SCOUTS BRING BACK NEWS Lincoln, Nov. 14.—(Special.)—Dr. Stewart and Assistant. Coach Dick Rutherford have been busy whipping a little bit of pep and fighting spirit into the .Cornhusgkers in preparation for the coming battle with the Kansas Jayhawkers next Saturday afternoon. It has been the absence of fight that has made the Cornhuskers show poor- ly in the last two games. Ever since the Oregon Aggies game Nebraska has been lacking fight and it has heen a_source of . serious’ worry to’ the Husker mentor. Practically half of the members. of the squad have been content to grind along without any very definite idea of hard, scrappy playing and Stewart feels that it is tifme to call a halt. The first 5;;\4:11:: in over a week last night, under. the most unfavorable weather conditions, ‘brought the first gleam of hope.in Over three weeks. The Huskers ploughed through the first year tea min a manner befitting a championship eleven of four. years’ standing and before Stewart called a halt he allowed the varsity to stand the freshmen on their, heads for five touchdow ve Bag of Tricks. . Thered8'a world of 'work to be dorié before the Huskers will be ‘ready to do serious battle against Kansas. The backfield “has never lugged ;an effec- tive punch all season, due to imper- fections' 'in, "interference ‘and team work, and part of the time this week will be spent-in smoothing out the offense, As. a matter of fact, the Huskers have a big bunch of tricks up their s s, which' théy have never been called upon to put to use, and it is all to be' sprung’within the next three games. Stewart wants to use. decisive scores: agaifist Kansas and Towa and,then let loose of everything in the final game of the season against Notre Dame. He rightly figures that Nclgrask*hwxll need everything to win against the' wonderful “eleven which Coach Hatper has devéloped at. the North Bend: institution, = Assistant. Coach Rutherford, Caley and Otoupalik sligped up to Vermil- lion to’witness the combat between Notre Dame and the South Dakota Coyotes’ and: what they saw made a big impression on them. - Ruthérford said that Notre Dame has a line which averages 210 pounds to the man from tackle to tackle, but. in addition to beef it is fadt and in the game every minute, Towa Is Strong. Dr. Stewart himself-hied to Evans- ton and saw the battle between Towa and Northwestern university, Coach Jones has the best Iowa eleven in five years, he declared, and has worked wonders with his charges since the beginning of the season. Iowa right now would be ready to give any team in the Big Nine a hardscrap, he said. . Vic Halligan did not get much of a line on Kansas against Washburn last Saturday. The Jayhawkers went onto the field with instructions to show nothm% and to be conteént with one score if necessary, but in spite of it they piled up a good count and im- pressed. Halligan as one of the best elevens Kansas has put forth since 1908. Halligan has been pitted against the Jai'hawkers /three years straight aince then and should be a fairly c(fiw petent judge of the strength of the Ja{_hawker R 4 he Tuesday night practice was a continuation - of the . hard drill- which Stewart gave his' players Monday night. With improved weather.condi- tions, Stewart devoted. mare attention to developing an open play attack. Practically ' every member of the squad is. in good physical, shape now, after havmdg'been out with injuries accumulated in the carly season. The Huskers, barring injuries in' practice this week, should be in the best physi- cal condition of the season, Cop Tells Leslie - Mann How to Wa. Leslie Mann, member of the Bos- ton Braves when they won the world's series in 1914 and ‘now connecfd with the Chicago Cubs, may be able to cut the’ bases in-the bfg leagues, but he can’t cut the corners in Omaha. Getting off a street car at Sixteenth and Farnam' streets hewas almost pinched when he :persisted in jay- walking across the corner. Only af- ter he was threatened with arrest would he retrace his steps and walk around the corner as the cop ordered. prtiSetundoaber - et — Many People Don't Know.

Was the Missouri Pacific railroad responsible for the death of Frank W. Smith, " a locomotive engineer, who was shot'and killed by Ezra A. Koontz, in the company’s railroad yards on January 27, 19127 The question will probably be de- cided in the case of Nellie A. Smith, administratrix of ‘the estate of her husband, against the Missouri Pac- cific, the widow of the engineer ask- ing_$50,000 ‘damages. Koontz was tried for the killing of Smith, but was adjudged insane, be- ing sent to the state insane asylum at Norfolk. ‘A couple of years ago he was paroled to_his brother at Kan- sas City, Mo., where he is residing at the present time. Smith and Koontz were fellow en- gineers, said to haye been the best of friends. The former was prepar- ing to ffl ‘out on his run, from Omaha to’ Falls' City, Neb., when Koontz shot him, Tt is set forth in the pe- tition that Koontz at the time be- lieved his wife unfaithful and that Smith was responsible. _The case had a*hearing in the United States district court, but the attorneys for the plaintiff later de- cided to bring it before the local dis- trict court. The petition maintaing that Smith’s death. was brought about by the negligence of the railroad company in having an insane mam in its. employ. Young and the Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.

N | New Orleans, La., Nov. .14.—The | National *Association of Base Ball Leagues met in annual session here today with the owners and officials of minor and major league base ball clubs and delegates from throughout the country in attendance. The meet- ing will continue through Thursday. Among the important questions ex- pected to come up for decision are the new demands of the Base Ball Players’ fraternity, including one re- lating to contracts covering the clubs’ control .over injured players. Other matters ‘to be discussed .included the relations ‘hetween players and minor league clubs, contracts, schedules, classifications and releases. President H. M. Sexton of the as- sociation was unable to attend be- cause of illness in his family, and in his stead Vice President Murnane pre- sided. The annual report, submitted by Secretary John H. Farrell, showed that' twenty-six league organizations, embracing 182 cities.and towns in the United States and Canada and em- ploying 4,728 players during the play- ing season of 1916 had qualified for membership. Only one qualified member of the ‘national association disbanded dnrin]g the last playing season—a Class league. ‘Out of the twenty-six leagues twenty-five started and twenty-three finished; one league was disqualified. The Canadian league did not operate on agcount of war conditions.

Wildman, state commis- sioner of the Federation of Ameri- can Motorcyclists, ‘advocate a state organization under the pational fed- eration, the club decided’to form such an_organization, Dr. Wildman hails from David City and is an enthusiastic exponent of the gasoliie bike, The benefits to be derived by the Omaha club’s move are great, it was said, and will become more apparent when, with the Grand Island club, all start the state proposition fairly under way. It will mean protection for the Ne- braska motorcyclists in more ways than one and will be the means of securing several bif race meets of na- tional importance for, Omaha and this part of the country. . Plans for sev- eral race meets for the coming year have already been started and the biggest of these is scheduled for Oma- ha next summer or in the early fall, Possibilities for a national conven- tion of motorcyclists will be bright with the establishment of the state body, and as soon as it is assured this will be worked for in an ener- getic manner. The recent national convention held in Denver was a big affair. Harry Stryker, président of the Omaha club, conducted the meeting last night an#,) with James C. Van Avery and A. G.
