Ileal Stnr Acta In Making;
Tonrhdovvna,
Outplayed and outwitted at alraoat every
point of the game, the York High school
cloven went down to defeat at the hand!
of the Omaha High school eleven In 37 to
S. at Vinton Park Saturday. York fought
bravely to the last eons, but Omaha had
won Its game In the first half and the
visiting lads had no chrjice to retrieve
themselves In the last half, although
Wiley, the fast Tork captain, cot away for
a touchdown on a flfty-flve-yard run on
one occasion.
Although the teams averaged almost
evenly on weight, the beef on the York
team was In back of the line, while the
Omaha team had Its big men In Its line.
As a result the York team found It Impos
sible to puncture the Omaha stonewall,
while the local tackles and guards, not
only tore big holes in the York line on
offense, but In defensive work, they went
through It continually, and broke up many
a well planned play before It was started.
Victory Harried Along.
Victory, end such an easy v'.otory, came
as a great surprise to the crowd of Omaha
rooters and supporters on hand for the
game. Such a crowd as the Omaha High
school never before got out so early in the
Season was anxiously shifting Its feet when
the referee's whistle started the game,
Within six minutes the Omaha lads had
recoverd the ball from their kick-off to
,' York and Rector had put over a field goal
' for fear that delay meant possibly their
one chance of victory gone.
With on wild whoop the people on the
bleachers rose from their seats, for all
who knew foot bail could easily see In
that time that York was being steadily
outplayed. From then on to the end of the
half, Omaha scored easily, ending the, half
M o 0, and the defeat of three years ago,
when Omaha lost the state championship
was wiped out. In defeating the present
champions of Nebraska.
Captain Wiley of York received the un
stinted admiration of both friend and foe
In the game, for he was easily the star of
both teams. Understanding fae game, he
managed his team well the only crltlsolsm
of the day being his trying many forward
passes, even after Omaha had practlcaJly
scored on a oouile of them. In running
with the ball the only man, who came
near equaling him. was Klopp, the little
quarter and general of 1 e Omaha eleven,
and In defensive tackling Wiley's track
record stood him In good stead, for not
a man on the field could escape him with
out a long lead.
Home of the Other Stars.
Other stars on the York team were
Beaver, the big full back. Blood the end
and Wldeman half and Crosan tackle. All
played well, but not together. Omaha's
chief performers were the whole team,
big Andrus the tackling hitting the line
for some good gains.
First Half Onuuia kicked off and
within the first quarter had made a field
goal, and two touch downs and one goal
kicked, It to 0. In the second quarter
both teams settled down and Omaha found
it necessary to do some heavy line plung
ing to make the goals, but took two more
before the quarter half ended.
Second Half Both teams changed lineup
Omaha put In Rachman and Dow and
York put In Miller at quarter, Wiley took
half and Samuelson took place at left
quard.
After some preliminary scrimmage,
work in the center of the field, Wiley
picked up the bail and made a fifty-five
yard dash for goal, he swears he broke
tUs track record doing It Klopp made a
seventy-yard goal run, but in pausing the
edge of the field one foot had slipped
outside and tie was brought heel:. Omaha
only got one touchdown in 'ach quarter

Chicago Blanked
by Illinois in
Hard Contest
Opponents' Victory Results from Drop
Kick by Seiber in the First
Quarter.
CHAMPAIGN, 111., Oct. 15. Illinois de
feated Chicago by a score of 3 to 0 in a
sensational, bitterly fought battle on Illi
nois field. Illinois' victory was the result
of a drop kick by Otto Seller, Illinois'
quarterback, who booted the oval over
the goal posts In the first quarter. The
advantage of the game was all to the
Illinois team, except In the final quarter,
when the Maroons became dangerous.
Otherwise the Chicago team was out
played by Illinois. Illinois gained ten
times as much ground as did the visitors.
Twice Illinois, on Chicago's one-yard line,
was penalized for holding, when a touch
down was certain. Once again they were
on the Maroon five-yard line, when the
Invaders from Marshall Field held like a
stone wall.
Illnois pulled off numerous forward
panses, while the Maroons were unable to
make ground with this play,

school team played a fast game, which re
sulted In the score of 12 to 0 In favor of

