Oct. 12.-Overooming the New York Nationals today by" a score of to 1, the Bostons, pennant winners of the American league, need but a single vic tory to attain the world's base ball cham pionship of 1912. The world's series now stands, Boston, three games won; , - New York, one, and one contest a tie. " More than 84,000 persons, a record- . breaking1 base ' ball ; crowd ' for Boston, saw a pitching duel in which Hugh Bedient, a youngster, sparkled as a new tar In the base ball firmament- Three . bits was the Giants' portion from Bedient's effective service. But for an error by Gardner, 'the young hurler would have turned back the New York club to defeat in nine scoreless Innings. ' ' Only a shade less brilliant than the box work of Bedient was the, skill of 1 the old master, Christy Mathewson, who, ' except for two long distance drives in .. . 'the third Inning, held the Red Sox help less by the maglo of his curves. ' Bedient's Pitching Beat. i Bedient pitched the best ball that, has been shown so far In the five games of the world series. He had not been re carded SLA a. ltkelv hnl!A fnr tnsmnA ilutv during the championship series and it was not until several innings had passed that the spectators 'realized that the , Giants were getting a quality of pitch ing that was most baffling when hits meant tallies. The only New Yorkers : to fathom Bedient's benders were Ma thewson, Meyers and Merkle, while those who succumbed on strike-outs were De vore, Snodgrass, Merkle and Mathewson. Harry Hooper started the sharp batting , bee that ! gave the Red Sox their two runs. A fadeaway curled up to the plate and Hooper, catching it fair and square, ' shot the ball past Herzog along the left field foul line, where the ball bounded between the angles of the fences to the confusion of Devore. On went the flying . Hooper and before the ball was returned ,r". to the infield the Red Sox outfielder was perched on third. : " There was pandamonium in the stands when Yerkes drove the first ball pitched to left center, where it rolled up against the fence and bounded past Snodgrass. Hooper .came to the home plate and Yerkes made third, whence he tallied when Doyle made a bobble of, Speaker's grounder. ' That ended . the scoring for ' Boston. , . , . Mathewson Shews Skill. Thereafter Mathewson showed his skill In returning to the Boston benches every succeeding player who went to the plate. Seventeen men In order went out from the middle of the third to tha last of the eighth inning on grounders to the In field, pop flies to fielders or as strikeout victims. Those who fanned were Gardner and Wagner. Mathewson has been pitted against the Red Sox for nineteen Innings - In two games, one of which was an eleven-Inning contest, and not one man was given a base on balls. Only twenty nine men faced him during today's con- : tet. - '. ' .' ;.'

Oscar Solem, Minnesota's left tackle, received a broken arm today during practice. He may be out of tha game for' the rest of the season and is sure at least of being out of all but the Wisconsin or Chicago games,' which close the Gopher session. Solera's accident which is a ' severe blow to the already poorly equipped team which Dr. Williams has been obliged to put into the' field this fall, happened when he attempted to receive a forward pass. . He slipped on the wet grass and attempted to save ' himself In falling by thrusting out his left arm. ' PE1SMMTEAM BEATEN Swarthmore College Sprinp Sur prise on the Famous Squad.

NORFOLK SHOULDERS DEFEAT Omaha Highs Guard Their Goals Against All Advances Saturday. OMAHA FLAYS WEAK AT TIMES Visitors Were Much Lighter Than the Defenders, but in Spite of This Drawback They Pat Up Hard Plcrht. Omaha High defeated Norfolk High by the score of 23 to 0 at Rourke park yes terday afternoon, r, Both teams played loose baU and the team work on both sides was very poor, Norfolk was much lighter than the Omaha squad, but in spite of this draw back they put up a hard fight Luck favored the Omaha boys. At times Omaha's defense was - weak, ' but when It came to crucial points they blocked every play of their opponents. R, Ealiman, left tackle and captain of the Omaha team, made the first touch down. Omaha succeeded tn carrying the ball within the five-yard line of Nor folk's goal, and by a play through guard, Ealiman carried the ball over the line. McFarland failed to kick goal. During the remainder . of the quarter the ball was kept in Norfolk" territory, and although Omaha was within the ten- yard line of Norfolk's goal line, they were not able to carry the' ball to a touch down. Norfolk played better ball during the latter part of the first quarter than at any other time during the game. Their defense at this particular point was good, but their offensive playing was weak. ' McFarland, Omaha's quarterback, made a forward pass to Rouse, the right end. In the latter part of the second half, and by running far out to the light of -the fle!d Roue eluded the persuing players 1 and carr'eil the ball from the forty-yard Hue over Norfolk's goal line for a touch down..

