Visitors Spurt During the Final Period and Add Sixteen Points to String. CORNHUSKER TEAM TO PLAY AT CAMP FUN3TON.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have an urgent invitation from Ganaral Leonard A. Wood, in command at Camp Funtton, to play football with tha Camo Funtton team en Saturday, Dec. 14. The acceptance, however, it contingent on the approval of Captain Drake, New 8. A.

T. C. commandant at the University of Nebraska. The Funtton athletic department had been bidding for a Nebraska game for aeveral weeks and when word was wired Saturday' night that Gen. Wood has personally requested the Hutkers to make the trip to the Kansas cantonment to play for tha entertainment of the Soldiers in camo, Acting Director Seott and Head Coieh Klin decided to accept the invitation.

-A fourth -period spurt In which the Camp Dodge Divisional team reeled off two touchdowns and also drop-kicked a goal from the field gave he Soldiers a. 23 to 7 victory, over the I Cornhuskers yesterday on Nebraska I field. The soldier team had been decisively outplayed during; the three-(uarters of the combat and the Husk-era were, one point In the lead, but the Camp Dodge rally smothered Nebraska's aspirations and the final whistle' saw the Wuskera trudge from the field smarting from, a one-sided defeat. The Soldiers entered the beefiest team that had been seen in many years on Nebraska field. Despite the service team's advantage in poundage, the Huskers smashed their way down the field and apparently were on the way to a touchdown.

A cleverly executed forward pass for 25 yards, Howarth to Swanson, enabled Nebraska, to advance to within fifteen yards of the Camp Dodge goal, but a penalty for holding cost the Cornhuskers 15 yards of distance and halted their parade. Smith, the Camp Dodge fullback, promptly booted out of danger and his long spiral was muffled by Howarth, Nebraska's quarterback. The Soldiers swarmed down the field and Halfback Lvnch fell on the ball behind the Huskers' goal, thereby fretting credit for a touchdown. Movald missed the goal kick, but the Soldiers were out In front wlh a six- m-point leadi- although they -counted 'touchdown without having nego-. tiated a single firs down.

Huskers Lacked Punch in Pinch. The hopes of Nebraska rooters keyed high during the second period, -as- the Cornhuskers executed three long marches down the field, smashing their wayv to within the Camp Dodge five-yard line, yet they lacked the punch to drive through and cross the final chald line. One Nebraska advance even put the ball on the Soldiers' one-yard line, where the Cornhuskers attack weakened and Camp Bodge took the ball on downs. Hnlf- toack Lantz wa sthe main driving-rod of the Nebraska offensive, although Captain Hubka, Reynolds, Swanson, Howarth and Hartley took turns in battering their way through the beefy Soldiers' line. Balked in their efforts to score In the second period Husjters started the third quarter with a battering offensive which soon worked the ball to within 15 yards of the Soldiers' goal.

A Nebraska fumble gave he Soldiers possession of the ball and Fullback Smith retired behind his own goal line to punt out of danger. The Huskers forwards breke through and blocked the kick. A wild' scramble followed, but Rlghtguard Dana clutc'-ed the oval behind the Camp Dodge goal and Quarterback Howarth came through with a. successful goal kirk, netting the a one-point lead. vThen Cama the Deluge.

Nebraska's advantage was of brief duration, as theSoldlers-Staged a dazzling "come-back" during the final period of play. The individual performances of Quarterback Movald and Right Half Coughlln were the tnost potent factors In the Soldiers' triumph. A successful dropklck from tne 35-yard line by Moval added three points to the Camp Dodge total, While Coughlln later broke loose -fbr a pair of 'ouchdowns which sounded Nebraska's doom. A brilliant forward pass, Movald to Coughlln, followed by an electrifying 60-yard nin, counted Coughlln's first touchdown, while the second fesulted from a drive straight through the- line and subsequent sprint from the middle of the field. Howarth, playing safety for the Cornhuskers, had a clean shot at a tackle, hut Coughlln side-stepped the Nebraska quarterback and raced across the Nebraska goal.

In Illinois the movement la being fostered by Senator Richard J. liarr, republican lender In the state legisla ture, lie favors a bill that will permit ten-round, no-deelslon contests.

Chicago Interests are especially active in supporting thla measure. They hava tried regularly every two years, fine 1810, to have the sport countenanced by law, but whenever the matter came to the test In tha legislature) the influence of the churchly element proved rt-V.

