Judgments RADUALLY the advantages of the shorter season are begin- ning to dawn upon the base ha]_ magnates. The two major leagues are sticking to the long schedule and, of course, the Pacific coast runs from April 1 to the last of October. But the Ameri- can association, which played 168! games this year, it is said, is ready to | cut to 154. The Westerp league is ready to trim to 140 games after hay | ing tested out the extreme scheduyle | of 168 games, the medium race, 154, and the shorter 140-game schedule The Southern association wound up the year on Labor day this year and intends to profit by experience and | do the same thing next year. The I.| . 1. league goes to the other ex- treme and announces a reduction in | ‘lh’t number of games from 140 to 26. | make the going hard, and the mag- | nates, especially the minor leaguers, | have come to realize that the addi. | tional profits which are occasionally | made by long schedules are not worth | the gamble. Ban Johnson is howling bloody | murder because some of the Ameri- can league players have been barn-| storming. It is said some punishment | is to be meted out for this heinous | offense. And yet several big league clubs, the Braves and Yanks and the Tigers and Giants, have consummated plans to make spring tours together next year on the journey homeward f}-om the southern training camps. Such games as these are bound to hurt. They will injure the minor leagu_g club owners in the towns on the itinerary and, in case one club pummels the daylight out of the other, will theck those interest-mak- ing discussions.over the relative class of the two big'leagues. Is one any worse than the cther, or might it not be the “other” i¥iworse than the “one?” ) _John Tener, presidest. of the Na- tional league, has declared war on Ban Johnson, president ofithe Amer- ican league, because Ban hippened to criticise McGraw's action in‘quitting the field during a game between the Giants and Robins. Tener even goes o far as to make the very rude re- mark, “If Johnson wants to da any hell-raising he need not look any'fur- ther for an opportunity than ‘the statement made by one of the club owners agains/ the umpires of | owners against the umpires of take it from the force and characfer of this response, is anxious to mix] it with Ban. Ban is known as sonfe- thing of a willing gladiator hims and it looks like a pleasant win from the ringside seats. Have ring the gong, Mr. Referee. Followers of Nebraska foot are going to be able to get a prafty good line on the merits of Missqliri Valley foot ball as compared to of the east this year. Notre Daffle, which clashes with the Cornhusiiérs on Thanksgiving day, plays the Affny next week. The Army has one of] best teams it ever had this year ranks a long favorite over the N But westerners are confident Dame will vanquish the militar riors, and in case they do Cornhuf supporters will get a chance to fsize up their hopefuls with the besf the east possesses. Ty Cobb is going to be the [star in a six-reel movie. Ty is to [play the part of a world-famed athlete who steals second, third and home, thus winning the game and the beau- tifully blonde daughter of a bank president. The chap who invented the game of base ball may | have thought at the time that the chjld. of his brain was to be a recreation and sport for the American people, but evidently he invented the game for | the personal use of Ty Cobb. A score of suggestions to remedy the world’s series evil have been made by as many reformers since the Red Sox put the skids under the Robins, Some of the suggestions are good ones, probably they are all better than the present post-season system, and it behooves the well known com- mish to show a little speed this win- ter and see if a practical plan can't be worked out. It looks like a six-club league for the Western in 1917. Frank |Isbell has given up all hope of reviving Wichita and Savage is getting ;ready to blow Topeka. A six-club league may make a less interesting pennant race and it may check the prestige of the Western, but it will be better than lugging the burden of a couple of lame ducks. National leaguers are offering the twenty-one-player limit rule as an alibi for the manifest superiority of the American league. What the Na- ional league needs most is a little more “pep,” even. a couple of cheer- | leaders might help. Already 43,000 seats have been sold for the annual Army-Navy game, showing that the New York National league club didn’t pull any business boner when it “bought” this event from Uncle Sam. Will wonders never cease? Geor- gia Tech, the other day, ran up a| score of 222 to 0 against Cumberland | and Cumberland's lineup carried such | names as Hennessee, Sullivan, Car-| ney and Murphy, too. Owens and Harsch Lead ! Pocket Billiard Play Bennie Owens and Heine Harsch are leading in the subway pocket bil- liard tournament to determine the championship of Nebraska. Owens has the cdge on his rival, however, as he has