— Olympics Play Fast Ball to Win Outweighed hy Minneapolis Team, Still Take Long End of Score. There was a footbally game. And it ' is a real game. Tile Olympics took the long end of tho 214 to 0 score. And they took It with playing that brought the eus t rs to their feet time after time. i id Purdy, diminutive streak, play la;; at quarterback, nearly broke up the game. Pid was a little unfair. Every time there was an occasion to kick the ball he booted it behind the opposing team’s goal line. The M nneapolis Llbertys, as the other 11 men called themselves, were unable to drive a |«*tit more than half way down the field. Pid has promised to be more careful next time, though. The game was fast and clean. Spec tators declared that it was one of the cleanest games of professional football that they had ever seen in Omaha. At the start of the game the Olym pics kicked off to the Liberty team. With a series of brilliant line plunges the ball was advanced down the field, only to be lost on a fumble. The Olympics fought along with the ball for a time, bucking into the line, then they lost the ball on a fumble. And that Is the way that quarter went. Neither team seemed to be able to hold on to the ball and the quarter ended without scoring one either side. It was the Olympics’ ball when the second quarter started and they be gan to drive down the field. The Liberty line held like a wall and it looked as though the Olympics would lose the ball on downs. Then Swanson sneaked out around end and Pid Pur dy shot the ball to him. The pass was successful and the ball, after Swanson was downed, rested on the Liberty two-yard line. On the next play Shanahan carried the ball and crashed through the line for the first touchdown. Purdy drop-kicked goal and the score stood, Olympics, 7; Liberty, 0. The rest of the quarter was Just good, fast football. The Minneapolis team advanced the hall down the field, hut the Olympics contested every foot of the ground. Several times the Minneapolis team was forced to punt after they had taken the ball yards down the field. They were weak punters and the ball would be returned from 10 to 30 yards by the Olympics before they could be stopped. jruruyv never iieBiuaicu nu.n. m i tiny point of the game. When the bail was in dangerous territory, Pur dy kicked It out. Only once did he fall to drive the pigskin over the goal line and even that one time it sailed mo e »!' >i co • ards throne'! the a!r. Once the Minneapolis players were able to threaten the Omaha goal. They catr id the ball down the field in a series of briliant line smashes. The Intel fei ence was perfect on every play and it was up to the Olympic backfield to stop each rush. They stopped them eventually but yards were gained each time. There were three downs and two yards to go to make a first down. The first down would put Minneapolis on Omaha’s one foot line. A plunge through right tackle, the linesmen rushed on to the field and It was a first down toy inches. That was the Liberty team’s one chance to score. It looked for a mo ment as though they couldn't fail. Doc Berg, their coach, yelled “Make that score or you'll all walk home,’* and they bucked into the line. Tho ball went over but the player carry ing It fumbled and the Olympics fell all over It. With that fumble the chances of Minneapolis went glimmer ing. They never got close enough to the goal line to make things Inter esting again. The play remained pretty well In the middle of the field then for a time. At last Omaha received the pigskin on a punt and began to dr.ve for the goal line. Tho Minneapolis line held and In three downs Omaha failed to gain two yards. Then Pur dy passed to Swanson, 30 yards, behind the goal post, and Omaha scored again. Purdy missed the try for point and the score stood Olympics 13, Minne apolis 0. From then on the play was fast. Minneapolis fought to score at least one touchdown and Omaha fought to stop them. Omaha was successful. k|r Minneapolis fumbled the ball In a scrimmage play on their 26-yard line and Shanahan grabbed it as It fell, lie turned and ran the length of the field for Omaha's f.nal score. The score then stood Olympics 20 Minneapolis 0 and four minutes to play. The four minutes went rapidly. Minneapolis bucked the line, tried aerial work and did everything else to gain ground but got nowhere. On their passing they were held for downs on three passes. Incomplete. The game ended with the ball la the middle of the field. The lineup: <>1\ ninlen Position MlnneapolU Hwannon ........ I- E. ..KtisOnK , ,, ,. y .I.. T. . .I .oven 1m., w » rt .L. (1.