YORK HIGH SCHOOL,
Marquette Team
Promises to Show
Fast Foot Ball
Men that Held Down Michigan and
Notre Dame Last Year Pitted
Against Creighton.
With the advent of Marauette university
on the local gridiron next Saturday, fol
lowers of the game in tnis city win nave
a splendid opportunity of watching a fast
eggregation In action. The' meteorlo rise
of Marquette In foot ball Circles during the
last few years has been tho subject of
much favorable comment In the world of
sports and the Outcome of this season's
schedule will be awaited with considerable
Interest
Their work on tho gridiron last yea
plaoed them among the representative col
lege teams ef the country, and by many,
Marquette is ranked aa on of tho best
elevens In the west With s. veteran team,
they held Michigan to a t to S score, and
later in the season prevented Notre Dame
front making a touchdown, By contending
so well against these larger universities,
and esaeolally by their brilliant work
against the Wolverines, Marquette rapidly
gained prominence and this year is making
a western trip with hope of adding new
laurels to Its fame.
While Marquette has lost the ajervioee of
Foley and Manning the team Is practically
the same as last year. Meyer, who was
reokoned aa one of the best punters In the
country, Is also out of the game this sea
son, but Buegel, a new halfback, is filling
the place of the missing star In a creaitaDie
manner. Schaller Is back at quarter ana
Munsell, Sdhroeder and Voelkmann make a
back field combination that gains on every
play. Elsen will be seen at tackle again,
and Captain Hanley Is his running mate
on the other side of the line. The northern
team Is heavy and fast During the sum
mer months the squad has been in training
at Lake Beulah, Wis., and the men are re
ported to be In perfect physical condition.
Perhaps no team In the entire country
presents to . the public for criticism and
careful sorutiny, such an excellent body
of athletes. It has always been Mar
quette's aim to select men of powerful
physique to defend their colors against
contending teams. No expense has been
saved to provide adequate training facili
ties in every branch 6f sports in which
they have participated, and the results ef
developing new material have been gratl-
fvinr. Bill Juneau, the famous eld Wis
consin end, has been the mentor en the
gridiron for the last three ef four seasons,
and has produced excellent results In the
field. He requires the strictest attention
to constant training. It was due to his
efforts that the summer football work was
started. Special training quarters were
established en the lake shore In
Wisconsin, and every comfort of heme
life was enjoyed by the Knights of the
Pigskin. Juneau has always exercised the
utmost diligence In caring for the men
under his charge, and has had ample op
portunity of discovering new material on
the squad. He Is a firm believer In speed,
and no deubt the game Saturday will be
reniete with sweeping end runs. While
line plunging helped the visiters against
Yost's men, yet the majority of gains were
roads by skirting Michigan's line. No
doubt many of the plays used last season
will be worked against Creighton, and
Miller's "Colts" will have to keep close
watch on the shifty formations used by
the Milwaukee eleven. The ferward ess,
onslde kleV. and off tackle plunge were
used to excellent advantage against the
Monmouth team last week In the annual
game with the Brewer.
For a rim It looked as though the local
university would be unable to schedule
a gsme with Marquette as Denver seemed
unwilling to stand by Its centract to play.
By a diplomatic letter, however, negotia
tions were finally closed, and the game
was olsyed yesterday. From Denver the
team gees to St Mary's Kan., where
they play the university there, and will
then ome to Omaha fer their first annual
battle with Creighton.

