Winners, Boys From North Scoring First. SIX THOUSAND AT GAME " Creighton university Students, alumni and friends are today singing the praises of Tommy Mills, their foot ball coach, and to the Creighton team. For they have been avenged. Avenged of foot ball defeats of nine successive games. Many years ago Creighton started into wallop South Dakota. Nine times they tasted the bitter stiilg of defeat. That is, if you count the contest last season, when the Catholics held the truculent Coyotes to a scoreless tie. I liven then Creighton aanerents took the matter as a defeat for they thought that the blue and white war riors should have trampled over the South Dakotans. v But yesterday it was different. Creighton won and won in a manner that left no doubt as to the superior ity of the two elevens. The score was 20 to 13. Six Thousand it Game. The six thousand fans who wit nessed the contest are positive that ' no better game was played in the middle west and they are equally sure that Tommy Mills has one of the best foot ball machines ever seen in action in this city. And this is how the team proved it to the throng of foot ball enthusiasts. They ran the ball up and down the field for three touchdowns. They pulled off six perfect forward passes out of fifteen attempts, while their opponents tried nine and were able to negotiate but one for a distance of fifteen yards. They made first down twelve times. The Coyotes did the same thing but twice. In fact, Creigh ton accomplished everything in the way of foot ball that a team can ac complish. If there was anything lacking, it certainly was not evident to the crowd. : , But Few Penalties. And incidentally the contest was as clean as two teams" fighting for supremacy could play. Creighton was . penalized only five, yards, while their opponents were set back a distance of forty-five yards. The Coyotes started out as if they were positive of annexing another vic- "'tory. They kicked off to Creighton and on the second down secured the oval on a recovered fumble. Then big Fullback McKinnon showed how an educated toe on be made to annex counters. He drop kicked the ball from the thirty-five-yard line, which barely flopped over the goal posts. It gave the South Dakotans a three point lead, which, however, was soon over come when Tommy Mills' proteges ufilimbered their aerial attack. It was the aerial attack that proved so baff ling to the Coyotes. That and a lit tle of old fashioned line plunging, though it cannot be said that the Catholics were as successful in buck ing the line as they were with the fly ing ovals. Creighton Scores. Creighton made its first score when Marty Flanagan grabbed a forward pass and passed eight chalk marks before a South Dakota second defense man could bring him down. Flana gan finally finished up the job by car rying the ball over the goal after Creighton had worked it within five yards of the goal by straight foot ball. Captain Platz, who was sent in to take Mullholland's place at left half. kicked goal. The period ended 7 to J. Creighton s favor. . Creighton made its second score near the close of the half, when Platz heaved a perfect throw to Lutes, who tore off thirty yards. With the ball on South Dakota three-yard line, Quar terback Long went through cented for. the second touchdown. Brennan who again had replaced Platz in this period, kicked goal. i. On the next kickoff, a South Dako ta back field man recovered the kick on Creighton's forty-yard line. Full back McKinnon again brought his educated toe to the front and made a perfect drop kick from the forty-yard line. Jt was one of the best boots witnessed on the Crelnhton field this season. The half ended with the ball in the center of the field. .' No Score In Third. . There was nothing doing in the third period. That is nothing in the scoring line. Creighton pulled off sev eral well executed forward passes, but the wily Coyotes were too watchful to allow any of the Creightontes to scamper over the goal line. Old Biz Business, who replaced Carl Lutes at center, proved to be the hero of the last chapter of the exciting game. He 'intercepted a South Dakota pass and hot-footed it thirty yards over the line. Brcnnam failed to kick a goal. i South Dakota's only touchdown came in the last five minutes of play when Newboy, who hahd taken the place of Sprague, annexed a forward pass for sixty yards in one of the most sensational runs of the game. After working the ball down the field for the twenty of the twenty-five re maining yards, Reigel was finally shoved over for the touchdown. Mc Kinnon kicked the goal. Stars of the Game. -' . The Creighton team abounded with , stars. There was Captain Roy (Kai ser) Platz. who. although iinHcr the I ; doctor's care, went into the contest, and by his perfect passes, was al most individually responsible for the win. Platz played bis las) game with Itic blue anil white as he will gradu- STARS IN LAST GAME WITH BLUE AND WHITF. J 1, " . ' i j ' ' DUTCH PLATZ. ate from the law school next June. Then there was Art Stapleton at right guard who stopped every at tempt of South Dakota going through his side of the line. Art played one of the best defensive and offensive games of his foot ball career. Little Quarterback Long was no piker when it came to getting in the lime light. Lqng was there and over in catching the heaves of Captain Platz. If Mull holand ever played a better left half and left end than he did yesterday, there are those who would have like to see him perform then. Mullho land seldom missed a tackle. Time and again her aced down the field when Lutes punted the ball and tackled the Coyote back field man in his tracks. Duncan, McKinnon, Har mon and Reifet were the real stars of the Coyote aggregation. J, he lineup CRBIOHTON. Pos. SOUTH DAKOTA L.R Duncan (C.) h.T Beeley L.Q.

