Nebraska Beats Dakota; Creighton Beats NEBRASKA GETS REVENGE Smothers South Dakota in Return for Lait Year! Humiliation. VISITORS ONLY ONCE DANGEROUS 'Tornhaakers Rnort im.Xo Trick, bat Stick t Straight Foot Ball Captain Weller' ranting m Featar. ( From A Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 8. peclal.)-Nebraska cored rich revenge for last year'a humilia tion, pilling up a score of 39 to 0 against the sturdy South Dakotans onthe Nebraska field this afternoon. Without resorting to a single trick play, and sticking closely to straight old-time fcot ball. the.Cornhuskers were easily able to take the measure of a better team than held them to a aocre of 4 to 0 in lis HI. The visitors put up a plucky fight, however, and the game resulted far differently fr6m what the footers expected from the work of the first ten minutes Of play. Though overwhelmingly defeated, the northerners drew the very evident approval of one of tl largest crowds that ' ver watched an early season game on Nebraska field. They left at t o'clock this evening in god condition and .with the consolation of having done their beat. The result of the game bore out the esti mate of the northerners coach,' Whltte more. after he saw the Cornhuskcrs in ac tion against Peru last Saturday, Nebraska played hard foot ball every minute of the game. In the last half the Dnkotuns sent ' a series of cold shivers up the spines of the rootrr by forcing the ball by straight line bucks from their own twenty-yard Una to the Nebraska twenty-five yard line. Her they resorted to a forward pass which was promptly nabbed by Cooke. Ootherwlse they might have escaped a shut-out, for the Comhuakers were near a - panic, though fighting back desperately. But once In possession of the ball Nebraska recov ered Its nerve and managed to score two Nebraska's star was again Captain Wel ter, whose splendid punting gave the Corn huskers two of their touchdowns. The husky captain also kicked a pretty goal from tho field In the second half, and was nlways able to make good gains either by lugging the ball through the opposing line, or by breaking around the ends or . through the tackles. Hare and Simpson 1 did brilliant work for the visitors, espe cially during their spurt In the second half, being responsible for the greater part of the distance gained by the northerners. Nebraska's entire back field did good work, while ueitzer ana jonnson on me enas showed evidence of the atte ntloVi that' has been devoted to their positions by- Coach Colo. n First Score a Flake. Nebraska's first score, was in the nature of a fluke. After forcing the ball by steady plunging down to the visitors"! flve-yard j braska at length surrendered It on downs. A forward paae gave Brown a thirty-yard gain, but the play was not, allowed, the hall being brought back. A punt gave the Dlvskln to Nebraska. The ball changed possession a ' couple of times; Dakota's '' yinta gaining about twenty yards. Wellar finally punted from the center of the field to 8lmpson,-on the visitors' goal line. The punt was fumbled. Matters Jumped high In the air and knocked the ball over the line, where Harvey fell on It, scoring Ne braska's first touchdown. Welter failed to kick goal. Score: Nebraska, 6; South Da kota, 0. Kroger made tr- second touchdown, straight line bucking, aided by Weller's punts, carrying the ball well down Into the visitor's territory and giving Kroger the opportunity to carry It across with a center buck. Weller kicked goal. Score: Nebraska. 11; South Dakota. 0. .' Latin kicked off to Matters on the thlrty-flve-yard line. Matters lugged the ball ten yards. Nebraska made distance once, but a penalty forced a punt. The Dakotans resorted to another forward pass, which Burnett caught and ran with It thirty yarda before being downed. A fumble lost ground for Nebraska, and Weller madrt a short punt to Simpson, who did some clever work fighting his way back with the ball. Dakota could not gain consistently and Latin finally punted ' to the center of the field. Nebraska worked the ball back twenty yards, when Kroger broke straight through the line for a touchdown. Weller kicked goal. Score: Nebraska, IT; South Dakota, 0. Weller's Long; Pan. . . Latin Licked off to Minor, who returned the ball twenty-five yards to Nebraska's forty-five-yard line. Minor carried the ball I ten yards In two downs, but a fifteen-yard penalty forced Weller to punt. The kick was the' sensation of the game, the ball silling full seventy-five yards well over the head of Coffey. The latter reached the ball after a long run, but fumbled It, and Collins fell on It for Nebraska's last tourhdown of the first half. Weller kicked goal. - The first score of the second half was a goal from the field by Weller. Nebraska worked the ball steadily down to the visi tors' twenty-flve-yard line, where Dakota braced and Nebraska oould not gain In two downs. Weller dropped back and exe cuted a pretty drop kick, tke ball going squarely between the p.ist. Score: Ne braska, !7; South Dakota. 