Fast Games Mark
Day of Football
High School Teams From All
Parts of Nebraska
Clash.
High school football featured on
gridirons yesterday. Teams from all
parts of Nebraska clashed, some to
meet' their first defeat of the season
and some to go on with an unblemish
ed record.
In Omaha the squads from South
high and Creighton prep clashed ear
ly in the afternoon. The game was
fast and the teams played football
every minute of the time. The Pack
era were out to retrieve their honor
from the defeat they suffered at the
hands of Lincoln high in the first
game of the season and succeeded In
leaving the field victors with a score
of 14 to 7.
The Central high gridsters simply
van away with the visitors from Bea
trice. Central met defeat at the hands
of Sioux City high last week but this
time they romped up and down the
field trampling on the Beatrice repre
aentatives and snowing them under
with a score of 62 to 0.
At Tekamah the Hooper aggrega
tion came a visiting, clashed with the
Tekamah squad, then went home do
feated by a score of 60 to 0. Hooper
hardly had a chance against the su
perior gridsters on their home
grounds.
Cambridge defeated the Curtis Ag
gies on the Cambridge field, 19 to 6.
Cambridge team showed better ability
as "mudders” than their rivals. The
gridiron was a veritable sea of mud
as a result of the recent rains. Cur
tis’ one touchdown was scored by
Nieholai when he blocked a punt, re
covered the ball and carried it
through for a score. The goal at
tempt was missed.
Gothenburg high met defeat for tbe
first time this year when tKey clashed
with the Broken Bow aggregation yes
terday on the Broken Bow gridiron.
The ball was in Gothenburg’s terri
tory most of the time. The final score
stood 13 to 0. Almost ail of the
scoring was-.done in the first part
of the game. Broken Bow still stands
undefeated.
The David City gridsters defeated
the Fullerton outfit, 30 to 9, in a fast
game at Davjd City. The teams were
well matched In weight but the Da
vid City squad showed more speed.
At Adams the Adams high clashed
with and defeated the Dewitt high
team. Ths final score was 13 to 7.
Both teams played an excellent brand
of football and gave a good exhi
bition.
Kearney high team went to Grand
Islaj.d for their trimming. They play
ed a wonderful game and the Grand
Islanders were unable to score cn
them at all until near the end of the
first half when an aerial game opened
up the field and let them march
through for a touchdown. As long
as they played straight football the
teams were very evenly matched.
The final score was 6 to 0.
Crawford high played a game earlv
In the ^ek with the Scottsbiuff or
ganization.. Crawford cinched their
hold on tfie western state title by
Winding, 16 to 7.
Among the colleges Hastings defeat
ed Corner by a score of 38 to 9 on
the Hastings gridiron.
Another undefeated team was again
victorious when the Beaver City
squad clashed with the team from
Alma and won by a 26 to 12 score.
The field was very muddy and that
failed to help Alma In the least,
l.eaver City considers themselves
champions of southwest Nebraska.
Kearney State Teachers' college snd
Peru Normal football machines bat
tled to a ho score tie today. The
last half of the game was played In
a drizzling rain. Twice the visitors
were within a few yards of the
< ovcted touchdown, only to be held
»y the locals.
At Pender the Oakland team suc
cumbed to the Pender aggregation by
a score of 33 to 0. The game was
fast, but the- Oakland representatives
were hopelessly outclassed.
The York team won from Univer
sity Place high sctfbol by a score of
14 to 0 on the University Place
wme grounds.
The Columbus High school team de
feated Albion High school at Colum

