Commerce high school's hope for
a tate championship foot nan team
u-r Ktnun liinher than a kite at the
"Western league bae ball park yes-
terday afternoon when tne ?ouin
high achoot packers outplayed the
Bookkeeper throughout four per
iod! of gridiron battle and walked off
the field at the end ot me piaymg
time with a 24 to 7 victory over their
old-time rivals from the southern
nart nf our fair burflf.
It wa just another case of where
the dope bucket was not only
dumped, but it contents spilled over
an entire foot hall field. Coach James
Fatton's South high gridsters dis
played a dandy brand of ball from
start to finish and showed up near
ly UK) per cent better than they dia
against Central earlier in the season.
The South high backfield exhibited
speed, and plenty of it when needed,
while the front wall provided good
defense for the backs. The line also
' was quick in finding itself, and not
until the older quarters of the con-
test did the Ten-pushers dent ft for
many long gains.
Staid Tactics Used.
Rnth elevens deoended chiefly on
straight foot ball, relying principally
on line plunges, with now and tnen
a dash around end. Commerce at
tempted several passes and only one
of two of these were successful, so
well-drilled were the Packers in
fcreakinir un this stvle of attack.
i Commerce played desperately
from the moment the whistle started
the same until South left the grid
iron with its colors flying victorious
over the Leavenworth street grid
sters. Time and again the Book
keeper backs threw themselves
against the South line, but very few
times did they succeed in puncturing
the red-jerseyed line tor long gams.
Commerce skirted the ends and at
tempted trick plays, and in fact it
opened up with every style of play
it knew, but without success.
Durine the contest the Packers
reeled off .11 first downs, five of
which came in the first quarter, two
in the second, two in the third and
the same number in the fourth and
final periods. Commerce chalked up
six first downs throughout the mix,
four of which came in the second
quarter,, one in the third and one
in the fourth.
- Krasne Recovers Fumble.
Commerce won the flip and Act
ing Captain Harry De Voe selected
to defend the south coal. Hundreds
of students filled the west side of
the grandstand to witness the two
i gridiron elevens chase the pigsicin
up and down the fied.
Bernard started the game by
kicking to De Voe, who returned
10 yards. Commerce was unable to
frain and Swensen booted to South.
The Packers advanced the oval to
the three-yard line, where J. Gra
ham attempted a drop-kick. His
boot was low and Commerce blocked
the kick, R. Graham of the Pack
ers falling on the ball. Quarterback
"Rus" Graham called for an end
run, but the South back fumbled the
ball and Krasne of Commerce re
covered on his own 25-yard line. A
Commerce fumble then paved the
way for the first touchdown of the
game.
With South in possession of . the
ball on" Commerce's 20-yard line,
Bernard hit the left side of the
Bookkeepers' line for seven yards,
giving his team a first down. Spen
cer tore through the enemy line for
. another gain and the ball was1 On
' Commerce's five-yard line, where
South was presented with a five
yard penalty., A series of line plays
advanced the oval to the three-yard
line, where two plunges by J. Gra
ham carried the hall over the goal
line. He kicked his own goal.
Made Lone Touchdown.
After both teams had been bat
tling in about the center of the field
in; the second quarter, Krebs of
Commerce called for a forward pass
to Mack. The latter played his wing
wide and when the ball was snapped
raced down the field. The throw
was a dandy, but Spencer of South
interfered with the catch and the
Packers drew a 15-yard penalty
from where the foul was committed,
thus giving Commerce the ball on
South's 10-yard line. An end run
with Kury carrying the ball was
good for three yards and then
Krasne was called back from tackle
to perform. This husky lugged the
oval to within a foot of the line and
then on the following play, scored
Commerce's only touchdown of the
game. Swensen kicked goal.
; In the third quarter. South re
ceived a punt in about the center of
the field and by a series of line
smashes and end runs with first Ber
nard, then Sullivan and then Spen
cer carrying the pigskin advanced
to Commerce's 12-yard line. A pair
of line plays put the ball on the 5
yard line and then Bernard wiggled
his way through the Commerce team
for a touchdown, J. Graham kicking
the goal.
Graham Stan.
J. Graham's dropkick from the 35
yard line in the second quarter of
the game was one of the features of
the game. After his teammates had
carried the ball to the 28-yard line
and only 32 seconds left in which to
play before the half was completed.
Graham dropped back and booted
the ball over the cross-bar for three
. more points for South. The half
ended with South on the long end of
a 10 to 7 score
Commerce succeeded in plowing
through the South line for good
gains in the last half, but whenever
in South territory the Packers al
ways held and forced Swensen to
kick rather than lose the ball on
downs. Commerce lost the ball on
downs twice during the game, while
South always managed to punt when
in danger.
Caldwell of South recovered a
, Commerce fumble on the latter' 13-