0. South Dakota's spurt followed Weller's feat, the visitors taking the ball on a bunt by Weller following tho kick off. From the i tweritj'-'yard line they carted It back by speedy gains, Simpson. Hare and Oliver at tacking Nebraska's center, guards and tackles fiercely for rood gains. Cooke finally secured the bal! on a forward pass on Nebraska's twenty-five yard line, over for the fifth touchdown. Kroger making It. Weller kicked goal. Score: Nebraska, 33; South Dakota, , The final touchdown was scored by Minor, who broke away for a thirty-yard rha across the visiters' goal. 8core: Ne braska, 39; South Dakota, .

MADISON, Wis., Oct. B. (Special.) Two weeks of practice hnve now passed by, so that those who have watched the work each night can make some estimate as to the probable lineup that will be used by the Badgers In the games this fall. At center, Steihm, who was given a position on the all-western team by somee of the critics at the conclusion of last season, appears to have a hrild on the position, although he was not In his old position Thursday night. It was the day of the rush and Coath Hutching issued the order that any man who remained away from the practice would not be put in the lineup again. Stiem did not get out to the foot ball field until late In the nftprnoon and the coach madee his word good by transferring lak lsch, the big freshman crew man who has been working at guard. In his position. Iaklsch Is heavy and fast and may "give Stiehm a hard tussle( for the place, al though it is generally conceded that Stiehm will play there this fall. At guards the coaches have been trying out three men,' Huntley, who was In that place last' yeAr; Davidson, who played on the University of Indiana two years ago, and Iaklsch. ' Jt seems to bee about a tossup between the men up to now as all the work done has been running through signals. ' , Murphy, captain of the freshmen crew, is making a gallant fight for tackle and he should land It without the least doubt. Dltt man, an old "W" man, -la out for the other tackle position and should be given a place, although Boyle Is giving him a hard fight. One change has been made during the week and that is' the shifting of John Mess mer, 'who was elected captain to succeed Charles Miller, who was barred on account of his studies, to right end.' The big fel low is speedy, beating the other men down th? field on kicks with great regularity. At the other end of the. line, Rogers, last year's end, Js holding down his old place. A better aspect oas been given the quar terback position during the lust week by the appearance of 'hree more men for a try at It. Srrlbner, the fast little basket ball captain, has reported and has been showing good form and- speed. Rogers of Milwaukee is also out for the position, ns Is Bartlert.of the same city. Fuslc, who has been played at the position for neaTly two weeks, is rapidly becoming accustomed to the work and shows slgrfB of developing Into a good man. The coaches have been using Wiloe, who was tried at end for a few days, at right half and he may be kept there If he can keep up the pace? he has set. Ostoff has the fullback position clinched, while Schwalm and Culver are fighting it aut for the vacant half. ' Some disappointment was expressed last night when It became known that Arne Lerum and Earl Driver, ' both former var sity stars, who were depended upon for a portion of the coaching, would not assist Coach liutchlns has been trying a new play this week. It la culled the "pin wheel revolution," with one of the halves or the quarter cairylng the ball. Another Is what Is known as a mass twist, in which the quarter bluffs at. going Into the line and then skirts one of the ends, hurling the ball to another player aa he is about to b tackled. f Fireside rharanlonaklo.

