    Husker-Sooner
Game Opens Field
First Conference Game of
Season Will Be First
in New Stadium.
Lincoln, Oct. 10—Still stinging
Under the decisive defeat sustained
Saturday at the hands of Bob Zup
pke's mini, the Nebraska football
team lost no time after its return
here in beginning to prepare for the
invasion of Bennie Owen and his
Oklahoma Sooners.
Word from the Sooner camp shows
that Bennie Owen is the same Bennie
Owen of former years. He has been
concentrating on an aerial attack,
just as he always has done before,
only this year he has something like
13 veterans—men who have come up
under hla tutelage and therefore
handle a football with the ease an
average layman does a baseball.
Oklahoma ad Nebraska have played
four games, the Huskers winning all
but one. That was In 1919 when a
7-7 tie developed. In 1921 the Ne
braskans sloshed through mud and
water to a 44 to 0 victory here and
last year they perspired through a
39 to 7 win at Norman in the face of
a hot, dusty wind.
Better weather conditions would be
a welcome change for both teams
when they line up Saturday here for
the first game to be played In the
new memorial stadium.
The first time Nebraska and Okla
homa played was in 1912 when the
Huskers withdrew with a 13 to 9 "vic
tory.
Owen was on hand at TJrbana and
watched the Huskers perform against
Illinois. Oklahoma has not yet played
this season and consequently no def
inite line can be gotten on Its
strength.
Oklahoma correspondents have been
flinging considerable "bear” from the
Sooner camp to the effect that the
freshman team looks better than the
varsity but the Nebraskans are not
easing off In face of these reports.
, The Saturday game opens the con
» ference season for both the Huskers
and Oklahoma.
Speaker Denies Engagement.
Cleveland. O., Oct. 10.—Reporta that
Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleve
land Indian*, is engaged to marry
Miss Frances Cudahy of Cleveland
were denied tonight by the Speaker
and Miss Cudahy.
Speaker admitted giving Miss
Cudahy a large diamond ring, but
both he and Miss Cudahy denied that
it signified their engagement. The
ring was merely a present, they said..
Speaker left tonight for a two
weeks’ fishing trip at Rainy Lakes,
Ontario. On his return he will go to
his home at Hubbard, Tex.
World Series Squibs
Long before the sun began doing Its
stuff today, several hundred baseball
fans were lined up at the general ad
mission gales of the Yankee stadium.
One wife sent a wire of thanks to
John McGraw. She said it was the
first time she's been able to get her
husband out of bed in the morning
since last October.
Mi A Brooklyn man claimed he had
been waiting in line so long that he
forgot what he was waiting for.
He went home to find out and when
he came hack his place was gone.
Another guy went up to the box of
fice and said he planned on seeing
all the games hdt he didn't have any
money. He wanted to know if he
could open a charge account.
He said he walked all the way from
St. Louis to bet on the Yank»es. The
chances are he'll have to walk back
there too.
Of course, the Yankees have a glad
chance of copping, the only thing
that could possibly keep them from
winning it, is the Giants.
But tti« games will be on the
square. Judge Landis has given us
cleaner baseball and fresher peanuts.
There’s bound to be a lot of ex
citement this afterncton. Babe Ruth
hae promised to put the ball over
the fence even if he has to send it
by express.
So far, the hero of the world's se
ries haen't been picked, but judging
from the number of cops they've got
around the gates, it'll probably be the
fellow who gets in for nothing.
One of the umpires bought a cou
ple of tickets to give away. With 65,
000 people In the stadium, he wants
to have at least two friends among
*"r them.
Nobody seems to want to guess on
the outcome of today's game except
Miller Huggins and yesterday he wan
the whole series In the Yankee locker
room.
• He called all the player* together
and told them that they were going
to win the pennant. When MoGraw
heard about it ho got no sore he tried
to have Huggins arrested for perjury.
But the manager of the Yankees
has hired a first elass orchestra and
every time Babe Rut-h steps up to
the bat he's going to have them
start playing "There’s No Place Like
Home."
Thousands of women are expected
at the stadium today, but most of
them will sit in a different section
of the bleacher;-' mo that the men can
enjoy the game too.
The betting around New York Is
very heavy. A lot of guys are such
reckless gamblers that they're willing
to bet the shirt off their hack hut
they’ve taken the precaution to put
on an extra pair of underwear.
So much motley has been placed
on the Giants that If the Yankees
win half the men in the bleachers
will look like they’ve been playing
strip poker.
The weather here is so chilly that
tho fans who haven't been able to get
their overcoats out of pawn arc tak
. mg hot water hags along with them.
Whether the Giants or Yankees win
this afternoon's game, the balance of
them will lie Just ns exciting, because
the man who invented baseball did
such a good Job of It. that he made
It impossible for both teams to lose
the world's series

