Nebraska Mentor Will Make

I. peats Stiehm's Success. '
"PUNCH IN FINCH" LACKING
,.Y y : , .... A -
By FRED S. HUNTER. f
Doc Stewart, the new Nebraska
mentor, nas sometning oi a lasx aneaa
of htm if he hopes fo lead his Corn-
.husker charges through a successful
season as his predecessor, Jumbo
Stiehm, did for three years, with the
able assistancepf Vic Halligan, Guy
Chamberlain, Dick Rutherford and
.one or two others. .
Lack of weight in the backfield and
the absence of an individual star upon
whom he can depend in the pinches
are the problems most seriously con
fronting the coach and he is sched
uled to spend many a steepness night
and many a : tedious day before
Thanksgivjpg rolls around.
i That "nunrh in the ninrh"' which
characterized Nebraska elevens in
1913, 1914 and 1915 is missing this
year. In 1913 whenever Nebraska
had the ball under the shadow of the
enemy's, goal posts, a touchdown, or
at least a eoal kick for three points.
was practically assured, because iVicJ
Halligan wore the rags ot. Nebraska
that year. In 1914 there was both
Halligan and Chamberlain -to deliver
in the pinch and in 1915 there was
Chamberlain. If one would study the
records of these three great Nebraska
years he would find that Halligan and
"i i. , , i !
i,iiauiucriiiii were largely rcspuusiuic
for all of the Huskers' big victories. ,
I ' ' Breakers Ahead. V " - '
Bufc Stewart hasn got any Halli
gan or Chamberlain, he hasn't a man
anywhere near their class, anil his
problem is going to be a lot stiffer
than any Stiehm ever tackled. :
Twice .Saturday in the game against
the Kansas Aggies the, Cornhuskers
had the ball within a few inches of
the Aggies goal. One-time they had
four downs to make .a yard. It took
them three. One time they had tw.o
downs to make a yard. They failed to
make it. That's the 1ig defect Stew
art must remedy in orde to give the
Cornhuskers another championship.
Defense Is 0. K. '
,Stewart has made wonderful prog
ress in working out a'defense. Scor
ing against the Cornhuskers is going
to be a tough job this vear. The Kan
sas Aggies Saturday, with a good
team, never had a chance.' If the
Huskers continue to exhibit the same
superior brand of defensive foot ball
no apprehension along these- lines
need be felt by Comhusker support
ers, hut tlie ottense needs bolstering
up, and, as his material can only be
described as fair, Stewart will make
himself a miracle man if lie 7 repeats
the successes of (he fortunate Stiehm.
That the Cornhuskers will probably,
with an even break in the luck, cap
ture another Missouri Valley cha'm--pjonship.
is conceded by the greater
ptrt of valley gridiron followers, but
it's nothing more than an even bet
un inc vregqn ngics aim nit wus
are on Notre Dame for the big
Thanksgiving climax. ' . ;
Stiehm Gets Lacing.
The lacing administered to the
proteges of one E. Stiehm by the
warriors of Alcrtizo Stagg 'caused
something of a titter throughout Ne
braska. AVhen Stiehm went to In
diana predictions that he would jam
against a stonewall without the serv
ices of such as Halligan and Cham
berlain were frequent. And they
pioved out Saturday, for the Chicago
ans had it 'easy, and Chicago got a
blackeye a week ago when Carleton
walloped, the Maroons. ,
That Ames will be Nebraska's
strongest contender for the Missouri
Valley title was-evidenced by the de
feat given Kansas. The Iowa farmers
have assembled a formidable arrav of
gridiron talent this fall and give prom
ise of putting up a stiff battle against
the Cornhuskers when they clash the
first Saturday in November. Kansas
does not appear to be as strong as1
last year. Missouri, heralded as a
world-beater, only defeated Washing
ton, which never is very strong, 13 to
0, and. apparently has not the class it
has been said to possessr "
Gophers Hold Edge ,
.Minnesota continues to hold ihe
edge in the Western Conference by its
overwhelming defeat of jNorth Da
kota. The Gophers look like the best
bet in the west this year; Illinois
showed it is much weaker this fall by
succumbing to Colgate. Notre Dame
found the Haskell Indians easy pick
ings. Harper's crew looks mighty
good this year, even better than last,
and is going to make trouble for
everybody it meets, Nebraska in
cluded. The "Bigr Three" of the east barely
upheld their colors by the narrowest
of margins Saturday. Princeton, with
the aid of a sub who made a phenom
enal,, and probably lucky, goal kick of
forty five yards, only beat Tufts 3 to
-0, The , Tigers, by thus defeating
Tufts, which in turn defeated Harvard,
are the ranking favorites in the east.
Harvard ran up a score of 21 to 0 on

