    Haskell Indians Demonstrate Their Playing Ability Upon Arrival in Omaha
-- _________, - -- - ■ ... -- ....
Redskins Show
Their Ability
Work Out for a Few Minutes
for Fans at High School
Gaines.
By L. C. GRAHAM.
One remark is being passed about
the campus of the Creighton univer
sltq, "The Indians are here.” The
remark began going the rounds early
yesterday and gradually gained mo
mentum until after the Redskins had
shown what they could do. it went
over the school like a giant wave.
And there was reason for It to
spread. The news of a great disaster
will spread rapidly and the exhibition
of forward passing that was given by
John Levi looked very much like a
disaster for the Blue and White.
Not that the Hilltoppers have no
chance to take the game. They as
suredly have a good chance if they
will start the game fighting and fight
every minute while the play lasts.
There Is just one thing that the
Indians will be unable to combat from
alt appearances. That thing is a good
fighting spirijt and a team that can
play the same fast game that- the
Haskells depend upon. Creighton, has
that Bpirlt somewhere. They have
kept it pretty well hidden up to date,
but with all the razzing that they
have gotten from their mentor. Chet
Winne. during the p.ast week they
may find the latent quality and make
use of it.
As for the Indians they have noth
ing to say. They trotted on to
Creighton field yesterday afternoon
between the high school games and
did their stuff. They punted and
chased passes to limber up their stif
fened muscles.
If John Levl can throw such a for
ward pass while his muscles are stiff
from travel—well, it will be worth
seeing what he does when he feels
right. His passes yesterday spun
true through the air for 60 and 60
yards. He threw with all the grace
of his race and just generally handled
the pigskin as though It were a horse
hide-covered baseball. After that ex
hibition It Is easily understood why
some of the fans want to know If
his work will be called "forward
passing" In the game today.
Levi also showed that his toe was
well educated when he booted a few
down the field. His punts were won
ders. but compared to his forward
passing, they might have been con
sidered almost mediocre. It is the
aerial game in which the Indians
shine and Levi is the whole team
there.
In running through signals the
team showed good speed and plenty of
ability to use their heads. That, of
course, was practice, but if they do
half as well on the field this afternoon
the score will look like a ticker tape
on a busy day in Wall street.
TV hile the Indians were showing
their stocky in trade, the Blue and
White warriors were not idle. There
< was no scrimmage, as Wynne wants
to take no chances on injuring any
of his men at the last minute, but
there was some good “brain drill.”
Besides being Instructed In the fine
points of the game, the squad was
"limbered up” in a light practice.
There is one thing certain, Crelgh
ton is going to play football at least
part of the time.
In the Missouri Valley conference
things are a little uncertain for to
day's battles. The unusual epidemic
of tie games last weekend tended to
make picking winners today a hard
proposition.
Nebraska stays at home and rests
for its coming contest with Notre
Dame. They stand in the lead posi
tion with 1,000 per cent and stand in
no danger of losing it. Ames and
Drake also stand up in the 1,000 col
umn. Kansas and Kansas Aggies
stand undefeated with two ties each
to their credit.
Missouri plays ths Aggies, Kansas
plays Oklahoma and Ames meets
Drake. Should Missouri trim the
Aggies, the Aggies will then be prac
tically out of the race. Should Kan
sas lose to Oklahoma, that team will
also be out. Should both win and
Ames tie with Drake, five teams will
be leading the conference with a
per cent of 1,000.
All of the teams are expressing
confidence of victory and all of them
have been playing about even foot
ball. The Mlssourl-Kansas Aggies’
game will be the feature of the day.
Those two teams have always been
keenest of rivals and have made a
great deal of trouble for each other.

Vermillion, 8. D., Nov. 2.—Pierce
McDowell, all conference half back
and captain of the South Dakota unl
* verslty football team, Is out of the
game for the rest of the season as
the result of a broken collar bone,

i\ew rule requiring the contenders
to pass all huoys to seaward.

