'Oh-0-0-0, 1 am 80 nervous! *‘Oh-0-0-0—yes, yes! Somedings it Map- pens. I do not know. No! I am so nervous! IHussane, he is defeat’ in nine minyutes. What a business is this! It better was that I be drunk. I could not have done worser. Nine minyutes! Hus. sane! Oh-o-0-0! I am so nervous! ““He hasn't quite recovered yet, sald Curley. “Stecher got him with a scissors hold for the first fall—that hold with the two legs around the body which the N braskan has perfected to murderous effi- clency. The second time Hussane got behind him, and was working on him, svhen suddenly one of Stecher's ham-like hands shot out, grasping Hussane around the wrist, and threw him around in the alr. It was all over so quickly that 1 could scarcely realize what had hap- pened. As for Hussane—well, you :see him." “I am 80 nervous,” ing the floor. “Hussane s a good wrestler, and had you told me any man in the world could throw him twice in nine minutes I'd have laughed at you,” continued Cutley. ‘This Stecher is the greatest wrestler I've ever seen. In my opinion, he is the greatest anybody has ever seen. If ever he meets Gotch, and he probably will within the next year, out around Omaha, I'm going to bet all I can borrow or beg n Stecher.” “I should shoost as well be drunk; could not have done worser," Hussane. ' he said. sald Hussane, walk- 1 insisted Joe s a Farmer. “Stecher is 23 years old, and was born and reared In the little town of Dodge, Neb. resumed Curley. I never heard of Dodge before In my life until I heard of Stecher, but I am told that another of our American great wrestlers, Clarence ‘Whistler, came from there. 1 always thought he originated in Baltimore, but it seems not. “Stecher never had a wrestling lesson in his life. All be knows about the game he has picked up himself, and if he can beat Gotch, as I think he can, it will be one of the most wonderful accomplish- ments in the history of wrestling. “Stecher is not an exceedingly big fel- fow, being of medium helght and welgh- ing about 10 pounds, but he:is amaz- ingly strong and fast on the mat. All his preliminary wrestling was done with his brother and sister out on the farm. They tell me his sister can easily throw the @verage wrestler. “The scissors hold apparently came natural to Stecher, but he has perfected it In many ways. When he trains he takes a sack stuffed full of wheat and straddles it, bringing the pressure of his lega to bear upon it until the bag bursts, T've heard it sald, too, that he used to straddle cows and horses, and crumple them up by the terrific pressure of h's limbs; but this story sounds a bit far fetched, “Stecher has never wrestled an exhibi- tion. When he steps on the mat he is out to win, and he wins so quickly that it really isn't much of a show. He has thrown eight men in seventy-elght min- utes in his last elght matches—sixteen falls, Why, any man in this wrestling tournament that is going on here now would be a mark for him, in my opinion.” “I am so0 nervous,” remarked Hussane Curley Shows How. “Here!” gald Curley, suddenly grab- bing Bill Farnsworth, who wandered into the office at that luckless moment, “I'll show you how Stecher took Hussane on the second fall.” And Dbefore the astounded Bill knew what was com:ng off he was down on the floor and the indus- trious Jack was using him as a lay figure to illustrate his lecture. We have seen and heard ‘‘Hurry-Up" Yost reel off one of his movie scenarios | of a foot ball game, and we have ob- served George Stallings at full speed in a base ball conversazione, but nothing on Jack Curley when the topic 1s wrestling. Jack Herman, a Chicago wrestling promoter, who is now bringing the original Zbyszko back to this country, ame in and added to Prof. Curley's audi- | ency ‘“He's thrown such men as Cutler and ‘Westergaard and Americus without the slightest trouble,” sald Curley, meaning Stecher. “When he wrestled Cutler big chunk of money went out of Chicago 10 bet on Cutler. I know of over $20,000 from one source that was gathered in by the Nebraska. farmers. At that time the wise lads in the wrestling game thouzht he was a sucker, but they've changed thelr minde, Gotch had a bet on Cutler.” “He's pretty good, that Stecher firmed Herman. “I've seen him Still, it seems to me that most the fellows he has wrestled were made to order for that sclssors—rather thin fel lows, mostly. I don't see how he could et his legs around Zbyszko, he's such an abnormally big man.” Can Beat 'Em All “Mark what I tell you," said Curley “Stecher will beat him sure.

