If only the Cornhuskers will show the same spirit, the same courage, the same vigor and the same fight against Notre Dame Thursday that they did against Iowa Saturday that is the fervent prayer of Nebraska followers who saw Stewart's men crush the Hawkeyes, 34 to 17. For the first time this year the Cornhuskers gave the new coach a sample of that old Nebraska fight and it was some sample, too. The Husker eleven seemed to be completely re juvenated. Had Stewart's warriors battled Kansas with the same effort and earnestness they fought Iowa, the score would have been lop-sided. And if Stewart can hold that fight in his men for four more days, a lot of 1001 Dau lans are going to De sur prised at the result of the Notre Dame clash. It was an entirely . different team that played Iowa Saturday. One who saw Dotn tne Kansas and Iowa games would be tempted to suspect that Scwart jabbed his men with a hypo just before the latter fray. It's a cinch lie did something to them. Rhodes Is Some Boy. Dusty Rhodes played in the back- held against Kansas. Saturday be played end on the defense and guard on the offense. And Dusty quickly proved that the line is his place. What Dusty didn't do to those Iowa boys wasn't worth doing. He spilled inter ference all over the field. He upset tne entire side ot tne lowa line. And time and again he nailed Iowa charg ers before they could gain an inch. On one occasion he catapanlted through, bowled over his opponent on the line, knocked the interference to one side on his way and slammed Jenkins into the earth for a fifteen yard loss. It happened so quickly it looked like the rest of the Iowa fine was just getting started, when Dusty had finished his work. It looked like he made just one dive straight through, getting three men with the same movement. Hugo Otoupalik, who has been bat an ordinary backfield man, was a star of first magnitude. He made yards every time he plunged, he was so dependable that whenever the pinch arose it was Otie who was given the ball. Everytime Nebraska got within striking distance of the Hawkeye goal, Husker enthusiasts knew it meant a touchdown, for Otie could carry the oval through if nobody else could. Cameron On the Job. Cameron, subbing at center for Moser, was another big factor in the Husker victory. He played as good a defensive game at center as was ever seen in the valley, even out shadowing Moser in this department And he had mercury in his shoes, too. It was Cameron, who, after a forty yard chase, ran down Davis, the fleet footed Hawkeye back, when Davis got away from the rest of the team, after intercepting a forward pass. It would have been a hostile touchdown, but for Cameron. The Nebraska backfield played great foot ball Saturday, but it was the line that shone. That line played a wonderful game and its work easily stood out over that of the backfield, which is rather unsual as it is the backfield men who have the best op porunities to catch attention. Vindication of Stewart. The victory over Iowa was a con clusive vindication of the Sewart method, the side-pass without a quar terback. Some criticism of this sys tem has been heard, but it ceased abruptly after Saturday. A person who had never seen Ne braska play before would have gone home averring that "Joe" Caley was a great line plunger. Those who have fol lowed Husker foot ball, know that Caley is no line plunger. He's too light. But that Stewart system pushed Caley through the line and his speed and shiftiness enabled him to increase the distance. The same applies to Johnny Cook. They both looked like line plungers, because of the Stewart style, but they are not because they haven't the weight or the drive. So it was a victory for the coach as well as the team. If the Cornhuskers put up the same kind of game .against Notre Dame they did against Iowa, it's going to be a tough battle and a close score and Nebraska has an even chance to win. But, of course, if they refer to their lackadaisical playing of the Jayhawk contest but then we're hop ing they won't. For Rheumatism. Apply Sloan' Liniment to tho painful part la all you need.

Here are the bare facts. Be cause of bruises and accumulated in juries, Captain Ferdinand Duncan the 200-pound leader of the South Dakota eleven, may not be able to play against Creighton Thanksgiving day. 1 his is merely a probability, However, a more undisguised blow to south Dakota s chances is the physi cal condition of Frank McCormick, 190-pound half back, who has starred in every game this fall. It is unlikely that McCormick can be used against Creighton university. Tom Caffey, quarter back and valuable back fielder on offense and defense, is another who must be counted out of the South Dakota machine all fall. Director McCormick and Assistant Coach Johnson are laboring with might and main to key up the remnant of the squad and evolve an effective lineup for the big Thanksgiving game. Carter Riegel, Harold Sprague and Don McKinnon will have to fill the empty shoes of the heroes who have fallen in the fray in the last two or three games. All three are worthy young men and likely to prove effec tive in the Creighton battle. Don Mc Kinnon demonstrated his worthiness by booting a field goal in the Michi gan Aggie game, one of the bright spots of the South Dakota gridiron's record of 1916. Mr. Riegel, true to his name, is king of South Dakota punters, and his worthy leg has been worth many a yard in defensive tac tics. Harold Sprague is a versatile player, good on offense and defense, a dependable ground gainer when the ball is entrusted to him, and a hard man to errenrnvent on the forward pass. Nonpareils Lose To Bluffs Team Possessed of a stronger line and a backfield which battled like Trojans, the Council Bluffs Longcways, thought by many on this side of the river to be an inferior bunch, grabbed off a lead on the champion Nonpareils and won, 13 to 0. Overconfidence on the part of the Nonpareils upset their asoirations and instead of playing their customary peppery game tney coughed up a con sumptive brand of foot ball. The first Quarter terminated with the score knotted, but during the sec ond period tne Longeways got busy and pushed the ball over the eoal twice before the Nonpareils came out of their trance. Mcintosh scored via the forward pass method and II. Brewick registered touchdown num ber two. One goal was kicked. According to the original agreement made prior to the game, the Longe ways are to nlav a return eame at Luxus park next Sunday.

