TIIE OMAITA DAILY DEE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12. lOv. BOOTH IS NOW VINDICATED Defeat of Cornhuskers at Boulder Prores Claim of the Coach. TIME OF HALVES TOO LONG FOR NEBRASKA Betara of Defeated Me a Was Pa thetic, bat They Were Greeted aa Heroes hy Their Friend. v (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) 1JNCOLN, ' Neb., Oct. 11. tepeclal.) The defeat of the Nebraska Corn hunkers by Colorado at Boulder last Saturday, although unexpected by most of the rooters for Booth's, pupils, was at least a confirmation of Booth's per sonal fears that the Mountaineers were loaded for big game and It also effectually disproved tho fake rtrpo stories of the wonderful prowess of the CornhUKkers this year, which havo been manufactured over Booth's objections and sent out broadcast to the press. It ha been Booth's conten tion almost from the first of the season that there were too many green men on the V'.kH.Un i.ln.rn Ihla raa trt tliatlfv AflV great display of optimism, while he was op posed to "bull" stories because of the fur ther fact that the overconfidence might in fect his team and make them careless In a tight pinch during a game. Because of these facts the Nebraska coach declared himself before be took his pupils to Colorado by sHylng that they were not In good physical condition for a hard game and that they were far from being Jn form; he i ven asserted that three or four of his men rightfully belonged on the hospital list, but 'hat he would be com pelled to play them , he lacked the sub stitutes to take their i laces. This sounded so much like a "bear" story, ground out for the benefit of future opponents, that Booth's statement was not given the cred ence that it Justified. . The success of Colorado, although achelvcd by the narrow innrgln of u Dingle the Cornhuskers lugged the ball almost three yards to their opponents' one, was the flrst dose of defeat Nebraska has swal lowed for Rlmost three full seasons, and the Nebraska rooters had become so accus tomed to lighting ted lircs and ringing the old university boll that tbey were fairly dased when the final news was flaihed over the wire that Colorado hail won. , Booth maintains that his pupils deserved to win but for the rare good fortune of the west erners, and he therefore argues that the defeat should in no wise wreck the chances of the ' Cornhuskers for the future. Hu war naturally disappointed over the 'inabil ity of his proteges to cro'js Colorado's goul after they , had worked the ball so near to the line so many times during the gan?e, but he is hopeful, however, that the weak, nesses displayed Saturday will become ap parent to the players and that the lessons taught by the defeat will be an eventual benefit. " Time of Halves Too Long. It was not until after the game was over that Booth learned that he had been tho victim of . a clever Colorado trick. The westerner played short halves with Kan sas last year and lost by the narrow mar gin of 1 point through their failure to kick a goal. Toward the end of the struggle Colorado had the Ja hawkers badly fagged, largely because .of the rare atmosphere, to which the men from the prairies were not accustomed, anil-in the final moments the Boulderltes jwere' walking down the field almost without opposition. Then and there -Colorado determined that their next game against a Missouri ' valleY team on the Boulder '"gridiron should be one of full halven. When. Booth's aggregation appeared on the scene they were blandly Informed of the decision to play full halves. Booth protested on the ground that the season was too young to play the full time and that at such an early 'date short halves j were being played all over the- country. ! Colorado was obdurate, however, and would make no concession other than for thirty -minute halves. Booth was compelled to as-' sent or be dubbed as a quitter. Another surprise to Nebraska was the splendid con dition displayed by Colorado, whereas the Nebraskans were seemingly exhausted be fore the end of the first half and were "all In" at the finish. An investigation of this phuse disclosed that Coach Cropp, with an eye on the Nebraska game, had been prac ticing most of the 'varsity squad at. Boulder since the last week in August, and when Booth sent his team on to the field It was to face a well conditioned team, so much bet ter In point of appearance that there was no comparison between them. Even then the Cornhuskers had a long edge In advancing the ball. In punting and In running back kicks, and If fortune had heetnwed her favors evenly Booth's men would surely have won by a reasonably safe margin. The return of the defeated Nebraskans to Lincoln was pathetic. Several hundred students waited for hours for a belated train to give the team as warm a welcome as If It werr returning from a triumph In stead of a reverse. The students cheered lustily until Booth and the players emerged In tears from the train. A hush followed, but the students thought them heroes Just the same, and each player was lifted on the shoulders of a dozen loyal rooters and ten derly put Into a carriage, whence they were driven to the training quarters. -' Nebraska's next game Is against Cretgh- ton university next Saturday at Omaha. Crelghton Is expected to give the Corn huskers a stiff argument; but In this game Booth feels Justified tn predicting a victory. Three or four of the regulars, however, are still on the hospital list and Booth will bo forced to use substitutes. This should j give Crelghton a much better chance, but r.t-ii m-ii ine ouus appear 10 De very mucn against them.'