IMC. //*5 _, Zev, My Own and Rialto Will Not Be Missed in Big Pimlico Event Renewal of Bowie Race May Call Many Prominent Thor oughbreds to Maryland Track, but None of the “Big Three” Are Expected or Wanted. Baltimore, Md,, Nov. 4.—Possibly neither Zev nor My Own nor Dialto, which were in the Latonia Champion ship stakes Saturday, will be a par ticipant In the renewal at Pimlico of the historic I}owle, Tu-sday, a gallop of a mile and a half for 3-year-olds and over, which has been a salient feature of Maryland racing ever since the racing was reorganized here some 18 years ago. These 3-year olds are all Bowie ellglbles and, having raced over a distance of ground recently, are sea soned. But not even the winner’s end of the $10,000 purse Is apt to tempt their tralnera to bring them back undrer colors so quickly. The Bowie will do well enough without them and will develop an entirely new deal In distance run ning in the enst. It will bring Hal Price Headley's Chacolet, Henry Al terman's Home Stretch, Commander J. K. L. Ross' Maxlmac, and pos sibly also Harry Payne Whitney's Bunting, Flagstaff and Enchant ment, and Mrs. Payne Whitneys Damask, together with other horses, at a distance all of them alike. Damask, winner of last season's Manly Memorial steeplechase, fell last Tuesday in this season's revival of the famous event, but that need not prevent his starting In the Bowie. Damask was some distance runner before he turntd Jumper last season. In the autumn r*up at Belmont park he made Exterminator, no less. lower the American competitive record for two miles to 4:21 4-5, to beat him a whisker. In the second Latonia championship he finished third to Cleopatra and On Watch, beating the redoubtable John P. Greer. Man o’ War’s most formidable 3 year-old colt rival In 1920. Damask raced on the flat at Toronto In September. But It Is more with Chacolet and Home Stretch than with the other potential starters that racing Is con cerned. These formidable distance runners, the former a 6 year-old Eng lish bred daughter of Stamant, he the Epsom derby winner of 1904 under the silks of Leopold d<4 Rothschild the latter a Lon glsland-hred son of Bard of Hope and Star of Runny mode, have developed a rivalry that racing expects to see settled In the Bowie handicap and the Pimlico cup The Pimlico cup. another $10,000 race, will be renewed a week from Monday. Chacolet, a fine chunk of a mare, did not get anybody in the east ex cited last August by what she did at Saratoga. Rather, did her failure to accomplish anything worth while create the Impression that she did not call for much. But after re turning to Kentucky she began to point up as mares will In the fall. On October 6 she ustonished the country by winning the $50,000 Ken tucky special Inaugural, a race of one mile and three-sixteenths that brought to the post at Latonia a bunch of the best handlcappers, My Own and Zev excepted, then avail able. Zev and My Own were then training through the first three weeks of October for the $100,000 Interna tional race of October 20, against Papyrus. Zev being selected. Racing was Inclined to discount the performance of Chacole* n the Ken tucky special, notwlth: landing she galloped the mile and three-sixteenths In 1:56 3 5, the mile and a furlong In 1.50, because she had only 103 pounds aboard. The 3 year-old In Mcnvorlam. conqueror of Zev and My Own and Rialto in the LatonTX championship Saturday, finished second, waiving his age allowance and giving her 10 pounds. Nor was her subsequent victory In the Latonia cup ,» gallop of two miles and a quarter, convinc ing. She did not beat much. But at Pimlico she proved she was a weight packer as well ns a distance runner by taking up 126 pounds and heating Hunqiiest, under a catch, easily, In a race of a mile and a sixteenth Home Stretch confirmed his Jockey i 1) gold cup form at Belmont Park in September by meeting and defeat ing a field of the smartest 2-year olds In the. Pimlico autumn handicap, a gallop of a mile and a quarter. Home Stretch raced brilliantly, being last In a field of 10 *a he turned out of the hack stretch, and then shouldering his way forward In the big turn, he caught Gadfly, the pacemaker, a furlong out and won going away. The gold cup distance, two miles, was more to his liking, us the long gallop gave him a chance to settle at leisure into his stride and then pick up opponents. The Bowie mile and a half will he more like the Jockey club gold cup. The Pimlico cup two miles and a quarter will be better still. Home Stretch was never fitter than he Is right now. Chacolet's Bowie cup hurden will be 122 pounds; Home Stretch's 111. The Pimlico handicapper appears to me to have held Home Stretch a little cheap ly. His original assignment to him was lftS pounds. Home Stretch's vic tory In the Pimlico autumn handicap, a race that paid him a greater sum than $1,500. entailed a penalty of three pounds. Crops Good in Southwest Forth Worth, Tex.. Nov. 4.—The era of prosperity being enjoyed in the southwest is due directly to the good condition of crops and markets, according to Edwin Gould, of New York, chairman of the board of di rectors of the St. Louis Southwest ern railroad. Gould Is touring Texas In the interests of his carrier. "With the splendid crop condition, the high price of cotton, stimulated lumber trade and general business activity, prosperity should continue indefinitely." Gould said. "This es pecially is true of the southern Texas area." Many improvements in the physi cal properties of the Cotton Belt system, subsidiary of the St. Louis Southwestern line, w< re promised by Gould, Including conversion of all coal-burning locomotives into the on burning type.