TWO THOUSAND SEE THE GAME Large Crowd and Ideal Oar Blake , Auspicious the Opcnltlar of the Foot Ball Season far th Locals. Creighton, Si; Tarkio, 0. By superior all-around Work Cielghtoin overwhelmed the strong team from Tatklo Saturday afternoon at Vinton street park by the score of 31 to 0. The game was marked by. a few brilliant dashes on the part of the Creighton eleven and hy dogged perseverance against heavy odJs on the part of the boys from Missouri. The game was a most auspicious open ing of the foot ball season in Omuh:i, and a crowd of abotft 2,000 rooters was out to See the blue and white down the proud colors of the Missouri eleven. .The Creighton management made a most pop ular move when it decided to Issue com plimentary tickets to sll the students of the Omaha Hlgri school. The Invitation was accepted by a large number, and espe cially by the high school girls, who turned out In largo numbers, and,, with the help of the regular rooters at the Creighton team, filled the west bleachers, part nf the grand stand; utmed solid liuealonif the east side of the field and filled nu merous carriages and automobiles which were allowed on, the east side of the Peld. Crelghton's band was on hand and from tts' posltlon In the middle of the" went bleachers kept the crowd Jollied up with a program of popular airs. Tarkio la Outclassed. It was evident from the first that the Tarkio team Iwas outclassed, an Imme diately after the first klckoff the Creigh ton boys rushed the ball to the noith goal for the first touchdown In two min utes after play was called. The goal was missed. ' The ball then swayed back and forth In the middle of the field and went for a touchdown, which many thought was a safety, but the referee decreed otherwise, and the ball was brought out to the twenty-five-yard line, . where it was kicked and cleverly blocked 'by McKenna, Tarkio re covering the ball. At this stage Tarkio showed its best formvfor by the guards' back formations the ball wag rushed right" through the heavier Creighton lino tor about sixty yards to. the fifteen-yard line, wdiere Tarkio was forced to give up the ball and Brome. booted It down the field, where Donovan nailed it and scooted for a touchdown. Tarkio was not ablo to gain Its distance any more during the afternoon and It was only a matter of how many touchdowns Creighton could make In the allotted time. Brome Too Fast for Other. Captain Brome of the Creighton team handled his men in fine 'fashion, tho only criticism being that he was a little too j fast for the rest of them and often had the play away before they were ready, but that is a fait Incident to Jhe early season and will easily be corrected by Coach Bell, who seems to have all th players working hard. Bowman, left halfback of the Takwle team, seemed to be the star on that team and he was all but put out of the game near the end of the first half by a head-on Collision with the players' bench. In front of the grandstand. He was able, however, to resume the game In the second half. Weaver passed the ball In poor form for kicks and It was the usual occurrence for th fullback to have to pick, the ball from the ground on th pass. This cost one touchdown at least and-probably several more. The scors: CR'ilUHTON. c....A L.O...I. R.O LT R.T. ... ur. ... BB..., O L. H.B. . R H B.. TARKIO. C. ,..UO. ..R O. .. LT ..rB.T. ,.

' SIOUX CITY, la., Oct. t (Special. ) Morningsld college will continue the sys tem of athletic support, Instituted with so much success last season. The system has been considered at all of the various col leges In th state, but Mornlngslde has been the first to adopt It. It consists of taxing ach student who registers In the Institu tion I? or SS per semester and Issue to him or hur a pass to all of the athletic con tests and all of th debates and student activities. The funds derived In this way ar more than sufficient to meet the ex penses of these activities, and th enforced payment Insures a heavy attendance at all of them, even the debates. Grinnell rol- j lege has been considering th advlaibUity OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER Tarkio; Detroit Beats St. Louis; Philadelphia Wins Two , ' DOANB COLLEGE'S 1907 FOOT BALL SQUAD. of adopting this system of supporting the student activities for several years, but has thus far been unwilling to increase the tui tion by the sum required. The plan would have been adopted by the state, university several seasons ago had It not been for the fact that It Is contrary to the charter under which the university Is founded.