WOME.VS GOLF LHAMI'IOXSHIP Miss Dod, Baalish Expert, Defeated by Miss Marktr ot Huston. PHILADKLI'iUA. Oct. 11. Miss Char lotte Lsd, tho English premier gulling ex pert, met wnh de.eat toJay at the hands oi lamine Mackay, nailing from the oak ley Country eiuo of iolon, on tne tit at day's pluy of the women s national cham pionship by li-up and 1 to pmy. Miss Mackay Is a young golfer and, although. It was not by brillfmt golf, victory was none the less deserved. By the defeat Alias Dod Is out of the championship. Miss Mackay s victory was due to her ability to taae advantage of Mis iloda mistakes. 'J lie result was In doubt up to the seventeenth hole, at which point Ml.-s Mackay was 1-up on her diKiingulsned op ponent. Mint Muckay's opening urive for tne aevenleenlh hole was Ht itast 170 yards and the sphere rolled wlihln two yards of the cup. Miss Dod followed, but sliced her tee shot. The ball landed on the tar ejige of the bank. She playeu her se.ond short and her approach putt landed her a yard rrom the hole. Miss Mackay then took tne hole In two more strokes and won the match. Uy a singular coincidence It wax Allan Muckav who met mu. kimm Adair last Uctooer over the same course In the first mutch ply of the invitation tournament. On that occasion aha was 1-down to the Irish expert. Hardly lets surprising than Miss Dod's defeat was the victory of Mrs. K. 8. San tord of orange over Miss Harriott Curtis of l-.s-ex county. The latter stood 4-up at the turn, but Mrs. Sanford gradually arew up on her opponent and the match w;.e all square at tho eighteenth hole. Mrs. banford won the extra hole, 6 to 6. Miss Vanderhoel, who, with Mlra Cur tis and Miss Dod. had tied for the best score of the stroke play, was the only one who survived today's struggle. MlSS F. I?. Rrllcnm lha tnr.-m champion In tre tournament, won h-r match by default. Margaret Curtis of B.s sex county was responsible for a grand out Journey of 43 In her match with MIhs R. llugley, which la a record for the course.

LEE NOW fIFTEEN AHEAD OF WESTBERG CaiTasaeri Complete Their Work aad Hav It Ready to Deliver to the (onrralloa This Mornlaar. By the recount of the republican primary election vote taken because of a protest filed against the face of the returns by John Westberg, one of the defeated Candi dates for the legislature, Mr. Westberg loses eight votes, Mike Lee stays where he was and Kata gains eight. These were the three candldrKes whose votes were so close, standing. Lee 1,761, Westberg 1,754, Kati 1,746. The contest therfore, was between Westberg and Lee, although the recount places Kata ahead ot Westberg, who now has a total of 1,74ft. and fifteen ' votes behind Mike Lee, his con- testee. The canvassers were Robert Cbwell, M. J. Qreevy of Omaha and Bert Wllcoi of South Omaha. They were appointed by the exec. utlve committee of the county committee si Wing as a convention, finished their work at 10:30 last night, and signed the returns to be delivered at 10 o'clock this morning to the convention, according to Us Instruc tions. Mr. Westberg sat through the entire re count, paying close heed to everything said and done. . When Mr. Cowell, chairman of tne county and city committees, turned to him and said the work was complete, West berg simply said: Mr. Cowell, I never would have done It If the returns were not opened before the time. "I assure you, John," said Mr. Cowell, very earnestly, "that I was aware of no irregularity and would not permit any if I were. Asked If he would press the matter fur ther. Mr. Westberg said: I must make no statement without con- suiting my attorneys. I have my own feel ings In this matter, but cannot say what snail do." r ' Lee, by the recount, gained one vote In each the First and Second wards of Omaha and lost one In the Sixth and one at Flor ence, balancing his account.
