Lick up a fun among the bae ball
moguls of Lincoln and the Western

with James Beltier, plana to enter
a bate ball team (lying Lincoln
colon in the itate league next sea
son, lias received a notice that the
" Western Base Ball league rua paid
for "protect ion" against any other
' circuit getting a foothold m Lin
coln. In the report received in Lincoln
it says that the National Base Ball
'association would not permit Lincoln
to have a state league under iis pro
tection.
"It doesn't look constitutional for
the association to prevent us playing
in the state league under association
" rulea unless the Western league it
self gets a franchise in Lincoln," said
Moon yesterday.
1 Just who started the report that
the Western league is against Lin-
coin or any other Nebraska town
from entering a team iti the proposed
. State Base Ball league is a question
that Secretary "Mike" Finn and Bar
. ney Burch of the Omaha club would
like to find out
If Lincoln and these Nebraska
towni only knew it, the Western
' league as a whole is anxious to have
a state league in Nebraska. Espec
ially are Finn and Burch anxious
that a state league is organized.
Why shouldn't they? It would not
only increase the interest in base
ball in this state, but would bring
several promising players to light
throughout the season.
Moon, who is behind the move
ment M organize a state league, says
he will advocate a state loop com
posed of outlaw base ball players if
the National Base "Ball " association
will not sanction a state league. ,
The State league delegates will
meet at Lincoln next Friday to com
plete plans for organizing the league.

i giving his men entire credit for the

. The uproarious proceedings were
considerably tamed by the sight of
the university flag, at half-mast, in
honor-of the four students who were
killed at a grade crossing, as they
were speeding eastward in an auto

Been much quarreling recently
among expert fanatics. Subject for
debate between nongraduating class

tion that is older. than hubs on Solo

Are haldheaded men more Intelli
gent than their bewhiskered-skulled

majority of lodge members you meet
are either bald or have hair it's im
possible to grab nonpartisan chirp
to interrogatory yodel. ,
This excludes natives most in

starts shrinking like violets in
spring poems, man gets very
morose on subject. When he is
younger and sole lessee of crop of
skull moss, he claims that bald-'
headed men are dizzier than cross
eyed tourist in mirror maze.
Later on in his over-garnished ca
reer his curly bangs start dropping
out like flatfooted devotees in long

Epidemic of Over-Confidence

Take Precautionary Measures
The fall epidemic of over-confidence la raging. Teams
having tasted nothing but eence of victory this season are
contracting the fatal malady and falling by the wayside.
Creighton university eleven is a fit subject for the
malady. Coaches MacBaldrige and Kreman Fitzgerald be
lieve. And although they are not placing any asafetida
around the stalwart warriors' necks, they are doing a lot of
-crabbing," which is their antidote for the. ego.
Four sweeping victories without a defeat is the Blue and White de
fenders' pace this seanon, which, in the opinion of the coaches, is apt to
mane oiuer veterans man tnose oi
Having put the team up to the
mentors are eager to make the whole season a campaign of victories.
Two Hard Games.
There are only two games of the five rrmainingwhich loom up as
dangerous. They are the contests with the Oklahoma Aggies here No
vember 12 and with the University of South Dakota here Thanksgiving day.
J he game with St. Xavicr should result in a Creighton triumph. St.
Louis university, which plays here a week from Saturday, is not a team
to be feared, since the Kansas Aggies mastered it in an early season game.
South Dakota
Neither does the game with South Dakota State throw fear into hearts
of the mentors. Creighton booters easily disposed of South Dakota Wes
leyans here in the opening game of the season, and the Wcsleyans gave
bouth Dakota Mate a tcrruic battle

suitable opponent for McArthur, a
Schlaifcr-Harvey Thorpe return bout
probably will be staged as the second
main event of the evening.
