Teams Are Ready For Big Contest Notre Dame to Reach Lincoln Today—Both Team# End Practice. i.incoln, Nov. }..—Today brought tho last hard workout of the Nebras ka football squad in preparation for the game with Notre Dame Saturday. It has been a week of strenuous drilling behind lockod gates and Ne braska is ready. The Indiana war riors, 30 or more strong, are on their way to Lincoln and are expected to arrive tomorrow morning. There will be tapering off practice during Fri day afternoon for both teams, but neither will take any risks in scrim mage play. Based on the season s record, all the odds are against Ne braska, but neither Coach Dawson, Captain Lewellen and the list of reg ulars of the Cornhusker eleven are willing to concede defeat in advance. The attendance promises to break the record on the local field. There will he a number of notables in the grandstands. Major General Duncan, commander of the Seventh corps area, with his staff, have their reser vations made. Tommy Gibbons, the pugilist, Is, planning to be on hand and nearly a hundred American Legion post commanders from over the state havo asked for seats. Gov ernor Bryan and several other state officers have announced their inten tion of seeing the game. A delega tion said to be nearly 1,000 strong is booked to arrive from Kansas City tomorrow night or Saturday morn ing. Beginning in 1015 and extending over a period of eight years, Nebras ka and Notre Dame football teams have met on the gridiron. Saturday's game will be the ninth time these teams have faced each other. A glance over previous scores tells a story more plainly than countless f 'words of descriptive matter. It isn’t the sweetest story ever told. It's a story of 22 youths with game hearts who have annually given their best to win for the institutions they rep resented. Ticket sales for the coming .Satur day are indicative of the feeling which exists in this section over a Notre Dame football game. A list of ticket purchasers and the distances they are traveling to see the game would probably be surpris ing if it was accurately complied. These spectators have been coming for eight years to see a battle and they've never been disappointed yet. Notre Dame. 35 strong, is heading this way, and will arrive Friday morning. They have been waiting just a year to avenge a defeat sus tained last year, which closed their season. The manner In which they have been going all season has made them favorites to realize this ambi tion. Although the gatee have been locked at stadium field all week. In formation has seeped out that the Huskers appear to have taken '■ brace. In early week scrimmage practice thejr are said to have been veritably manhandling the freshmen, showing more fire than has been in evidence all year. The scores: 1916—Nebraska, 20; Notre Deme, 19. 1916— Nebraska, 0; Notre Dame, 26. 1917— Nebraska, 7; Notre Dame, 0. 191*—N-braaka. 0; Notre Dame, 6. 9 into—Nebraska, 9; Notre Dame, 14. 1920—Nebraaka, 7; Notre Dame, 16. 1911’—Nebraaka. 0; Notre Dame. 7 1922—Nebraaka. 14: Notre Dame, 6. former Notre Dame Player Here for Game Lincoln, Nov. 8.—Fred (Red) Harris. Who played football, basket ball and baseball for Notra Dame back In 1910-1912, Is here to witness the Ne braska-Notre Dame football game Sat urday. “They are coming from as far west as the Pacific coast,” Harris said when asked If many pld Notre Dame Itudents were coming. Harris Is now connected with the Olympic club of San Francisco and has been trying lo line up a game for Notre Dame to play In the west during Christmas week. Leonard and Walker to Fieht Next Summer St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 8—Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, to-' day announced arrangements were being made for a bout between Mick ey Walker, welterweight champion, end himself. The bout probably will be next summer at a location not yet decided on, Leonard said. Illinois Not to Blame in Case. Urbana, 111., Nov. 8.—Illinois had no part In the disqualification of Ed 3. Gerber, Wisconsin tackle, George Huff, director of athletics at the Uni versity of Illinois stated. "We had never heard of the case unjll we read of it In today's papers," said Mr. Hoff. Interest In the Gerber case Is keen »n the Illipols campue, not only be :ause of Its effect on the Wisconsin ■Wlneirp In the game with Illinois Saturday, but also on account of the unpleasantness over eligibility a year »go, which resulted in the disquali fication of Augur and Murry, tackles tor Illinois and Wisconsin, reepec ilvely and nearly caused u break in :he athletic relations between the two universities.