The big “dark horse,” so far has been George Yardley, who came her this year from Oak Park High, Chicago. He 18 showing up in fine form and will prob- ably be used at either center or forward. In case he proves good at center, Payn- ter will be shifted to a forward. Clyde Smith, who came from Fort Dodge, Ia., and proved a star at right end on the foot ball team is also show- ing up well in practice, Bugene Maxwell, who played last year on the Beatrice High basket ball five at guard, s the third new man to make & good impression. | Besldes these men the coach has Grove, Patty, Logan, Weirich, Fullaway, Crow- ley, Nichols, Macfarland and Gelsler, first string substitutes and second team men left over from last year to pick from. One of the strongest schedules that could be made has been lined up for this year. Lincoln and Sioux City will be played twice. Besides these, Kanada City (Mo) Manual High, St. Joseph, Council Bluffs, South Omaha, Beatrice, University Place, Fort Dodge (Ia.), Ne- braska City and York, will be on the schedule. The game with Kansas City -Manual High is considered one of the biggest games of the year. They will play here on January 12 Both Omaha High and the Kansas City teams play the nuhu | berore, Kansas City playng Lincoin ac | Lincoln, and Omaha playing University | Place High at University Place. Besides these games the high school will enter | their first’ team in the Tri-City league, |and a second team in the Commercial | league. - No. games will be scheduled | after the state tournament at Lincoln in | March, on account of the lack of interest shown o late in the season. 'Reason for Taking Money from Horse Not Yet Learned p AT Tom Dennison, present owner of Hal McKinney, well known pacing stallion, is still awaiting information as to why the board of appeals of the American Trotting association decided that the money which the horse won at Beatrice last June must be redistributed. Pending Yreceipt of such Information further negotiations relating to match races be- tween Hal McKinney and Columbia Fire have been postponed. At the time of the Beatrice race Hal | McKinney was owned by Clark ' and Sebastian of Hemet, Cal. Why the board of appeals held that the horse's winnings there are illegal has not yet been re- vealed. It press dispatches are correct the amount of his Beatrice winnings must be paid to the association before the horse can be started again Can't Shoot Ducks From a Motorb A | TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 11.—The Kansas supreme court today held that the state | law forbidding shooting of wild ducks | motor boat is valia &ercise of power of the state, nothwith- state and federal laws s conflict statute the from a the police tanding that the regarding the ghooting of b nl regard to the federal court held “Congress has no power to prescribe regulations or the protection of migratory | birds while within the boundary of the | state, The natural flight of wild fowl | from point to point does mot constitute | commerce.’ | FORMER HUSKER STAR MARRIES IN 'LLINOIS can take half & million dollars out there | and they'll cover it for you.