Jarosh Shoots Total Of 616 in the Singles St. Louis, Nov. 26. (Special Tele gram.) Following are singles and doubles shot by Omaha teams at the Midwest tournament today: einoi.es. By FRANK QUIGLEY. Skill of the Athletics to successfully negotiate the aerial attack is what triumphed over the doughty Ben Ken nedy Colls yesterday afternoon and cinched the Class B championship. The 6nal score was 12 to 0, in favor of the Athletics. The Kennedy Colts bathed viciously against every inch of ground gained by their opponents and although their defensive work was superb as far as straight foot ball is concerned they were unable to break up cannon ball passes shot by Arthur Moran. These passes in most cases proved irresis table, otherwise the contest would have terminated with the score knotted. The first quarter ended with each squad drawing a blank, but toward the expiration of the second quarter, Moran heaved the ball to Morton, who winged it twenty yards at a ten second clip for the initial touchdown. Things were going along on fiifty fifty order during the third quarter, when with only a few minutes to play, Moran boosted the oval to Morton, who trapped the ball and gained fif teen yards, being downed on the two yard line. Fletcher plunged through the line on the next play for the bal ance. Uoal was missed. The touchdown did not serve to dis hearten the Colts for they came back and tought hard in the final quarter, Claim the Championship. By virtue of the victory, the Ath letics claim the Uass championship, but are willing to play any team that disputes their title a post-season game. provided that they can set forth the conditions. Art Moran's passing featured the quarrel and although he is a Class A foot ball player, the losers did not protest against him. Fletcher was the chief ground gainer for the Athletics and he proved to be a real demon, picking the soft spots. Gus Carlson, Nordstrom and Schrum were continually in the lime light for the Kennedy Colts. The lineup: IB. KENNEDY COl.TS.

Paul Dobson's Dad Catches Pickpocket Lifting His Diamond A couple of smooth niclroockets in vaded Iowa City last Saturday appar ently witn intentions ot removing Ne braska rooters from some of their sur plus cash and they performed quite successfully, until they tackled Faul Dobson s father who had gone to Iowa City to see his son and the Cornhuskers trounce the Hawkeyes. One of the "dips" tried to lift a $1,- UUU diamond stud of Mr. Dobson st but was detected and Mr. Dobson im mediately grabbed him and demanded his property. The thief insisted in his innocence, but, still maintaining a hold on his prisoner, Mr. Dobson started a search for the law. This frightened the captured pickpocket's partner who ostensibly picked the stud up from the floor, exclaiming "Why here's your diamond." The pickpockets had fleeced some of the Nebraska lads out of small sums before they tried to get Mr. Dobson's diamond, but their' failure with him frightened them into suspending op erations and no more losses were re ported.

Yesterday rang down the curtain on the largest middlewest tournament ever held in the association at St. Louis. One hundred and seventy-one five-man teams, 300 two-man teams and 650 individual entries were re ceived and most of those have already competed. This huge entry list cre ated a prize fund of $10,500 to be di vided up among the forty-three high five-man teams, sixty-five two-man teams and 103 individuals. The visiting entry surpasses that of previous tournaments, many of the outside teams being new additions to the ranks of the association. Besides the magnitude of the entry list other conditions were of the high est quality. The alleys, scores, tour nament management and entertain ment were the best possible. The an nual meeting was the best ever held and several radical changes were made in the association's constitution. At this meeting, President George Sholtz of Des Moines was re-elected H. C Menne of St. Louis, first vice president, re-elected; C. E. Ellis, Sioux City, second vice president, re elected; C. L. Weekes, third vice president; D. D. Neblett, Marshall- town, fourth vice president, re elected; George C. Lowe, Kansas City, secretary-treasurer; M. J. Locker of Des Moines, secretary. Des Moines was chosen to entertain the next meeting of the association, after a hard fight on the floor with I'eoria, 111, a rival bidder. New Alleys Ready Soon. While Omaha teams did not break any records, they rolled good totals and fared well in the singles and doubles. With the big tournament off of their minds, the local pin tumblers can now give their attention to an other big event, which is scheduled to take place during the coming week, probably on Thanksgiving day, if plans work out. At this time, the doors of the new Omaha alleys on Harney street will be thrown open to the public Work on this new home for bowlers is being rushed to completion and when finished, will present the fin est bowling alley layout in the coun try. Ten first-class alleys, fully equip ed and without a post or obstruction of any kind to break the wide ex panse, will be the scene presented to the bowling public. The equipment in front is of the latest design and in addition to this a large balcony will seat a large number, who daily watch the matches and playing. Seven leagues are already organized and ready to commence activities. The matches in the All-star Omaha league will be rolled on the Farnam alleys Friday evening of this week, instead of Thursday. The change was made on account of the regular sched uled night falling on Thanksgiving. Bowline Notes. Soon the big leaguers will he rolling two matches a week and then watch the avr ages climb. It's about time some team took a fall out of the Luxus. The load they have Is spoiling the race. "Cap" Oleen of the Home Resturant crew went through the week without announcing ajny addiuon to his lineup.

