Hilltoppers Take Aggie Game. 13-2 Begin to Play Real Football in Last Half. By KAIJ’ll WAGNER. Stillwater, Okl., Nov. 25.—Coming back In the second half with a rush the Creighton university football eleven of Omaha overcame the two point lead of the Oklahoma A. and M. team here Saturday and defeat ed the Aggies by the score of 13 to 2, before a large homecoming crowd. Outplayed, but not outgamed, the Creighton grldsters tvere given the fight of their lives during the first half. The Aggies carried the ball un der the shadows of the Blue goal posts three times during the initial periods, but only once, in the second quarter, were they able to put over any tallies, and that happened when a bad pass from Nolan to Mahoney rolled over the Creighton goal line for a safety. From the start of the second half to the finish Coach Chet Wynne's eleven outplayed, outpassed and outfought the farmers. Creighton Scores Naar End of Game. It was a different Creighton team that lined up against the Aggies in the second half, eleven footballers in stilled with fight and the one big thought in their mind of snatching victory from the arms of the Okla homa Sodbusters, It was not until the last quarter that Creighton put over a touchdown, but when the opportunity presented itself the Blue and White of Omaha was right on the job. The first touchdown came soon after the start of the fourth quarter, when Lower, running per fect interference around right end, galloped over the chalk mark from the forward line. The second touchdown came a few minutes later, when Tower, ripping, tearing and dodging the entire Okla homa team, reeled off 40 yards for a score. It was a pretty run. This speedly little Creighton halfback ran behind his interference until they got their man and then decided to go the rest of the journey by himself. He dodged and squirmed through six Farmer gridsters, shaking off two tacklers in his race for a touchdown. Play on Even Terms. That the first half was pretty well balanced is shown by the statistics. Creighton made 66 yards in scrim mage and the Aggies 58. The Blue only tried two passes,.and they were intercepted, while the local eleven attempted 15, four of which were completed, for a total of 58 yards, and two were intercepted, leaving nine Incomplete. In the second half it was all Creighton. The Nebras kan's registered 170 yards in scrim mage, to the 70 made by Oklahoma. It was not until the final minute of play that the Farmers made any gains through the Creighton forward wall. Creighton tried four passes, two being completed for 26 yards, and one being intercepted and an other incomplete. Oklahoma resort ed to the aerial game in Its last ef fort to cross the Creighton goal line, but of the eight passes attempt ed by the Sodbusters, three were connected for 37 yards and five were grounded by the enemy. Line Weak in First Half. The Creighton line appeared weak in the first half and the interference given the man carrying the ball was not anything to brag about. But in the second half it was an entirely different story. The line held like a 'stone wall and tlie interference was there when needed, which was often. Soon after the game started Rogers of the Aggies intercepted a Creighton pass on his 26-yard line. The Farmers smashed tlie Blue line and played the wings until they reached the Creigh ton 10-yard line, where the Nebrask ans held, and took the ball on downs. Creighton took the ball, and after gaining 13 yards, was slapped on the back with a 15-yard penalty. Ma honey kicked to the Aggies on his 35-yard line and the Farmers marched down to the Creighton 17-yard line, where a pass, intended for Hasbrook, was intercepted by Hickey, Creighton quarter, who returned eight yards be f re being downed. Klim hie Recovered. Just before the quarter ended Gayer recovered an Oklahoma fumble on thel Aggies' 28yard line. A pass was grounded. The Nebraskans were given the Imll on Oklahoma's 18-yard line because of Aggie Interference. Two line plays gained and Mahoney fumbled. Keen recovering for the Farmer*. After an exchange of punts tlie Aggies got the hall. and. follow ing a series of passes, two of which were completed, the Aggie* kicked to Creighton's five yard line. Mahoney runts. Mahoney dropped back and punted to Hasbrook. who returned the ball to Creighton's 35-yard line. On an attempted run. Mahoney broke through the Oklahoma wall and spilled Kchacher for a 14 yard loss, but oil the next piny, a pass. Gaddis to Seller, the Farmers made 25 yards, and again Joy ran through the large crowd. This flipped the Aggies In a dangerous position, but three passes were Incomplete, the third going over the goal line. Creighton put the ball in play on Its own 20-yard line. Jde Hi hracher slipped while running left md and failed In gain. Then came Nolan's bad pass to Ike Mahoney. The ball rolled on the ground and over the goal line. The ( reighton left end bounced on the pigskin over Ills own chalk mark for a safety, the only points credited to Oklahoma. Art Cogan was substituted for No lan after the latter tough break and played a whale of a game at break ing up the enemy passes. His pass ing was good, too. After scoring a safety. Creighton put the ball In play on the 30 yard line. Cower hit the line for two yards and In an attempt to get out of trouble, Mahoney shot a pass intended for Cower. Seller managed to Intercept the flip snd re turned six yards to Creightons 39 yard line, where play stopped for the first half. The Aggies kicked off to start the final half and Creighton started to work- The kickoff went over the goal line and the Mine started In mo Mon on its own 20 yard line, enable to gain much headway, Mahoney kicked to Hasbrook on the Aggies' I EDDIE’S FRIENDS When the High Curd Wins J AKiD I DROPPER OUT K\W opemers Mis old aide!