T0 SUGCEED JUMBO Bill Roper, Jess Harper, Gil Dobie‘ and Bennie Owen Names Before Nebraska Athletic Board. | ARY ONE WOULD MAKE GOOD| By JAMES B, LAWRENCE, LINCOLN, Neb, Dec. 1L—(Special) Five years of successful foot ball and the University of Nebraska Is back again where it started in 1810. Alumn. | and undergraduates of the Cornhusker | instiftution have not recovered thelr breath yet from the shock of Jumbo Stiehm's sudden jump to the University of Indlana. The athletic board sbout the task, and task it is, of filling the shoes of the | most successful coach the state uni- | versity ever had. The faculty members of the board realize they have b dered in letting Stiehm transfer his af- fections to the Hoosler institution, but there 1s an aggressive move on foot to secure a competent man to fill the place and there are admittedly many comjc- tent ‘men who can. turn out wonderful elevéns with the splendid material which is bravely golng a very difficult | be coming to the university in the next tew years, The first conference of the board has been called for mext Monday noon when preliminary steps will be [taken to fill the vacancy without any m-m-. There are four names bofore the athletic board, any one of which would be very acceptable at Nebraska, but it is not known whether their services are available or not. 11 ‘Roper Mentioned. “Bill" Roper, ex-Princeton star, who coached Missourl into her only Missour! valley championship the year he was at the helm of athletics at the Tiger in- stitution and who gave Princeton an eastern championship the only year he was there, would be a very desirable man.' Roper retired to practice law after developing two champlonship elevena. It is now understood he s anxious to get back into the coaching game and Ne- braska would furnish a most desirable opening for him. Benny Owen, the one-armed wizard, who has been working wonders at Okla- homa; Jess Harper, the old Chicago star, who has turped out such wonderful elevens at Notre Dame, and the miracle man of the coast, Gilmore Dobie, are | g0 betore The athletic board at its Mon- day's conference, Any one of these four men, it is felt, could fill Stlehm's shoes most acceptably and maintain the high standard which Nebraska has set in the last five years under the regime of Jumbo. Bender Also Suggested. There are other suggestions, among them Johnny Bender, but these are likely to recelve second coneideration. There is no disposition to criticise Stiehm for accepting the Indiana effer among the undergraduate body, and his close friends arpund town. There is a feeling of keen regret, however, that the Nebraska mentor acted so hastily and without giving his friends an opportunity to see what could be done to retain him, It is this sentiment which was expressed by Dr. Avery. It seemed the cards were stacked for an immediate reply, however, and Stiehm was lost because of the un- willingness of faculty members to over- [ look thelr petty. jealousies, the students against the members of the faculty, who were not willing to grant the salary Increase, It was pointed out that athletics have paid and have pald well under Stiehm, and none of the fa- culty members were suffering in salary because the athletic coach was paid a salary of $3500 a year. But to the nar- row-minded members of the facuity, salary of $4.500 for an athletic coach was out of the question when they were draw- It was to be regretted that the athletic board did not possess the courage to turn a cold shoulder to such peanut policies and vote a salary increase sufficient to keep Stiehm. Must Boost Salary. The alumni and citizens of the state will have to rebuke the professors’ pro- testing on paying an athletic coach his full worth if they are going to get a man big enough to fill Stiehm's shoes. Any one of the four men who have been sui gested to the athletic board as desirable will cost more money than Nebraska has been paying, In fact, the Cornhusker in- stitution will get off lucky if they can get them for the figure which Indiana gave Stiehm. All athletics of the university have been lost sight of in the excitenrent over Stiehm's departure.

The Class A teams are to be followed by the Commer- clal tossers who will open up the first Tuesday in January, The Church leaguers will decide their opening date at a spe- clal meeting that is to take place Decem- ber 17, Though the Tri-City loop will open up Saturday several of the quitets will not be ready for some time to come. Among these are Creighton college and the Uni versity of Omaha. In order that play can start on the date decided upon, the schedule is 50 being arranged that the two schools will not play their first con- test until after the first of the year. That basket ball fans will witness a | most active season is evidenced from the | tact that over thirty-five quintets have organized.

