Drkn,
8CRANTON, Pa.. Dec. 1 "A little bet
ter than an even chance of recovery," Is
an authoritative statement made tonight
of the condition of Hugh Jennings, mana.
rer ot the Detroit base ball team and the
Rev. Peter F. Lynett, who were Injured
In an automobile accident near Goulds
boro. Pa., last night
Jennings Is suffering from concussion
of the brain, a fractured left arm and
many gashes and bruises about the bead
and body. Father Lynett sustained serious
Internal Injuries, three fractured ribs,
fractures of the right leg and arm 'and
deep gash under the chin In addition
-to many cuts and bruises.
It "'will require another day. Dr. D. A.
Webb said today to determine definitely
.just how serious Is the condition of the
two men. Father Lynett, like Jennings, Is
an athlete and their rugged constitutions
will weigh heavily In their favor, the
doctor said.
The Immediate cause of the accident Is
not known yet, but Is supposed It was due
to a break In the steering gear.
Mr. and Mrs. David Holden of Mata
moras. Pa., who were also In the car,
were slightly Injured. The Holdens but
a few hours before had been married by
Father Lynett.
Jennings wna on a hunting trip In th
Pocono mountains some days ago and
I Ms automobile became disabled. He left
"l It at Gouldsboro to be repaired and re
turned there yesterday with Father
Lynett to bring the machine here. Father
Lynett married the Holdens and Jen
nings Invited them to start their honey
moon with an automobile trip to Scran
ton. Auto Rana Off Brlaare.
It was about 11:30 o'clock when the
party approached a small bridge over the
" Xhlgh river about threo miles from
Couldsboro. There was a light on the
bridge and the automobile started across
the structure at only slightly reduced
peed. Just as the--machine got on the
bridge, something went wrong and the
automobile swerved, crashed Into tie rail
of the structure and fell ten feet Id to the
river.
Jennings and Father Lyrett were
caught under the machine. People In the
neighborhood heard the crash and sum
moning help, managed to haul the
wrecked automobile from the Injured men.
Jennings, Father Lynett and the Hol
dens were removed to a furm house and
local physicians gave them prompt at
tention. All efforts to arouse Jennings
proved futile until today.
The first to reach the party from Scran
t ton waa Dr. W. A. Webb and Rev. J. W.
Malone of fit. Peter's 'cathedral. Dr.
Webb . after a careful examination said
Jennings had no broken bones, but he
may be Internally Injured. He Is la a
emi-couscloua condition.
Mrs. Jennings was notified of the ac
cident soon after It happened and left
here with W. A. Jennings, a brother of
the Injured man. Later Jennlngu and the
priest were brought to a Scranton hos
pital. The automobile was the one Detroit
base ball enthusiasts presented to Man
ager Jennings.

Chicago team for its expenses and the
cost of officials, advert. Bins and minor
Items brought the toial sum up to S02S.
The department was ahead y J 200 behind
on account of poor attendance at the
sames earlier In the season so that the

This Mlkaourl valley eleven was se
lected by Clyde IS. Elliott for The Omaha
Bee and tne Chicago Tribune.
Coaches In the Missouri valley made
tho most of the material at their hands
during the season Just eiosed, but found
they could not perfert plays which could
be used with any great degree of assur
ance In negotiating the last twenty-five
yarns for touchaown. Nebraska, Ames
and urake, tne leading elevens of this
eonlercnce, were hauled time and again
In several ot their game by the ten-
aiu-ui-inree-aowns ruie wnea within
twenty and twenty-five yards of the last
white mark.
At Aeuraaka, where Coach Ewalrl
tttlehm, a former University of Wisconsin
piayer produced the bignest type ot foot
ball, butn oltensive and defensive, that
was seen in the vtliey, the forward pass
was the weapon cnosen for mailing the
last few yards. Tnis play resulted la
scores for the Cornhuakers at Ainee and
Kansas, where two ot the entet oppo
nents ot the Lincoln team ware played.
But ro uncertain of success waa this
lor ward flip tnat the Cornnuakers were
otnled touendowns at Ames and MichU
an touonoowna that would have meant
Victory Deause the play waa not com
pleted. At Ames a paaa waa intercepted,
in tne Wolverine battle the Aeoraska
receiving and -coul-not ' reaan tne bail,
wnicn wai hurled too high for a- euc
ceaaful gain.

The Amea Aagiea, an eleven that la
entitled to high rating In tne valley' be

its victory over all too otner Iowa,
schoois, tried to maae the llnal yards by

Coach htiehm had the - most powerful
gridiron machine at Nebraska that has
graced a conterence gridiron In several
years. Its like has not been seen In Lin
coln since the days of the famous
"Bummy" Booth. Ihe suocees whlcn this
team had in the Michigan game, - when
the VV oivennaa were outplayed In nearly
every department, proved tne power ot
the Cornhuaker attack. The delense ot
the , Cornhuakers was a' tearing one that
did 'not wait to be charged, but which
pushed into the opposing line and ripped
up offensive plays. Th attack wax
flashing and powerful. Th team play
was effective because there waa a won
derful improvement in Interference by in
dividuals. The backs played a wonderful
running game and were aided by for
wards, who made yawning gape. The at
tack formed quickly, and was strong, fait
and versatile. The interference was tho
best on any . Nebraska eleven In many
years and was not approached by any
other Missouri valley team with the ex
ception of Ames.
Nebraska's remarkable team Is given
seven places on the All-Missouri . vailcy
eleven. These awards will not be ques
tioned by anyone who has watched the -play
of the Cornhuakers., ,