The Oklahoma half back fumbled the ball after the catch and Art Logan, always Johnny on the spot, bounced on the leather. A pass, Mahoney to Spreicher, put the ball on the 29-yard line and an other flip, Hackey to Mahoney, was good for 15 yards and put the pigskin on the 13-yard mark. Lower, on twi attempts of tackle plunges, hung up five yards and then a pass was in complete. The Farmers were fight ing and their line was holding. Creighton was unable to go forward and lost the ball on downs. Higgins, who had shown great ability at re turning punts all afternoon, booted his team opt of danger, and little Hickey returned 18 yards down the center of the field. Bertoglio threw himself in front of the line and gained 70 yards. Again he hit the Aggies and chalked up two more yards for his trouble. Hickey made a couple more and Creighton earned a first down. Lower added two more and Speicher circled left end for 15 yards, placing the ball on the 10-yard line. Bertoglio and Lower were good for gains and a pass from the six-yard line was Intercept ed by Schacher. Gaddis Kirks. Again Gaddis kicked out df danger, this time to Creighton on the Okla homa 30-yard line. Three times Ber toglio hit the line, gaining ground on each attempt. His three smashes ad vanced Creighton to the 20-yard line and I.ower, Spelcher and Hickey chalked up 11 yards Bertogho plowed through center to the four yard line, and Hickey hit the line, but it wouldn't give. With one down and four yards from goal, Hickey called for a run around right end. Lower took leather, fol lowing good interference, and went over for the first touchdown. Ma honey failed to kick. After the kick off Oklahoma received the ball on a punt and started passing right and left. A pass. Gaddi# to Hasbrook. was good for 14 yards and placed the bail on the Blue four-yard line. Schacher made two yards in ss many attempts and Bsslinger lost ground. A pass failed an.I Creighton took the ball on downs on their own 20-yard line. Another exchange of punt gave the Aggies the ball and again they started forward passing, but so well were the Blue grldsters drilled In breaking up flips that not one waa completed and Gaddis was forced to punt. His kick sailed out of bound* in the center of the field. Creighton pns»ed the ball to play and Joe Specher clipped off eight yards in dandy style. The Aggies prepared themselves for a pass, but Lower, after faking a flip followed his Interference around right end and raced 40 yards for a touchdown. Mahoney added the extra point and Creighton completed It* scoring the afternoon. To pick out the star of the Creighton eleven would be a hard job. The entire team played well, especially the backfleld and Logan. Kean, McAleer, Van Ackeran and Benolken on the line. Lower Makes 40-Yard Kttn. Lower's running was spectacular and hi# gallop of 40 yards Is the talk of this little college town Hpelcher got away for some good gains. He sub sltuted for Leupke early In the game when the latter was Injured. The playing of Oklahoma waa a com plete surprise to Ctelghton The Farmer* gave the Blue a hard fight and were one of the hardest teams for Creighton hacks to gain through that the Nebraskan* have bucked trp against this season.

