UPHILL WORK AGAINST HEAVY ODDS
Outweighed and Outplayed, the Little
Fellows Make Stubborn Work of
It and the Victory Is
Well Wti,
In the moit stubbornly contested game of
foot ball witnessed In Omaha this season,
the Dodge Light Guards of Council Bluffs,
at Vinton park yesterday afternoon, de
feated the eleven representing Crelghton
university by. a score of 11 to 0.
Perhaps the largest crowd of the year as
sembled at the Vinton park to witness this
game. It was estimated that the crowd
approximated 4.QU0 people and as one side
or the other made good plays, lusty cheers
greeted the players. From beginning to
end the game was fought on Its merits,
and the Issue was In doubt for some time
until the Guards had made their first touch
down and then It was felt that the contest
was won and It then remained a question
as to whether Crelghton would score again
or not.
Crelghton fought a plucky, up-htll gnme,
but was outclassed and outplayed. With
these odds against them, the (Yelghton
players Jumped Into every scrimmage with
a determination to do or die. It Is only
just to say, therefore, that Crelghton gave
a superb exhibition of up-hill foot ball.
The duards gained much more ground than
Crelghton, despite the fact that the visitors
from across the muddy river were fre
queuly and fearfully penalized. Holding
was the most common fault and a number
of times the Guards were penalised for
twenty yards. They were then unable to
make the gain and It was on these oc
casions that Crelghton got the bull, either
through the fact that the Guards had been
unable to make their gains upon these oc
casions or hecaiae of the fact that the
Gunrds were compelled to punt.
Footing Was Good.
In the punting game, both M. Thomas
and Creighton did good work, sending the
oval upwards to dizxy heights snd covering
from twenty to forty ysrds. One of