Olympic Backs
Work Out Inside
_
Two more former Nebraska grid
iron performers were last night added
to the roster of the Omaha Olympics
club in preparation for the opening
game of the season next, Sunday
against the Tecumseh Wonder team
at league park.
They are Bob . Russell. Omaha
youth, former Central high gridster
and quarterback on the Cornhusker
team last year. It was Russell who
piloted the Cornhuskers to victory
over Notre Dame which crowned the
achievement ot the Huskers' 1922
schedule.
The other former Husker is Carl
Peterson, "The flghtin’est center Ne
braska ever had." Both Russell and
Hartley joined the Olympic backfield
last night In a private signal drill,
indoors. Chic Hartley and Edson
Shaw, both former captains of Corn
husker eleven*; Geye Leahy, former
Creighton star, and half a dozen other
candidates for backfield berths took
part In the signal drill, under direction
of Coach Shaw.
Three former Nebraska captains are
(o be In the Olympics' lineup. They
are Edson Shaw, captain in 1917 who
was named all western tackle; Clar
ence Swanson, captain of the Husker
team two years ago who was named
all American end, and Chic Hartley,
captain of the victorious Huskers of
1922.
Tecumseh Is to be represented by
a former Denver university backfipld
star, three Hastings college stars, one
West Point cadet who held a line
position on the cadets' team in 1919
and 1920, one former Colorado college
mii, and other lights of football world
several years ago.
Tecumseh has not been able to in
veigle? any other team in either Ne
braska or Iowa to play them this
season, according to Manager R. C.
Martin. “We have offered every in
ducement for games both at home and
abroad," said Martin last night over
long distance. "But the Olympics Is
the only club that has taken our
challenge.”
Last year the Tecumseh team
played the Olympics to a 0-to-0 tie.
On the last game of the season the
same teams met again and the
Olympics emerged victorious. 13 to 0.

JIMMY O’CONN ELI, ..
Outfielder, New York Giants.
Another expensive experiment of
McGraw's, although not exactly a
successful one to date. James is
said to have coat the Giants 175,000
( ne full season before he was allowed
to come east by the San Francisco
club. He hit well above .300 in the
Coast league for two seasons, but
was unable to repeat In the National
this year and. after being given every
chance to make good, was benched
by McGraw In favor of Stengel and
Cunningham.
O’Connell Is declared to have
perfect hatting form, however, and
expert* agree that he will come to
Ills best some time In the more or
less immediate future. He Is hard
ly likely to figure prominently In
the present series, however.
James was born in California 21

Luck Promises to Turn
on Attorney General
Twice Because of Coin
Washington, Oct. 10.—“If John Me
Graw knew as much about politics as
he does about baseball, he would be
able to nominate and elect any man
in the field president of the United
States.”
Tljis is the opinion of Attorney
General Harry M. Daugherty, ardent
Giant supporter, who through a trick
of fate, was compelled to bet against
his favorites at today's meeting of the
presidential cabinet.
There wan a somewhat heated dis
cussion of the relative merits of the
contending teams. A millionaire
cabinet member offered to wager on
the outcome. After listening to At
torney General Daugherty discuss the
baseball leadership of McGraw, this
cabinet member hedged to the ex
tent of insisting that a coin be flip
ped, the winner to have first choice.
, Attorney General Daugherty lost
and had to back tho Yankees, but
he says he is quite sure he will lose
again.

