Lincoln Concedes Omaha High's Hold On the State Title Lincoln, Nov. - 2.—(Special.)— Loach Mulligan and his Central High foot ball warriors got the Missouri valley and Nebraska state champion- ship titles wtihout any dispute from Lincoln High, officials here vesterday declared, Awaiting the return of Coach Herb and Missouri and Ames played a ttie, Kansas, who began to make ex- tensive plans to claim the champion- ship, is the only eleven which can't assert equality, Kansar' lost two games, while Nebraska, Ames, Kan- sas Aggies and Missouri only lost one cach, Reese, who is spending the Thanks- giving holidays with Eis parents in Randolph, Neb, no formal statement will be issued concerning the pro- posed post-season game between Omaha and Lincoln. Ther is no intention shown here of On Comparative Scores. { Again, by figuring comparative i scores, one might give Missouri a shade. Missouri lost ita one game by the narrow margin of one point, a field goal. And the Tigers beat Kan. sas lIay two touchdowns, But one also could give Ncbraska a shade figuring the same way on the ground that the Cornhuskers trimmed the Kansas Ag- jes by two touchdowns, while the ansas Aggies beat Missouri. But figure it any way you want to, disputing the claim of Coach Mulli- gnn and his warriors' to the Ne- raska championship laurels, Senti- ment has always been strongly against a post-season game. Had Lincoln_ been successful :.gainst Sioux City High school in the Tur- key day battle, it was the intention of the local authorities to lay claim to the state; championship on the basis' of comparative scores—Lincoln having held the advantage until Thursday.

Winnetoon had the ball on Creighton’s twenty-yard line and Dobry tried a drop-kick, which failed. Creighton took the ball on its own twenty-yard line, made two forward passes and a line smash which sent the ball over for a touch- down. These same teams played a 0-to-0 tie last Sunday.

It was his punt- ing tha won for the Jayhawkers over Nebraska, He also is good at throw- ing forward passes and receiving them, He runs the open field fairly well and is a good plunger, He plays any position in the backfield, but full- back is the position he will have to be given on the all-valley eleven, Weak at Quarter. There are only two men in the val- ley who resemble quarterbacks. They are Sloss, of Ames, and Stanowski, of Missourt, Sloss gets the call be- cause he is the bigger man and a betr ter ground gainer. Sloss was the best ground gainer Ames had; as a matter of fact he comes pretty near:-being the best in the valley. ilv's a slippery open field man who also can buck the lineroccasionally for variety, The two halfback positions go to two Missourians—Pittam and Collins, Neither man is a great star, but both are good line plungers and fast enough to skirt the ends with mod- erate success, Missouri had the best scoring machine in the valley and Pit- tam and Collins made it so. Four from Nebraska. Thus do Nebraska anl Missouri both get four men on the first all-Mis- souri".llty eleven; Kansas gets one, Ames one and the Kansas Aggies one, Choosing a second team is ecven more difficult than choosing a first, It is probable eleven other players could be chosen who would be the equal of those we name, Packer and Jones, of Ames, are given the end positions. Both are good defensive men; both are good at running down under punts and both are good at receiving the forward pass, They're not stars, but they're good, consistent players. Frost, of Kansas, and Kositsky, of N¢braska, get the tackles. Frost is big and powerful and endowed with natural ability, Kositsky earns his Yo:ition because of his fighting spirit {e hasn't the natural talent, perhaps, of three or four other linemen in the valley ,but le's a fighter from the word go and more than makes up for any lack of naturat ability. Rhodes at Guard. The selection of Rhodes at guard is more or less arbitrary. Rhodes, playing -his first year, started out in the backfield, then was shifted to tackle and then to guard, but he played guard only on the offense, oc- cupying an end on the defense, Rhodes, we anticipate, will play at end entirely next year. And he's a better defensive end than Randells or Packer or Jones. But he has never pluyed that position on the «ffensive s0 he can't be given that/position on a vvalley selection, His work in the lowa ond Notre Dame games was of first team calibre, but it's impossible to find a position for him because he has been shifted around so. But he must be given a position on the honor roll, so we place him at guard, arbitrary as it may be. Burton, of Kansas, who played tackle this year, is given the other guard position, Rider, of Missouri, is given the full- back job. Rider is a powerful line plunger and is fast enough to skirt the ends. He also plays a good de- fensive game. Woodward and Aldrich. Woodward, of Kansas, a marvel at flipping forward pas: gets one of the halfback positions. Woodward also is a good line plunger and a fast man in the open field. Aldrich, of Ames, who is just shy of first team | fullback, man is chosen for a backfield posi- tion, Otoupalik is the only Corn- husker who might be chosen for one of the honor positions. If Hugo had played in all his games as he did agajnst Jowa nobody could have beat- en him out of a job on the first team, but his work in all the other games was poor. Caley, Cook and Dobson are out of the question. Fast, of Kansas, was heralded as a Qstar by many, Fast was undoubt- edly a brilliant open field runner— probably the best'in the valley—but he'd make a twenty-yard run and then fumble the ball, and anybody who fumbles as frequently as he did against Nebraska does not belong on an all-star eleven, All in all an All-Missouri Valley eleven is a very ordinary affair this year.