Kansas City, Nov. 4.—Drake uni versity by its easy defeat of Ames Saturday holds the undisputed lead ership of the Missouri Valley con ference, being the only institution in the valley with an unspotted rec ord. Kansas in downing Oklahoma, 7 to 3, for the first Jayhawker vic tory of the year, was lifted from the bottom to a tie with Nebraska in second place. Neither Kansas nor Nebraska has tasted defeat, but the records of both are marred by tie games. Missouri, after holding the Corn huskers to a tie a week ago, broke into the win column Saturday by besting the Kansas Aggies in a mud battle by the narrow margin of one safety. The Iowa Slate team, with victories over Missouri and Washington uni versity to its credit, and a tie with the Kansas Aggies, proved unable to cope with {he brilliant work of Hill Uoelter, captain of the Drake aggregation, who tallied two touch downs on dazzling end runs and paved the way for the other Drako counter by his smashes down the field. The score was Drake 21; Ames 0. Not only has Drake won all of its engagements this season, but it has yet to be scored on. The Des Moines team started off b> tumbling the Rolla (Missouri) School of Mines, 54 to 0, and then over whelmed Grinnell, 41 to 0. Kansas and Oklahoma remain the hurdles which the leaders must negotiate to end the year In undisputed posses sion of the Valley championship. Washington wpnt outside the con ference Saturday to register its first win by defeating Drury college, 6 to 0. Nebraska rested up in preparation for its contest next Saturday with Coach Rocknc's Notre Dame stars and Grinnell also was idle. This week will see Oklahoma and Missouri clash at Columbia, Wash Ington and Kansas at Dawrence, thr Kansas Aggies and Grinnell at Grin nell, while Drake takes on Coe„ a nonconfrrence school.

Eeach of tha three on Saturday clashed with mighty foes, Cornell encountered tha then unbeaten Dart mouth eleven and came away with a 32 to 7 victory. Yale overwhelmed the powerful Army team. 31 to 10. and Syracuse broke the clean record of the Penn State eleen by the score of 10 to 0. By their victories Cor nell. Ya’.e and Syracuse retnam as the only b g eastern teams victorious in all games played. Three other elevens, Rutgers. West Virginia and Washington and Jeffer son have vet to taste defeat hut In each instance a tie score shows on its record and its standing is thereby lowered. Dartmouth's clean rut victory over Harvard the previous week lead to predictions of a close tattle with Cornell. Had the Green exhibited the same errorless play it showed against Harvard that prediction might have materialized. But on Saturday Dart mouth was guilty of costly fumbl.ng. wild passing and faulty generalship, and Cornell's alert eleven transported surh misplays into scores. Yale enthusiasms are freely predict ing the long awaited "Yale year" is at hand, for in d-wning the army, the Blue played as no Yale team has s nee pre war times. The traditional bull dog spirit, which served them in twice overcoming Army leads: a sturdinees and brilliance in individ uals comb ned with a sound and well ordered atack. made the cadets ap pear helpless in the second half. The fact that Notie Dame's briliant eleven could total but 13 points against the Army, whereas Yale piled up 31 is regarded as significant of the Elis power. • Stalwart defense that held in chock the powerful offense of Penrr State, and the ability of halback McBride of Syracuse to score on two hig op portunities that came to his team, once by a touchdown and again by a placement goal, stood Syracuse in good stead in its bitter tattle with the Nittany Lions. The defeat of Pen State, the whip ping of Dartmouth and the defeat of Tufts by Harvard served to remove three of the’ hitherto undefeated elev ens front the "list of poalble eastern champions. Of particular s bnifienne wil he the Princeton and Harvard games Satur day, for this week finds these ancient rivals meeting at Princeton in the f.rst game of the 1323 big three series.
