Charley Black, will leave Friday on

them to ST. Louis for a game with
st. Louis university, Indianapolis

Morgantown, w. Va, for tilt with
West Virginia. The Cornhdskers
conclude their trip at Pittsburgh
against Pittsburgh university.
With the same five regulars who
finished the 192S-29 season slated to
get the call, Nebraska prospects are
bright. The starting five, most likely
to get the call in the games, espe-
cially at Indianapolis next Monday
and at Pittsburgh Jan. 4, are Harvey
Grace and Norris Fisher, forwards :;
Don Maeley, center and Willard
Dutch White and Adolph Lewan-
dowski, guards.
The other five men who also will
make the trip form second team
which is almost as strong as the
first, but lacks experience. These
players are Seldom Davey and Cliff
ford Jensen, forwards; Leonard
Conklin, center, and George Outch)
Roster and Steve Kohuf, guards.
Here Is the Cornhusker schedule on
the trip:

paralyzed. Nine times out of ten,
the man who claims foul and grovels
on the floor with gobs of pain all
over his face, is merely acting the
part. Often he is trying to find an
easy way out after taking a pasting
in the first round. 1t is a pretty
soft way to win a fight.
Five minutes after Scott was
fouled, he ambled out of the ring
on his own power. That indicates
clearly that he would have been
able to carry on had he so desired.
But when Dempsey bent over him,

Both boxers before a bout should
be told their purses will be withheld
if foul is committed. The present
pneumatic protectors used by boxers
are almost foul-proof; it is
almost impossible to injure a
man seriously by an ordinary blow.
There should be an understand
ing that the boxer who. claims foul
is to be paid on the pro-rata basis
for the number of rounds fought.
The money so withheld might
well go to worthy charity. That
would give the customer a break,
too.

ATTHE BOTTOM OF EVERY WORLD WAR

Il see by the papers that Senator
Swanson of Virginia is giving Pres
ident Hoover down the country be-
cause he has postponed the laying
down of three new navy cruisers.
He says the Presidents action is
contrary to law and sets a bad ex-
ample" The speaker was the Bank
Clerk.
"I reckon the Virginia Senator
is lust talking for Buncombe." said
the Soda Jerker. The Norfolk
NAVY Yard is the concern of every
politician in Virginia. If the gov
ernment quit building battleships
the Norfolk Navy Yard would be out
of work. Slack work at the Nor
folk Navy Yard means an mem-
ployment problem in Norfolk ana
every business in Norfolk suffers.
Norfolk voters are urged to insist
that Virginia Senators and Con-
gressmen shall work incessantly for
more ship-building for the Norfolk
Navy Yard. =,
Given their notice between world
disarmament and more business for
the Norfolk Navy Yard, every lano-
lord and store-keeper in Norfolk
and Tidewater Virginia would vote
against world disarmament and for
more battleships.
THAT'S why all movements LOOK
inc toward world peace have such
hard shedding; the steel trust the
nowder trust, the ship yards naval
officers and all Of that element OF
cur civil population bene1ittmg
directly from the prosperity Oh the
manufacturers of armament ana
munitions, are opposed to any let
nm in building battleships. They
don't want peace; they want ousi-
ness. ..s

h,,jlding of more cruisers as a rlght
step in the direction OF bringing

ornaments; but Senator Swanson is
a politician and the politician must
listen to the demands of selfish in
terestS who have more regard for
their present personal welfare than
for the peace of the world and the
ultimate welfare of posterity.
Norfolk is perfectly willing-yea,
eager-for more battleships to be
built if they can be built at Nor
folk; Norfolk doesn't give hang
how much international i'll will Is
engendered or how much the Kel-
logg peace pact is endangered, just
so long as millions are spent in the
construction of battleships at the
Norfolk Navy Yard. And NorfolkS S
attitude is universal. Everybody IN
England who profits from the build
inging of battleships, wants more
battleships. 1t doesn't seem TO
occur to anybody that if so many
millions were not spent for arna-
ments, the same millions would be
spent for more constructive things
and the work of the world would go
on just the same"
"But if we lag behind in the
building of battleships, we will be
outstripped by the other powers"
said the Bank Clerk.
That's exactly what the jingoeS
in every country are arguing" said
the Soda Jerker. IF we're ever 60
ing to get anywhere in the matter
of smaller navies, smaller armies
and the abolition of war, somebody
has got to make first move. PreSi-
dent Hoover has made good move.
At the bottom of every war are self
interests who profit by promoting
the manufacture of ornaments and
munitions"