VISITORS FLAY WELL, THOUGH Mayor Jim Kicks the First Ball and Also Loosens Up Considerable Dirt on Creighton field Saturday Afternoon, GORNHDSKERS CRUSH AGGIES Coach Stiehm's Warriors Win Hard Game from Kansans. FRANK AND PUEDY THE STARS creignton University celebrated the formal opening of its foot ball season by walloping Yankton on Creighton field Saturday afternoon by a score of 27 to 3. The game marked the opening of the large new grandstand, which was well filled In addition to the old bleachers on the east side of the field. Mayot Dahlman occupied one of the boxes and kicked the first ball of the game. Mayor Jim handed his coat to Coach Miller and took a vicious swing at the ball, kicking up- gome dirt and pushing the ball foi a distance of ten yards. Between halves Dahlman attempted to. make a speech to the grandstand, after being carried about the field on the shoulders of tha students. Home Boys Oat Sirens;. The Credghton students, 1,000 strong, were present In sections, being seated ac cording to the departments from which they came. A parade of students was held through the business, district of the city before the game and the Booster clubs of the different departments dis played large signs. The medical students were in the lead, carrying a skeloton en titled "Yankton" on a stretcher. During the game the skeleton was placed before the stand. The dental college club was two blocks in length, carrying a half dozen large banners. Between halves a snake dance was indulged in by all the students. The game was rather slow, penalties being frequent and the field slow. Creighton suffered repeatedly for offside play. Many long runs were made, only to be disqualified because of offside play, and the officials were not quite clear as to the Interpretation of the rules. Forward passes were frequent,, but were generally failures, either being fumbles or Intercepted and turned into gains for the other side. Oelarhton Is Heavier. Creighton outweighed the visitors and after the first few moments the game was never In doubt. The visitors, how ever, put up a scrappy game and the lighter Yankton line frequently broke through and spoiled the Creighton plays. The. visitors were the worst offenders at the in-furabllng. A number of sensational runs were made. The prettiest play of the day camo when Stevenson of the visitors took a forward pass from McArthur, on his own twenty-yard' line, and was downed cn Crelghton's one-yard line by Hanley. Later in the same 'quarter Warren In tercepted a pass made by Levy and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. Hanley followed.