Chicago Aspires .;
To Foot Ball Title
In the Conference
Chicago, Oct. 15. Championship
aspirations are budding in the camp
of the University of Chicago foot ball
eleven as a result of its victory over
Indiana Saturday.
The triumph re-establishes Chicago
as a strong candidate for the Western
conference honors, although critics
agree that .Minnesota still has the
edge. The Maroons were 50 per cent
improved over a week ago.
The defeat of Indiana means its
elimination as a possible contender for
the oig nine championship, ihe
game was the only one on Saturday's
schedule having any bearing on the
conference title. '
The defeat of Illinois at the hands
of Colgate was a shock to supporters
of the Illini.
Illinois must prepare to face next
Saturday a high-powered eleven in
Ohio State, which buried Oberlin un
der a 128 to 0 score vesterday.
Minnesota, showing stead improve
ment, rolled up another big score yes
terday, trouncing North Dakota, 47
to 7. Captain Baston signalized his
return to -the game by brilliantly exe
cuting forward passes for long gains.
Wisconsin s- victory over south la-
kota revealed that the Badgers are
strong contenders tor the big Nine
honors.
The leaders outside the conference,

Arredondo Says Reforms Are
Being Inaugurated 'as Fast
as Possible.
BACK FROM SpiNG CHIEF
. Washington, Oct. 15. FJizeo Arre
dondo, Mexican ambassador desig
nate, told-here .today for the first time
of his recent visit to MeKtco City to
confer with General tlrranza, The
ambassador is convinced that the ex
changes of views which took place
will contribute materially toward
bringing about a better understanding
between the two governments.
Conditions in Mexico show Steady
improvement, Mr. Arredondo said, de
spite the destructive, effects of the
revolution. Economic, military and
civiceforms are being inaugurated as
rapidly as possible, he said, adding
that published reports of suffering
among the natives because of hunger
were greatly, exaggerated, the govern
ment having received complaints on
that score only from localities where
bandits were operating,, .confiscating
foodstuffs and other property.'' ,
' Activities "of Legalistaa.
The ambassador said there was no
question but that a "Icgalista" move
ment had been started to overthrow
his government. , . .
; Mr.' Arredondo described the legal
ista movement as another attempt on
the part of anti-Carranza interests to
injure President Wilson's prospects
for re-electibn. .
"They believe that if Mr. Hughes is
elected," the ambassadoY said, "they
will have another opportunity to pre
sent their case to' the United States
and seek assistance for it from the
American people. , i
No Reflection on G. O. P. '
Mr. Arredondo' said that in making
that statement he did not intend to
reflect upon the republican party or
its policy toward Mexico in any way.
expressing confidence that if the party
were brought into power by the No
vember election it wbuld be just in
its dealings with (lie Larranza govern

WEEK'S RESULTS. ' ,

Norfolk, 27; Commerce High, 0.

Lincoln. 26: Grand Island. 0.

