When Drake comes here for, two games next Friday and Saturday, the local five will be able to tell how It is to come out in the race, If two gqmes can be won from the Des Moines school the Cornhuskers will be placed with half of the series to thelr side and they will .have to be defeated In all four games that will be played In re- turn at Ames and Drake In order to be thrown out of the race. The two games | with Drake here this week and one with | mach Ames and Drake on the return would assure the local five of the title again this winter and give it a chance to meet the southern champions for the val- ley prize, In local circles, however, Drake Is thought to be a stiffer proposition than the Amed Aggles proved, and the Corn- hibkers ‘458 likely to h & hard time taking two gomes fromi the Des Moines players at the end of this week. Ames was a much better aggrégation.than the five that represented that school last win- d nearly handed the Cornhuskers two . defeats. Only brilllant playlng at -the closing of each game allowed the Ne- ke quintet to nose out victory. “With the end of examination week will come the inauguration of training for the indoor track meets, of which there will be three, The first contest is “scheduled for February § between the fraternities, On February 11 the “barbs” will hold thelr meet to select men for the clash with the fraternity men on Charter day, Febru- ary 16 Last winter the non-fraternity men won the annual meet by a small' mar- €I, This year their chances of repeating the performance are good.

Dr, Clapp, who has charge of the track men now, says there are more men doing Indoor ymnasium track work this winter than he has ever seen here before.

FINAL SOORE STANDS 20 TO 27 Tow S0 Strong that Substie tutes Were Used to Win Out In Basket Ball C teat. LINCOLN, Jan. 38.—(Special Telegraim.)— A margin of two_points gave Nebraska avother victory ovdr the Ames Aggies at the university armory Saturday, and put the local five another notch nearer the championship title of the Missourl valley. The game was desperately fought, and a lead that the visitors gained early in the aocond half was only overcome by rapld- fire passing on the part of the Cornhuskers In the ciosing minutes of the game, when two brilllant throws by Captain Perry placed the score at % to 27 in favor of his team. ‘The sturdy Aggies frog the Towa state school battled with grim determination throughout the contest and shot baskets with such precise aim that they held the score 10 1§ to 16 in the first session and nosed into the lead by five points in the firet ten minutes of the last round. Much faster team play marked the work of the farmers tonight than was dispiayed yes- terday. Captain Perry starred for the Corahusk- ers, petting tlve goais from fleid and kocp- tng his guard fro:n. once locating the bas- ket. His acuvity lu racing after the ball permitted him to break up many passes by the Aggles that probal:; would have re- sulted in goals. But even the hard work of Captain Perry would not have netted the Cornhuskers a victory had not fresh men been sent into the game for Nebraska in the last session, Jones and Bchmidt replaced Hutchinson and lngersoll, respectively, and infused the ginger that forced Ames to defeat. Nchmidt put the ball in the rings twice during the tirst five minutes of his play, while Jones |dropped it into the netting once during that perfod. Al left forward Herbert was a real hero and dropped the ball into the hole for five goals from field and five from fouls, making a total of fifteen points that he earned. Veltrop, center, was a puzzle for his opponent, Petrashek, and nearly snatched away the Cornhusker's glory. :l‘hE lineup: Ames. . Brown .

NO APPLICATIONS YET ENTERED Commissioner Dennett Says Alaska ~ Olalms All Held Up. WASHINGTON, Jan. #3.—According to a statement issued today by Commisstoner Dennett of the general land office, none of the applications to enter Alaska coal lands has pessed to entry. It s also shown that of tho Alaska coal cases preliminary ad- verse reports have been received covering about 700 entries. The Cunningham group of thirty-three entries, upori which payment was made in 190§ and 107, and which will cut an {mportant figure in the Ballinger- Pinchot Inquiry, are now in hearing upon adverse report of agents. Final rgports have been received upon about 100 entries, upon a large number of which the general land office has recommended crjminal pro- ceedings . Adverse progeedings to cancel entries have been directdd upon most of the entries finally reported upon by agents. In the United States at large final ad verse reports from agents have been re- celved during the last twelve months upon cases Involving over 150,000 acres of land within the United States. Much of this is coal land. It appears from these reports made dur- (ng the last elght years, coal lands within the United States have been obtained by fraud to the extent of more than 66000 acres. These entrles usually cover the very best of the coal and are estimated as being worth §10,000,000. It {s declared that if mined on a royalty sufficlently low to enable independent operators to compete with existing coal combinations the returns to the government would reach over $100,- 000,000. All of these patents are from five to elght years old, Indications are that the fiscal year end- ing June, 1910, will show 50,000 acres of pat- ented land recovered and that the cash collections will approach or exceed the $1,00000 appropriated for the work. Re- ports inyolving over $3,000,000 In timber tres- pass also have been made during the year. Suits have been filed in many of the cases. During the six months ending January 1, $241,621 was collected on account of public lands and during the fiscal year 1908-09, #0344, The collections for the entire pre- ceding four years were less than $500,000, PILES CUR : Pazo Olotment case of Ttching, Truding Plles in 6 funded. §0c.