Tarkio defeated elle vue college here today, 38 to 0, in the annual Turkey day contest. The game was scrappy and hard fought, being characterized by line plunging and punting. Bellevue had a stronger team than in former years and was able to break up Tarkio's forward passes successfully. The de fensive work of Irwin at end for Bel levue was fine. The Tarkio team played like a machine, the line smash ing of the hacks featuring. Captain ePterson and Lunan of Tarkio played their last game today, as both are seniors. Lunan received an injury in the first quarter, after making a serif's of long smashes. Jen ison, who took Lunan's place, played his -best game of this year, making two touchdowns.

PLAY BRILLIANT FOOT BALL Omaha H-ffh wound un one of the most brilliant season in the history of the school, yesterday by defeating the St. Joseph (Mo) High school eleven, 35 to 7. ' Omaha gave the fans a wide as sortment of foot ball from line plung ing to the most brilliant of open fjot ball. Every trick play that Cfach Mulligan has taught his proteges dur ing the last wtfek was tried and worked out to perfection. The hon ors were divided evenly among the members of the Omaha tetam, Shep herd getting two touchdowns, More- arty and, and Peterson and Maxwell one each. 1 he Umaha line, several members of which played their last game for the high school yesterday, put up a gritty battle against their heavier opponents, while the backs were ripping up and down the field for good gains. Paynter and Phillips on tackle-bac plays never failed to gain and were called upon numerous times to make first downs. Krogh at center put up one of the best games he has played this year. Pearson and Shepherd at the wing positions played well on defense and pulled down many long passes for long gains. St. Joseph had sTpair of halbacks in Sellers and Meyers who carried the ball consistently for gains, while Slat er, the giant" tackle, kept the gains through his position down to a mini mum. "Chuck" Morearty, playing his last game for the high school, played in the same brilliant form he has dis pplayed throughout the season. "Morey" made only one touchdown yesterday, which is rather unusual, but he brought the ball within scor ing distance on numerous occasions and his team-mates took it the re maining yards. Central Stars Quik. St. Joseph chose to receive at the opening of the first quarter, and Pe terson kicked off to Burkhart, who was tackled on his twenty-yard line. Omaha held, and St. Joe punted to Maxwell on their fourth down. Oma ha punted on their second down, and Iverson recovered the ball on a fum ble. Paynter made twentv-five vards on tackle around, and a fordward pass, Maxwell to Shepherd, scored the first touchdown. Maxwell kicked goal. Omaha kicked off, and St. Joe punt ed and recovered the ball on Oma ha's twenty-yard line following a fumble by Maxwell. The ball ' was advanced to the 15-yard line, where Omaha held, and a drop-kick was at tempted on the last down, failing by only a few feet. The quarter ended with the ball in Omaha's possession on their 40-yard line. The second touchdown was scored early in the second quarter. A long forward pass, which Shepherd got possession of after it hahd bounced out of the waiting arms of an Omaha player and had been touched by an opponent, was responsible for it. Maxwell kicked goal. Morearty ran the ball around right end and cov ered the intervening fifty yards to the goal line, but the touchdown was not allowed because Phillips was caught holding. But "Morey" was not to be denied, and after Maxwell had taken the ball to the 15-yard line, he swung around Tight end for the remaining distance and the third touchdown. Maxwell kicked goal. No more scor ing was doned uring the remainder of the half, but Omaha continued to force the fight and was taking the ball down the field wenh the hald ended.

COLGATE BLANKS, BRUNONIAN CREW Brown Eleven Defeated by Hamilton Squad, Twenty Eight to Nothing. FIELD S00GT AND SLIPPERY Providence, R. I., Nov. 30. The Colgate eleven administered a crush ing defeat to Brown university's foot ball team today. The score was 28 to 0. The game started on a field that was soggy and slippery and made wetter occasionally by showcVs. Be tween the second and third periods the rain settled to a steady downpour making the field a muddy pool, a con dition that prevented Browns light and speedy backs from showing to its best advantage. Brown Never Dangerous. Brown was never dangerous. Col gate's heavy and powerful backfield gained almost at will, while her line was a stonwall against the Brown at tacks. Pollard, Brown'ss negro halfback, was a tower of strength for the home team on both the offense and defense, but had no chance, to get' away on the treacherous" field. Annan of Brown in the closing minutes of the play made the longest run of the game, 43 yards, but the team lacked the punch to follow up the advantage. The lineup and summary: COLGATE (2!) !Pos.
