Outplayed and outwitted at alraot every
point of the game, the York High school
cloven went down to defeat at the hands
of the Omaha High school eleven In 37 to
(. at Vinton Park Saturday. Tork f ought
bravely to the last gong, 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, got 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 Tork
team was In back of the line, while the
Omaha team had Its big men In Its line.
As a result the Tork team found It Impos
sible to puncture the Omaha stonewall,
while the local tackles and guards, not
only tore big holes In the Tork 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 Alone:.
Victory, and such an easy victory, 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 fame,
Within six minutes the Omaha lads had
recoverd the ball from their kick-off to
. Tork and Rector had put over a field goal
for fear that delay meant possibly their
one chance of victory gone.
With ono wild whoop the people on the
bleachers rose from their seats, for all
who knew foot ball could easily see In
that time that Tork 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
waa wiped out, in defeating the present
champions of Nebraska.
Captain Wiley of Tork received the un-
tinted admiration of both friend and foe
In the game, for he was easily the star of
both teams. Understanding be game, he
managed his team well the only crltlsclsm
of the day being his trying many forward
passes, even after Omaha had practically
scored on a couple of them. In running
with the ball the only man. who came
near equaling him. was Klopp. the little
quarter and general of 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.
(tome of the Other Stars.
Other stars on the Tork team were
Beaver, the big full back. Blood the end
and Wldeman halt and Crosan tackle. All

chief performers were the whole team.

for some good gains.
First Halt Omaha kicked off and
within the first quarter had made a field
goal, and two touch downs and one goal
kicked, 14 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
Tork put In Miller at quarter, Wiley took
half and Bamuelson took place at left
quard.
After some preliminary scrimmage,

picked up the ball and made a flfty-flve-
yard dash for goal, he swears he broke

seventy -yard goal run, but In passing the
edge of the field one foot had slipped
outside and tie was brought back. Omaha

Opponents' Victory Besults 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 waa 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.
Illnols pulled off numerous forward
passes, while "the Maroons were unable to
make ground with this play,

Local Team Beats Valley Team 19 to
O In Preliminary.
Preceding the big Omaha-Tork game the
team from Valley and the seoond High
school team played a fast game, which re
sulted in the score of 12 to 0 In favor of
Omaha. This was the first time that the
second Omaha team played and It showed
up well. Selby, the captain, who plays
quarter, was the star player of the game.
He made several long runs for the Valley
goal. The Valley players were fast, but
they had no strong Interference, as had
the Omaha lads. Leonard Lavldge, right
guard for Omaha, got through the Valleys'
line for a touchdown a few minutes after
the game started and Bel by kicked goal.
which resulted In a score of S to 0 for
Omaha.
Strlckler, in the second quarter of the
game, broke through the line and made
a seventy-five yard run, which resulted
I nthe score of H to 0 for Omaha. Condron,
fullback for Valley, was Injured in the
third quarter and was unable to play the
remainder of the game, nl the last quarter
of the game many fumbles by both sides
were noticeable. Selby was always under
Valley's punts and his running would have
done credit to a first team player.

TORK HIGH SCHOOL, FOOT BALL. TEAM.
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 Marquette university
on the local gridiron next Saturday, fol
lowers of the game In this city will have
a splendid Opportunity of watching a fast
aggregation in aotlon. The tneteorio rise
of Marquette In foot ball circles during the
last few years has been tho subject of
much favorable oemment in the world of
sport and the outcome of this season's
schedule will be awaited with considerable
Interest.
Their wrerk en the rridiren last year
plaoed them sunong the representative col
lege teams ef the country, and by many,
Marquette Is ranked aa on 6f th best
elevens In the west. With fc veteran team,
they held Michigan to a S to I score, and
later in the season prevented Notre Dame
freia making a touchdown, By contending
so well against these larger universities,
and esseolally by their brilliant werk
against the Wolverines, Marquette rapidly
gained prominence and this year Is making
a western trip with hope ef adding new
lau.els to Its fame.
While Marquette has lost the services of
Foley and Manning the team Is practically
the same ss last year. Myer. who was
reokoned as one of tho 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 creaiiaDie
manner. Schaller Is back at quarter and
MunselU Sflhroeder and Voelkmann make a
back field combination that gains on every
play. Elsen will be seen at taokle again,
and Captain Hanley is his running mate
on the other sldo of the line. The northern
team is heavy and fast- During the sum
mer mnntha the sauad has been in training
at Lake Beuiah, Wis., and the men are re
ported to be in perfect physical conaiuon.
Perhaps no team in the entire country
presents to , the public for criticism and
careful scrutiny, such an excellent body
of athletes. It has always been Mar-
quette's aim to select men of powerful
physique to defend their colors againsi
contending teams. No expense has been
saved to provide adequate training faelll
ties in every branch Of sports in which
they have participated, and the results ef
developing new material have been grati
fying. Bill Juneau, the famous eld Wis
consin end, has been the mentor en the
gridiron for the last thres ef four seasons,
and has produced excellent results in the
field. He requires ths 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
th squad. He li firm believer In speed,
sr.3 te dsubt the me Saturday will be
l replete with sweeplr.x end runs. While
line plunging helped the visiters against
Yost's men, yet the majority of gains were
made by sfc'rttng Michigan's line. No
doubt nrnir' ? :he plays used last seasen
will be wet-ked again Creighton. and
Miller's "CcUt" will have to keep close
watcn en tne enncjr ivniiiaun
5 the Milwaukee eleven. The forward eass,
cnslde kleV, and ort tackle plunge were
used to excellent Advantage against the
Morirr.UT"! tw.'. Isst week In the annual
gamo wfth the Bremer.
For a time it looked aa though the local
university would be unable to schedule
a gams with Marquette as Denver seemsd
unwilling to stand by Its contract te play.
By a dlplematlc letter, however, negotia
tions were finally clesed, and the game
was slgyed yesterday. From Denver the
team gees to St, Mary's Kan., where
they play the university there, end will
then ome to Omaha for their first annual
battle with Creighton.