He said the genersl feeling was the confer ence, having dealt with questions of war, must do something for peacs. He favored obligatory arbitration through Individual treaties between nations In preference to a treaty, including the whole world, which It was propped should apply to Juridical and not to. apolitical matters, which, the speaker contended, would be Impossible to separate, as what might be a juridical question In one country might be a politi cal question In another, or might become political In regard to sdme point of the litigation.

COBB MAKES A HOME RUN I'm pi re Evan Make III First Appenranee Since HI Iajnrr Sev eral Week A Philadel phia Take Pair. ST. LOUI3, Mo., Oct. 6.-The Detroit team won the American league pennant by beating St. Louis in a one-sided game, 10 to 2. Up to the fourth Inning Towell held Detroit safely, no one reaching second base, but in the fourth Cobb's triple started a batting bee that sent Jones across the plate In that lnn!ng, and so worked upon Powell that two bases on balls, two triples and a double were marked up for De troit In the fifth, netting five runs. After the disastrous fifth the result of the game was never In j doubt. In the seventh and ninth innings, respectively, St. Louis made a run, but by tho close of the game De troit had added four more talllo to Its sc6re. three of them coming In the final inning. It was expected that a crisp autumn day, the presence here of, the leaders In the league race and the fact that there was a fighting chance that the St. louls team would oV'prlve It of the pennant would draw a record-breaking crowd, but It was remarked that the ground rules were un necessary. Two more games are scheduled for tomorrow. One of tho features of today's game was the appearance of Umpire Billy Evans, who was severely injured by a thrown soda water bottle during tho last Detroit series several weeks ago. Evans made his ap pearance In company with Umpire Sheri dan and was warmly greeted by the De troit players, who showed strong disap proval when the bottle was thrown. Score: ST. LOUIS. DETROIT.

COPY FIVE CENTS. 6ST DISCOVERS NEW BACK Lchr, a Sophomore, Likely to Be Majoffln'i Mate. GOOD MATERIAL IN MICHIGAN Cane Game Waa Oarslnt of Rra-nlar Season "Oct?" Sehala , In Good Form for tha .' 'Gam. ANN ARBOR, Mich.. Oct. .-(8pelal.-. The find which has done th most so far during the present foot ball season to brighten Coach Yost's smile was th dis covery of Lehr, a sophomore, who will probably bo Captain Magoffin's running mate at halfback. Lehr, who halls from Escanaba, Mich., th town which produced Jack Loell and Embs, gav some promts of, his ability last year, when he played in the, back field for on of the freshman teams. At the opening of the season h waa thought to ba good material for th reserve eleven, but at the first practice game between th 'varsity and the Re serves he sprang Into prominenc. Weighing about 168 pounds, every ounce of which Is fighting strength, It seems al most Impossible to stop him when he has the ball. Even while playing with th scrubs he picked holes In 'vsrslty forma tions and plunged through them Ilk a catapult. Hurry-Up Is, as usual, reticent about th new man. but Captain Magoffin and some of the older men ar very en thusiasts over the new "phenom." Harry Hammond, brother of th famous Tom Hammond, and veteran end, has re turned to the game. Although late In get ting Into the practice h has been train ing out by himself and Is soon expeotwd to take his old place at the right extreme of th line. With Casey at th other end Yost can be assured that th weak points In his line will not b th ends. Ham mond played In '06 and '08.' Sehalz Shows Good Form. "Germany" Bchuls Is showing all his old time form at center. In th practice gam between th 'Varsity and Reserves Wednes day h was everywhere on th field at once in spite of the 220 pounds of solid flesh he carries. H can break up an Interfer ence formation with as much agility and quickness as a lighter man. such as Lehr. and it is a long punt that ha can't make good by dumping the man who catches It. In th Wednesday gam h ' demon strated his agility by leaping up and block ing a punt which