AT RIGHT PLACE WHEN NEEDED
Durlnir One Stone of tho Piny for

Score.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 15. (Special
Telegram.) Speed and strength concen
trated In one of the best backfleld quarteU
ever played on a western gridiron enabled
the mighty -Minnesota foot bail team to pul
the Nebraska eleven to rout on Northrof
field this alternoon In the finest exhibition
of the new game seen In Minneapolis thl(
fU. The score was 27 to 0.
The Giiphcrs began a whirlwind attack
In tho opening minutes of the struggl and
claimed victory before the playing wag
four minutes old, by rushing a eerie of
plays down the field and sending the won
derful McGovcrn over the Cornhusker tin
for a touchdown before the small band of
Nebraska rooters could realize that the
gamo was undor way.
Those who watched the work of the Mln- .
nesota backs At once seemed certain that
the proteges of Coach William would roll
up a score of huge proportions. Then, aa
If to verify tills present mert the Minnesota.
men came right back In the next few
minutes of play and scored another touch
down.
Before the final of the first quarter the
score had been Increased to sixteen point
through a well-executed series of end run
and split plays that enabled the backs to
pierce the Cornhusker line for ctnalstent
and lengthy gain.
Come Right Back.
Though hopelessly beaten In the first
quarter of the game the Cornhusker play
ers did not give tip, but cam back at their
opponents with a display of grit and stub
born defense.
In the seoond quarter the play called forth
comment from the large crowd of specta
tors that had made their way to the field,
expecting to see the Minnesota team held
to A low score. The secondary defense of
the Nebraska team bold up wonderfully la
this quarter and would have held the local
team scoreless, but for the fumbling of th
ball on th Nebraska twenty-five-yard Un
by Warner.
A long time In the game It looked a
though the Cornhusker might score for
they were racing down the field with th
ball and were within thirty yard of tn
Minnesota goal. At this Junctors, how
ever, a kick was blocked and A husky
Gopher picked up the oval, shooting bait
way across a clear field for & touchdown.
All credit for the victory of the Gophers
must go to the backfleld, for the men
playing there were wonderful in their at
tacks and any one of the four was able
to gain ground against th Nebraska,
Tho Same McGovern.
Johnnie McGovern, the man who was
terror in th gam at Omaha last fall, waa
tho scintillating head of contost Hi and
runs and darts through tho line were th
best that he ever essayed. To those who
saw him perform In the game at Omaha It
seemed that he could do no better work,
but today he surpassed anything that h4
accomplished a year ago.
Only for a few minute In tho third
quarter wa the Nebraska defense able to
hold this wriggling play In tow. At ail
other stages of the gam he took th bail,
and either fleeing around th wing of
dodging through the line, he ripped off
yard after yard towoj-d the Nebra-dta'g
goal. He was tackled by the alert Com
huskers, but like a slippery eel he twisted
and qulrriied and got loose.
llosenwaid, Stevens and Captain John
ston also did some great playing against
the Cornhusker. Rosenwald, next to Mo
Govern, played the best bail for th
Gophers. His gains on end run and drlllf
through the line were substantial.
The Gopher Un played a better gam
than had been expected and at time wag
the equal of the Nebraska forwards. In
the first half, the work of th Minnesota,
line kept the Cornhusker from making
their downs. Despite the heroio effort ot
the Cornhusker line, the local forward
would create hole and dive through In tlrac
to break up Interference and stop play
In their Infancy.
Nebraska Offense Weak.
At practically ail times the Cornhusker
offense was weak and no advance could be
made against the wall that Williams ha4
formed. No gains were made at the Min
nesota wings, while on the line play Ui
yards won wsr very few.
The contest today was a hard one fo
the Comhuskers to lose as they had sx
pected to get away with a low score. Th(
fight they made was a stubborn on, but
they were up against a better team and
had to succumb to defeat
Nebraska thought Minnesota had A strong
team last fall, but this, year's Oophef
eleven Is 40 per cent betbfr than th on
that held Nebraska 14 to 0 at Omaha.
Only one serious Injury occurred to mai
th game. Elliott, left guard for th Corn
husker, waa thrown In hard play during
the cloxlng minutes of the first half and
sustained a broken collarbone that prob
ably will cause him to be out of the gam
for the remainder of the season.
For the Comhuskers, Collins, Temple and
O. Frank were th men who threw joy Int
the Cornhusker rooters at times. They
played dogged ball on th offense and
stopped many Minnesota players. Every
little while Collins could be seen bucking
through the defense and pulling down a
runner. O . Frank killed several attempted
end runs. Temple held up his side of th
line and broke down offensive Gopher play
frequently.
Two Expensive Fiubltt,
In the exchange of punt th Cornhusker
lost many yards. McGovern and Pickering
kicked better than Frank many times and
