Practice behind cloned (rates Is the order fur the Cornhuskers until the Kansas (tame. "King" Cole Inaugurated the secret ses sions yesterday afternoon when he began using new plays, having the varsity try them against the scrubs, who were sup plied with a full line of Jayhawker tricks. In the past It has been Cole's custom to hold only one or two hours of practice In secret before a big game, but the Kan sas game means so much to Nebraska this year that tse head coach has decided to take no needless chances of exposing his plays to Jayhawker spies. Then, too, the Cornhuskers have well In mind the game with Kennedy's men last season, when the Jayhawkera knew all the Ne- fffraska plays. That looked suspicious and caused the Cornhuskers 'to be on their guard this fall. In practice today the scrubs tried the Kansas defense against the varsity's new plays and failed to hold up. The first team men found the weak spots In the scrubs' play and penetrated for long gains. The scrubs on the offense were thrown back repeatedly for big losses when at tempts to drive through the Cornhusker line were made. The onside kick and forward pass, of which Kansas has boasted so much this fall, Is coming In for great consideration hy Cole's men. He Is drilling his play ers to break up the worward pass forma tions, and had the scrubs use the Jay hawkers' pass In practice today. The ef forts of the varsity to spoil these plays failed miserably most of ' the time and showed very plainly that Cole has much work yet to do before his players will be In shape to cope with the offensive tactics of Kennedy's tribe. There Is still evident a great weakness among the Cornhuskers in driving down the field under punts. They were, ex tremely slow In this department of play this afternoon. Instead of being down the field to tackle a player as .soon as he receives a punt, they appear to wait for him to get the oval and the nstart back with It. ' This gives the opposing side a chance to gain many yards that could be denied them by a little more effort on the part of the Cornhuskers. ; Cole announced today that all the regu lars would get to play a part of the game with Donne Saturday. He said he would probably let the regular lineup start the game and then, as soon aa the scoring started, he would begin taking out the regulars ami replacing them with substi tutes. The athletic board has decided to present each varsity Cornhusker with a solid gold foot ball for a watch fob If Nebraska defeats Kansas next week. The players were told of this Intention at the gymna sium today, and all said they would get "those foot balls or die." CREIGHTON IS WORKING HARD A Going la to Beat Highland Park at ' Vinton Street Crelghton Is ready for the annual foot ball battle with Hghland Park, which Is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Vinton street park. For some years this has been ihe hardest fought game on the Crelghton schedule. Crelghton has never been abla to beat this team at Des Moines, but this year expects to take the measure of the sturdy lowana in Omaha. Coach Schneider has been giving his men some strenuous work tor the last two weeks and reports show that the team Is In the top of condition for the hard games which are now coming on. This week the strong Iowa team and next week th Kansas Aggies at Manhattan. Kan The Crelghton team had a lay off last haturoay because of a cancellation In Colo rado. Crelghton has more supporters In Omaha thlt year then ever before, and the rames whl?h have been played at Vinton street parK nave been exceptionally well patron Izad. Creighton Is trying to work along nni tines ana me games are conducted according to the highest standard. The cr iwa are kept off the field and every '.,ort rode to keep' the games up to the hUn gtandard set by the big universities. The Omaha public, appreciates the change Why?

MIOlHI TIGERS LIKE LAMBS Coach Riser "ends K am her of Sqaad Bark to Colombia. CEDAR RAPIDS, la.. Oct. 28. (Speclnl.) A general shifting and roaming for "bone headedness" was In store for the crippled remnants of what once was a foot ball team when Cosch rtoper's twenty-two Mis souri Tigers reported for signal practice at league park, "Such defensive play as you showed angalnst Cos would allow Iowa to score 60 points," snapped the coach In a disgusted tone, after which he lined the whole squad on the goal line and ran them back and forth across the field several times to tesch them quick starting and Im prove their wind. With seven players crippled, four of whom are sure not to be able to pliy Sat urday, and with two more. Datherage end I,awrence, sent back to the scrubs at Columbia on account of poor condition and work, the problem of picking the eleven that will start the Iowa game Is much simplified. Only six of the eleven that last year defeated the Hawkeyes will be In the game this year, and this fact mxkes the tank- of beating Griffith's huMs who will undoubtedly outweigh Ihe Tigers over ten pounds to the man, an extremely hard one. Klein and Saunders are to divide the quarterback work Saturday and the work of both has Improved much during the past week. Hall and Alexnnder are both working out at punting, for It is llkelv that Hackney's Injurv In the Ames game will keep him out of part or all of the Iowa game. Bluck's great place klcklni ability will doubtless he of value to the team If he retains the form shown n gainst Cos yesterd-y when he placed three out of four attempts sausrly over the bar one from a dltanee of fifty yards. Wilder will likely tke Clare's place at fullhnck and Anderson will fill In at Heht tackle, both changes the result of Injuries to regu lars. Much time Is being spent In strengthen ing the defense, for the way Coe st times broke through wss not st all plealng to the coaches. Several other plavers are on probation as a result of poor work on the trip and unless Improvement Is shown In spirit, snother consignment wl'l be shinned back to Columbia, as no loafing will be tolerated. Captain Rlstine Is the only man on the squad sure of his position and previous exnerlenre counts for nothing with Roper If fight and hard work are not coupled with' It. Froo'or Thompson, a substitute end. was wired for last nlaht and will loin the,souad here tomorrow. He Is hevy and fast and his improved work on the scrubs at Col umbia merited his advancement.