TIAJUANA RACE MEETING WILL BE BANNER AFFAIR TI A J U A N A RACE TRACK. Mex.. Nov. 23.—Heralded as the moat liberal distribu tion of money winter raclntt has ever had. the sums in purses and for stakes which President James Wood 1'olTroth of the Tla juana Jockey club has set aside for the com ing season has stirred turfdom to renewed interest in this Mexi can course, according to reports received at the Jockey club offices from some of the biggest men engaged in the thoroughbred sport. President Coffroth recently an nounced that the coming Tiajuana sea son would be opened Thanksgiving day and would be continued for 100 or more racing days. He has ar ranged that during this period there will he distributed $750,000 In purses with the young fortune of $74,500 In added money for the six stakes. The stakes, as has been the tustoin of the meetings in former seasons at Tia juana, will l>e featured by the Coffroth handicap, this winter classic being a gallop of one and one-quarter miles. Its added money for the coming sea son has been Increased by $10,000 over last season, meaning that the Jockey club will contribute $40,000 to the race. This will again make the Coffroth handicap the richest stake in America for horses of all ages. The marked increase in racing throughout the country and the pros perous condition of the sport at the many tracks operating, together with Tiajuana recognized as the capital of w inter raring, should combine to make the coming season far outstrip any of the several prosperous ones Tia juana has had in its six years of operation. With the opening of the Tiajuana course less than 10 days away, the number of inquiries for stables con vinces President Coffroth that there will lie a deluge of thoroughbreds. He anticipated a great rush, and on this account advises in his slake blanks, which will soon reach horsemen, that no thoroughbreds should be shipped until reservations have been applied for and officially granted by the Tla juana Jockey club. A big force of workmen has been busily engaged in making needed im provements. Chutes have been built at the quarter-mile pole, near the head of the stretch, and at the three quarter pole. The former is the start ing ground of the Coffroth handicap. The chute will make a fine straight away at the harrier and thus there will lie no crowding even should the Coffroth handicap draw 25 starters, which is extremely likely. The club house has been enlarged and redecorated, while the mutual plant has been given more space. The paddock is improved and better quar ters are arranged for the jockeys. The administration building and Jockeys' quarters will tie the best of their kind In the country. An open-air plunge and shower hatha at the stables will be innovations which will tie apprecia ted bv horsehien. Jockeys, attendants and others who reside at the track. In all the Tiajuana course will show a rejuvenation in appearances when the long winter season is opened Thanksgiving day.

Hawkeves Win m Close Contest Captain McKlwain Stars for Northwestern — Aerial Vi ork Featured. By AiMorlattHf I’rt >». Evanston. III.. Nov. 25.—Iowa came off victorious in the annual home coming game with Northwestern here Saturday by a score of 17 to 14, but the Purple a^id White warriors fur nished the surprise of their entire season by uncovering three forward passes in the last quarter that al most spelled disaster for the Hawk eyes. Only the fierce plunging of Parkin. Fry and Graham saved the day for the visitors for, with McElwain doing the tossing and Seidell and Kelly re ceiving. three aerial passes netted the home boys close to 100 yards, result ed in a touchdown and threatened another, which would have meant a defeat for the visitors. Northwestern Scores. In the thi^d period, however. Me Elwain, the Northwestern captain, appeared to take on new life and after a fumble on the kick-off had given him an opportunity, he plunged through the line and cireled the ends until he placed the ball on Iowa's one-yard line. Pestephanno. after two attempts, carried the ball over and Northwestern took the lead, while the crowd cheered. The Iowa team then settled down to business with Fry doing the major part of the work. He ripped open the Northwest ern line and shook off the ends until he worked the ball down the field to within a few yards of the goal when the third period ended. It was but a moment after the final quarter started before Graham had carried it over and once more took the lead. This only seemed to whet their appetites for more scoring for they continued to march down the field for yardage and the Northwest ern rooters groaned again as Fry again slipped over. But with the score standing 17 to 7 against him. McElwain again braced and from his own 30-yard line he made two for ward passes in consecutive order, the first for 45 yards and the second for 30, that placed the ball on Iowa's five-yard line, from which point he easily plunged over for a touch down. A short time later Northwestern again got the ball and again McEl wain opened up. A 35-yard pass sent the ball from deep Northwestern ter ritory to within a few yards Inside Iowa territory. He then tried four successive passes, three of which grounded and the fourth of which was Intercepted. It was only a few moments more before time wras called and the purple and white rooters went home beaten, but with the knowledge that their team had played the best game of the season and was far from being In disgrace.

