CORNHUSKERS FACE
BIG GAME SATURDAY
Seeding Gridiron Results in
Many Cripples for Nebraska,
m and Team Suffers During
Whole Season.
Lincoln, Nov. 7. (Special.) A lit
tle oversight last summer and an ex
ceedingly bad run of luck has cost
the Cornhusker foot ball squad the
largest hospital squad it has ever ex
perienced in one season and put a
. championship squad in the hole. Fac
ing the Missouri game next Saturday,
and an even harder battle with the
Jayhawkers a week later, the Huskers
are going to hustle if they succeed in
mustering up an eleven of first string
men. The Misouri Valley champ! n
ship crown is in the balance.
But to gd back to' the oversight on
the part of the Nebraska management
which is costly so dearly in past sea
sons it has always been customary
to sod the gridiron early in the sum
mer so that the playing field will be
in fair condition for scrimmage and
the season's game. The Husker man
agement yielded to the impulse to
save money last summer and instead
of sodding, thought by seeding the
field it would be covered with a solid
turf by fall. The summer was hot
and dry, the gass failed to grow and
when the foot ball squad returned to
practice insthe fall, the gridiron was
as hard as concrete.
. Starts in Crippled Condition.
From the onset of the season Ne-
' braska had more than her share of
cripples and the Notre Dame game,
the first hard contest which the Husk
ers faced, put the team completely
oc edge. Practically half of the reg
ulars were in the hospital and it was
necessary to enter the Michigan game,
the first hard contest which the Husk
ers faced, put the team completely
oc edge. Practically half of the reg
ulars were in the hospital and it was
necessarjr to enter the Michigan
game, greatly weakened as a result
t Foot ball fans here are not inclined
to attach all blame on the poor condi
tion, or tne held, nowever. The Jinx
lias 'judsucd Stewart's men with a
perservance never before exhibited.
Luck has played fully as potent a
part as the poor condition of the field
in putting the Nebraska squad at a
fearful, disadvantage.
The Missouri game next Saturday
n viewed 'with real alarm in the
Husker camp. The Tigers have been
pointing for Nebraska with a reckless
disregard of results in other games.
Threeof the Misouri squad who have
been out of the game for practically
the entire season will be in the lineup
when the whistle blows next Satur
day. '
Dohson, the Huskier ofot'ball star,
who has developed into a bearcat at
eiimauinK me line, was lata up last
night, but should be in fair shape t6
start. Otoupalik had no chance of
j starting and Captain Shaw was m
sucn condition that Stewart wanted
to hold- him for the Kansas game and
shift Hubka from end to tackle.
Hubka is a natural tackle of great
power and the shift would not have
weakened ffie line. Riddell will not
be in(shape to play end against Mis
souri, so Stewart had shifted Kellogg
from the backfield to the wing. The
shift has been upset .because Hubka
was taken ill. . -. .
to add to the distress, McMahon, who
was slightly injured' last i week was
hurt again last night, and may not
be in ten lineup. '",
With a hospital squad' of full ca
pacity, the gloom hangs thicker than
a Loudon log over the Cornhusker
camp.
Hard Battle Expected With Missouri.
Owen Frank, who scouted the
Tigers Saturday, said Missouri had
a stronger team than Iowa and the
southerners were not showing their
full strength with ihrfr nf th K.cf
men on the sidelines. Dr. Stewart
was at Lawrence inspecting the Jay
hawkers and he reported that Kan
sas had a powerful eleven. . Jay Bond,
who is now 'in charge of the squad
since Olcott joined the military, con
tended himself with keeping every
thing covered up and the Kansans
were willing to accept a small score
while they played a ountinsr tame.
The Jayhawkers have- a big team, he
said, ana wilt probably outweigh the
HuskersC '

