STRANGER - Ed Lewis
Will Not Retire; Seeks
Return Match With Joe

New York, Nov. 23.-"Strangler"
Ed Lewis, former catch-as-catch-can
champion of the world, has no inten-
ton of quitting the mat. Quite to
the contrary, the Louisville giant is
preparing for strenuous campaign
this season. Moreover, he intends to
challenge Joe Stecher for a return
match at the earliest opportunity and
he believes that he can defeat the
leading exponent of the scissors hold
nine times out of 10 and is willing
to back his opinion with real money,
he says.
Lewis is doing light work in
George Bother's gymnasium on
For!y-second street, playing hand
ball and wrestling with the patrons
of the establishment. Although a
demon in action, Lewis is easy to
maui. In fact, he rather enjoys
scuffling around with any one who
will get on the mat with him.
While watching the STRANGER
wrestle, one marvels at two things
first, how he ever loses match,
and, second, how any one is ever
able to break that murderous head
lock. Lewis explained his famous
hold in detail the other day. When
he gets his opponents head under
his arms, Lewis places his forearm
along the jawbone, and takes a
crushing hold. He then applies
simultaneously sidewise and
upward lifting pressure. The
sidewise pressure almost tears the
jawbone out of its socket, while the
upward lift nearly dislocates the
neck.
Lewis has a series Of matches ar
ranged that will carry him through
Virginia, Kentucky and other points
in the south.

Clyde Smith, former Omaha boy,
and member of Central High
schools foot ball team in 1916, will
play fullback against Creighton at
Creighton field Thanksgiving day
when the South Dakota Aggies lock
horne with the Blue and White.
. Smith is we'll known here. At
Central High school he was popu-
lar both as a foot Ball player and
as student. He was known as one
of the best ends Central ever had.
His tackling was exceptionally good
and his receiving for forward passes
remarkable. Smith also played half
back at times during his term at
Central. .-.
Two years ago he enlisted in the
Canadian army and while overseas
was gassed. On leaving the army
he returned to school taking up his
studies at South Dakota State Agri-
cultural school. According to Coach
c. A. West, Smith is one of the best
ground gamers that the Aggies have.
West says he has two complete
teams, and both teams will be used

BASKET LEAGUE
TO CLOSE SEASON
ON DECEM B Err 7.
Winter Organizations Will Get
Early Start, Due to the
Interest of the.
Players.
BY WILLIAM @. BLOZlES.

Since the preseason basketball
league, that has, during the past
month aroused considerable interest
among the fans and players in the
local cage game at the Young Mems
Christian association is rapidly
nearing an end, plans for the open
ing Of the regular season next
month are already we'll under way.
According to information given
out yesterday by Verne Moore,
chairman of the "Y" basketball
committee, the coming season will
be one of the greatest ever expe-
rienced in the history of the local
association. The leagues will all get
an earlier start this season than in
former years, according TO Moore,
as the players are taking a more
active interest than in the past.
New Players Appear.
During the past weeks more
players, some of whom are making
their initial appearance in the cage
game, have signed up with the
teams of the preseason League, so
as to get in condition for the regu-
lar season. These youngsters have
shown UP splendidly and have been
watched with keen eyes by coaches
and managers of the various teams.
Although the preseason league is
scheduled to close on Thanksgiving
day, the league will not officially
close until December 2, as several
postponed games are still to be
played. The games of October so,
which were called off on account of
the Halloween stunts, will be played
on November 90 and the games of
Thanksgiving day have been post
poned until December 2.
Schedule This Week.
The semi and finals for the cham
pionship of the league will be played
on Tuesday and Thursday, Decem-
Der 9 and II, respectively
Following are the games scheduled
for this week:

THOMPSON GETS
ANOTHER BOUT
IN FULTON, MO.
Local Physical Director to Get
Match With Carter-Win-
ner to Meet Reed in
Return Go.

