pionship after a close game that
ended, 7 to 6. in favor of the third
year men. The sophomores beat
the freshmen, IA TO IL.

Basket Duel Fran Camp

Creighton, 10; Camp Grant, II.
Fouls were not numerous, but
Coach Mills squad won the basket
ball game from the Camp Grant
quintet on the floor of the Creigh-
ton gymnasium last night.
A crowd of 1000 persons watched
Kearney and Mulholland play for
the baskets against Hemsath, giant
Camp Grant center, and Ravennai,
left guard for the soldier squad.
Repeatedly Kearney, the 1.-THE
center, tossed long goals with eff
fective results. Field goals were
nearly as many as the fouls. John
son, left forward for the Camp
Grant warriors, made the first
goal in the first four minutes of
play.
Lutes in Limelight.
Sergeant Lutes, former Creighton
man, right guard with the Illinois
gadgets was prominent in the game
and kept the ball in a rapid state
of eommotion as we'll as several OPP
ponents at times. Delmore, right
forward for the khaki clads, made
fouls with ease. In the second half,
he opened up the Creighton squad
with effective help from Center
Hemsath. Mulholland, Creighton
left guard, worked into perspiration
before the Camp Grant squad got
into action. Kearney took IS
points to his credit out of the total
l9 made by the blue and white step
pers. a
Haley made steller throws at the
basket and played as hard a game
for victory as basket ball fans ever
expect to see. Vandiver skinned the
bark off his knee in the second half
when he was downed by a foul, by
Delmore.
Crowd Cheers Creighton.
The crowd cheered Justify when
the Creighton steppers kept the ball
Ia midair beneath their goal for sew
eTal minutes harassed by certain OPP
ponents of the army team. The
game waxed hot, and it seemed sud
denly that a regiment of Camp
Grant warriors went into action on
the impulse to carry the bali to the
center of the floor, anyway.
The feature of the game was the
cooperative playing of Kearney,
Mulholland and Haley by which
Kearney was able to pull eight
scores by long, clever losses. Lieu
tenant Doneghay, assistant athletic
director of the Camp Grant five,
was kept from the fray only by the
side lines. When he yelled: Fight
'em for scores" his boys went into
action with grim determination.
Tonight, both teams mix again in
1 final contest. Coach Mills is
somewhat worried, however, about
the action his privates will get into.
Summary: Fouls: Creighton, 6;
Camp Grant, 9. Referee: Kline,
Nebraska. Timekeeper: Fay.

An elastic sort of boxing bill is

raised to 20 rounds for a champion
ship scrap. They've been boxing in
Oklahoma all winter and no serious
efforts were made to stop it, so the

of becoming a law. Tex Richard

They've got a bunch of regular
fellows in the Nevada legislature
Governor Boyle vetoed the Is
round boxing bill a few days age
and the legislators came right back
and passed the measure over the
governors veto. 1t was rather I'M
expected in some quarters, for the
bill had not had the necessary two
thirds majority in either house al
the first vote. After it had gone to
the governor and he had put the
"binger" on it, the lawmakers got
mad about it and Immediately pro-
ceeded to show him that they were
going to have boxing there whether
he wanted it or not.
The local wrestling impresario,
Jack Lewis, didn't come back to
Omaha with Ernie Holmes and the
rest of the Omaha party that visit
ed Chicago to see the Stecher-Lewis
match. Jack went on to Springfield,
Mass, to see Lewis hook his head
lock on John Friborg Thursday
night. No one seems to know just
how soon Lewis expects to return,
but it is said that when he does get
back, he will have a corking good
man signed up to go against John
Pesek late this month.
After he had put out all his adj
vertising and made the announce
ment to the newspapers that the
featherweight championship wrest-
ling match would be staged in the
Council Bluffs auditorium on the
evening of March II, the manage
ment of the Auditorium told AL
Fiori, the Bluffs promoter, that there
had been a mistake made and he
couldn't have the hall for the
18th. Al pointed out that he had
laid out considerable money on
tickets and advertising and post
ponement would mean a loss of
money to him and he finally induced
the people behind the Auditorium to
postpone the convention they had
planned for that date. The match
will go on as it was planned on
Wednesday, March IL. Omaha fans
are taking quite an interest in the
match and tickets are selling in
Omaha faster than for any other
Bluffs show.
The Willard faction of sport fans
point out that Jack Dempsey has
never gone over a route and are
hoping that Tex Richard will locate
place for the bout where it can
be staged for 20 rounds or more.
Wizards friends figure that Demp-
sey will not be able to stand the
"gaff" over a long route and Jess
will eventually wear him out, if the
bout doesn't have a sudden ending
before it gets along very far. But
Wizards friends have made a
slight mistake. It is true enough
that Jack hasn't gone over a long
distance lately, but then again, he
hasn't been forced to. He usually
fattened his man before they had
chance to figure on wearing him out.
He has gone over route at least
once. Four or five years ago, when
he was getting a start in the boxing
game, he was matched with fell
low named Andy Malloy for a 20
round bout. The bout went the lin
it, Dempsey winning. so this dis
putes the idea that he has never
travelled the route. It was only
once and a long time ago, but Demp-
sey declared he liked the long dis
lance.