ATTRACTING LOTS OP ATTENTION
Brookings, s. d. oct. 39.—
Probably no same In this year’s
trophy rnce in the N. C. confer
ence will attract the attention that
the Hilltopper-Jackrabbit clash, at
Brookings on Hobo Day, 1s arousing.
From the present outlook, calculated
on the basis of ticket sales, inquiries
and newspaper comments, the crowd
will exceed last year's R,000 mark, If
the weather is favorable. Amid the
general 'bustle of preparation at the
Jackrabbtt institution, no one thing
is receiving a fraction of the atten
tion given that football machine.
After a defeat at the hands of the
North Dakota Aggies, West's men
are showing a new drive and spirit
that has not made its appearance on
State's gridiron so far thi3 year. The
green Jackrabbits learned more things
than weeks of practice could have
given them. Where there was a
bunch of men last week, there seem
ed to bo the first real indications of
a football machine as the squad went
through the early practices of the
week. r
With the prospect of being consid
erably overweighed the Jaekrabbit for
ward wall faces the biggest task of
any of the elements of the machine.
Against both Kansas university and
the Kansas Aggies the Blues showed
considerable strength in both punc
turing the line and stopping the
plunging Missouri Valley conference
backs. State realizes that its hopes
. for victory in tho feature vcontest
largely depend on the showing of the
line and no effort Is being wasted to
create strength in the forward wall.
Since both of Creighton's games
with tho Kansas teams have been
played in extremely muddy fields, It
Is hard to Judge the real strength of
their backs. However, Yechout a(
fullback has made his mark In the
football world with his showing prev
ious years and will no doubt be at
the top of his form next Saturday.
From his showing in the Kansas
Aggie game, Fltzgibbon at left half
is going to be another trouble maker
for the Jackrabbits. He can pass,
kick and run and do all of them well
enough to make the best defense work
at top speed.
From tho showing made In the
Bison clash, it Is probable that the
tjuartet of ball carriers who will
start for State will be Welch. Owens,
Coffey anil Rlegart. With the excep
tion of Biegart these t men are all
hardened into the battle grind by two
year’s of previous participation. Bie
gert played all of tho Bison game and
showed up td havo lots of promise in
the future contests, although he still
lacks lots of things that only time
can bring.
Kelly slso gave a good account of
bis ability and will be almost sure
to be used. Clobes, who was kept out
cf the Bison game with an injured
leg, will be ready to start Saturday
if he is called oil.
Princeton Game

the ball at 20 yards to within strik
ing distance of the posts.

vistng Auburn team by a score of 13
to 0. Both team* played excellent
football but the Tecumaehs had tho
"breaks.”

25 to 12, in a game at Schuyler. Both
teams played as though an amassed
score was the goal of all efforts.