Stubbornly contesting every Inch of the way, the Kansas Aggies this aft ernoon went .down to defeat before the Cornhuskers by a score of 30 to 8. Al though held to a lower swore than was expected, the showing of the Cornhusk ers, except for the center trio, was most promising and especially did Nebraska's backfleld perform In sclntilatlng fashion. Captain E. Frank and Purdy played a dashing game, lugging the ball many yards and proving a tower of strength on the defensive play. They were Nebras ka's stars, although. Potter at quarter and Mastin at end performed valiant service for the Cornhuskers, Statistics furnished an excellent Insight Into the game. Nebraska advanced the ball 407 yards as against 63 yards for her doughty opponent. Nebraska was forced to kick five times, three times In the first quarter and twice In the second. Thereafter the Aggie line could not with stand the attack of the Cornhuskers, The Aggies made distance but once out side of the two forward passes on which their touchdown was scored. Nebraska's showing with the forward pass was miserable. Out of five attempts the Cornhuskers were able to negotiate successfully but once, when Purdy took the ball and got away for a ten-yard gain. On the other hand the Aggies attempted two passes, both being suc cessful and netting them thirty yards. Their work with the pass was dazzling and Nebraska seemed unprepared for it Both teams were penalized severely, but the Cornhuskers suffered worst and were set back sixty-five yards to fifty for the Aggies. -The first touchdown came after twelve minutes of play. Purdy smashed through tackle across the white chalk line after Nebraska had secured the ball on the fifteen-yard line on a fumble. Pot ter took the ball shortly after the kick- off and encircled the end for twenty- five yards on a beautiful run through a broken field. On a series of smashes through the line, Hallagln was finally pushed over for the second touchdown. Agsjiea Become Danserons. ' Before the half closed, the Aggies, by clever use of the forward pass, bad car ried the ball thirty yards for a touch down. Frank fumbled the ball on the Nebraska twenty-yard line, but recovered It. Howard punted out ou the thirty yard line. Folton for the Aggies set the ball sailing Into Holmes' arms on a forward pass for an eight-yard gain after two assaults on center had failed to net tbe Aggies anything.

All that remains now to whip the squad, ftito shape ts to execute the plays al ready learned, develop the team work. s and develop a defense for, the Minnesota " " attack. V . " i Owen Frank returned from Minnesota j last' Monday much Impressed with the Gopher team, which he saw In action against Ames last Saturday. The report of weakness In the Gopher lineup were absolutely denied as false by Frank. He found the Gopher machine to be powerful in Its defense and needing only the aid of a star back to make it equally dan gerous on the offense. Frank brought back with him a nice line on the Minnesota etyle of play and Assistant Coach Rathbone has drilled the freshmen squad in these formations. Stiehm wtU allow the freshmen to use tha Minnesota formations In practice next week and develop a defense. Linen la Still Uncertain. With constant injuries to his players and the necessitated ehlfts in his lineup. Stiehm is decidedly uncertain as to what players he will use against the Gophers. The backfleld, with its veterans, is the, easiest of all problems. Providing Cap tain Frank's bad knee does not give him too much trouble, Frank and Purdy will tart at halves. Halllgan at fullback: and Potter at quarter. Mastin and How ard are sure of starting the game at ends. Stiehm Is trying; to; solve his center situation Allen, weighing over 100 pounds, was believed to be Just the man. for the position, but the last two weeks have forcibly reminded Btlehm that Allen lacks aggressiveness and shiftiness necessary to hold the center of the line. Strong and comparatively fast for a big man, Allen's case presents a pussle to the coaches, for his playing on the freshman squad last year was unusually brilliant and only exceeded by Mastin and Howard. Freitag Is being alternated with Allen, and it would not be at all surprising to see Stiehm send his lengthy substitute of last season on the field when time la called for the Minnesota same. . PIn Faith In Tackles.',, ' In Harmon and Pearson, Cornhusker supporters must place their hope, for, the pair furnish the only veteran material in the line. Harmon has been playing Ma old-time reliable game, while Pearson has developed Into a star tackle. Pearson played at ruard last year, but has shown more aptitude at tackle than in his old position. ' Allen and Ross may be shifted to guards, but the chances are that Mr? and Ross will start against Minnesota. Providing Stiehm uses this lineup against Minnesota, as the indications now point, we will have a team averaging 180.8 pounds to the man, and a line from tackle to tackle averaging J07H pounds to the man. , " Will Outweiffh Minnesota. For the first time in years the Corn huskers will apparently outweight Min nesota. Nebraska's team, however, - rep resents a pretty combination of speed and beef. The-line, where most of the " beef is centered, is slow, It is true, but the backfleld is the fastest in years. Ernie Frank, Halligan, Potter, and Purdy represent a quartet of the speediest back fleld men in the Valley. The ends are (Continued on Fourth Page.)
