City detectives meandered thru the crowd outside the Ohio State Fairgrounds coliseum Saturday night seeking sellers of counterfeit tickets to the state high school basketball finals. H.

W. Emswiler, state high school athletic commissioner, said many holders of counterfeit tickets were in the crowd of 8,468 which saw the Saturday afternoon Class finals. Just hovr many of the bogus tickets wera sold outside the coliseum, Emswiler declined to estimate. But he said it might be a sizable figure. TAILORED CLOTHES laqs ii a US ijM mtrr 5 MEN 5 THE KINO AT THE SAME TIME I May Be Wrong By Wall Dobbin Altho he proudly claims himself as a Nebraskan, and rightly no, the record books show that Arthur C.

"Dazzy" Vance was born in Des Moines, on March 4, 1893. That would make the one-time strikeout king of the National league 57 years old and 29 when he hooked on with the Brjoklyn Dodgers in 1922. Dazzy's first professional experience, however, was in the old Nebraska State league in 1914. In 1915 he won 17 games and lost only four, for Hastings, a feat tht gained him a brief trial with the Yankees and Pittsburgh the following year. He finally wound up with St Joseph in the Western where he copped 17 victories while losing 15 decisions.

He struck out 199 batters. The next season found "The Daziler" with Toledo in the "American Association and during the war years be was with Memphis and Rochester. He landed with Sacramento In 1919 and was back in Memphis In 1920. He finished with New Orleans and stayed with the Pelicans thru the 1921 season, fanning 163 hitters. That effort cave him a trial with Brooklyn.

While in the National league, Vance led the loop for seven successive seasons in strikeouts, hitting his peak with 262 whiffings in 1924. In two consecutive games he fanned a total of 25 batters, turning the trick twice, once in 1926 and again in 1928. He pitched a no-hitter against the Phillies on Sept. 13, 1925 and was named the National league's most valuable player in 1924. Daszy.who now resides in Florida and has a respectable bankroll, stiU likes to talk baseball.

His pet gripe is the reference to some of the current chuckers as being old and all washettTipxat 29 summers. Talking to jack Carberry of Denver the ottfer day in Lakeland, Vance asserted, "I'm going to tell you something that I've never told before. I know this does not appear in the records but the records were a little mixed up when I went into baseball and I Just never bothered to correct them. But I had passed my 31st birthday when I joined the Brooklyn club. (The records said he was 29).

I was 45 years old when I was still going out there taking my regular turn. "That's a gospel fact and there is a birth certificate out In Nebraska to prove it. (We wonder if Dazzy was born in Jowa as the baseball records state). "I want to tell yon some- thing about pitchers. Pitchers are no good until they are about 28 or 29 years old.

It takes them that long to learn how to pitch. The trouble Is that by the time thry have become rood chuckers they have started to lose their stuff and that makei some of them think they are thru I got along better when I was about 37. When you get old yon are pitching with your head, you know all the tricks of the trade, and all the batter weaknesses. They all hsve some." Vance admitted that some of the boys got a little wise as to his correct age and they would ask him how come he was so sturdy and sound. "1 would tell 'em I came from Nebraska, "Dazy related to Car- berry, "and I'd tell them that it I was the Nebraska climate that I made sound fellows out of me i and old Pete Alexander, who must have been pitching when he was 45, too.

"I'd say, 'Son, when yon live in Nebraska you Just get healthy. I'd tell 'em about the time I went dock hnntlng on my place. I saw a whole flock of ducks on the lake. There must have been two or three hundred of 'em. Well, I tipped my gun and let go a bist.

Well, yon know what hap-pend? Them ducks lit on the lake and their feet froze in. TheT were stuck there.

With Mohr on the state champions' all-opponent club are Jim Ray, Boys Town's sharpshooting forward, and Lee Nelson, Omaha North's center, who bagged 14 points against the Rockets. Ray cracked the NE defense for 24 tallies.

They are placed at the forward spots. Larry Knee, Lincoln high center, was placed at guard with Dick Oberg of Hastings. Knee collected 12 points against Northeast as the Links fell, 42-33. Oberg led Hastings against the Rockets with ten as the Tigers lost, 58-30. 4 BIG BOUTS!

Coach Bill Glassford's Corn-huskers showed "a little Improvement" as the Scarlet defeated the Cream, 40-0, Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium in an intrasquad game.

It was the second win of the spring practice for the Scarlet club. The Cream was beaten last Saturday, 20-0. Glassford commented after the drill which ended the fourth week of the six week period that "the execution of plays was poor but we did show some improvement. "We still haven't been able to master our downf ield blocking. We are starting to get men downfield but most of the time they are at the wrong place at the wrong time." The drill did show that the Huskers will rely heavily on the passing of Fran Nagle next fall.

The West Lynn, quarterback, completed passes for the first two touchdowns and his tosses were instrumental In all of the others. FRANK SIMON blocked Bill Wingender's punt on the Cream 25 early in the first quarter to get the Scarlet started. A 15-yard clipping penalty set the Scarlet back and Ron Clark finally punted ont of bounds on the Cream five. After Quarterback Dutch Meyer had led the Cream to a first down on the 16 the attack sputtered and Wingender punted dead on the White 40 against a strong wind. On the first play for the Scar let Nagle tossed to Dick Kegier, who took the ball on the to and went over standing up.