Crelghton's punts struck where the Guards i
backs could not get It and the ball had
rolled nearly seventy yards before It was
secured outside the limits of the field.
At the beginning of the game the Guards
had the south side of the field and the wind
favored neither side to r.ny great extent,
as It was blowing from the routhweat, lat
erally across the gridiron. Crelghton kicked
off to Stewart, who made a return of
twenty yards before he was downed. After
M Thomas had made ten yards on the next
play the Guards were penalized twenty
yards for ho'dlng. After Stewart and M.
Thomas had recovered nine yards, M.
Thomas punted thirty-five yards to Calla
han, who made a return of ten yards. After
Crelghton had negotiated six yards on three
downs Crelghton was called back for a
try at goal from placement. The ball was
on the 40-yard line, and while it sailed
over that distance nicely, yet It fell to the
left of the south goal posts. M. Thomas
then punted from the 15-yard line, covering
thirty-five yards, to Welch, who waa un
able to make u return, owing to a good
tackle by Williams.
tiaards Smash the I.lne.
Then Crelghton made eight yards In four
downs, following which Crelghton punted
thirty yards, the ball going out of bounds.
After the Guards had made fteventeen
yards on seven downs. M. Thomas sig
nalled for a punt, but Crelghton got off
side and was penalized five yards and no
punt was made, as Thomas simply stood
still and hold the ball. Then the Guards
kept up their work through the line and
when the ball had been placed on Crelgh
ton's 45-yard line a fumble occurred and
Crelghton got the ball. Callahan then at
tempted a run becauae his teammutee evi
dently did not catch the signals correctly.
Since this was against the rules for the
quarterback to run with the ball when not
Inside the 25-yard line, the ball was called
back and Crelghton wus penalized twenty
yards. Creighton then punted twenty-five
yards and Rutherford got the ball, but was
uralilo to make a return.
On the next scrimmage the most Bcnsa
tlonal play of the day occurred, giewart
was signaled, and finding a nice big hole in
the tackle's position, he went through, and
was fast speeding toward the oppoalng goal
line with absolutely no one In front of him.
The doughty little Callahan was flora
upon his heels, however, and as the crowd
with buted breath awaited the outcome
Callahan got on his sprinting clothes and
went down the field on the heels of the
fast fleeted file art. After Stewart had
covered forty-five yards, and was within
ten yards of thes Crelghton goal line. Cal
lahan made a final lunge and grasped Stew
art around the legs, and both went to the
ground. And then the crowd arose en
masse and cheered Callahan to the echo.
For First Score.
But the Guards were not to be denied,
however. Stewart was again given the
ball, and went through the line for four
yards. Richmond added two more, and
on the next play he was sent over for a
touchdown at the extreme northwest cor
ner of the field. No goj resulted from
this, as the attempt at a klckout did not
result In a fair catch.
On the next klckoff, with Creighton o?
rupylng the south goal, the klckoff was
made to Welch, who was unable to make a
return. After Creighton had made thrre
yards on two downs, Crelghton punted
thirty yards to Stewart, who came back
five yards. The Guards then made five
yards, and were then penalised twenty
yards for holding. "After eight more yards
had been negotiated M. Thomas punted
thirty-five yards to McGovern. who failed
to return. On an attempt at a quarter
back run Crelghton Inst two ysrds. and
then Crelghton made ' a punt of forty
yards, the longest punt of the day.
This gave the ball to tho Guards to the
atria of the center of the field, aud In their
3jE
own territory. The Guards then began
some fast work, and In twelve scrimmages
advanced the ball fifty-four yards, when
time was called, with the pigskin on
CrelRtiton'g twenty-eight-yard line.
Second ' Half Similar.
At the beginning of the second half the
Guar Is had the north goal, to defend, and
the fcjickoft landed In McGovern'a capacious
pawsl and he made a good return of fifteen
yards. After making four yards on two
downs, Crelghton was penalised fifteen
yards, snd then Creighton punted thirty
yards to Richmond, who was unable to
make any return. On seven downs the
Guards then negotiated thlrty-zeven yards,
but during the last three downs a penalty
of ten yards had been Imposed, and the
Guards were unable then , to make the
necessary distance, and the ball went to
Crelghton near the center of the field.
While the opposing teams were wrangling
over the question as to whether the Guards
had made the necessary gain, Welch pro
cured the ball and broke through the line
In an unguarded moment, but was tackled
before he could score a touchdown, the
tackle being made by Chestnut. On the
next play Mullaley fumbled, and the ball
went to Richmond. After Pell had made
three yards, the Guards were again penal
ized twenty yards, and then, after the
Guards had recovered seven yards, M.
Thomas punted thirty-five yards to Mc
Govern. On the next play Kehoe lost two
yards, Welch failed to gain, and Crelghton
punted twenty-five yards to Pell, who
made a good return of fifteen yards.
Guards Playlnaj Ball.
At this ilnt the ball was near the cen
ter of the field and the Guards began
playing with a vim and snap that had not
characterized their previous play to the.
same extent as It now did. In rlxteen
scrimmages the Guards took the ball by
straight foot ball to within two yards of
the goal line, covering a distance of fifty
Pveyard. During this series .of plays,
the giant Pell was tailed upon to take
the ball for the first time and he made
consistent gains. When the ball was within
striking distance of the goal line, -Williams
and Pell were called upon repeatedly. At
the last Williams was called Upon and C.
Thomas and Pell made a big hole for him
through which he went like a shot out of
a ko.u and practically unopposed, across
the goal line for the second and last touch
down, from which M. Thomas negotiated
a beuutll'ul goal, the ball being held by
Chestnut.
Goards Plating; Safe,
At this point the game waa practically
over. The Guards next kicked off to
Crelghton. and after a couple of scrim
mages the locals were compelled to punt.
The Guards then took the ball a distance
of eighteen yards In five scrimmages and
then a fumble occurred and the bull fell
to Crelghton. At this point time was up.
with the ball on CreigMon's thirty-yard
lino and In Its possession.
After the game was over, Umpire Plxley,
who baa officiated In seven of Nebraska's
games this year, said that the Crelghton
Uuardg game was the hsrdest fought game
he had witnessed this year. The game
was frequently delayed because the crowd
pressed on to the field. It was 11 x ley's
opinion that Crelghton was outweighed
and outplayed, but that the Crelghton lads
put up a plucky, uphill fight. Callahan,
In Pixley's opinion, did not play In his
accustomed form. Welch, Mullaley and tie
Shane played a good game.
Tie state of Iowa, nor the entire west,
for that matter never turned out a better
all-round athlete than Pell, the giant
tackle who played on the Guards team
yesterday He wss connected with the
Drake university eleven for four years,
during which time he gradually worked
his way up to the position of the star
athlete of lue utlre state. Williams, who

played guard for the Visiting team, is a
former member of the Iowa State univer
sity eleven, and has been this year's coach
of the star eleven at Highland Park of
Dee Moines, which administered such a
stunning defeat to Crelghton.
CrelaMoa Plays riackily.
Agalnxt such ' a combination of players
us these, the Creighton eleven was cut
classed. At that, however, a superb ex
hibition of plucky foot ball 'was afforded
by the local eleven and every Inch of
ground made by the visitors was secured
only after the Very hardest kind of work.

