r 72 : : Now That That Job's Out of the Way the Stove League May Shoot i Omaha and Lincoln in 6 to 6 Tie; Paynters Run Saves Central High; Tu,o Chances to Win Go to the Bad Splendid Test of Prowess Be tween High School Teams Ends With Question of Supremacy Unsettled. OMAHA LOSES GOOD CHANCE Twice Has Opportunity to Win, But Tails in Making Good on Opening. ALL SCORES IN THE THIRD Each Team Gets Touchdown in That Quarter and That Is All. GAME CLEAN AND WARM By FRED S. HUNTER. Lincoln, Nov. 11. (Special.) By reason of passing up two perfectly good chances to score touchdowns, Harold Mulligan's Central High war riors from Omaha were held to a 6-to-6 tie by the Lincoln High school eleven here this afternoon and the state interscholastic foot ball cham pionship continues in statu quo, Twice in the third quarter the Oma ha athletes had the ball under the shadow of the Lincoln goal posts, but taiieo to take advantage ot either op portunity, once by pulling a "Merkle" and once because of a fumble. Lincoln Line Too Good. On the first occasion which broke the hearts of the Central rooters Mul ligan's men rushed the ball to within a yard of the Lincoln goal line. They had four chances to push the pigskin over. Four times Quarterback Max well signaled for line drives. And four times the Lincoln line, which had been holding like a stonewall, hurled the Omaha chargers back. The Oma ha backs could not gain an inch against the center of that line, in fact they were thrown back every time. An attempt to skirt an end, especially if Morearty were given the ball, prob ably would have netted the desired score. A few moments later the Central athletes carried the ball to the Lincoln tifteen-yard mark. A forward pass was attempted. Morearty's throw was true and Harper, who had just re lieved Shepherd at end, got under the ball over the goal line, with nary a hostile athlete in reach. The ball bounced out of his arms. When Omaha Scored. Central High scored its lone touch down shortly after the start of the second period. Lincoln had the ball on Omaha's thirty-five yard line and essayed a forward pass. Webb hurled the pigskin toward the Lincoln for wards, but Paynter projected himself in the path of the flying oval, pulled it out of the air and ran sixty-five yards for a touchdown. Smith failed to kick the goal. Lincoln made a touchdown, which deadlocked the score in the same period. By a series of well-sustained rushes with Griffin, Brain and Webb carrying the ball, the home boys car ried the leather to the fifteen-yarc line. Here Omaha made a stand am held the Lincolnites for three down:, ' but on the fourth and last attemp. I n r- r r i. . r i : 1 fug vjruiin snot a lurwara pass 10 Lamb for the distance to the goal and, as Brain missed the kick for the additional point, the'score was a tie. Nice Crowd Out. , About 1,200 enthusiasts turned out for the conflict which was staged on the snow-covered Nebraska field and in the fact of a biting cold and a nasty wind, which made conditions Auayiuicijr uiiacrauic lur piaycr ana i spectator alike. Almost half of the attendance seemed to be from Omaha, a special train carrying a bunch down from that city. That Omaha had a shade advantage over the Capitol City boys, was the judgment of most of those who saw the fray. Omaha gained a total of 279 yards, while- Lincoln gained but 246 yards. Omaha earned first downs eleven times, while Lincoln earned first downs only eight times. Omaha attempted thirteen forward passes, five of which were successful for a total gain of ninety yards- Lincoln tried nine forward passes and only one was completed. It gained fifteen yards and scored the touchdown. The punting duel b etween Smith and Brain was a draw, both booting six punts for a total of ISO yards. In the Lines. Lineup and summary OMAHA.

KANSAS FARMERS DEFEAT MISSOURI Lansing Fails to Kick Goal After Pittman Plunges Over Line for Touchdown, SEVEN TO SIX THE SCORE Manhattan, Kan., Nov. 11. Fail ure of Captain Lansing of the Uni versity of Missouri foot ball team to kick goal after Pittman, the Tiger right halfback had plunged over the line for a touchdown early in the first period, lost Missouri the game today to the Kansas State Agricultural col lege, 7 to 6. It was Missouri's first defeat of the season. The Aggies came back with a rush after their goal had been crossed and in the same period sent over skinner for a touchdown by ten yard forward pass.

The denizen of the city of the unburied dead has survived one of the most dif ficult operations ever performed upon a base ball magnate. It involved the removal from the person of Mr. Eb bets of about $50,000. The surgery was accomplished by Dr. Fandom of Brooklyn. The $50,000 became imbedded Mr. Ebbet's system prior to the play ing of the first world series game of 1916. It was shot into him by the diamond enthusiasts in Mr. Ebbet's own municipality. The veteran base ball club owner at first felt that he would not have to undergo surgical treatment; that he could work out at least part of the $50,000 from his sys tem and into a bank through the me dium of a sixth world series combat. However, in this Mr. Ebbets was disappointed. The Dodgers, who promised to do the best they could to make the operation unnecessary, failed. And so, immediately after the tilth and deciding game ot the se ries was finished. Dr. Fandom began preparing Mr. Ebbets for the difficult task ot removing the JfSU.UUU, which many persons thought to be a task be yond the power of any human to ac complish. The well-known mogul is reported as "convalescing as speedily as condi tions warrant." Whether he will re cover absolutely is doubtful. The shock of the operation was very great, indeed, and tnends of Mr. Ebbets fear that he never will be the same again. V, Basket Ball Plans "For Colleges Made New York, Nov. 11.

