One of the biggest question marks of the state basketball season will be settled Friday evening when Lincoln high, always a serious contender if not the champion, will turn loose its 1936-37 array against Omaha Central on the Whittier court.

A reserve game between the two schools will serve as a curtain raiser. For the past two weeks Coach Ralph Beechner, coaching a Red and Black team for the first time, has been sending his picked squad of 15 thru strenuous drills that have lasted until supper time, and the hard work is at last returning him a club that will be hard to stop. Beechner closed last week's drills with a regulation game with the reserves, which the first five won 46 to 13.

There should be plenty of fireworks in all directions when the annual state boxing tournament opens Wednesday at the Y.

M.C.A., but the featherweight class especially promises to be one big explosion. Entries thus far insure at least three topnotchers, with several more expected before ring time. The tourney opens at 8 both nights, and admission is 40 cents. The feature feather card presents Linus Shipps and Bud Wolfe, who tangled on the recent Y. M.

dual match and gave one of the best bouts of the evening before Shipps took an upset victory Taking a back seat to neither is Venter of the and the title is a tossup among the three. Also on the list of Lincoln entries received by Tourney Director Harold Matthews are Charley and Ralph Miegel, in the light and welter classes, respectively. Both are rated favorites, alt ho Gail Anderson promises Ralph a tough scrap in the heavier bracket. Elmer and Lloyd Showalter, also in the Y. M.

dual, have also entered, along with Ken and Marine Boulier of Cedar Bluffs. Al Burleigh and Jack Hall lead the heavyweight entrants, while BY EDDIE BRIETZ. NEW YORK. CD, It looks like a merry Christmas for Max Schmoling. He got his first present Saturday in the form of a title fight with James J.

Braddock. Almost before the gallery realized what was going on, the New York state athletic commission got the two fighters together and signed them for a 15 round championship battle in Madison Square Garden's Long Island bowl next June 3. The garden and the 20th Century sporting club will be joint promoters. The contracts call for Braddock to receive 37 1-2 percent and Schmeling 12 1-2 percent of the gate, but private agreements will raise these figures to 42 and 20 percent, respectively. In sharp contrast to bitter wrangling, session was a love feast.

It required less than an hour to reach an agreement. Braddock and his manager, Joe Gould, made the match possible by turning their backs on Atlantic City and promising not to fight Joe. Louis prior to June 3. The champion's flat refusal to do this brought about squabble. No Louis Fight.

Mike Jacobs, 20th Century club promoter, who was to have been associated with Herman Taylor of Philadelphia in staging the show, said developments automatically cancel proposed decision meeting with the Brown Bomber In February. A clause that neither Braddock nor Schmeling is to meet Louis before the June fight was inserted in the contracts signed today, in addition to a stipulation that the BY WALTER E. DOBBINS.

This year marks the first time in the history of the East-West game that three Nebraskans have been chosen Rltho the Scarlet squad has been honored each year since 1927 Ed Weir was the first Husker to be nominated, but was not permitted to play on account of a conference ruling.

In 1928 Blue Howell and Dan McMullen played an important part In the annual game, the funds of which go to support a Shrine hospital for crippled children. Ray Richards, tackle and Clair Sloan, halfback, represented the Comhuskers in 1929 and the following season Elmer Greenberg, guard and Marion Broadstone, taekle, got the call. Chick Justice and Dutch Koster, both guards, were cogs in the West machine in 1931 while in 1932 Lawrence Ely, center and Steve Hokuf, end.