"Multiopolis isn’t robbed where she was sure she was. Her ac counts balance in the departments we've gone over. Nobody gets the slick face, the glass eye, the lawn mower on his cocoanut, or done the candy suit from our work: but some folks I love had a near squeak, and I got a month vacation! Think of that, Miss Lily Peaches O'Halloran! (Jee, let's get things fixed up here ami have a party, to show the neighboring gentle meh what’s coming to them, before the w'eather gets so cold they won’t have timo to finish their Jobs this fall. Home of them will squirm, but we don’t care. Some of them will think they won’t do it, but they will. Kiss me, Lily! Hug me tight, and let me go dig on the furnace foundation ’til I sweat this out of me." When the children were sleeping that night he nut on the veranda and told Mrs. Harding and Peter exactly what he thought wise to repeat of the day s experience and no more; so that when he finished, all they knew was that the investigation was over, so far as Mr. Bruce was concerned, Mic key had a vacation, and was a happy boy. As she came to dinner the next day. Mary-laid a bundle of mail beside her father's plate. When he saw it. Peter, ns was his custom, reached for the HeraJd to read the war headline. He opened the paper, gave It a shake, stared at It In amazement, scanned a few lines and muttered: "Well for the Lord’s sake!" Then he glanced over the sheets at Mickey and back again. The family arose and hurried to a point of van tage at Peter's shoulder, while he spread the paper wide anil held It high so that all of them could see. Enclosed in a small ruTed space .they read: Sacred to the memory of the biggest scoop. That ev,r fell In Mister Chaff ncr's soup. And was pitched by this nicest editor-man, Where It belonged. In the garbage can, To please his friend, Michael O'Hulloran. Whoop fellers, whoop, for the drownded scoop, That d-parted this life In our Editor's soup! All together boyB, Scoop! Soup! Whoop! They rushed at Mickey, shook hands thumped, patted and praised him. when a wail arose to the point of reaching his consciousness "Mickey, what?" cried Peaches. "Let me take It Just a minute, Peter,” said Mickey. "Walt a second.* suggested Mrs. Harding, picking up a big roll that they had knocked to the floor. "'This doesn't look like catalogs, and It's addressed to you. Likely they’ve sent you some of your own.” "Now maybe Mr. t'haffner did,” said Mickey, almost at the bursting point. "Course ho Is awful busy, the busiest man in the world, I expeot. but he might have sent me a copy of my poetry, since he used It." With shaking fingers ho opened the roll, and there were several copies of 'he Herald similar to the one Peter W -V Clyde Cook “The Cyclic” K Wcllor-Maxwell J ami Wnlliank i KinoKramw lj Rialto Organ RIALTO | ORCHESTRA ^ held, and on the top of one was scrawled In pencil: “Your place, youi desk, and your salary are ready when ever you want to begin work. You can't come too soon to suit me.— Chaffner." Mickey read It aloud. "Gee!" he said. "1 'most wish I had education enough to begin right now. I'd like it! 1 could Just go crazy about that Job! Yes, honey! Yc*', I'm coming!" He caught up another paper, and hurried across the room, quietly but decidedly closing the door behind him. so when Mary started to follow. Junior interposed. "Better not, Molly.” he said. "Mickey wants to be alone with his family for a few minutes, gay father, ain't there a good many newspaper men worked all their lives, anil got no such show as that?" "I haven't a doubt of It," said Peter. “Micky must have written that, and sent It in before he came home yes terday,” said Mrs. Harding. “I call it pretty bright! I bet If the truth was told, something went wrong, and ho was at the bottom of shutting it up. Don't you call that pretty bright. PH?" “I guess I’m no fair Judge," said Peter. "I’m that prejudiced In his favor that when he said, See the cat negotiate the rat’ out of the burn, I thought it was smart." "Yes, and It was," commented Junior. “It's been funny for every body to ‘negotiate’ all sorts of things ever since that north pele business, so It was funny for the cat, too Father, do you th!nk that note really means that Mr. Chaffner would give Mickey a place on his paper, end puy him right now?" “I don't know why Phaffner would write It out and sign his name to It if he didn't mean It," said Peter. “You know he Is full of stuff like that," said Junior. "He could do some every day about people other than Peaches If he wanted to. Father, ain’t you glad lies In our family? Are you going to tell him to take that Job If he asks you?" "No I ain t," said i’eter. "He’s too young, and not the book learning to do himself Justh-e, while that place Is too grown tip and exciting for a hoy of his nerve force. Don't you think, Nancy?" "Yes, I do, hut you needn't worry.” said Mrs. Harding. "Mickey knows that himself.