Sportographs
By ELCEE.
Today is the day of the big horse
race. At last it will be known who
is the faster, Zev or My Own.
A horse race is a funny thing,
though. There will be possibly two
horses at the barrier that are looked
on as winners. The rest of the field
is just a minus quantity that happens
to be present.
The presence of the rest of the
field is sometimes disheartening
though. A horse without a chance
has been known to come galloping
in about three lengths ahead of the
nearest competitor.
In Memoriam may be that horse In
the race today. No one seems to'
think that In ' Memoriam has much
of a chance. But that horse has run
some excellent races this season and,
apparently, has not extended himself
doing it.
Should the outsider win, there will
undoubtedly be a number of wise
ones who will say I told you so.
These wise ones, however, very likely
will ask for the price of supper im
mediately after uttering such a wise
remark.
There are many of the racing fans
of the country who are praying that
My Own will win. Many of them
have no money in Jeopardy on the
race, but Admiral Caroy T. Grayson’s
sportsmanlike attitude at the time
of tlie International Honors race (for
a measly purse of $100,000) won their
hearts.
The admiral is evidently a racing
man of the old school. He believed
that the Jockey club was about to
selct a thoroughbred to carry the
national colors on its merits and not
from friendship. The admiral was
wrong.
He was a good sport, though, and
never murmured about a ‘‘raw deal.’’
He deserves a lot of credit.
Football will vie with horse racing
for first honors In the public's at
tention today. This Is the day that
all the colleges get together and try
to kick around certain representa
tives, elected to the exalted position
by merits.
One game that will demand much
attention is that between Notre Dame
and Purdue on Notre Dame's home
grounds. Another is the contest be
tween Michigan and Iowa State at
Iowa City.
Purdue has made an excellent show
ing so far this year, but general
opinion seems to be that the team
is due for a decisive trimming at the
hands of Knute Rockne's stars. Fun
ny how people get such opinions.
Knute has made his “gang** the
bugaboo of tills year’s football. Every
lime they go onto a gridiron the fans
begin to gather around to watch the
slaughter. 80 far there have been
uo disappointments for the customers.
The Mlchlgan-lowa game demands
its share of attention, not only be
cause it’s homecoming day and the
two teams happen to be rivals of a
violent nature, but because both teams
have trounced Ohio State by almost
the same score and this will give
everyone an opportunity to Judge
Just what the Big Ten has to offer.
It la seldom ttyat a western grid
star is selected on a national myth
ical eleven. (They are called national
because the man who selects them
happens to think of the word in a
moment of despair.) But if Iowa and
Michigan both show their stuff, as
they will, another star may be found
to combat some of Knute Rockne’s
entries. So far, friend Knute has had
things pretty much his own way.
Our old friend Dead Pan Loul hns
broken Into print once more. He has
now been Invited to mix a few friend
ly rounds with a Bolivian Indian
giant.
The giant It eald to reeemble the
prehistoric ape man. He stands 7
feet Z Inches In height and has an
arm spread of eight feet. Home man.
That should be a friendly boat. The
"WUd Bull of the Pampas" and a
"Prehistoric Ape Man."; Home com
bination.
Speaking of fights, the fight here
on November 7 (next Wednesday),
should be pretty fair when It comes
to milling. Jake Isaacson Is losing
no time, though lots of his sleep Is
getting mislaid, in his efforts to make
the bill the best ever.
A certain degree of success has met
his efforts so far. He has Miske
sore aa a boil because Brennan thinks
he can win. Brennan Is little cooler,
because someone told him the Omaha
fans think he can't fight.
This fight game la a great thing.
If a man Is peeved, really, honest,
and truly peeved, he draws a crowd.
If he has nothing but love of his
I fellow men In his heart the gang
stay away.
About this time tonight everyone
will know how good a team the
Haskell Indians hi(ve this year.
Probably the most satisfied seeker
of knowledge will be the Creighton
university football squad. They will
be equipped with first-hand Informa
tion. That Is always best, too.
The latest new* from the ramp of
Big Munn Is that he Is matched to
fight Jack Clifford of St. I’aul on No
vember If!. The fight Is scheduled
to take place In Sioux City and Is
to go 10 rounds.
nig Munn is the latest contender
for Jack Dempsey's crown. This is
i the first time that he has entered u
1 boxing ring to exchange blows with
a professional fighter.
Since Iowa Is a no derision state
Ihe only way that Munn will he able
to give fight followers a line on Ills
ability to fight Is for hhn to slip a
knockout punch to thq aspiring
Clifford.
At that Munn. or Muun's manager,
should Ijo given credit for using Ids
head. With no decision at the end
of the match It will be hard to hold
a defeat against the big Cornhusker.
I>ota of excitement. The fifth day
- of the six-day bicycle race Is over.

Hastings Trims
Doane; Score, 13-6
Hastings, Neb., Nov.* 2.—Hastings
college defeated Doane. 13 to 6, on
the local field this afternoon In the
last two minutes of play. The win
ning play was a long pass. Stephen to
Poore and Poore carried the pigskin
25 yards for the counter. Hastings
secured a six point lead in the first
half by well placed drop kicks from
Stephens boot which was held until
the third period when Doane pushed
the hall across the line for their only
counter.
The Hastings line did remarkable
work against heavier opponents and
showed fighting spirit which has
been characteristic of th* team
throughout the season.
For Doane Buck and Simon made
good yardage. Teamwork predomln
ated the bronco attack and Individ
ual honors are difficult to place.
Stephens and Breck could be counted
on for consistent gains. Stephens
played a heady game and pilot and
counted seven points by drop kicks.
Poore demonstrated matchless ability
