State Regents Declare Ne.
braska.0 Oklahoma Game
Here Is Not Contrary to
Valley Ruling.

Omaha foot ball boosters won
their FIVE years fight for Nebraska
university foot ball game in the city
next fall. when members of the uni
versity board of regents at Lincoln
Saturday framed a letter to mem
bers of the Missouri Valley confer
cnee announcing it was their de-
cision to stage a Nebraska Oklaho-
ma game here October Is.
"Our action followed the refusal
of the valley conference to permit a
foot ball game at Omaha" Chan
cellor Avery said yesterday over
long distance telephone. With the
State Medical college situated at
Omaha, we can see nothing con-
trary 10 conference rulings in stag
ing such game"
The, university board will not
necessarily withdraw from the CON
ference, but will await a reply to
the letter sent. 1t is highly proba-
Bile that the conference, realizing the
weight of Nebraska's membership,
will submit. If it refuses to do so
it may mean the cancellation of
games already arranged with Kan
sas, Ames and Missouri schools.
If Nebraska withdraws from the
conference and scheduled games
are cancelled the state school will
probably apply for admission into
the "Big Ten" This would mean
that Omahans would see some of
the best foot ball games of the coun-
try played on the home field.

Dempsey Surprises
Fans, Weighing Self
and Scaling Just 201

Toledo, June 17.-Jack Dempsey
gave his admirers their biggest sur
prise today when he weighed him
self on a set of tested scales ard
tipped the beam at exactly 20l
pounds. Dempsey was clad only in
a swimming suit and boxing shoes.
The challenger's poundage was
considerable of a jolt to admirers
of Willard, who had claimed that
Dempsey's hard work under a
scorching sun would likely burn him
out and put him into the ring
against the champion in the light
heavyweight class, or around 1870
pounds.
Dempsey appeared to be in per-
feet condition. There was not an
ounce of surplus flesh on his body.
Willard boxed II three-minute
rounds today. Joe Chip, a middle
weight of Newcastle. Penn, and a
brother of George Chip, once mid
dleweight champion, joined Will
lard's staff of sparring partners and
furnished the champion with the
most interesting workout of the af-
ternoon
Willard boxed three rounds with
Jack Hempel, two with Chip, three
with Jack Heinen, and three with
Walter Monahan.

In an effort to interest South Side

Eagles gave free smoker last
night. A wrestling match, four
boxing bouts and a battle royal
were offered the prospective mem
bers for entertainment.
The feature event was four
round boxing bout between Harry
Williams, the best heavyweight Ne
braska can boast. and Young Zala-
deck, middleweight boxer of some
ability. Harry had considerable
shade on his opponent, but it was q
fine bout, though neither was try
ing for anything serious.
Another fine exhibition was that
staged by Eddie Gillen and Jimmy
Drexel, a good four-round draw.
They put this bout on at every Ell
tertainment in town, but they al
ways give fine scrap. Kid Schlaf-
er and Soldier Burke of Fort Logan
slammed through four rounds to a
draw. The Hauptman brothers
boxed three-round exhibition,
which was highly entertaining. The
brothers are little fellows about II
years old, but they show real
knowledge of boxing.

But lately it has been a some

The left uppercut differs from the
wonderful right that Willard pos

snappy blow-especially suited for
the inhghting which Dempsey is ex-
