    Three Men Are Off
Creighton Squad
Mahoney, Fitzgibbon and Gay
k er Are on Sick List After
Last Game.
Light practice, mainly signal run
ning and limbering up exercises,
made up the work of the Purple and
White squad yesterday afternoon. The
squad seemed a little the worse for
wear after its engagement of last Sat
urday.
Three of the supports of the Hill
toppers' eleven have been placed on
the hospital list and none of them
may get into the game with the Des
Moines team this coming Saturday.
Mahoney, fast quarterback, is out
with a badly split lip. Mahoney re
fused to leave the game after he had
sustained the Injury, but now that
the time has come to relax, he finds
that two stitches may a lip mighty
sore. He has hopes of being o. k.
by the end of the week, but there are
lots of pessimists.
Fitzgibbon came out of the fray
with a bad ankle, and he Is undoubt
edly out of the game for a week or
more. Gayer also was put out of
the play and things look now as
though he was done for some time.
All in all, the squad looked shaky
and pretty much all in. As Chet
Wynne, mentor, said, however, they
always look bad right after a hard
fight and his hopes are high that the
lineup will be as strong as ever when
they clash with the Tigers.
Throughout the season Creighton
has had a lot of tough breaks. They
won their first game, but have
dropped every game since then. Al
ways the ioss has come, not as a re
suit of poor playing, but from breaks
that went to the other side. In the
Kansas game the Blue and White
gridsters were up against a tough
proposition on a muddy field and a
drizzling rain. A multitude of fum
bles led to their downfall and one
fumble near the goal line llbnt them.
The game with the Kansas Aggies
went the same way. A rain, a muddy
field, some fumbles and the game
ended 6 to 0 against Creighton.
For some reason the Hilitoppers
seemed to weaken at the very last
in their game with South Dakota
State. The score gave Creighton a
fine lead, then suddenly the Jack
rabbits began to fairly run away with
them. Dakota scored three touch
downs and won.
Chet Wynne keeps all theso things
In mind and some very good material
among the reserves may save the
day for him if his three prized players
fail to regain their health in time to
get into the lineup against the Tigers.

' Railway Terms Defined
STATEMENTS OF RAILWAY OPERATIONS are often misunderstood and
frequently misquoted on the public platform and in published articles.
The following information is given to assist in securing a clearer under
standing of the terms employed in stating the results of railway opera- *
tions.
RAILWAY OPERATING REVENUE: This consists of all revenue receiv
ed by the railway for transportation services, including freight, passen
ger, mail, express and other allied services. This also includes revenue
arising from storage, demurrage, and other activities incident to the per
formance of transportation, in fact, all revenue growing out of the trans
portation activities of a railway.
RAILWAY OPERATING EXPENSES are those expenses incurred In con
nection with the performance of transportation services, including mainten
ance of fixed property, locomotives and cars, together with the expense
of wages, fuel, material and supplies necessary for the movement of traf
fic, but not including taxes or payments for the use of other companies'
equipment and property used jointly.
NET REVENUE FROM RAILWAY OPERATION is the railway operating
revenue, defined above, less the railway operating expenses.
NET RAILWAY OPERATING INCOME is the net revenue from railway
operation less taxes, uncollectible revenue, payments for use of other com
panies’ equipment and facilities used jointly. This is the amount which
the railway company realizes from its transportation activities, and is
available for the payment of rentals of leased lines and interest on indebt
edness; the remainder, if any, may be carried to surplus or applied to divi
dends.
REASONABLE RETURNS: The Transportation Act requires the Interstate
Commerce Commission to ascertain the value of railway property and
name a reasonable rate of return upon the same. This rate they have fixed
at 5% per cent. A railroad, whose value has been ascertained by the
Commission to be 100 million dollars, and whose “net railway operating*in
come” is 5% million dollars annually, is receiving the reasonable return of
5% per cent upon its property, as fixed by the Commission.
The net revenue from railway operation should not be confused with net
railway operating income. The necessity of this is apparent when it is real
ized that the net revenue from the railway operation of all Class I rnilways
in the United States in the year 1922 was $1,144,051,185, while the net
railway operating income was but $759,945,517, a difference of $585.
105,668.
All the railroads in the United States are required by law to mnko reports
under oath of their activities to the Interstate Commerce Commission, us
ing the terms above which are prescribed by that Commission. These re
ports are on file in the Commission’s offices at Washington, and are avail
able to the public.

Stories
By THORNTON W. Bl'RGKSS.
Tim Great Shadow.
Fear cants a shadow far and wide,
And from It there'* no nlaca to hide.
—Old Mother Nature.
Crisp and clear and beautiful were
the October days. Painted In gay
colors were the leaves. Food was
plentiful, and Mother Nature was do
ing her best to spread joy and con
tentment everywhere. But there was
no joy for the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadow
A shadow lay over them, although
Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun shone
day after day. It was the most dread
ful of all shadows, the shadow of
great fear. Only when the Black
Shadows from the Purple Hills
brought darkness did that shadow
of fear lift. It returned each day
with the coming of light. The dread
ful hunting season was on.
Now. as you know, no hunters
were allowed on Farmer Brown's
land. The little people who lived
there knew this. But still the shadow
of fear lay over them. It was not
just fear for themselves, but fear for
their friends who diif not live on
Farmer Brown's land. And there was
some fear for themselves, for they
had learned that there were hunters
who did not heed signs If they
thought there was a chance that
they would not be caught.
In, all directions the bang, bang of
terrible guns could be heard from
daylight to dark. With every bang
the little people In feathers and fur
would shiver, and their hearts would
be filled with dread and sadness.
Each time they wondered which of
their friends they would see no more.
Day after day stories of dreadful
things were brought to the little peo
ple of the Green Meadow and In the
Green Forest. They were stories that
were whispered, for they were too
dreadful to tell aloud. They were not
the stories of those who had been
killed that seemed so dreadful. They
were the stories of those who had
been wounded, but had escaped the
hunters, only to suffer helplessly.
So the beautiful October days were
filled with dread. The little people
In feather* and fur became so filled
with fear that the rustling of a fall
ing leaf would make their hearts
Jump. They ate because they must
live. But they took no Joy in their
food. They ate hurriedly, snatching
a bite and then looking and listening
for the approach of a hunter with a
terrible gun. Between meals they
sought hiding places. Even those
who were supposed to be protected
by the laws passed by man, shared
in thl* dreadful fear, for they had
learned that there were hunters who
would shoot at any living thing Not
even Striped Chipmunk was safe.from
these hunters.
Peter Babbit kept close to the dear
Old Briar Patch. Only at night did
he leave It. Always by the break of
day he was back there. Reddy Fox
and Old Man Coyote never came out
of hiding until the Black Shadows
had appeared. Rongblll the Wood
cock kept to the deepest thickets he
could find. Blacky Ihe Crow In pass
ing to and fro flew higher than he
was in the habit of doing. Sammy
Jay was strangely silent. And so the
shadow of fear lay over all the beau
tiful landscape.

Couldn't Shoot.”
