A 1910 graduate of the Tni- versity of Nebraska, Beltzer played professional baseball with Connie Philadelphia Athletics and also in the minor leagues. With his brother, Jim, Beltzer played with and later owned the famed Nebraska Indians semi-pro baseball team which toured the state in the early years of the 20th century.

Ruskin started out with an 8 -man football schedule, but then only 14 boys enrolled in school. One transferred to New Mexico. That left 13.

Another became student manager (always a necessity). That left 12. Before the season opened, freshman Ray Biltoft suffered a dislocated kneecap and torn ligaments. That left only 11 Then came a 31-0 opening loss to Chester. In the game, junior Norman Liper got a foot injury and soph Dennis Biltoft broke a collar bone.

Only 9 now. You can hardly play 8 -man football with only 9 players. At least, not very well. Ruskin cancelled its 8 -man games and is trying to line up 6 -man contests.

Revenge For Beatrice Ace Adds Riddington: Hohn will surely have the last laugh for it will take the entire Bengal squads to halt the brilliant senior athlete in track and basketball and it will perhaps be a good many years before the mob at Falls City will have a Bengal athlete as good as the Beatrice Al has a point, there, alright. Piling on help at all in track, and very little in basketball. And there is little question that Hohn is one of the finest athletes in the state.