On the extra point try the ball was fumbled and Nagle, who did all of the place kicking, picked it up and skirted right end for the conversion. THERE WERE no knickoffs in the game, Glassford giving the ball to the Cream on its own 35. Again the attack bogged and Wingender punted out on the White 47. Nagte pitched to- Regier for nine yards. Jerry Ferguson raced to a first down on the 29 and Bill Mueller dashed around left end to the 21.

Mueller then took a strike from Nagel right on the goal line. NaPle's extra point try wag good. There was no scoring in the second quarter altho the Scarlet did manage to get to the Cream 20 before a fumble in the back-field lost the ball. IN THE third period the Scarlets got to the Cream 16 but Clark fumbled and the Creams recovered. However, on the next play the Creams fumbled and Verl Scott grabbed it for the Scarlet on the Cream 22.

Clark picked up seven before Mueller cut around right end for the score. Nagle's kick wag no good. After a Cream drive stalled on the Scarlet 40, the winners put on their best drive of the day on the ground. Bob Schreiner ran off tackle for a first down on the Cream 48. Mueller made 22 on a quirk oo-nrr and Ferguson got to the Cream 18.

Mueller picked up 12 more yards and a first down on tne Cream six. Schrefner went over right tackle to score standing up. Nagle failed to convert. AS THE fourth quarter opened Dick Goeglein snared a fumble on the Cream 38. Nagle tossed to George Paynlch who made a diving catch on the six.

Nick Adduci carried it over fn two tries. Nagle split the uprights and it was 33-0. After a series of Cream plays failed to pick up a first down, the Scarlet took over on their own 38. They carried to the three where a fumble halted the drive. Chuck Buehrer punted out and the Scarlet had the ball on the Cream 28.

Mueller made eight and Ferguson addrd seven for a first down on the 13. Adduci rammed for three and Nagle car-rlrd on to the two on a quar terback sneak. Adduci went over in two attempts. Nagle's kirk was good. The came ended a short while later but Glassford continued working, giving the ball to his red-shirts twice to see if they could score.

They did. Ferguson made a 17-yard gallop for one I and Clark drove over from the I Art DEAD END COMING CP Scarlet Fullback Nick Adduci, 32, is about to be halted by Cream End Rich Novak, 50, in the intrasquad spring game Saturday.

Dammit, before this thing sounds further like a travelogue, we must remind ourselves we're down here to cover spring training for the 1950 Lincoln Athletics.

And best of all, we have a breakfast meeting with the smiling gentleman at the helm, James Brooklyn DeShong. There will be a Monday afternoon conference with the very busy Mr. Ehlers. And last, but by no means least, we hope to catch up Monday night with an 88-year-old youngster namd Connie Mark. After making those rounds, we'll have something to report.

Joe Louis, who 'ruled boxing for almost 11 years and retired undefeated, said Saturday he will hang up the gloves for good after a South American exhibition tour. The Brown Bomber said instead of fighting he will join Dailcy Brothers circus to demonstrate ring tactics at $1,000 a day. He said he will not, as expected in many quarters, challenge Ezzard Charles, who succeeded him as world's heavyweight champion. He added he will even quit fighting exhibitions after this year. LOUIS retired as champion March 1, 1948, but ever since then there has been talk that he would make a comeback.

He himself intimated on numerous occasions that he would like to have one last fight with the idea of beating Charles and becoming the only man in ring history to accomplish such a feat. But Saturday a somewhat weary Louis said he really didn't want to fight Charles and that if he did there wouldn't be enough money in it. He also said that the idea of the gruelling training routine he would have to go thru for such a fight was a major barrier. Louis will be with the circus for 94 days, starting May 24, in a tour of Canada. But first he will go to South America on an exhibition tour, leaving in about ten days, LOUIS, in a statement to reporters, thanked the public, press and radio for their support in his ring, career.

"I never would have gotten anywhere without you boys," he told the newspapermen. Joe said that If he had derided on a fieht with Charles he would have asked 35 per cent of the gate. "That wouldn't work," he added. "You know, fighters only set 60 percent and Charles would have had to fight for less than me, and him the champion." Louis said a 1 s' next worthy opponent for the title would be Roland LaStarza or Rocky Marciano, who fought Friday night in Madison Square Carrien, New York, Marciano winning a decision. He said he anticipated a re- turn bout and that one of the i two would by September become i the logical contender for Charles crown.

Louis said he had seen no one along his tour who would be capable of meeting Charles. LOUIS, in his boxing career, was in 54 amateur bouts, winning 50, and had over 60 pro fights, losing only one to Max Schmellng. Louis now weighs 225 pounds. He said If he had decided to-return to the ring he could get into proper condition in "two months." started flapping their wings and they took the lake along with 'em. I kept running under the lake.