All but one of the HiehXffame con
ference teams donned the woleskins
in regular battle Friday. The circle of'
games reached the sustained strength
ol ilie Lincoln team. Loach Keese s
eleven can now be considered as dan
gerous competitors for the title, per
haps on a par .with Beatrice.
The victory of the Capital City
oyer Grand Island in such overwhelm
ing terms as 26 to 0 indicates that
Central and Beatrice Hur i schools
will have their hardest battles when
they meet the Lincoln team. .. It is
possible that these games will prove
uic ucnuuig games in ing cnsmpion
ship race. At least they will deter
mine Central s standing. Beatrice
will first be met bv thes local eleven
and if defeat result's there will be
still one more chance for the local
lads against Lincoln the week follow
ing. Beatrice still retains the edge
in the conference, accordine to the
dope. ,
North Platte Baffles.
North Platte aDoarcntlv made ' a
baffling if not a poor showing against
the Curtis Aggies, a team that has
already been defeated by a ' minor
eleven. The score of 13 to 12 indi
cates that the western town is weak.
Authentic reports show an apposite
situation. North Platte's two touch
downs were made, hi ; the first half
and in the second Coach. Ohman
played second string men entirely
on his line regardless of the slaughter
lie was causing on Inst own men.
North Platte has a light, fast team,
with a much faster backfield, accord
ing to an eye jvitnes of the game
rnoay.
Norfolk s win over. Commerce Hiah
means little in the conference, except
to show that regardless of injuries
incurred the team is able to with
stand the assault of a healthy op
ponent. Captain ' Blakeman, half
back, broke his nose, in the Lincoln
game, a week ago, aiid was not in
the play Friday.. Central's .strength
i nthe conference will', be gauged
greatly by the outcome of its game
with Norfolk at that' town ; Friday.
Walker's men have been practicing
the entire season with but one ob
ject in view to beat Central, and it
will be a battle to a finish.

A. D. McCandless presideid and intro
duced Mr. Kennedy. , . . -'
Last night's address ' ' dealt with
Americanism and the loyalty of for'
eign-born citizens to the United
States. Mr. Kennedy spoke as one
foreign-born citizen , to another, and
expressed the conviction that the foreign-bornAmericans
would as readily
respond to the call of their adopted
country as those of .American birth.
He said, that the fact that a foreign
born citizen loved the land of his
birth indicated that lie was capable
of being loyal to the land of his adop
tion. t !: .
Becomes True Citizen.
He stated, however, that he believed
the foreign-born citizen should leave
every notion that was inconsistent
with Amsrican insfltutions at the wa
ter's edge on entering the United
States. He urged that when a na
tion insisted on loyalty from its citi
zens, as it had a right to do, it
should guarantee to that citizen abso
lute security and protection i at all
places in the world when his .claim
was, proper. - " .
Mr. Kennedy was accompanied here
yesterday by H. W.i Munson, editor
of the Beatrice bxpress, who joined
the party at Fairbury, where Mr. Ken

enbeel. The party reached Fairbury,
at noon and were met by, Frank Rain,'
county attorney, ana Kj, a. Steele,
chairman of the - Hughes reception
committee. At the request of the com
mittee Mr; Kennedy spoke for a half
hour preceding the arrival of Mr.
Hughes. He was greeted by "fre
quent bursts of applause and yells
from the audience. - '
Welcome- at Odell,
From Fairbury the Kennedy contin
gent proceeded, to Odell, where a
street meeting nceting was held. Mr.
rvciincuy was ruyany rcccivea mere.
He spoke to an audience- in which
there ware numerous citizens of for
eign birth. He was asked as to his
attitude on world affairs, a'nd stated
that he wished the same treatment
accorded to each European nation
that was accorded ito every other.
From the crowd a friendly German
voter answered, "That's all we warh."
After his address he was surrounded
by foreign-born voters of every na
tionality, who freely expressed their
admiration for his expressions of true
and actual neutrality. There were
many assurances tront the voters that
Mr. Kennedy had warmed them is
their feelings for the United States.