Fulton, Mo-, Nov. 23.-(Special.)
Walter Thompson, physical di.
rector of Omaha, who bears the dis.
tinction of being the first man to
secure fall against Jake Reed, Full
tons classy mat artist, is to be given
another chance against the local
wrestler, according to a statement
made this week by Reed, Reed threw
Thompson for the last two falls
with the toe hold. Thompson said
after the match that he felt he had
Reed in ticklish position in the
second setto but the men accident
7 ally rolled off the mat. Thompson
believes that he would have secured
the second fall and won the match
but for this break of luck against
him.
Last week Reed took on Lloyd
Carter Of St. Louis, who claimed the
middleweight championship of Mis-
souri, and he also gained the first
fall, but lost the match when Reed
threw him twice in succession. Full
ton wrestling fans say they can not
determine in their own minds which
is the best man, Thompson or Car
ter. and some also believe that either
would have good chance against
Reed in another engagement.
As result negotiations have
been started to bring Thompson and
Carter to this city for a finish bout
and Reed has agreed to meet the
winner, Thompson and Carter both
made hit with local audiences, as
they were by far the best men Reed
has met so far Both fought clearly
and at the end of the contest were
congratulated by some of the best
people of the town who were in at
tendance.
The most ardent followers of
Reed most naturally feel that he
can throw either man again for the
decision but they also agree that
Thompson and Carter are entitled
to another chance, in view of the
excellent showing they made against
Reed. whom Fulton people regard
as the coming champion of his class.
Thompson and Carter both have
had more experience at the wres-,
Ting game than Reed and that
proved decided advantage to them
when they met the local star, Reed
recently spent several weeks in
Omaha, where he took a course of
training under Farmer Burns.

champions. He knew how to fight the
crafty Gibbons. fought him that way and

back on one of the teams.
On comparative scores the Aggies
may be said to have Creighton
slightly bested. North Dakota and
Creighton each beat South Dakota
university, Is to 0 and the Aggies
defeated North Dakota. 9 to 7. The
Aggies beat South Dakota Univer-
sity last Saturday, IA to 0, except
for blocked punt that university

Several Creighton players saw the
Aggie- University contest at Sioux
Falls Saturday. All admit that
whoever wins on Thanksgiving
Day will have to put up a battle"
Recent rains have left Creighton
field in a terrible condition. Every
inch of the surface is rough and in
some places big holes are filled
with water. A corps of workmen
will be put to work on it with
harrows, scarpers and rollers. 1t is
the present plan to have the field
in the best shape it has been this
year for the Turkey Day battle.

RESTRAIN THE DETECTIVES.

For twenty months Vermont has had
a state board of charities and proba-
tion in operation 1t work has been
the oversight of prisoners released from
penal institutions on parole and the
maintenance of dependent and neg
lected children. The report of the
secretary of that board made to the
conference of Vermont social workers
recently held in Montpelier shows what
good work has been accomplished. Mr.,
Jeffrey says that the state has actu-
ally saved $4,000 by letting prison
ers out on parole and probation. That
is, it would have cost the state $50,
900 more to have kept those men con
fined in the penal institutions the full
duration of their sentences This in
dicates that probation is good thing
from the standpoint of economy alone.
Secretary Jeffrey S remarks about
the care Of defective children is a
statement of such sound principles for
charitable work that we repeat them.
lie said:
Public charity which seeks merely to
relieve is self -perpetuating and the
evil grows and increases by itself
alone; for there can be no iustifiable
charity that is not preventive in
quality, and that has not the elimina.
tion of causes for its ultimate object
| Vermont will never solve the depend
cnt child question until we have by
suitable legislation provided for the
care of the Predetermined female OF
child bearing age When Vermont has
taken under her care and super
vision these feeble minded, our effort
is preventive insofar as it guards
the community against the depreda
! tons of its detectives and forestall'
their propagation of children, of whom
we are told that so per cent are sure
to be feeble minded. 1t is an
| swered here, as it is perhaps answered
elsewhere: "But if YOU put hand OF
them what becomes of the unalienabl'
right of the individual2 How can ;
family be rooted ont by main fore,
and its right to life, liberty and TIN
pursuit of happiness abridged?'
tell You that life is like everything els
nowadays, it has to be earned to b
rightfully possessed, and liberty doe
not mean license to raise a large fam
ily of feeble minded and otherwise de
fective children, who are bound to b
a burden, not only to themselves, bu
to the state.
To the legislature is given a tire
mendous task in this declaration,
task that has been eyaded by its pred
ecessors. Further evasion by this bod
will leave on the state an expensiv
and exhausting burden. 1t is hope
the Legislature will rise and perforr
its duty to the normal citizenship Q