They believe they have a splendid chance now to get the law through and they aie bending every effort to that end. iie defeat of cnaries wrtitman tor re-electlurt as governor of NeW York. state has removed the man mainly re sponsible the repeal of the Fraw-ley luw, under which boxing; was Con- ducted In the empire domain, snd. patrons, promoters and boxers alike, now think they can get fair consideration in their efforts to have a new law enacted. There waa little pros- I i v.

iiiw, no iuiii iiiiumh iy malned in the saddle. The successor of Whitman In the gubernatorial office In Al Smith, held by many to be a broad-minded man, who has been a boxing enthusiast In Ua Ita tw. a v. I I over old evils that wrecked the gam In New York state two years ago. While Whitman held office the stench arose over the loose methods prevailing In the auoervlalon of the sport by the state boxing commission, and this even tually ouinunsioa in me removal oi um chairman, Fred Wenck.

Another thing that Irritated Whitman exceedingly waa tha bitter criticism that followed his e- tlon in barring the late Dea Darcy from engaging In a boaing matoh at New York City. Whitman claimed Darcy was a slacker and had fled from Australia to eacape military aervice. Tha charge la made that Whitman attempted to get tha a-avernora of other states to UK similar action against tne Antipodean. When Darcy died at Memphis. 1 tne storm of criticism broke on Whltraaaand he felt this keenly.

For that reason there never wuld have been much chance to restore boxing in New York as long as he remained in of lice, but now thai he is out of It conditions are more favor able for those who like the sport. If It should come to pass that the' game la In New York and Illi nois then the promoters In all the states wherein the sport Is permitted ought to take some action looking to the eatah lishmant of a national association that will firmly oontrol not only tha promoters but the boxers as well. Unless thla done the boxing game will wabble along uncertainly lust as it la doing In Ulnae-sola and Wisconsin, The fall season ia now well under way. yet no attempts hava been madd to open up In the Gopher commonwealth. The promoters at the Twin Citlea have found It impossible to ao ausineaa with tne money-mad scrappers, so for that reason they are keeping their doora closed.

in Wisconsin, tne epinomio or upanisn Influents contributed mainly to a backward atart In the promotion of the sport, but- the outlook la not bright because the matchmakers are held up for guarantees oalled topnotchera. This makes It Impossible to operate. If the clubs gave the big guarantees asked them they would have to force the fana to pay a higher ticket scale than the entertainment Is worth, and this would cause gen. oral dissatisfaction. Truly the promoters are between two mill stones; on the on side la ths avaricious scrappers and on the other Is a ptibllo that must be kept satisfied.

Few- I'iuiiiuiqi. ill una uuuuiijr luuuu Jl possible to solve the problem they are. up against. A national association that would curb the demands of the boxers and compel them to give patrons a fair return In services for the money they receive would stimulate the rslng game in this country. Also It would exercise control over the champions, and eliminate that puhllc-be-damned attitude which the title holders now generally assume.

In other countries where boxing Is a national form of entertainment, there are strict rules by which the acrappers and the promoters are kept under control. In England, France and Australia, Cham-piona must defend their titles once every six months, or forfeit to bona flde chal- lengers. These foreign boxing associations also set the weights at which the championship bouts In tho various classes alutll be contested and also make the rules under which tha matches are fought. The weights In the three countries nam ere -are uniform and this eliminates much coniusion In the united States, where there Is bo national body in control of boing, no scale of weights and no uniform rule, thure Is a condition that borders on chsos. Champions refuse to box unless' they receive extravagant purses, and some of them refuse to box at all unleee they are assured of an easy mark who will make little resistance or attack.

State boxing commissions have eHnt- Inated many of the evils that formerly beset the sport, but these necessarily are limited in scope. They cannot have the power that a national association would have. The establishment of a national body la not beyom the realm of possibilities. It can be brought about If the promoters will cooperate. They attempted to do this some years ago and the project proved a bloomer, but that does not mean It will alwaya fall.

The text bookn strongly advice against original leads from tenace suits, such as those headed by nee queen, ace jack, king Jnclt or queen ten.

They 'are equally useful in bridge, but only under certain conditions. The player who hues a tenace until its useful ness is pant Is much more ape to lose than the one who sacrifices Its chancejs to make sure of at lest one trick.