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Oct. 15. (Special
Telegram.) Speed and strength concen
trated lu ono of the best backfleld quartett
ever played on a western gridiron enabled
the inlp.hly Minnesota foot ball team to put
the Nebraska eleven to rout on Northrof
field this afternoon In the finest exhibition
of the new same seen In Minneapolis thlt
fall. The score was 27 to a
The Clophcrs began a whirlwind attack
in tha opening minutes of the struggle and
claimed victory before the playing wag
four ml mi tos old, by rushing a series of
plays down tho field and sending tha won
derful McOovern over the Cornhusker line
for a touchdown before the small band of
Nebraska rooters could realise that the
gamo was under way.
Those who watched the work of the Mln- .
nesota backs at once seemed certain that
the proteges of Coach Williams would roll
up a score of huge proportions. Then, as
if to verify this presentment 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 points
through a well-executed series of end runs
and split plays that enabled the backs to
pierce the Cornhusker line for clnslstent
and lengthy gains.
Come Right Back.
Though hopelessly beaten In th first
quarter of the game the Cornhusker play
ers dlr. not give bp, but came back at their
opponents with a display of grit and stub
bora 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 scoro. The secondary defense of
the Nebraska team held up wonderfXilIy la
this quarter and would have held the local
team scoreless, but for the fumbling of tha
ball on th Nebraska twenty-ftve-yard line
by Warner.
A long time in the game it looked aa
though the Cornhuskers might score for
they were racing down the field with tha
ball and were within thirty yards of tha
Minnesota goal. At this juncture, how
ever, a kick was blocked and a husky
Gopher picked up the oval, shooting bait
way across a clear field for a 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 the Nebraskans.
The Same McGovera.
Johnnie McUovern, the man who waa a
terror in the gam at Omaha last fall, was
the scintillating head of contest His end
runs and darts through tho line were the
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 h
accomplished a year ago.
Only for a few minutes In tho third
quarter was tha Nebraska defense able to
hold this wriggling play in tow. At all
other stages of the game he took the ball,
and either fleeing around the wings of
dodging through the line, ho ripped off
yara after yard toward the Nebraska's
goal. He was tackled by the alert Corn
huskers, but like a slippery eel ha twisted
and squirmed and got loose.
IlosenwaJd, Stevens and Captain John
ston also did some great playing against
the Cornhuskers. Rosenwald, next to Mo
Govern, played the best ball for tha
Gophers. His gains on end runs and drlllf
through the line wer substantial.
The Gopher line played a better gam
than had been expected and at times was)
the equal of the Nebraska forwards. Ia
the first halt, the woik of th Minnesota,
line kept the Cornhuskers from making
their downs. Despite the herolo efforts ot
the Cornhusker line, the local forwards
would create holes and dive through In time
to break up Interference and slop play
In their Infancy.
Nebraska Offense Weak,
At practically all times the Cornhusker
offense was weak and no advance could b
made against the wall that Williams ha
formed. No gains were made at the Min
nesota wings, while on the line play th
yarda son were very few.
The contest today was a hard one fot
the Cornhuskers to lose as they had ea
pected to get away with a low score. The
fight they made was a stubborn one, 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 k year's Gopher
eleven Is 40 per cent bettr than the on
that held Nebraska 14 to 0 at Omaha.
Only oiie serious Injury occurred to mat
the game. Elliott, left guard for the Corn
huskers, was thrown In hard play during
the closing minutes of the first half and
sustained a broken oollarbone that prob
ably will cause him to be out of th gam
for the remainder ot the season.
Fer the Cornhuskers, Collins, Tempi and
O. Frank wer the men who threw joy Into
the Cornhusker rooters at times. They
played dogged ball on th offense tad
stopped many Minnesota players. Every
llttle while Collins could be seen bucking
through the defense and pulling down a
runner. O . Frank killed several attempted
nd runs. Tempi held up his side of th
Una and broke down offensive Gopher play
frequently.