Ite lie is still tlie b ei heavyweight that Europe ever thig up. And they had to go to Africa for him. America has now whipped every body in flip old world except the mummy of King Tut.

Maybe, he would have done better with boxing gloves on his hands and both feet. lint he registered extra ditidnids witli the fans when he took every thing Norfolk eould serape up. Oliver Twist's dish and Siki's face are now teamed up in history. They were both he'd nut for more. Except that Oliver didn't get it. The fight put* Niki on a detour to make a lot of plunder, lie won’t get a nudge at Ilenipsey./But he will get all Hie fights lie wants among the neighbors' children. Wills would pull Siki apart like a birthelay party bonbon. Set would Dempsey. One of Flrpo's Pan-Ameri can punches would straighten out Siki's hair. But he can probably knock all the other heavies for the Derby loop. Norfolk went all over Siki like a ceip around his heat, lie tapped him on the he'atl, drummed tin his chest and even smacked awn> ein his spine. Siki displayed no weakness, not even a longing for the old folks at home. Strangely enough, while a win would have put Siki in the running. It does nothing for Norfolk. The Kid's showing against Wills blew up the boiler. There isn't, anybody who saw the punch that knocked Norfolk chil ly. Lots of people thought the boys picked a pocket that night. Half the crowd thought the Kid got a jolt under the ribs or a ticket on the jaw. The other half didn't see any punch start or land. _ (Copyright. 1923.) John McGraw Stands Pat on His Opinion oi Jimmy O’Connell New York, Nov 23.—John McGraw manager of (he Giants, has not weak ened on Jimmy O'Connell, the $100, 000 California beauty. There are a lot of fans, both in New York and elsewhere, who considered Jimmy more or l<#s a 'bust" last season. It Is true, /of course, that O'Connell did not set the world on fire, and that McGraw found it necessary to bench him in mid-season. The present plans of the Giant lead er are attain to start O'Connell in center field next season. He predicted that- the O'Connell of 1924 would be in entirely different player from the O'Connell of 1923. "The truth about O'Connell is that he never got a real chance." said McGraw "l’.y that 1 mean that his health was such that he could not do himself justice at any time tast sea son. O'Connell had typhoid last win ter and an attack of the 'flu.' and my experience haB been that it always jlias taken a ball playei a full year to recover from the efforts of ty phoid. "The 'flu' left O'Connell's eyes af fected, and few fans knew that O'Con nell had h.s eyes treated during the better part of last season. "If O'Connell isn't a real ball player then everybody who looked him over on the coast was fooled We didn't buy O'Connell without a complete in vestigation. And I never encountered such uniformity of opinion about a player. Everyone 1 questioned told me the same thing, namely that O Connell had all the qarmarks of a star. ■‘O'Connell has a good stjle at bat and he is fast He also has the neces sary driving power to make a good batsman. I believe the reason he didn’t hit better last season was be cause of his eyes and a general run down condition. I want to see O’Con | n*ll play through another full sea son before anyone can convince me that he isn’t a great prospect." Y ankees Stand Pat W ith Team That Won World Title in New York New York. Nov, 25—For the first time since Col, Jacob Ruppert tsrught the Yanks in connection with Col. Til Huston in tne winter of 1914 1915 the Yankee owner contemplates a trade less winter Ruppert and Huggins, his little tactician. Intend to stand pat on their world championship ag gregation. It was a long climb to the top of the baseball roost, but now that the Yanks are there, they are satisfied with the collection of players who put them in the place There will, of course, be the usual hate b of youngsters at the Yankee training camp next spring, whether It is pitched in New Orleans or San 1 Antonio However, these players are I for future development, as no change is contemplated in the personnel of the regular team. There was some talk of Boley being purchased from Baltimore to supplant the veteran Scott, hut Kverett's world series play was so strong that the Yanks are willing to s’ring along with Scotty until a leas expensive minor Ie3guer can he broken in for his place. Standing pat is a new policy with the Yanks. aa the history of the Rup I pert-HuBton ownership In New York was one of continuous deals and trades. Now that Ruppert is sole owner, he is satisfied with the finish ed product.