"Wanted. Five hundred dollars to
send rifle team to national conven
tlon at Frisco.”
That is the plaint of the Russell G.
Hughes American Deglon Rifle club
at present. With the Frisco special
leaving Omaha Thursday evening, and
one of the best legion rifle teams In
the country to send, it appears as
though lack of funds will prevent the
Comhusker riflemen from competing
in the big shoot this year. The local
rifle squad beasts of such shooters
as J. J. Jesse, Nebraska state cham
pion; Kd Perley, expert rifle and pis
tol shot; Adrian Mayer, expert rifle
man, Marine corps; William Dana,
who recently scored 49x50 at 200
yards off hand, and a dozen more men
who have qualified as sharpshooters
and expert riflemen while In service.
The squad practiced regularly during
the summer at the government range
at Plattsmouth and developed a team
which stands a good chance of cap
luring first place at the Frisco shoot,
if it can only get to Frisco.
Neither the state department nor
the local post wore able to finance
the sending of the team, owing to
shortage of funds, and apparently the
only hope the shooters have left Is a
purse made up by voluntary contribu
tions from legionnaires or other
philnnthroplcally Inclined Individuals.

Country club here.
The 16 survivors of the qualifying
round include Mrs. Dorothy Camp

A cloth with equal parts of sweet

Omaha Uni Squad
Slowly Mending
Omaha university football mem are
slowly mending after their hard
fought game of last Saturday. The
daily practice is light, principally
signal drill. Yesterday two of the
injured players were on the side lines
watching the squad go through the
drill. They were Peterson, his band
In gplints, and Sozendaugh, moving
about with the aid of a cane.
The game that was scheduled with
Central college for Thursday has been
called off because of the condition of
the team. It is now hoped that a
light scrimmage will he arranged be
tween the Omaha university and the
Technical High school squad for
Thursday afternoon.
If everything goes well the team
will meet the Tarkio eleven In their
next scheduled game. The event Is
slated for October 20 and promises to
be good. g
The Omaha team Is In a condition
(hat Is Just the reverse of last year.
It was the line that troubled the men
tor last year because it was so light,
the backfieid was exceptionally heavy
and looked good, until the line gave
way. This year It is the backfieid
that is causing all the worry and
grief. The line will average about
185 pounds to each man but the backs
are distressingly light. The four men
behind the line are fast, however, and
the hopes of the school are pinned
In their ability to “get through” any
hole that the linemen may create.
The practice scrimmage Thursday
will show whether or not the team
Is ready for another game. At pres
ent they look bad. Many of the un
injured players failed to show up at
practice and those, added the large
hospital list, made the group who
wore out look pitifully small.
Central Seconds
Victors in Game
“Woe unto Tech High," is the Pur
ple clan's motto this year. The sec
ond team started off with a bang
yesterday when they defeated the Ma
roon and White reserves hy an over
whelming score of 27 to 0.
The Central athletes were well rep
resented with three full teams of
gridsters, most of whom got Into the
game. After the first touchdown.
Coach Bexten sent in his second
Htringers against the Cuming street
lads, but the gold-jeraeyed eleven
pcored almost at will against the
Drummond reserves.
Central's passing was good, netting
one, of the touchdowns, when Jean
Caldwell, halfback, took the hall out
of the air and went 30 yards for a
touchdown. Caldwell's line plunging
and ability to snag passes were fea
tures of the contest. His run for 35
yards and another touchdown through
a broken field was the high spot of
the game.