In the throe years' time the Powell Sup ply team has rolled against the Clara Belles HEW POWERS ROLE IN THE "BIG NINE" Ohio State, by Winning West ern Conference, Will De mand Better Schedule. GOPHERS ARE WHIBLWINDS Chicago, III., Nov. 26. Sweeping changes in the makeup of the 1917 foot ball schedules of the "Big Nine" probably will be made as a result of the upsets of the 1916 season, which closed with Saturday's games. The so-called "Big Four" of the Western conference Minnesota, Chi cago, Wisconsin and Illinois are de clared to have held sway in the schedule-making in previous years, leaving Ohio State, Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue and Iowa to shift for them selves. Ohio State, which won the confer ence championship Saturday by de feating Northwestern, probably will demand a more imposing list of games for next season. Coach Wilce of the Buckeyes, it is reported, will attempt to arrange games with Minnesota and Chicago in 1917. Northwestern is ex pected to back up Ohio State in in sisting on a choice selection of dates. The playing of "Chick" Harley. the dashing right halfback of le cham pionship Ohio state eleven, whose sensational work spelled defeat for Northwestern in the title game Satur day, stamps him as an eligible candi date for ail-American honors in the opinion of western critics. Harley scored one of the two touchdowns that defeated Northwestern, kicked a goal from held and was a power in defensive tactics. Gophers Mystery. Although the wonderful Minnesota eleven may not have a claim to a championship title, close followers of the gridiron sport are agreed that the team is one of the greatest foot ball machines developed in the west in years. ' The line attack of the eleven in its game with Chicago was an attack of eleven men in every play, each doing the exact thing expected of him. The 49 to 0 defeat of Chicago was the worst the Maroons have ever suffered. In offensive Minnesota was so pow erful that only three times during the game, was it compelled to punt. Only twice was Chicago able to made first down without the aid of a penalty. Frequently the Gophers abandoned playing straight foot ball and thrilled the crowd with perfect execution of forward passes for long gains. Two of Saturday's conference games resulted in scoreless tics. Neither Indiana nor Purdue was able to put over a score in their annual fame at Lafayette, and Wisconsin and llinois fought through four periods without a tally. Honors for the first half of the Wis consin-Illinois game swung heavily on the side ot the lllini, but the Kadgers put up a brilliant defense in the sec ond half and kept their goal from danger. Purdue menaced the Indiana goal three times and was credited with outplaying the Hoosiers, but lacked the necessary punch to put the ball over. Oklahoma Wins From Arkansas University Fort Smith, Ark., Nov. 26. The University of Oklahoma foot ball team launched a series of line drives in the last half of the game here yes terday with the University of Arkan sas, which produced a touchdown that overcame Arkansas' lead and gave the Sooners victory, 14 to 1J. Misunder standing between Hardin and Shackel ford of Arkansas as to which should catch Hale's punt out for position aft er his touchdown eventually led to they have only won three games out of(tne Arkansas defeat Neither player caught the ball and a chance for goal from touchdown, which would have tied the game, was lost. Record of the Year for Scores Made at Foot Ball The Ducky Holmes team defeated the Merchants, 83 to 6. This is the record in amateur foot ba 1 this sea son, the Fontenclles having held it before when they defeated th Celi- fornia Street Merchants, 56 to 0. The Ducks made thirteen touch downs and kicked five goals, putting tne lorwarn pass to good use.

Frltscher and his aeroplane delivery came In for the usual amount of attention and comment from the galleries. "Shaney" surely fought the wood in the team event and singles.

They say the alleys are Una, th. schedule well managed and the entertainment par excellence. The women's entry In a special tourna ment held at the close of tne present tour nament Is reaching large proportions. Of course, most of the entries are from St. Louis, but four or five hsve been received from outside places.
