ROURKES CROWD LINCOLN NOW
, Will TMar Donble-Header with
Antelopes Today and Victory
Woo lil Itrlna; Them In
Konrta Flac.
By bunching their hits In the second
and third Innings yesterday afternoon tho
Rourkes m.maned to cop the third and
' la.vt game of the series from th Kaws,
despite the fact that the boys from Kin
ran made almost twice as many hits aa
Pa'3 athletes. The name ended with To
peka at the short end of a 4 to 3 score.
Had not the Rourkes taken advantage
,of Clarke, the Kaw heaver. In the first
three Innings, a different tale might have
been the result, as the bis blond hurler
from Topeka had everything his own way
afte the third Inning and gave but one
hit during the remainder of the battle.
At that but. thirty-two of the home bunch
managed to face Clarke. By winning
yesterday's game the Rourkes are still
tied with Sioux City for fifth place and
but half a game behind Lincoln for a
place In the first division. v
Game Fall of Life.
The game was filled with brilliant plays
of all kinds. Both teams fought hard for
the deciding game of the series, but the
Rourkea got the Jump. Topeka put up
one of the beat exhibitions of an uphill
fight that haa been sen on the local
diamond this year. The Kaws fought all
the way to the end, but although the
bases weer filled at three different times
..of the game, Joe Lots, the Rourke's kid
pitcher, always managed to pull out Just
' In time. In the ninth the Kaws made a
brave attempt to tie the score, hut only
. one run was pushed across and three
men died on bases when Manager Rlokert
went In as a pinch bitter to save the day,
but whiffed the wind for three straight.
Lota Lack? Boy.
The god of luck seemed, to be perched
on the shoulder of Lots. Thirteen hits
i were garnered off his delivery, but things
. broke Just at the right Urn ' for him.
However, the fielders must be given o red It
' for their support of Lots. Coyle, espe
' dally, played a star game In left field.
; Twice when hits would have meant runs
the young state leaguer saved the game
by spearing what looked .to be sure hits.
It was his two-base hit In the second
' inning that paved the way for two runs.
Ha Kk four chances I nthe outfield
without a boot, none of which weer easy
chances.
Doable-Header Today.
Today the Rourkea will play a double
. header with the Antelopes from Lincoln.
The game will be called at 2 o'clock. In
stead of 2:30, aa has been the custom
' with double-headers this season. The two
' games today mean much to both teams.
' Should the Rourkes win both games thay
' go into fourth place, while If they lose
they go down Into sixth place. The An
telopes by winning today's game will get
a tighter hold on fourth place and put
them lit the running for third place. But
If they lose they go down Into fifth or
- sixth place. Score-.

ABBIE BUNTT.
aF.
FOR 1911.
LACKS BACKFIELD MATERIAL
Nebraska Squad Without Stronsr
Quarter and Heavy Fullback.
STUDENTS LIKE JUMBO STIEHM
New Coach of Cornhnskera Making
Good, So Far as Sentiment of
Vndergradaate Body Is
Concerned Now.
LINCOLN, Neb., Bept. 23.-(Speclal.)-The
first week of practice of the Corn
husker squad has shown that Coach
Stlehm has a much bigger task on his
hands than was first generally supposed
with the return of eight veterans and
an abundance of freshmen material from
last season to draw from. If the Corn
husker mentor succeeds in filling out
his backfleld He has prospects of the
most brilliant team the Cornhuskera
have had since the days of Dummy
Booth.
That backfleld situation Is a critical one
at Nebraska, and Stlehm is not disposed
to make light of it although the new
coach believes that he has excellent
chances after a week's Inspection of the
material. The quarterback and fullback
positions will be the big stumbling blocks
In the path of Stiehm's success. In each
Instance the Nebraska coach finds him
self without an experienced man and an
apparent lack of material with which
to develop a good field general and a
good line bucker. His other two back-
field positions are entirely satisfactory,
with the sensational Owen Frank at his
old position, faster and heavier than
ever before and with the most promising
freshman In years to take the other.
Purdy, the Beatrice boy, who did wonder
ful work last season, will undoubtedly
be Frank's running mate unless Stlehm
atteit to swlth Purdy to the full
back position because of his weight.
Purdy weighs close to 186 pounds and,
while not aa brilliant at fullback aa In
the halfback position, plays a steady
polished game there.
Stlehm has only two men trying" for
the fullback position and neither of
them la qualified to take the fullback
position. Russell, a member of the track
team, haa been given preference with
Anderson as a second choice.
Anderson offers more hope, for he Is
big and fast, but terribly awkward. He
possesses a fair knowledge of the game
and is fast In getting away.
The Case of Gibson.
"Jlmmle" Gibson, for three years a
member of the squad, Including a season
with the freshmen, was the hope of
Stlehm to fill In the fullback' position
He Is heavier and faster than either
of the other men and can send the "hall
sixty yards down the field in using the
forward pass. He Is aa good a punter
as Nebraska ever saw, averaging sixty
yards In his punts. But it Is doubtful
If Gibson will bscome a regular. He Is
not aggressive, and lacking aggressive
ness Is sadly handicapped.
The third of the new candidates, Leslie
Weaver, who halls from Norfolk, under
went an operation last spring and In
praetlee Friday morning Injured the old
wound slightly so that It Is doubtful If
he will play again this season. The In
Jury was. not serious, but rathen than
take any chances of Injuring Weaver,
his physician will probably Instruct htm
to stay out of the game at least an
other season. '
For quarterback. Potter seems to be
the most probable choice of the coach,
although Ernie Frank Is being worked
out regularly and there la no telling
what shifts Stlehm will make In order
to Insure a good field general. One other
position Is worrying Stlehm through the
failure of big Pleraon to return. Pier
son haa told the management that he
will be in school, but up until Saturday
has failed to register. He was oounted
upon to fill the, other tackle position va
cated by Cspt Temple and his non
return Is a source of considerable anx
iety to Eager.
The Probable Llaeaa.
Stlehm is maintaining a sphinx-like al
ienor as to his lineup for the second
week of practice, but it la probable
that he will use shifts In every position
except the ends and the tackle position
of Cspt. Shonka.
The lineup for the week of praetlee
on the first team will probably be aa
follows:
Ends, Chauner and Lofgren; tackles.