Makes One Bet and Now
Stands to Win Fortune
of 15,000,000 Francs
Paris, Oct. 19.—Through the victory
of A. K. MarComber’s Rose Prince in
the Cesariwitcii stakes at Newmarket
yesterday. Pierre Wertheimer, the
French horseman, owner of Eplnard,
the noted French 3 year-old, stands to
win £210,000 or roughly 15,000,000
francs, without risking a single cen
time of his own money should his
horse finish first in the Cambridge
shire stakes on October 31 at New
market.
Some weeks ago a firm of London
bookmakers laid Wertheimer 30 to 1
against Rose Prince in the Cesari
witch, the winnings, if any, to go to
Eplnard at 6 to 1 for the Cambridge
shire. Thus Wertheimer, after with
drawing his original stake of £1,000
has £30,000 working for him against
£180.000, virtually obtaining ISO to 1
against the French crack, which is
now a strong .favorite in the future
books at 3 to 1.
The Noire Dame football team is a
top favorite in the game with Prince
ton to be played Saturday. On Wall
street Notre Dame Is a 2-to-l favorite.
Princeton follower* are confident the
Tigers can stop the Catholics' passes
and runs.
Officials Explain My Own’s
Appearance at Belmont Track
-A,,.,*’/ r"V- - * , <J * •
, ,V; tv >Yorlt, /M, J8,—A,n exception
ally brilliant workout by Papyrus,
with Stove Donoghus up, In the Eng
lish derby winner’s final speed teHt,
and orders for the shipment here of
Hear Admiral Cary T. Grayson's My
Own, ready to substitute for Ztv In
an Emergency, were developments
that held the center of lnterett ,|o
might In the $100,000 lntern(Jji|l
turf classic to be run next HaMTufly
at Belmont park.
The Jockey club’s International
race committee late today decided to
have My Owdi here as a prpeautlonary
measure, it was announced by MaJ.
August Belmont, "Humrnittee chair
man, who denied rh^t ally eleventh
hour shift in the hrt'Se which Will car
ry America's colors was contemplat
ed. Coming on top of criticism of Zev's
showing in workouts for the match
race, however, the Jockey club's step
had been interpreted in some quar
ters as indicating the possible "with
drawal of the Kancoeas colt.
Major Belmont explained that the
enmmittdb simply desired to leave
nothing to chance, pointing out that
My Own was designated as first al
ternate by the committee and that
Untidy, the second alternate, already
had been eliminated as a possible
KUbSfitutrf' t.V breaking down.
Meanwhile Papyrus’ chances of vic
tory in the cup race were considerably
enhanced in turf circles by the colt's
final trial this morning, in which
Donnghue guided the derby winnei
a mile and a furlong in 1:512-5. One
of the immediate results was the
sharp decline of betting odds to even
money, whereas about a week ago
they stood at 3 tp 1 op the American
entry.
A slow, steady rain, which began
falling this afternoon, carried a threat
of rain for the turf classic. This
may have the effect of re-establishing
Zev In public favor to some extent,
since he has a wide reputation as a
mud horse. Papyrus, however, it was
pointed out, won one of his hardest
races of the year, the Duke of York
stakes, at a mile and a quarter, over
a track ankle deep in mud.
■ The statement of Major Belmont
concerning the shipment of My Own
to the track for emergency purposes,
in part, follows:
"Leaving nothing to the element
of chance that had already removed
Untidy from consideration, the filly
breaking down recently at Latonia,
the committee asked Hear Admiral

Grayson to have his colt worked to
day, just as though ije, Instead of
Zcv, were scheduled to meet Papyrus
on Saturday. Admiral Grayson had
been asked previously to keep hla
colt in readiness and that this was
done was shown in the recent run
ning of the Laurel handicap, which
My Own won, covering the mile and
a quarter in time that was close to
the truck record, with 128 pounds
in the saddle.
"The presence of My Own on the
grounds at Belmont park to cover
any contingency was a further pre
caution by the committee, and ar
rangements were perfected to have
the colt come from the Laurel race
course to the stable of Max Hirsch
at the Queens course by special
train. My Own should be at Bel
mont park early Friday morning."

Harry Says:
"Friends Are a Great Asset”
A friend of mine, who is well posted on conditions
in the woolen nnd clothing markets, tipped me off
about a high grade clothing manufacturer who went ,
bankrupt, and whose stock of woolens was to be sold
at auction. I knew my friend was a good judge of
Aoolena, but to convince myself, I jumped on the
first Chicago-bound train, and when I saw their
stock I had to admit that it was everything that my
friend had said it was.
I bought as much ns my bankroll would permit, and
bought it at such a ridiculously low price that it will
enable me to offer the men of Omaha nnd vicinity
the Greatest Tailoring Value that was ever put be
fore them. I was doubly anxious t.i secure these
woolens, so that every man for miles around could
help me eclcbrntc my first birthday.
You know, men, knowledge is the greatest thing in
the world. The only way to know it is to find out.
It costs you not one penny to stroll into my shop
and see those fabrics. If they are no’ absolutely up
to your expectations, you can stroll right out again
It is just a year ago since 1 threw- my doors open
to the men of Omaha They told me that Omaha
men were very skeptical and that there was no room
here for a merchant "ho was a “Jipper." I Marled
laving my plans to meet the men a.s 1 myself would
want to he met. and 1 can now say with pride that I
have thousands of Omaha’s host business and pro
fessioual men as my boosters,
so 1 urge you men to bo here Saturday and help me
celebrate my first birthday, and in doing so, share
in my wonderful tailoring values