played two games, while Harsch has only played one. Hostilities in the tourney will be re- sumed Monday night when Harsch ays Jesse Reynolds at 8 o’clock. ¢ nding of the players so far is follows: s | among the class A gladiators. ' ALL-STARS CLASH WITH NONPAREILS Eleven Composed of Former Greats Will Tackle 1915 Champs at Luxus Park. HAVELOCK COMING NEXT By FRANK QUIGLEY. Despite the fact that all but one of the elevens in the field insist they are only class B, the local Sunday foot ball exponents seem to be get- ting away toward a good year. The Nonpareils, the only team in town | which admits it is a class A machine, l}qs succeeded in lining up a few con- flicts and everything is rosy. Al- When bad weather is encoun- | though old Jup Pluv tried his best to | tered in spring or fall, long schedules | 8rab the doings last Sunday, all of | the teams staged games which were well attended. Today is the day, Luxus park the place, and 3 p. m. the time, when the Nonpareils, champions of Omabha, | will collide with a constellation of stars picked from various teams that used to make the competition keen | This team will be known as the All-Stars, and will consist of some of the best available talent in this neighborhood. According to the dopesters this quar- rel will be the banner attraction among the local talent this season. The Nonpareils tip the beams around the 165-pound mark, while the All- Stars will average about 175 pounds. Of course, the All-Stars will not be very handsomely gowned, because most of them had to borrow their rai- | ment, but as they are post-graduates when it comes to producing pleasan- tries on the gridiron it is presumed lhat_ the fans will not pay much at- tention to the way they will be rigged out. Although the Nonpareils will have an advantage in speed and prac- tice, they will find a stone wall against them that will only be pen- etrable by tricks and forward passes and the Stars might break them up. Anyway, a-contest that will make the Nonpareils and their followers sit up and blink will probably be the out- come. The lineup: NONPAREILS. | ALL-STARS, Blackman Rosso . Hart Sandau Woolsey Pearson . McCormick Schuelsky ..... Plerce Foran ..... |R.E. Sherlock, Wright Simpson, Firbush, B Johnson Moore . Quigley Tracey, Pemmy Kieny Peters Jacoberger ms,. Haller Spauldings Organize. Riverview park at 3:30 p. m. is where the Spauldings and the Ger- man Shamrocks will hook up this afternoon. The Spauldings simply organized for this offense, the pur- pose being to put a crimp in the aspirations of the Shamrocks. At 3:30 p. m. at Ducky Holmes' park the Nonpareil Reserves and the Ducky Holmes warriors will shake paws. Enmity of the sour sort exists between these two bands, so a struggle sprinkled with thrills is looked for. To date the Reserves have not been defeated, while the Ducks lost one wrangle by the small margin of one point. The Nourse Oil company squad and the fast Fontenelle Reserves will hook up at Fontenelle park at 3:30 p. m. These two teams are about evenly matched, so a warm argument is ex- pected. A preliminary game at the same park will be played between the Monmouth Park Reserves and the Fontenelle Juniors. These two teams balance the scales at about 140 pounds and they are real speed merchants on their pedals. This game is billed for 1:30 p. m. Battle on Muny Lot. A good game is expected by the followers of the two contingents that will battle on the municipal lot at Thirty-second and Dewey avenue this afternoon. The bout will be between the Tigers and the Thirty-third and California Street Merchants. These two teams have been telling each other how the war broke out, but about six bells this evening one side will always remember how it termin- ated. The Mazdas and Dundee Woolen Mills will collide at Luxus park at about 1:30 p. m. this afternoon. These two teams are real live contenders for the class B championship. Neither team has”been defeated by a class B organization to date. the Dundee Woolen Mills sidetracked the Ducky Holmes and the Mazdas hung the crepe on the Council Bluffs Midgets. This wrangle will have con- siderable to do with the class B championship and in all probability will be a spectacular affair from cur- tain to curtain. This contest will be the initial mix of a double-header scheduled at Luxus park. If some- thing does not happen to mar ar- rangements made the Athletics will play the Council Bluffs Longeways at Athletic park, Council Bluffs. Next Sunday a large gathering of foot ball enthusiasts will undoubtedly decorate the stands at Luxus park to witness the tussle between the Non- pareils, champions of Omaha, and the Boilermakers from Havelock, Neb. Last season the Havelock aggrega- tion played the Columbians in Omaha and the contest resulted in a 7-to-7 tie and as the foreign troupe, according to the dope, have strength- ened their gang considerably they will make the Nonpareils travel at a merry clip in order to rake in the groceries. wt J.