the Reserves were al lowed from their twenty-flve-yard line on a kick over tha goal line. In connection with his position the difficulty will com In developing a reliable substitute. Wat kins, who has played with the scrub elevens for several seasons, has been tried In that position In scrimmages and his work has been very credltsble, but h hss never been tested In a regulargama. Th sureness and strength of th center ar so tlndtsffenslMe to the success of the team that Yost will make th most of Watklns to provide against possible Injury to "Ger many." " Loell Has th Call. Allerdlce. who began the practice season by promising to give 'jack Loell a hard rsc for the fullback Job, Is temporarily Inca pacitated by a broken nose. Th only other serious opponent to Loell seems to ba Rhelnschlld. "Khelny" Is heavier and fully as fast as Loell and has th advantage of more experience. - He was a guard In '06 and assistant coach during the '08 season. If he is not used at fullback ha will play taokle. It is not at all probable that ha will be put back inliis old place at tha left of . "Germany". Bchuls. The quarterback race, is still a lively one, but one fact is assured and that Is that whether Miller or Waamund wins tha honor of steering the 'varsity, th position . will be well filled. Wasmund seems at the pres ent to be a little In tha. lead. Both, how ever, are sure, quick,' and, as far as can be judged before an' actual trial, ar heady and cool. Miller puts a little more dash into the team, running through -bis signals mora quickly,' but Wasmund stars In ln4 dividual play.- Miller, at quarter and Rum. ney, who has been fighting with Lehr to work at right half, have been trying th forward pass Jn tha practlc scrimmages. Miller seems to- b able to keep his eye open and his wits about him well enough to'exeeut that difficult play In spit of Interference. Several , times Wednesday ha was boxed by th Reserves before he had seen a chsnca for a- clear throw, but In every case' he managed to shoot the pig skin straight over his opponents' heads Into Rumney's walling . arms. Rumney plays his part of th trick well, and Indications would point to this play as an Important factor In Yost's methods for scoring this season. ' Graham Qnlek Ills Fet. "Octy" Graham, th 216-pound guard, who. In spite of his weight and sh'ortn, la handy .and quick with his feet. Is de veloping considerable skill as a placement kicker. With th aid of either Miller or Wasmund, who ar both accurate In hold ing th ball when It is to b booted, b has kicked a number of goals In th dally scrimmages. "Octy" seems to bell that It Is up to him to make himself Indispens able. Since Flannagan, a big, red-headed sophomore, has been playing guard for tha Reserves and has been paying "Octy" par ticular attention. "Octy" hss been Improv ing his kicking until now th gosls from touchdowns ar left for him to do and h will b expected to make a few from tha field. Yost Is fairly well satisfied with th ma terial from which ha to build his 1907 eleven, but h Is fond of a discouraged x presslon when everyone els Is Inclined to b cheerful, and so has tried to mak his friends believe h is worried. Th teams ar doing their two and thre-hour stunts every day, with frequent ' ml and signal quisles In th evening. Slowness or Inac curacy In learning rules and signals la a greater crime In the' eye of the Michigan coach than th failure to' seise an oppor tunity for a brilliant play. Opening of th S4an. Th case gsm Saturday opens th reg ular season. Th scientists from Ohio us ually hav th honor of starting things In Ann Arbor, and always put up a gam fight. In on Instance they wer able to score on Michigan. Their tlmat of th strength of the team Is considered a fair criterion for the beginning of th season. In lluC, although a -comfortable aeor was plied up against them,' they declared tb 'varsity to be (0 per cent weaker than In former years, and tbclr Judgment, wss proved correct. Practically . th full strength of th 'varsity squad will b In tte Michigan lineup Saturday, with th excep tion of Hammond. He Is not yet In the best of condition and will a left out. .The lineup, which will be changed during th