Strong Foot Ball El even Greatest
Asset Smallest University Or
College Can Have Nowadays
By FRANK G. MENKE.
And now another scandal is thrust
among us.
It concerns toot ball.
Everybody in collegiate circles
seems to be accusing everybody else
and his neighbor of trying to swipe
yard line in the fourth quarter which
soon resulted in a touchdown for the
Packers. Bernard reeled ort ID yards
on an end run and then Commerce
was penalized 5 vards. placing: the
ball on the 8-yard mark where Ber
nard skirted the right end for his
second touchdown. Graham again
kicked the goal:
ihe game ended with the ball in
Commerce's possession on South's
25-yard line.
Play Stellar Game.
For the winners, the Graham
brothers, James and Russell, the lat
ter quarterback, played good games,
while Bernard, Sullivan and Spencer
come in tor a good share of the
credit given South for victory.
Une the line, Nixon at left tackle:
Mertlik at right guard and Caldwell
at right end were towers of strength
on the South line.
Commerce gridsters all olaved a
good game, too. but the work of
Swensen, DeVoe and Bowers in the
backfield and Krasne Mack and
Reiss on the line deserves mention.

- year - old on the English turf, is
Chicago. She proved this by
Middle Park stakes from a
gridiron talent. It is charged thaf
certain lures have been held forth
to gridiron stars for the purpose of
influencing them to jump from
one college to another.
"Gridiron piracy" that's the
thing.
Once upon a time a foot bailer
wasn't reckoned as a real college
treasure. That was in an era before
the dear, old, staid faculties awoke
to the fact that a starry foot ball
eleven was a million-dollar adver
tisement for whatever institution of
learning it represented.
But since the grand awakening
practically every college in Ameri'
ca has been feverishly engaged in
trying td lead "prep" school satel
lites through the portals of its . ar
ticular college. And because some
scouts failed to grab a youngster,
it is charged by rival institutions:
"These fellows have been try
ing to get our star players to quit
our school and go to theirs by the
promise of free tuition, free board
and free everything else."
The enrollment of each college,
of course, is drawn from graduates
of preparatory and high schools. Al
most every "prep" school kid eith
er is keen about indulging in athlet
ics or is a rabid rooter. Therefore,
when he moves along to a college, he
insists that it be one which has an
athletic reputation.
For no kid finds joy in rootifig for
a punk eleven. Nor does any young
ster with ability care to go to a col
lege, battle with everything in him
and get no recognition beyond the
campus confines.
Great foot ball teams can make
even the ' smallest college interna
tionally famous. If you don't believe
so, consider Centre and Georgia
Tech.- Vt .
A few years ago they were prac
tically unknown beyond the town
that housed them. That was an era
before they achieved foot ball great
ness. When their elevens ' began to
steam roll those from huge colleges,
Centre and Georgia Tech gained mil
lions of lines- of publicity and a
greatly increased- student enroll
ment. i
Every college already great in a
foot ball way is trying to become
a bit greater. And those not so great
are attempting gre itness. And sd it
is that foot ball piracy has come to
afflict the cbllege world--and every
body is throwing brickbats and
harsh words at his neighbor.
But beyond that nothing has hap
pened and the piratical efforts con
tinue. For colleges these days seem
to want great elevens and doggone
the cost.

Four Veterans Will Return
To Fold When Bashet Ball
Starts at Iowa State College
Ames, la., Nov. 3. Four of last
year's "letter men" will be available
for the varsity basket ball team at
Iowa state college this season, ac
cording to the new coach, "Bill"
Chandler, a former Wisconsin play
er. They are: Green, Currie, In
nes and Woodward.
Green, playing his second season,
is rated as an exceptionally fast
player. He was chosen almost
unanimously all-state forward last
year. Innes. playing his last year
varsity basket ball, likely will be se
lected for center position again this
season. Capt Jack Currie, also
playing his last year, and Wood
ward, are expected to play guard
positions.
Practice was started last week
with 25 candidates trying for the
team. Green and Currie will report
for practice immediately after the
foot ball season.
The coach is not yet familiar with
the past performances of the play
ers, but thus far he has only picked

. Chicago, Nov. 3 (Special ) The
University of Nebraska foot ball
team arrived in Chicago early this
morning and at 10 o'clock went out
to the University of Chicago, where
a stiff three hours practice was held
on btagtr field.