Owns $250 diamond During the excitement attendant upon the scoring of the second Pitt touchdown at Forbes field Pittsburgh, recently, one ot the sport writers up in the press box on the third floor of the stand dropped a $250 diamond ring down into the crowd below. Strange, of course, that a sport writer should own a $250 diamond ring, but the young woman upon whose lap the bauble descended thought it stranger still that dia monds should fall from the sky. In the same box was John E. McKirdy, advertising manager of the Pittsburgh Railways company, and he immedi ately took steps to discover the owner of the gem. But no efforts were necessary. In less than two minutes after the ring had fallen the owner was down among the crowd advertising his loss and offering a reward for its recovery. No reward was necessary. The finder at once turned over her "find" and it was back to the press coop for the scribe. MlHlkln Victor.

CRIMSON DEFEATS THE VISITING TIGERS Harvard Victor Over Princeton by Margin of a Field Goal. SCORE, THEE TO NOTHING Stadium, Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 1. A field goal by Horween was the margin of Harvard's victory over an almost equally matched Princeton eleven in the stadium today. De fensively the Tigers proved Har vard's equal and stopped many Crim son plays which had been effective against other teams. Offensively Har vard was able at several times to gain enough ground through Casey's elu sive runs to threaten Princ.-a m's goal. Only by abortive attempts at long goafs from the field did the Tigers menace the Harvard line. Princeton's reliance in its extremity wah the for ward pass from various formations, but generally it failed. The Tiger team, defeated for the first time this season, went into tears as they slouched off the field. Harvard sup porters hailed Casey for his effective running attack and Horween for his accurate toe. Falls Tp Tigers, The luck of the toss fell to Prince ton and Captain Hogg chose to re ceive the ball. Horween kicked off, Moore fumbling the ball twice, but eventually regaining it after a twelve yard rushback. Driggs, deceptive kick ing was used repeatedly to advantage by Princeton. Both elevens showed better defen sive then offensive in the first period. The uncertain wind made the hand ling of punts extremely hard and there was little gain by either team through consistent attack. Score end first period: Princeton 0; Harvard 0. . Harvard Kicks Field Goal. ' Princeton kicked off in the third period, Harvard defending the south foal. With a series of rushing plays larvard carried the ball to the Tig ers' twenty-yard line. At this point Coach Rush sent Winn into the game. His appearance apparently was in violation of the rules and Princeton suffered) a fifteen-yard disadvantage when the ball was given to Harvard on the five-yard line. It was ex plained that Winn tackled Captain Hogg without the referee's sanction, Horween, rushing like a bull, charged twice for a gain of a yard each time. The Princeton players, with their backs against the goal posts, held Murray a half yard. Harvard's eager ness in , holding cost them fifteen yards. Horween, standing on his twenty-six-yard line, kicked a field goal. Score: Harvard 3; Princeton 0. After several scrimmages Ames was sent in at quarterback for Princeton, replacing Eddy. Brown replaced Thomas in Princeton's backfield. Harte was replaced by Phinney in the Harvard lineup. Hatsey replaced McGraw in Princeton's line. Flower went in for Horween, bring ing into the game fresh kicking abil ity for the Crimson, together with a threat at end running. He kicked out of bounds at Harvard's ninety-two-yard line. Harris, the Harvard cen ter, was taken out and Wiggin sent in. Score end third period: Harvard, 3; Princeton, 0. Fourth period: Princeton started the period on Harvard's forty-two-yard line. They were set back at once to midfield when Snow downed Moore behind his line for an eight yard loss. Brewer replaced Coolidee and neither side was able to seriously menace its opponent's goal and the game ended with the score. Harvard, 3; Princeton, 0. The line-up: ' HARVARD. t PRINCETON. C. A.

WENIG'S BOOTS GO WILD Ames, la., Nov. 11. (Special Tele gramsThe Ames Eskimos, by hard fighting, fierce smashing, some quite valuable end runs, and sledging around successfully on snow ball shoes, contrived to keep their goal line uncrossed and dished out to the Morningside preachers this -year's first defeat. The score was! Ames, 7; Morningside, 0. y Morningside never was near a touchdown, and neither was the crippled Ames outfit, until the second quarter. Tucker, star halfback, with a face broken by Kansas, was shot into the backfield to push the ball over at least once. Tucker did the pushing, enabling Quarterback Aid rich to set it over the Morningside line on an end run for twelve yards of ground, in the third period. A high wind laden with freezing cold, driving sleet and snow dia gonally across the length of the field, drovevwild the boots of Wenig, Morningside's fifty yards drop kicker. Wenig tried four of them, all inside forty yards, but they were blown or bdttpd wild. The lineup: AMES. MORNINOSIDE. Janda . . 1. Evans Evans Flrk .........rt.Ir.t TkK- v L.O. L.O.W,,,....."

Well, "the more the merrier," as the old saying goes, This pair has met so often they make the-two, Saras Mc Vey and Langford weep with envy, for they have passed that pair of con tinuous performers. In fact, Dillon and Levinsky have met so often the managers of the men have lost track of it, and an adding machine is re quired to figure up the wins, draws and losses. A friend of ours, who watched them in Boston recently, tells us they have the act down to such a fine point and have rehearsed it so thoroughly that people, looking at them in the ring, labor under the im pression they are fighting. i v -'f i ' C it JCJtV Benny Leonard Wins From Stanley Yoakum New York, Nov.