Oct IS.-The match' for the heavyweight . championship of the world between Jack Johnson, the negro champion, and James J. Jeffries, the re tired title holder, will be arranged at a meeting of the principals and their man agers at I o'clock tomorrow afternoon In this city. The arrangements of the meeting were made by George Little, manager of John son and Sam Berger, who represented Jef fries, who held a conference a few hours after the arrival here of Johnson from Chicago this morning. NEW YORK. Oct. 28.-'T am glad to get back to New York. I have come all the way from San Francisco to meet Mr. Jef fries and sign articles for our battle, and I am willing to make the match under any fair conditions," said Jack Johnson, the negro heavyweight as he disembarked from the Twentieth Centruy limited from Chicago at the Orand Central station this morning. There was a big crowd on hand. Includ ing many of his negro friends, to welcome Jeffries' rival, Johnson was accompanied by his manager, Oeorge Little. The two men had some difficulty In getting through the crowd which gathered along the station platforms and crowded and cheered the champion. Johnson grinned from ear to ear as the crowd gathered around and shook him by the hand and asked him about the fight with Jeffries. "I hope to meet Jeffries at once, the sooner the better," said Johnson. "I never felt better, except the boll on my cheek bothers me some. I weigh about 206 pounds, How did I get that boll? I guess I have been living too high." Speaking of the match with Jeffries, Johnson displayed an evident desire to have the articles signed right away and the negotiations for the contest concluded. "Oeorge Little, my manager, will see Sam Berger," said Johnson, "and arrange for a meeting. Of course I shall be at the meeting, for Jeffries and I can do more In five minutes to settle this matter than all the go-betweens can do in a day. "I am ready to abide by the conditions that I entered into with Berger In Chicago, except that I shall ask for a winner's and loser's division of the purse." Jeffries was delighted when he heard that Johnson had reached the city and said ha was ready at any time to arrange terma. The ex-boller maker put In some time this morning In gymnasium work. MRS.

IOWA CITY. la, Oct. 28 (Special.) 8o often did the freshmen backs puncture the Iowa line that the coaches gave the regu lars a grueling thirty minutes' scrimmage practice with the ball continually In the possession of tlie first year men. The de fense even Jate, In the practice was only fair. The coaches threaten to continue the scrimmage' practice until the last minute unless the line holds the light freshmen backs In better style. New men have been reporting regularly to the freshmen and varsity squads since the Nebraska game. Last night Gordon,' a Junior dental student was tried at halfback and hts work made a favorable impression on the coaches. McClellsn, a star In the Intercollege game last Saturday has re ported and will probably be worked at end Kahlln and Collins are two n-w freshmen recruits. "We must have a strong line of eubstltutes." said Coach Griffith and with the assistance of Assistant Coach Ebv every effort Is being made to Induce avail able material to report at Iowa field each evening. Last night the coaches refused admittance to any newspaper men and the strictest secrecy Is being maintained to keep all reports on the new plays from even the student public. Legal to Insure Bank Deposits Iowa Attorney General Benders an Opinion in Response to Auditor's Request. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 28. (Special Tele gram.) Attorney General Byers held to day that an Insurance company to Insure bank deposits Is legal under the Iowa laws. Such a corporation. It is learned, will be started here. The opinion was given at the request of the state auditor. Formerly a corporation aought permission to Insure Individual depositors. The attor ney general held this would be against public policy, as the volume of business would depend on the suspicion of the hanks stirred up by the company. The company now proposes to Insure the banks after examinglng their books,' and the charge will be baaed on the amount of de posits. Poor risks will be refused, conse quently strong banks will not be paying the expense of Insurance for weak banks. President J. P. White of the Iowa Coal Miners today scored In three rounds, and the Baker-Archibald faction went down to defeat In the same number at today's con vention. The victories for White were on roll calls, showing he had a clear major ity, which prophesies the final outcome. The question Is whether the final adjust ment will be such that harmony will be restored. Jacob Rltter, the national or ganizer in Iowa and a member of the Ba ker faction, said today It would take a week yet to settle the matter. English militant methods will likely be adopted by the Iowa auffraglsts and the halls of the legislature stormed In 1911, as a result of the address today at the state convention by Elnore Gordon, the state president. In a ringing speech she said that the ladylike, gentle methods of the past were Ineffectual and that more vigor ous methods were needed. She said she would willingly go to Jail rather than sub mit to the humiliations she experienced last winter when she lobbied for the bill. Mrs. Coggshall, the honorary president, Dr. Nina Dewey and others of the older members adlsed against the English mill tant methods, but the younger, energetic element today seem to be In control.