SPORT MAKES GAINS ALL OVER Ten registered trap shoots were held during the current year in Nebraska, ac- cording to the report of ~Secretary Shaner of the Interstate association, under the auspices of which all regis- tefed shoots are held. The average atendance of amateur shots at Nebraska tournaments was forty-five and one-fifth, which is a very high average, figuring that in some state the average attendance was loss | than twenty. In the ten tournaments | held, a total of 152475 targets were trapped. The moneys contributed to Nebraska tourneys by the Interstate as- | soclation totaled $525. ' THE BASE BALL RUN Western League Will Return to the Longer Five-Month Schedule Next Season. TIP 0'NEILL GOES TO THE COAST The Western league will return to tha | five-month schedule next year The magnates were dissatisfied with the 140-game card this season, so it is practically assured they will draft a 18 game schedule when the committee meets in February. It mso happened last spring that the weather man turned loose two weeks of swell weather just before the opening of the season on April 23 At 3 o'clock on April 23, it began to rain and kept up the rest of the season. As a result, this year, the magnates intend to get in on those two early weeks, and the openins game will probably occur about April i4 this season, within a day or two of the date of major league openings. The, season, with 164 games, will then run to about September 15 Tip O'Nelll on the Coast. According to reports from both Oak- land and Chicago Tip O'Nelll, ousted as president of the Weatern loop, is dick- ering for the ownership of the Oakland Paciifo Coast league franchise. Tip feels that he would like to round out his base bal] career as a magnate in the city where he formerly played and where he owns large real estate holdingn, He has started negotintions with Leavitt & Cook, owners of the club, but these chapa do not think much of Tip's terma. Tip contends the price should be based on last year's somewhat disastrous sea- son, but the Oakland owners insist Tip will have to come up in his figure, and Oakland fans believe he will do so. Tannehill at Topeka. It has been gossiped about that Lee ‘Tannehill, third-sacker for the Rourkes this year, will be made manager of the Topeka club, which is without a pllot at its helm. When Wichita captured Jimmy Jackson it left the Kaws with- out a boss. Now the talk is that Tan- nehill will be signed as Tannehill would cost Savage no purchase price. When Lee signed with Omaha it was with the promise that he be made a free agent at the end of the year. He is now at Iliberty to go where he chooses and prob- ably would accept the Topeka manago- ment If it were offered to him, Reds Ruy Mitehell Clarence Mitchell, star southpaw on the Denver Grizzlies this year, has been sold to the Cincinnat! Reds. Mitch-1l was over-looked by major league o'ubs last summer, both during the purchase and draft seasons, Then he joined the All-Americans on Bancroft's all-star tour and he pitched a few four and five- kit games against the Nationals. Ths result was that the attention of Charley Herzog was called to Mitchell and Her- zog promptly purchased him. And for a guess, Mitchell will make good with tha Reds,’ for he Is a pretty nifty port sider. Patterson Acts as Scout. Reports from the Pacific coast indicats that Ham Patterson, newly appointed manager of the Vernon elub, is acting as a scout for the Wichita team of which he was manager the latter part of last yeéar.

This information reached Toledo horse- men, who revered the name of Cresceus a few years ago. His former owner, Georgs B. Ketcham, who made a fortune off him, says he understands the great trot- ting king is now a humble army horse off there in the Baitic provinces, Ketcham sold Cresceus to the Russian government a few years ago. Agents from the czar's army arrived with a huge offer. Cresceus was needed for breeding purposes, sald the agents. Ketcham took the offer. In the meantime Cresceus, who deteriorated rapidly after his defeat Ly The Harvester, was of no use to the rac- ing world, He was a failure also as a breeder. Bince his arrival in the czar's domain there has been an occasional word about Cresceus ‘recelved by Toledo horsemen. This word always told of faflure of the one time trotting king. Crésceus is now! Secretary BShaner's annual report is| very gratifying to followers of the blue | rock’ game, as it shows a big increase in | the sport this year. The number of different contestants In registered tournaments was 8,140 this year, as compared to 7540 last year. | The total number of tournaments held was 333, as compared to 34 a year ago. This s despite the fact that this year seventy-stx applications four tourna- ments were refused, as compared to only fifteen refusals of applications in 1914 There were forty-two registered state tournaments this year as against thirty- nine a year ago. The above record s really a splendid one. While base ball and other popular sports suffered from the industrial lull which perveated the land during the greated part of the year, trap shooting was in no way afected. And the records of the Interstate as- soclation, it must be remembered, do not include any data with regard to unreg- tstered tournaments, and there were scores of such held throughout the United States this year. There are far more unregistered tournaments held than registered ones. cout Bob Connery thinks the St Louls crliica are overiooking something it ihey do not figure on Third Baseman Hiller, drafted from Durham, N.