Both are husky and powerful and have, shown ability in defensive and offensive work, Heuitle, right guard, was consjdered by 1 any coaches as the strongest man ithat graced a normal suit, No one will dispute that Hughes has won the pivot position on the mythical eleven. Every person who has watched the big Wesleyan center feels hat he is the peer of centers. TLat he was not selected captain of the team was only because he has been shiftéd around quite a bit by Coach Kline, White of York at left half and Thurber of Hastings at right make an ideal combination for the back- field positions, Both are fast and have shown great power in skirting the ends or picking their holes through the line. White is also a good open-field runner and has been, perhaps with the exception of Cox, one of the most consistent ground gainers of the York contingent. To fill out the team there is Blod- gett, the hard-plunging Wesleyan Blodgett carries the ball well and could always be relied upon to do his share of the ground gain- ing. The second team is composed of luminaries of little less brilliance than those comprising the first selection. That tfey have not been first choice does not signify that they have less ability than the first selection. In all praobabilities they are just as good. Quarterback Craig of Peru has been selected to captain the second cone tingent. It is a regrettable fact that Craig cannot be placed on the first team, as the doughty quarter was without doubt the real leader of his team, Britt of Cotner and Doane of Blust, both strong men, are the logical players for the:left and right tackle positions. At left guard Buckner of Wesleyan has the edge. E. Hanson of Nebraska Central is his running mate, Kinnier of Bellevue seems to be the best selection at center, Kinnier was the mainstay of the Indian team, Par- minter of Cotner deserves honorable mention for the position, but the Bellevue man has a shade on defen- sive work. There is little question that Cox of York and Sanborg of Peru should have the right and left half positions. At the ends King of Doane and Bayer of the same contingent played an_unusually strong game. ability and has ohe bad habit—occa- sional fumbling—gets e other half. Stanowski has no competition for the quarterback position, It is noticeable that not a Nebraska Shellmadine of Yerk is one of the best fullbacks in the state. He is a consistent ground gainer and showed a great adaptability at picking the open spaces in the line, 1916. Bone makes good fertilizer, so foot ball coaches know .

