of the coaches for secrecy.- Last week

steps or sitting in windows of building's

DOAVE KLEVEX SHOWS UP WELL
Defeats Grand Island by Score of
Twenty-Two to Nothing.
. CRETK. Neb.. Oct. 15.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) The Doane team had Us first try
out of the season hero' today, defeating
Urand Island college, 2 to 0. The show
lug of the orange and black was all that
Its supporters had wished. Maresh In his
old placo at right half after a year's ab
sence was a tower of strength and his
old teammate, Karl Johnson, at quarter,
gave the finest exhibition of generalship
seen on these grounds In many a day. The
first north goal line after the Doane line
lad held Grand Island for downs follow
ing Doane s fumble of the first attempt
after the kick off. The Donne line showed
unusual defensive strength and Grand
Island failed to pierce It. Tbey next tried
a quarterback kick which netted them
first down. On another try of the same
kind Jack Ila41, Doane's half, caught, the
ball on the bound and rac'ud across the
Grand Island line for the second touch
down. Several times In the first half
loane was forced to surrender the ball on
downs within a few yards of. tho line. The
half closed wlln UoaiJe ;ia possession -of tho
ball and the line to make. The forward
Jas worked for first down twice, but lost
another time. Tsckle McClling was suc
cessful several times In bucking through
for good dlstanco and Medlar and Slonlger
were able to make their downs as well.
The third score, rania when Gra 1 Island
tried a forward , pa.a whlcB ' settled down
In tho arms. -of Griffiths, who replaced
Medlar at full. He .eluded the Grand
Island tacklirs and carried the ball over.
iMaresh kicked his second goal.
Coach Kuhrer now began sending his re
serves into the game, .and Hart well and
Harber repine! Maresh auS Hall In the
back field, 'While' Bwsnsori and Stewart
took center and light guard. Doane
worked the ball to the thirty-yard line
when Barber got loose around left end
find scored the fourth touchdown on a
pretty run. MUohell went In at quarter
and Tulley and Houth at ends. The ball
was carried steadily forward, but the cull
of time shut off the scoring.
Korab and Arnold showed good form
1n getting down under punts and the de
fenses of the center men, Dutch, Gun
nd Hansen was very grutifylng. After
tho slump of last year the fine prospects
for a wlunlng team, are very acceptable.
One of the features of the gsme was the
running back of punts by Johnson. Ho
corkscrewed his wsy oftentimes .. to the
place where the hull was kicked. ' Referee
Cornell penalised ' Doane a half dozen
times for one thing and another, but

In the state which was not able to defeat

have had a at'ifer aiguinent than the other

wliUh it will take more than this year to

the back Held was too light. None of the
back field men were ablj to maku an lm h

is the faun in placing acainst men who

tion ill be worse when playing against
men who have been trained together
throughout a season.
Another allowing was that there was not