Goal I, Inc.
Although the doughty lads from the cap

two weeks ago when they defeated Omaha
to the tune of 2A to 0, Omaha's defense had
Improved so marvelously that, In yester
day's contest at the Driving park neither

handicapped In displaying Its best game by
the two Inches of snow which covered the
ground. ,
I.lncofn employed substantially the same
tactics that It did two weeks ago, namely,
bucking the lines In mass formation, fully
confident that It would be successful.
Omaha, however, resorted to frequent end
runs, which netted most of the gains and
which were hardly attempted In the pre
vious game. Omaha's defense was the best
It has exhibited this seaxon as special at
tention had been paid to this In the train
ing. Never once did Lincoln succeed In an
attempt to circle the ends. Indeed, the
runner was almoet always tackled behind
the line for a loss. Lincoln's defense was
good, however, and Omaha often made
slight headway against it and was forced
to punt. The punting waa a prominent fea
ture of the game and neither side can be
said to have excelled In It. The game was
really like a spirited but indecisive tug-of-wot,
as the playing was mainly confined to
the middle of the field and the ball alter
nated between the teams. Never once was
Omaha's goal line even remotely menaced
Lincoln's was once Jeopardised when the
ball reached Its 4-yard line, but a good
punt soon relieved it from Immediate dan
ger. The playing was almoxt wholly In
Lincoln's territory and the game can be
best judged by this fact.
Lincoln Harks Excel.
Lincoln's halfbacks were easlty the best
men In the team. Barwlck covered the
moft ground and was engaged In every
play and at critical moments the ball was
entrusted to him. Field.-, the captain, did
steady, sure punting.
Benson was the star runner for Omaha,
frequently gaining around left end. lie was
alno sure and reliable In tackling and was
usually the first dbwn the field at the
klckoff or following punts. Stein and Loft us
made many gains and did vallunt work in
defense. Harry and Frank Putnam were
responsible for muny of Lincoln's losxs,
as they often broke through and tackled
behind the line. Rogers wus active and per
formed excellent defensive work. 1'od.r
played a fast, steady game.
The game was somewhat remarkable In
the fact that no player was hurt and the
end of the game found both teams Intact
with the same men playing they had started
with.
TjarhdoHa Is Disallowed.
Omaha won the tossup, chose the west
goal and at 3:16 Lincoln kicked 01T to K.
Putnam, who fumbled the ball, but man
aged to recover It. Shields waa sent around
left end. but failed to gain. Stein dashed
through right txckle for two yards. Thomp

the game, gathering In the ball and skill
fully dodging through the crowd of players
and evading all tacklers, ran fifty yards to
the goal posts. Unluckily for Lincoln he
had stepped outside the field In avoiding
tacklers and the ball was brought back to
the middle of the field by the referee and
given to Lincoln.
Lincoln attempted an end run, but Ben
son glided lu and tackled the runner for a
loss. "H. Putnam did the same on the next
play-and Fields punted to Yoder. who was
downed in his tracks.
Shields gained two yards around left end
and again one yard through the line.
inompson punted and Conner jumped tip
and touched the ball, which was speedily
captured by H. Putnam. This netted
Omaha twenty yards. Shields and Burnett
gained, but the ball was flven to Lincoln
on downs. Cameron was sent through for
three yards and Blrkner for two. Barwlck
lost three on an end run, being tsckled by
Fleming. Fields fell back for a punt, but
Instead of punting, ran around right end.
He gained, however, but two yards. Lin

three, Burnett six and Thompson five
yards. Omaha was penalized ten yards
for holding, but Benson made a splendid

punted thirty yards to Barwlck. who ad
vanced ten yards but fumbled and Rogers
fell on the ball. Burnett made two good
gains. Thompson punted twenty yards but
the ball went outside. F. Putnam tackled

The second half began by Thompson's
kicking forty yards to Barwlck, who
panned the ball to Cameron, executing a
criss-cross play. Cameron advanced ten
yards and made - five on the next play.
Blrkner wss utilised three successive times
for gains of two yards each. UN fourth