Lincoln, Oct. 28.—(Special.)—A Missouri Valley title hinges on the outcome of the battle next Saturda_\'{ | afternoon on Nebraska field between| | the Huskers and the Ames Aggies. Ames, by its decisive defeat of Kan- | sas and a tie score with Missouri, has demonstrated its right to dispute the Should Dr. Stewart's proteges suc- | ceed in trouncing the scrappy eleven | developed by Coach Mayser, Husker | claims for a sixth consecutive cham- pionship would be recognized throughout the valley. Dr. Stewart had no sooner bounced off the train from Portland before he instituted a radical shakeup in his lineup to plug the hole occasioned by injuries to Moser, the lanky center, in the Oregon Aggie game. Caley at Center. Caley, the lightest and one of the fleetest men on the squad, for two years quarterback and halfback, and in that capacity field general, was shifted to center., He will follow the new system of passing the ball di- rectly to the runner, after calling sig- nals from center, and will follow in the interfergnce as a safety against fumbles. It's a decided innovation to see a man weighing less than 150 pounds in the pivotical position on the line, but Dr. Stewart had demon- strated that he has a stonewall de- fense and the rooters are not greatly worried over the change. Should Ca- ley prove unadapted to center, then Dr. Stewart has Cameron, a splendid center, to fake his place. Captain /Corey’s work at end was such in the Oregon game as to strongly recommend that he be left in a wing position. The Husker cap- tain proved ‘just as effective on de- fense as joffense and was especially brilliant ip forward passing. Rhodes, who started the season as a backfield man, has apparently found a position at tackle in the place vacated by Co- rey, while Dobson, whose punting and | defensive work were a big feature of | the Oregon game, is a fixture in the| | backfield. | Stiff Week Ahead. | The coming week will see the stiff- i(‘fit preparation of the season in an | ticipatign«of a smashing battle with | the Ames warriors. Coach Mayser | has apparently developed the strong- est team representing the Aggies in the lapt six years. In weight the Huskers will have a decided ad-| ;v:mr ge, both on the line and in the | backfield, but Ames boasts of an at- | | tack which lugs a punch, while the | two ends have been able to smother y attempts to circle the Aggies’ | wings. It is practically a veteran or- ganization which is representing | Ames. The Aggies had Nebraska whipped last year until the final quar- | ter, whern Coach Stiehm turned the| tide of battle by sending in a fresh| array of players. | For the first time this year the| | Huskers expect to face a team which | | has demonstrated its ability to play | the open game. Owing to the con-| | stant changes and the new style of | play the Huskers have been retarded | in rounding into full speed, but by | next Saturday Nebraska should be in| | shape to offer its full strength. Jimmy Gardiner, the former Omaha | High school star, has a little score tle with Aldrich, the fleet-footed | field star of the Aggies. Aldrich Sioux City High school plaver d captain, has bucked Gardiner for | five consecutive years on the girdiron | Gardiner’s teams have carred off most of the laurels in the encounters. The two are close friends, but there is a lot of friendly rivalry on the grid- | iron.

Athletic Manager year contract with Coach Dobie’s eleven at the University of Washing- ton. Dobie has a record of ten years' of unbroken success on the girdiron and he thinks he can turn the trick | against the Huskers. Tlle_Nehraska athletic board will consider the proposition at its meeting next month, but Chancellor Avery indicated that if | any game was scheduled it would have to be on the grounds of the universities. The contract calls for a game on the coast in 1917, with one in Lincoln the following year. There isn't any chance that the Huskers will journey east this fall to meet one of the strongest elevens in the east as indicated in press dis- | patches from Boston, Nebraska has the hardest schedule she has ever FOOT BALL SQUAD OF UNIVERSITY OF OMAHA—Bottom row, reading left to right: Crawford, Johnson, Korbmaker, Yocum, Harry DeLamatre, coach.

Smith in straight set, 7-5, 6-2, 6-2, and thereby won first rank in singles competition at Brownell Hall for the year. Pairing with Emily Burke in dou- bles, Miss Smith was more fortunate, Here she and her partner swept the boards and obtained the champion- ship by defeating Virginia Pixley and Mary Morsman in the finals. Like the singles, this match went through Simmons, Howard DeLamatre, Auxier, B. Allwine, 0 straight sets, with the score 6-1, 6-2, 6-3. These girls won the right to enter the finals only after defeating a num- ber of rival contestants. Each year the' entry list at Brownell is a lengthy one, and the struggle for su- premacy is keen. Especial interest to Omaha people attaches to the fact that all of the fi- nalists this year, both in singles and doubles, are residents of the city. This is in spite of the fact that practically 50 per cent of the enrollment at Brow- nell consists of out-of-town girls. Not Much Damage Looked For. Knockout Brown and Buck Cruise are going to fight. We don't look for any great amount of damage, ' but there'll be some sore knuckles after the scrap.

OMAHA FIVE WILL PLAY IN TOURNEY Brandeis Quintet to Again Enter in National Basket Ball Tournament. PAUL SHIELDS IS SIGNED The Brandeis basket ball quintet, champions of Omaha last year, will again enter in the tournament an- nually staged by the Amateur Ath- letic union, to determine the basket ball championship of the United States. The Brandeis five hasn't won the championship of Omaha yet, but they confidently expect to and even if they don't intend to take part in the country-wide fracas anyhow. Last year the local team played in the national tourney at Chicago. They won the first round game, but | 1gst to the San Francisco Olympics whom they had previously defeated on the Omaha “Y" floor. This year, however, the lineup is much stronger and Jake Isaacson, manager of the | team, is one who is confident the locals will have the fastest amateur quintet in - the country this year. “Strengthened by Virg Rector at center and Hugpen and Ernie Adams to play with Burkenroad at the for- ward positions,” insists Isaacson, “we can beat anything that comes this way.” Teams Seek Games. A number of teams have n|rudfi written Isaacson, secking games witl the Brandeis crew on the local floor. The Illinois Athletic club wants a contest. Plans are already under way for a big game between Nebraska Wesleyan and the Brandeis at the muny Auditorium, and several other teams have applied for dates. Nebraska City wants the Brandeis to go down there for a combat. Warren Ritchie, who will captain the Brandeis again this year, has signed another crack, who should add strength to the five. He is Paul Shields, former South High and Uni- versity of Nebraska star. Shields was a whale at Nebraska and should make a corking guard to help Ritchie and Bob_Koran. Hosiery of pure and no SRS S
