Husker Students

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. l4.-(Special
Telegram. THE University of Ne,
braska students may take specia
train to Ames for the last Missouri
valley game when Nebraska and
Iowa State college clash Saturday
The plans for a special are under
way and will be completed, provid-
ing sufficient number OF students
decide to make the journey.
Each student will be required to
pay but $ll.50 for the round trip
should the special be arranged for.
This may be accomplished should
500 students care to go. 1t is prob
able that Nebraska will also have its
band at Ames while the "Corncobs,
new pep organization at Nebraska,
declare they will attend the game in
full costul C whether they go by
hook or by crook.
Coach (Snap-It-Up) Dawson will
give his Cornhusker crew a light
workout Monday evening to take out
the stiffness which follows the clash
with Kansas, and will then settle the
men down for the hard work pre-
pairing TO meet Ames. The Ne
braska team, while a bit over-con-
tident in their clash with the Jay
hawkers, have had the over-confi-
dence taken out of them and will
probably put a greater amount of
punch into the game against their
ancient rivals at Iowa State this

In the bout coming unde the cap
ton of the -windup, but which
really offers more action than the
usual event, frankie Welch, Chicago
sensation. will endeavor to slumber
Morrie Schlaifcr, Omaha's contribu-
ton to the realm of give and take"
Principals Evenly Matched.
These principals in the double
windup," will enter the ring as
evenly matched as in any card ever
staged here. In fact the fighters pair
off so evenly that there is little bet
ting on the outcome.
Supporters OF Ever Hammer were
willing to wager on HIM giving the
coast champion a new squint at the
frills of fistana until they saw this
seaboard titlc-holder breeze through
about five heats with frankie Welch.
Then they began Furnishing the
eagles.
frankie Welch has proven he is a
demon of speed and that he has a
wicked punch in either mitt. In fact
he is the cleverest little boxer who
has been billed here in many moons.
Schlaifer Pulling New Stuff.
But Morrie Schlaifer is showing
something new in his performances.
He is fighting more under cover. or
rather is not so open, and is jabbng
in new manner. The evolution mi
his ring tactics is due. to his new
manager, Johnny Greedy.
The big nc boys were III toys
yesterday at the Queensbury Athletic
club, but they did not show anything.
Rope skipping, light session with
the punching bag and few rounds
of shadow boxing comprised the
workout.
The battlcrs weighed in at s
o'clock this afternoon and were ex-
amined by DR.. ]. A. Tamiseia, who
put the stamp Of approval on them.
Fighters Make Weight.
Mahoney and Hammer tipped the
beam at 1856 pounds, while Schlaifer
and Welch had an even l40 pounds
of beef to offer.
The preliminaries promise to hold
plenty Of elbow bending science.
Happy Malone. who knocked Phil
Longo, the Dcs Moines pride, into
the land OF the brides, will tryout
his punch on FRANKIE Reagan, Pueblo.
Ray Carter, Sioux City, and
frankie Woods, Omaha, will meet
in the opener at 1873 pounds.
Curly Ullrich, St. Paul, Mimi, will
be the third man in the ring.

San Francisco, Nov. l4.-Base
ball in the Pacific Coast league will
be better than ever before, in the
opinion of Ty Cobb, Detroit man
ager, as result of the decision of
the leagues directors to offer $4,000
bonus to the players on the leading
clubs.
Cobb, who is playing in the Cali
fornia winter league, believes the
bonus plan will make every player
on every team hustle to win and
fight every inch of the way.
The aggressive spirit is what
makes base ball and you will see
plenty of it on the coast next year.
Cobb declared. Ball players need
an incentive and now they have it