He's taken care of himself too long to spoil his life now, and he will see It; but I marvel at C'haffner. He ought to have known better. And among us, I wonder at Mickey. Where did he get It from?'' "Kaay!" said Peter. "From a God fearing, intelligent mother, and an Ir responsible Irish father, from Inborn. Ingrained sense of right, and a hand to-hand scuffle with life in Multlupulta gutters. Mickey is all right, and thank God, he's ours! If he does show signs of wanting to go to the Herald office, discourage him all you can, ma; It wouldn't be good for him —yet." ' "No It wouldn’t; but It would Is* be aause he needs solid study and school routine to settle him. anti make him great Instead of a clown, as that would at his age. But if you think there Is anything In the Herald office that could hurt Mickey, you got an other think coming . It wouldn't hurt Mickey; but it would ho mighty good for the rest of them. The Herald has more honor and conscience than most; some of the papers nre Just disgrace ful in what they publish, ami then take back next day; while folks are forced to endure it. Sit up and eat your dinners now. I want to get on with my work." "Mickey, what happened?" begged Peaches as Mickey came In sight, carrying the paper*. He was trembling and tensely ex cited us her sharp eyes could see. They rested problngly a second on him, then on the paper. Her lips tightened while her eyes darkened. She stretched out her hand. "Mickey, let me see!" she com manded. Mickey knelt beside her, spreading out the sheet. Then he took her hand, setting a Anger on the first letter of his name and slowly moved along as she repeated the letters she knew best of all, then softly pronounced the name. She knew the Herald too. She sat so straight Mickey was afraid she would sprain her l>ack, lifting hor head "like a queen," If a queen lifts her head just as high as her neck can possibly stretch, and smiled it cold little Bmile of supreme self satisfac tion. "Now Mickey, go on and read what you wrote about me,” her highness commanded. The collapse of Mickey was sudden and complete. He stared at Peaches, at the paper, opened his lips, thought a lie and discarded it, shut his lips to pen the lie In for sure, and humbly nnd contritely waited, a silent candi-1 date for mercy. Peaches had none. To her this was the logical outcome of what she had been led to expect. There was the paper. The paper was the Herald. There was the front page. There was Mickey's name. She had no conception of Mickey writing a line which did not concern her; also he had expressly stated that all of them and the whole book were to be about her. She Indicated the paper and his name, while tho condescension of her waiting began to be touched with impatience. "Mickey, why don't you go on and read what it says about me?" she de manded. Mickey saw plainly what must bo done, lie gassed at her and suddenly, for the first time, a wave of some thing new and undefined rush d through hirn. This exquisitely dell cate and beautiful little highness, sit - j ting so proudly straight, arid so un I comprom-singly demanding that lie redeem his promise*, made a double appeal to Mickey. Her highness scared him until he was cold Inside. He was afraid, and he knew It. He wanted to run. and he knew it; yet no linnd of steel could have held hint as this bit of white femininity, liegin nlng to glow a soft pink from slowly enriching blood, now hold and forever would hold him, and best of all he knew that. It was In his heart to be a gentleman; there was nothing left Her Most Majestic Masterpiece j NORMA TALMADGE IK “ASHES OF VENGEANCE" STARTING STARTING SUNDAY SUNDAY KOTE-ThU Picture Will Kot lie Shown tn an, Other Theater In Omaha Thin Year.

He took both Peaches' hands, and began preparing her gently as was in his power for what had to come. “Yes Flowersy-girl,” he said, "I'll read it to you, but you won't under stand 'til I tell you-" "I always understand," she said sweeplngly. "You know' how wdld like I came home last night,” explained Mickey. “Well, I had reason. Home folks who have been good to us, and that I love like we love Peter and rr.fl. had been in awful danger of something that would make them sore all their lives, and maybe I had s>>me little part in putting it over, so it never touched them; anyway, they thought so, and I was tickled past all sense and reason about It. It was up to th% editor of the Herald to decide; and what he did, wds what I begged htm to. Course left to himself, he would a?done it any way, after he had time to think-" “Mickey, read my po'try piece about me, an’ then talk,” urged Peaches. "Honey, you make me so sick I can't tell you.” "Mickey, what's the matter?” Peaches’ penetrating eyes were slowly changing to accusing. She drew a deep breath, giving him his first cold, unrelenting look. "Mister Michael O'Halloran,” she said in incisive tones, “did you write a po'try piece for the first page of the Herald, not about me?" Well Miss Chicken," he cried, "I wish you wouldn't talk so much! I wish you'd let me tell you.” "I guess you ain't got anything to tell,” said Peaches, folding her arms and tilting her chin so high Mirkey feared she might topple backward. "I guess I have!” shouted Mickey. “I didn't put that there! I didn't mean It to be there! If I'd a put It i there, and meant it there, and know ed it would be there, it would a been about uyo, of course! Answer me this, Miss. Any single time did I ever not do anything that I said I would?" "Nothing but this," admitted Peaches. "There you go again!” said Mickey. "I tell you I didn't do this, and when I tell you, I tell true, Miss, get that in your system. If you'd let me explain how it was. you'd see that I didn't have a single thing to do with it ” Peaches accomplished a shrug that was wonderful, anil gazed at the cell ing, her Ups dosed. Mickey watched her a second, then he began softly: "Flowersy-glrl, I don't see what you mean! I don't know why you act like this! I don’t know what's to have a tantrum for, when I didn't mean it to bo there, and didn't know it would be there.
