With but two minutes yet to play Hro
' nek. who had entered the contest but a
ahort time before, pushed hi way through
the entire teora of miners from Rapid City,
& D., and won the contest Saturday for
the blue and white by a score of 6 to 0.
Ilia run was one of the prettiest ever seen
' on a local ground, as he virtually had half
of the Dakota team to contend with and
carried the ball for seventeen yards to
victory. By winning the game yesterday
Crelghton avenged the defeat of last year,
when the local team was beaten at Kapld
City.
The game waa replete with, forward
posses and unting from start to finish.
Line plunging and tackle plays were used
on both aides to excellent advantage and
It waa due to an off-tackle play that the
sturdy little halfback placed the pigskin
across the goal Una.
Bouth Dakota won the toss ar.d selected
to kick tha ball. Crelghton getting the
north end of the field. Dickey kicked off
to Marganthaler, who returned the ball
fifteen yards. Young, on an off-tackle
plunge, gained twenty and Crelghton
fumbled the ball on the next play. Kyle
recovered the fumble and kicked to Bouth
Dakota. Borse circled the blue and white
Una for ten yards, followed by a gain of
three mora by Llnhart.
Tha ploye aoe-sawed up and down the
; field for tha remainder of the quarter, Lee
and Young making heavy gains through
Dakota's Una. '
The second quarter of the game was
characterized by considerable punting on
both sldea Kyle had the doughty Dickey
i outpunted esterday, as the fast little end
did not kick as well as on former occa-alor-B.
In tha opening of the third quarter
Lee booted the ball to Dickey, who re
turned ten yards Unable to gain, the
visitors punted and Kyle went around end
for fifteen. Crelghton lost the ball by
funbllng. Magulra stopped the next play
' by a brilliant tackle and was obliged to
leave the game from Injurloe. Haller re
placed Magulre and Rell'ey went In at
left end. Young broke away for twenty
yards. A beautiful forward pass from Kyle
to Hoye netted fifteen yards more and was
followed by a pass from iioya to Haller.
Crelghton lost an excellent opportunity at
this stake of the game to scora by a
missed place kick.
iulIer Goea la.
Qulgley replaced Philbln In tha last
quarter and drove tha team up tha field
. by rapid end runs. Morganthaler broke
away for twenty-five yard, but Dakota
told for downs. A missed place kick
again placed the ball In the visitors'
possession. Griffin gained thirty and
Holley went through for ten yeards on
line plunging. Crelghton recovered the
. ball on a long drive by Dickey and sent
formation. At this point Qulgley called
Kronck through tackle and the game little
, warrior tore-up tha field trusting aside
. tackle after tackle, for the totliudown.
Uorganthaier missed1 goal and tha game
closed with tha ball In Crelghton terri

Fort the first time since the Universities

each other at foot ball Indiana today de
feated Coach Stagg's Athletics, 6 to 0.
The first half was replete with penalties,
which robbed the contest of most of Its
spectacular Interest. In the second period
the men played closer to the rules. The
Chicago backs were able to go through the
opposing line for good gains, but never
with sufficient consistency to gain a touch
town. A line plunge and two forward passes
sent Gill across the line for the only toucti
down of the game. Indiana In the second

j The Omaha High school foot ball team
' defeated the Harlan High school In foot
..ball Saturday at Vinton street park by
.rjtl.e score of GO to 0. It was an easy game
ffor Omaha from tne start, as scoring
started a few minutes after tha game be
gan.
I The Harlan team, although outweighed
by Omaha by about ten. pounds on the
average, put up a plucky game and did well
for their crippled condition. Miller, the
captain of the team, was unable to play,
as ha was out of the game with a broken
collarbone. Another star player for Har
lan waa elck with typhoid fever, and thus
they were forced to use new and Inex
perienced men, who played hard, but were
not a match for Omaha, who had been so
successfully coached by Coach Burnett.
Omaha defended the north goal and An
drus received the ball, but lost it on a
fumble. Harlan punted the ball and Oall
received It and returned the pigskin about
thirty yards. Howes ran through the Har
lan line to about five yards from the goal,
when Underbill pushed through for a
touchdown. Omaha failed to kick goal.
Score, 6 to 0.
Harlan again kicked off and Omaha
made several gain by Un Th, but
lost the ball on a for wart pass. Harlan
was unable to gain ground and punted.
Klopp received the ball and gained twenty
five yards, when downed by Harlan's end.
Klopp circled the end and reached goal.
Captain Payna kicked goal, which made
the score 11 to 0.
Klopp Makes Big- Gains.
Omaha kicked to Harlan and Kerr re
ceived the ball, but was soon tackled by
Payne and lost the ball on a fumble.
Klopp made another gain for Omaha, but
was unable to reach goal, as the first Quar
ter was over.
In the second quarter Harlan kicked off
and Howea recovered tha ball after a fum
ble and gained twenty yards. Rector soon
carried the ball near goal and Underhlll
went over. Payne kicked goal, making the
score 17 to Harlan's 0. Omaha then kicked
the ball to Harlan, who lost It on a f Am
ble, and Andrus recovered the ball. Row
man made a sensational run around tha
right end and carried the ball over thirty
five yards. Payno made the goal through
an open field and then failed to kick goal.
Omaha, 22; Harlan, 0, at the end of the
first half.
The second half of the game waa short
ened on account of the base ball game,
but there was time enough for Omaha to
run up a large score. Omaha made several
forward passes at the beginning of the
fecond half, and gained consistently, but
when Harlan would attempt a' forward
pans, Omaha would block It and Harlan
would again resort to a punt. Harlan's line
T.as weak compared to Omaha's and seemed
unable to gain on the end runs. Howes
received the ball from Harlan and ran
thirty yards to goal with an open field.
Payne kicked goal, making the score 2S to 0.
Klopp, played a stur game at quarter,
and succeeded In dodfiln;; past Harlan's
tackles and galnlnir about twenty-five or
thirty yards at a time. Klopp and Payna
worked tha forwaid pas to advantage,
and showed their knowledge of the game
by their careful judgment of the forward