'|A FINE HUMAN MACHINE | Kansas City, Mo, Déc. 2.—Jess Willard is still heavyweight cham- ‘pion of the world, and probably will be for a long time to come. He out- classes all his rivals as badly now as when he proved his titular worth in that bout with Frank Moran at Madi- son Square Garden. There is not a man in his division who compares with him in boxing skill or physique. Nor is there one being developed who figures with a | chance of dethroning him in the near future. He stands alone among the heavyweights. The day of reckonin must come, of course, as it did for all his predecessors, but the dawn of that day is not yet in sight. Only a fortnight or so ago it was reported that “Jess weighted every ounce of 300 pounds, if not more. As Jim Coffroth, former California promoter, and a man who enjoys a world’s reputation as judge of boxers; their physical condition and ability, was said to have made this declara- tion, it was given extensive pub- licity. Weight is Right There is not a whit of truth in the report. Willard is not a candidate for any circus fat man's job. He is a big fellow, sure enough, and his weight is in proportion to his height, but he does not scale three hundred- weight. This statement is made on personal observation. t Willard closed his circus engage- ment in Fort Worth, and lnefhlsscd through Kansas City enroute to his home in Chicago. On, the invitation of Tom Jones, who was in town to confer with Jack Curley, his asso- ciate manager of the champion, re- garding plans for the future, the writer gave Willard the up and down and several times over. The cham- pion exhibited himself for only 15 minutes between trains, but that time was ample for the purpose of sub- stantiating or disproving the reports as to his poor condition. “Here I am. How do I look?” in- quired Jess as he stepped into the train shed, “Well, my appearance does not belie my condition.” out of his frame. “Yes, I saw that story about my weight. It's a joke.” The boyish smile vanished and he became serious. Coffroth Misquoted. “In the first place, I believe Cof- froth was misquoted, He certainly is too good a judge to be so badl mistaken. I will tell you what I wifi do. I have only a few minutes, but if there is a scale around here, I will ladl‘y let you weigh me 'yourself, %hats fair enough, isn't it? Come on, then, let's hustle.” Being directed to the baggage room- scales, Jess first set the weights at-272 pounds. Then he got on the platform. The beam just wavered. “Make note of the clothes I have on,” he said, “and allow accordingly. When I last weighed myself stripped, which was about two weeks ago, 1 hit exactly 263. That's only a few pounds more than I weighed for Moran.” Knowing his own weight, and in order to remove any doubt as to the accuracy of the scales, the writgr thén got on them. The beam balanced truly. Never mind the exact mark; it was about half the champion’s weight. | In Great Shape.’ “I could be 'ready to fight in two weeks,” Jess continued. “Of course I don't want to, as I wish to remain at home for a while, but if it was neces- sary it wouldn't take longer than that to get into condition,” and Jess unbuttoned his vest and held it open. It wasn't necessary to probe into him to learn that he carried very little surplus flesh. The stomach, always the first place for fatty tissue to accu- mulate, was as flat as a boatd. A glance at his belt showed that it had but one buckle mark way back toward the last hole. Obviously it was of long standing. ¢ Jess's cheeks were also thin. They were not actually drawn, but there was a perceptible depression below the bones. There was an utter absence of anything resembling jowls. His neck rose straight above his collar without lapping over either in front or behind, His eyes were bright and his spirit fresh and buoyant. Never Weighed It. “I never weighed 300 pounds at any time,” He said, reverting to the sub- ject as though it annoyed him, “Once, before I started boxing, 1 weighed 288 pounds. That is the top weight of my life. Why, my two per- formances a day with the circus—and Jess grinned and stretched the kinks | EBBETS PROPOSES INGREASE IN LIIT President of Superbas Thinks Twenty-Two Men Right for Club.

Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn Nationals, announced that he had sub- mitted an amendment to the Na- tional league to increase its player limit from twenty-one to twenty-two players. The amendment will come up for consideration at the league’s annual meeting here on December 12, ‘Ebbets also announced the pur- | chase of Infielder Adams and Out- fielder Miller from the Winnipeg club. The Brooklyn club has re- leased the following players outright: Napoleon Rucker, under op- tional agreement; Pitchers Colwell and_Goodbred and OQutfielder Miller to Oakland, with privilege to recall at end of 1917 season; Infielder Kelle- her_to Denver and Outfielder Nixon to Beaumont. Rucker, for years one of the lead- ing left handed pitchers in the game, will be employed to scout: for ‘the Brooklyn club in the American asso- ciation, Southern association, South Atlantic _ league, South Carolina league, Texas league, Georgia-Ala- bama league and Dixie league.

Chivington Will Call for a Meeting Chicago, Ill, Dec, 2,—President Thomas A. Chivington, of the Amer- ican association, issued a call tonight for the annual meeting of the asso- «ciation, to be held in Indianapolis, Ind., December 8. The chief question to be placed be- fore the club owners is the election of a president. There is reported to be opposition to the re-election of Mr. Chivington, and, although he will be a candidate to succeed himself he said he would not fight for the office. Norris L. (“Tip”) O'Neill, former president of the Western league, and Thomas Hickey, of St. Paul, have been suggested as probable i candis ates for the presidency. Hickey was the first president of the association. Try These at Rourke Park, But Be Ready to Dodge The rules and terms of base ball have been translated into, French in order to popularize the game among French speaking people. The faculty of Assumption college, at Worcester, Mass., has drawn up a manual to play in that language. The pitcher is a “lanceur,” the catcher a “receveur,” shortstop is a “blopuer.” Other places in the line- up are ‘indicated in the manual in this manner: First base, “premier but;” second base, “secondienne but;” third base, “troisieme but;” right field, “volti- guer a droite;” center field, “voltiguer au centre;” left field, gauche.” The seur.” Those who drew up the manual were assisted by a member of the faculty, who had seen base ball layed behind the battle lines in rance, and so made observations of the phrases used by French soldiers to desribe players and positions in the game.

There is much speculation as to what Ohio State, winner of the 191 thampionship, and Northwestern, runner-up, will ask in the way oi dates for next season.
