BILUKIN STRONG DEFENSE First and Secondary Defense of St Louis is in Sensational Class. CREIGHTON BRACES IN END After rtelntr Shoved Around Field for Three Quarters, the Local War rior Pick Up unit Play Superior Boll. By tho persistent use of old stylo foot ball, Intermingled with' an occasional for ward pass anil .end runs, St Louis uni versity walloped Crelehton yesterday aft ernoon by the score" of 23 to' 3, Cretgh ton's only scoro came In the' last few min utes of ploy, when Jap Tamlsea booted the boll between the crossbars from the twenty-yard line. 8t, Louis" defense was tho stlffest propo sition tho blue and white has run up against, this season. Time after time thp Orelgnton lads would -broaJc through the first def enstv-only to ba stopped by a stonewall secondary defense, Creighton, on the other hand, shewed riot able to stop tho terrific smashes of -tho1 St Louis backs. Rati can and tZchrltz.'hod Uttlo trouble getting by the first ' and '.second defense of tho Creighton team and even then, with several husky opponents honjf lns about them, would crawl and squirm ond battle, for a fewvmoro valuable feet. Orelcrhton Htnrt Well. Creighton started off with a rush, but after a fumble the St. Louis backs started a march down the field. Twice they were In striking distance of the goal line, but a fifteen-yard penalty saved Creighton from one touchdown and the ball going out of bounds saved another. Snyder was then pushed through the center for the first touchdown and Magutre' kicked goal. The second quarter found the Creighton team fighting hard and they had the. ball In St. Louis' territory nearly tho, entlrtr period, but when within striking distance of the goal they fell down. In this quar ter Tamlaea tried his first dr6p kick, It being from the forty-yard lino. xThe ball carried well, but tho wind hold It off to one side. Walk Over Creischtnn. In the third quarter the BUllklns liter ally walked over the Creighton bunch. Their rushes came hard, and fast. Rati can, Zochrltz and T. Stadtherr carrying the ball mot of the time. Ratlcan, espe cially, making long gains through the line and around the ends. About tho middle of the third quarter Zachrltz caught a punt off the toe of Tamlsea and ran slxty-flvo yards through a broken , field for a touchdown. Magutre negotiated the goal. In tho same quarter, after working the ball almost the length of tho field, Ratlcan broke through center fop twenty yards and made another touchdown. Ma gulnJ again Jdcked goal. In the last period Creighton quit Its use- lfss attack against tho stonewall line of the MlssJjurlans. Open play was resorted to and many gains were made for issod distances.' Once on a fumble the St. Louis team recovered the ball and marched down the field, pushing Snyder across for their last touchdown. Magulre kicked goal. In this period the prettiest play of the game was pulled off. A double for ward pass was worked to perfection by the locals. Miller heaved the ball to Hop kins, who passed It clear across the line of scrimmage to Brennan, who got away for thirty yards, Tho St. Louts team 1 then strengthened and Jap Tumlsea was given his fourth chance at a drop kick, and booted theNball fairly between the posts. - J I-Mght to the Last. Creighton, despltf tho fact that It 'was beaten, put up a hard gamo and never quit at any time. The backs smashed Into the beefy Missouri lino time and again, and, althougn being thrown for losses or held without gains, kept on trying, and towards the end of the 'gamo were wear ing the line down. Had the local team used the open play and forward pass as 'much during the other periods as It did In the last. thTe Is no doubt but what the score would have been muah closer, : for when the blue and white tried the ' pass It meant gains in most Instances.