Hull Started at University. '
LINCOI.N. Neb., Oct. 9.-(Special.)-That
the Cornhuker foot ball tram will have
the hardest season In its history Is tha
final analysis of the new game of foot
ball by Coach King" Colo.
Not only dues he believe that the season
will mean the most arduous training tha
Corlihuskeis have been compelled to un
dergo, but Cole does not expect the squad
to round Into f oi m until late, possibly
after the Minnesota game. The varied
game on the offense Is responsible for tha
change, according to Cole.
While the position of center has alwaya
been one of primary Importance on a team,
Cole believes that It Is more so than ever
this season. He has devoted the entire
week to instructing Collins in the new
game, but thus far the big center has
failed to respond, and this Is an explana
tion for the lack of progress by tha squad.
Already the varsity has two Bhlfts In tha
backfleld for developing an offense,' and
Colo expects to employ soveral more shifts
before tho season Is far along. Where tha
ball Is punned to the quarter before it
reaches the runner the work of the center
is not so difficult. But under tha new
rules the quarter receives tha ball In leas
than a third of the plays used by Ne
braska and the pass must ba direct to tha
runner. The slightest hitch, tha slightest
delay on the part of the center expoaea
the play to the opposing team and it be
comes useless. It is decided that Collins
shall hold the position.
Cole ot Worried.
Cole Is not despondent over the work of
the week, but believes that ha has a
herculean task before him. Ha laughs at
the Idea ao commonly advanced that tha
ntw rules have abolished tha importance
of tha quarterback position. Ha aooaU at
tha Idea of tha taking of some of tha
duties oft of the quarterback and placing
them on the center. He believes that tha
quarterback muft be as versatile as ever,
if not more so, while tha center has been
given a greater Importance by tha now
rules. ,
Tha Nebraska mentor has reason to feel
well satisfied with the outlook in tha
backfleld. Cole said Thursday that ha had
tha five fast player on the team for tha
first time since he came to Nebraska.
In the minds of close followers of tha
game the star of the team is "Jerry"
Warner and his retention at quarter would
seem assured. Minor was able to remove
the two conditions which have kept him
out of practice for ten day and returned
Thursday. Ha Is still being tried at quar
ter and It is possible that Cola plana an
other change In tha backfleld, although
Warner Is ao popular at quarter that a
ahlft to Minor would bring down criti
cisms on tha head of the coach.
Even Cola la ao unWM! -makeup
of hla backfleld that he refuses to
talk. Ho wants to consider tha work In
the Bouth Dakota game before arriving
at any definite conclusion.
Team Practices Sprint.
Tha last week has resulted In anothei
change of tactics by Uie coacn. At tha
conclusion of practice he has been lining;
tha varBlty and the substitutes along a
mark and has given them short sprints.
Cole used this method last year to develop
g;eed with good results and ha has in
augurated It In the practice again.
Minor outsprinted the bunch both even
ings after a long scrimmage with Frank
and Warner close up. Now that Rathbone
has displaced Gibson at fullback, Cole la
looking for a kicker. Oibson was apparently
the best kicker In years, but ha waa
weak on the other departments of tha
game. Hornherger had been booting the
ball nearly as far aa Gibson, but he was
retained in the line. Owen Frank jand
Rnthbrine both display some ability in
punting and it will rest upon these three
men to do the kicking for the Cornhusk
ers. Frank will be used for the "short" punt
and has shown considerable aptitude In tho
use of th i play. Another department of
the game wherein the Cornhuskers are
weak Is In goal kicking. There is not am
experienced goal kicker on the team.
Frank, who was used last year, has failed
to develop accuracy and Cole has nearly
given up hopes of developing him into a
first-class kicker.
"gtoneivall" Selected.
The Nebraska forwards, constituting tha
famed "stonewall," have already been se
lected for the iftmn. Cole has not changed
the line during the entire practice since
tha Peru game. Chauner and Lofgren ara
easily the choice for the end position.
Lofgren is light and fabt and aggressive
and Is a good defensive player. During
the two weeks of piactice both Chauner
and Lofgrt-n have shown a fatal weakness
which must be remedied before Nebraska
meets Minnesota and the speedy Mcilov
ern. The Cornhuskers lost two games last
season throjgli the Inability of Chauner
ai d Johnson to tackle the man who was
leturnlng the punt. Perhaps the state
ment should be qinillfie.l with- respect to
the Minnesota game.' but the Oophers