and the team was drilled for an hour
or so in new formations. No scrim-
majie was on the order of events.
as the coach is taking no chances
of having any of the 25 men crippled
for the Saturday came with Pitts
burgh, which is undoubtedly one of
the hardest games of the season.
In the afternoon the team and
coaches attended a show and got
foot ball off their minds for a while.
All the men are in fine spirits and
good physical condition, and no mat
ter who wins, Nebraska will cive
all it has in Saturday's game. The
team left Chicago at 8 o'clock to
night and will arrive in Pittsburgh
at 9 Friday morning.
Practice will be held on Forbc's
field about noon Friday and from
then until the game the Nebraska
team will rest up. -
This mcetinp- of the east and the
middlewest is commandinp- consider
able attention and should Nebraska
defeat its eastern opponent, too much
credit cannot be given the team, and
according to one of the Nebraska
coaches, Pittsburgh will have to go
some.
Condon to Start
Against St. Louis
Star Creighton Fullback Will
Return to Came Next
Saturday.
The Creighton lineup which will
meet bt. Louis Saturday is fairly
certain. The coaches have been
changing the men about continually,
especially the ends and backfield,
but yesterday they seemed to have
the big problem about solved.
Jimmy Condon, star fullback,
scrimmaged Wednesday; for the first
time since he was injured in the
Kansas Aggie game two weeks ago,
It is very likely that he will break
into the St. Louis game, thus reliev
ing Baldrige of a good share of his
backfield worry. Condon may be
shifted to halfback position for at
least part of the game, and Tevlin
may start at full, as thire is a dearth
of halfbacks, since the freshmen are
declared out.
Another big problem is left end;
this position has been ably taken
care of by Captain "Hump Emery
and "Ike" Mahoney, but the eligibil
ity ax has fallen on both these men,
Erehart, a new man, seems to be the
only player of any note who is de
pendable enough to hold down this
wing.
"Ike" Mahoney, the "Irish Flash,"
received a minor injury to his nose
in the St. Xavier game at Cincinnati
and was permitted to -rest during
practice hours Wednesday. "Ike's"
work at end continues to be the sen
sation of every practice he takes pan
in, and Creighton followers acclaim
him to be by far the best forward
pass receiver who ever stepped on
their field.

The strength of Creighton' grid
machine with freshmen and 4-ytar-players
on the side lines will be gath
ered from the coming game. Just
what could be expected of the torals
this season had thry been playing
conference rules might also be ab
sorbed by close followers of the uni
versity during the Rame.
It is the plan of the Creighton
athletic oihrials to apply for mem
bership in the Valley league in 19.' J.
Next year Creighton will start play
ing under the conference rules and
by the following season will be ready
to nrcak into te Valley race.
The majority of schools now in
the conference seem to favor adding
another team to the league. During
the Iowa state college and Creighton
game here last season, Charles May
ser, athletic director of the Cyclones
favored Creighton as a member of
the conference. Reports received
from other Valley schools bring the
news that ''with the locals playing
conference rules Creighton would be
welcomed in the Valley family.
Somebody turned off the gas and
lit the Old Stove again, and the
base ball bugs are now planning for
a meeting to be held in sterling,
Colo., early in November to lay
plans for an organization of a base
ball league to comprise the leading
towns of Colorado, Nebraska and

Head Not to Permit Hii
Men to Play With
Cfdeon.
Chicago, Nov. 3. Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Landis, commissioner of
base ball, twiight wired William
McCarthy, president of the i'acilic
Coast league, advising him not to
permit players of hii league to par.
ticipate in any games in which Joa
Gcdeon, former infielder of the St.
Louis Americans, was in the lineup.
The rutins followed receipt oi a
telegram from President McCarthy
last week inquiring about the status
of Joe Gcdeon. At that time Mr.
McCarthy advised the judge that a
ball same was scheduled to be
I played on the coast, in which coast
league players were to participate.
Gcdeon was scheduled to be a mem
ber of one of the clubs. The game
was to be played November II.
Gedcon was given his uncondition
al releases by President Phil Ball
of the St. Louis American It-ague
club after he had testified before the
Cook county grand jury here, re
garding the throwing of the world's
series games by the Chicago White
Sox to the Cincinnati Nationals in
1919.
Gedeon was alleged to have been
"tipped" off that Cincinnati was to
win the series, and was understood
to have so informed some of his
friends. He came to Chicago from
Sacramento at the request of Presi
dent B. B. Johnson of the American
league, and told his story to the
crand jury.
During the past season Gedeon
did not play organized ball.
Judge Landis said he had no com
ment to make on the decision, ex
cept that Gedeon was on the ineli
gible list and that it would therefore
be contrary to the rules to permit
players in good standing to partici
pate in games in 'which Gedcon
played.