Portland and Vernon Due
To Get Boot From Coast
The problem of the Pacific Coast
league's makeup next season appears
difficult of solution At a recent spec
ial meeting of the league magnates a
half hearted attempt wa9 made to
vote Portland out of the league, and
Salt Lake and Vernon were also
unofficially scheduled to go.
But when Judge W. W. McCredie,
owner of the Portland franchise, said
that the ousting of Portland would
be one of the best things that ever
happened to that team, the other mag
nates did not press the matter. Port
land is known to be a pretty consist
ent money getter.
However, wiseacres figure that the
makeup of the 1918 league might be
something like this: San Francisco,
Oakland, Sacremento, Salt Lake,
Fresno and Los Angeles.
T'nrtlanrt ihrAr av ' ia disrnntpntert.
and is bound to go, while Vernon IsJ
said to be a "white elephant, finan
cially. However, Vernon gives Los
Angeles continuous base ball and
holds a position of strategic im
portance on that account.
Sacremento has an actual request
before the house for another team In
the league. Bib business men of that
city are behind the move for a club,
and th Sacremento 'fans mount their
chairs at the mere suggestion that a
team might be brought to the capital.
Fresno, which sported a Coast league
team in years gone by, has made no
formal request, but has its ear to the
pipe line, ancLwill doubjless be heard
from "when the time is ripe"

Central High Eleven Boasts
240 Points and Uncrossed
Goal Line ; State Title
at Stake.
Lincoln aund Omaha Central High,
bitter rivals for a decade, tangle to
morrow on the Creighjon gridiron to
decide the state interscholastic title.
Each school has a team combining
speed, weight and team work. The
two teams are evenly matched in ev
ery department save that Lincoln is
reported to lack perfection in the
open game that Milligan's lads pos
sess. Lincoln, on the other hand, is
seported to have developed line
plunging game that rivals a European
"tank" in effectiveness. Although
local fans favor Omaha to gather in
the honors, Lincoln is just as confi
dent for victory.
The local team has the advantage
from the viewpoint of comparative
scores. The boys from the hill have
totaled 240 points this season and
havebut three points against them,
a field goal by Oswald of South High.
Their goal has not been crossed this
season. The Capital City lads have
amassed only 87 counters and have
allowed their goal to be crossed four
times by East Dcs Moines.
The two second teams will stage
a curtain raiser. The Lincoln seconds
have a clean record but the Omaha
reserves will give them the old fight
and hope to come off victors.
bchool spirit is at its highest pitch
in both schools and tickets are, being
bought in large quantities by business
men and alumni. Central hopes that
her two teams together will run up
56 points. "Chuck" Morearty was an
unexpected speaker at the mass meet
ing, yesterday at which the pupili
showed enough spirit to send any
team to victory.

Late Results Favor "Wets"
In Heated Ohio Election
Cincinnati, O., Nov. 7. The wet
and dry fight in Ohio seesawed here
today and through a disclosure of a
mistake alleged to have been made in
the Hamilton county tabulation, the
anti-prohibition forces claimed the
lead tonight by a majority of approxi
mately 7,000 votes with 246 precincts
yet to fate heard from.
Much of election night the drys
were in the lead. The wets forged
ahead in their turn and kept at it for
hours though their .advantage steadily
dwindled and at noon tdday the drys
overtook them. With more than 1,000
apparent majority the drys were
bombed from their hard-won trench
by the report of the mistake. The
bomb was exploded by H. L. Gibson,
manager of the wets In the Ohio
campaign, who asserted than an error
which cost, the wets 10,000 votes had
been discovered in the Hamilton
county (Cincinnati) tabulation.
It was not long before the assertion
of the weat leader1 was verified by a
member of the board of elections..

Says Husband is Dangerous
Man Because He Drives
Auto Much Too
Fast.
Marie Zahnow, suing her husband,
Robert, for divorce, -wants $30,000 ali
mony to salve her wounded feelings
for being left standing on the street
corners in Omaha while her husband
went into the saloons in imbibe. Also
he hit her on the head with the broom,
she says, and cruelly mistreated her
in other ways and humiliated her be
fore the children and neighbors.
Zahnow is a wealthy farmer living
near West Point, Neb. His farm, ac
cording to he petition, is worth $60,
000 and he receives $15,000 apnual in
come. But he is a dangerous man to
live with, she avers. He was in the
habit 6f driving nine miles homeward
bound in 13 minutes, among other
things.
The limit was reached, she said on
the witness stand Wednesday, when
he made a slurring reference to wo
men who wore high heeled shoes at
the Sunday dinner table, well know
ing that she, his wife, did in fact wear
such high heeled shoes. This was too
much. She declared she would leave
him. He broke the dishes and sec
onded the motion, and she left. Judge
Day is looking into the matter.
