Eddie Mullholland Scores All
Three Touchdowns; Morearty
Gets Into Game for First
Time This Year.
Outplaying Dubuque in every e'e
partment of the came, Crcighton
trampled al! over Coach Dorais Blur
and Gold eleven yesterday, 21 to 0.
Coach Mills' proteges charge tip
and down the field to liteir hearts
content, and would have scored two
more touchdowns had not the Iowa
collegians braced when the Omaha
eleven had the ball beneath their goal
posts and presented a stonewall de
fense to the Creighton warriors.
Mullholland wa sthe hero of the
game for the Blue ftnd White, gain
ing the three touthdowns scored for
his comrades, and bearing on his
shoulders the brunt of the offensive
work. It was Mullholland on 10-yard
plunges through the line, Mullholland
on a dash around the ends, it was
Mullholland who carried the ball over
the line, Mullholland here, there and
everywhere. And following closely
in his wake and gaining fresh glory
for themselves were Leahy, Kelly,
and Morgan.
The Dubuque end?, Ivis and Bend
lage, were all they were cracked up
to he. Time and again the Creighton
backs would depart on a long scoot
around the ends only to have one of
this speedy t pair rudely ignore the
interference upset the man with the
ball. The Blue and Gold bacjcfield,
consisting of Allen, Martin and Ken
ning did not show up so well, but
twice they threw the Creighton root
ers in a panic by marching down the
field on a series of trick plays and
some straight foot ball, only to lose
the pigskin on the local's 10-year
line.
Improvement Marked.
Altogether Coach Mills seemed to
have accomplished wonders with his
team last week. The Blue and White
crew had lots of ginger and worked
like a well-oiled machine, and their
performance both on offensive and de
fense gives evidence of the fighting
spirit of the Omaha squad.
When it came to hard playing, the
alrt Dubuque eleven were in the game
from the first sound of the whistle,
fighting bravely for their alma mater,
tintil the last shrill pipe of the whistle
sounded the death knell to their
hopes.
Crcighton won the toss and chose
to defend the south goal. The Blue
and White immediately began a pa
rade up the field, with Harmon, Lahcy
and Mullholland alternating in carry
ing the pigskin, until Dubuque's seven
yard line was reached. Here a
Creighton fumble was recovered by
Dubuque and Shecley for Dubuque
kicked the oval out of the danger
lone. Kelly received the ball in the
center of the field, A pass from
Mullholland to Leahy netted 10 yards,
Mullholland went through . right
tackle for 6, Leahy made two more
yards, Harmon took the ball for 10
yards, and on three successive plays
by Mullholland, the doughty halfback
took the ball over the line for the
first score. Campbell kicked goal.
Creighton Threatens.
Sheeley received the ball on the
kivk-off and after unsuccessfully try
ing to pierce the Creighton line, was
forced to punt. Mullholland reeled
off 25 yards around right end, Harmon
took the pigskin for fiveand then
three and Leahy plowed through the
line for five more yards, after which

JAYHAWK ELEVEN
WINS FROM AMES
IN BITTER FRAY
Twenty - Five - Yard Forward
Pass From Pringle to Lon
borg Gives Kansas Victory
in Garrison Finish.
Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 27c (Special
Telegram.) With a 25-yard forward
pass I'riiiK'lc to Longborg, which re
sulted in a touchdown, Kansas won
the annual battle with Ames on Mc
Cook field here this afternoon, 7 to
0. The ball was passed front the 35
yard line to Lonborg, on the Ames'
nine-yard line, who raced across the
line for the only score of the game
and the victory for Kansas in the
first conference game of the season.
The play came in the final quarter,
when only live minutes of play re
mained allowing Ames, in spite of its
15 attempts to complete a forward
pass, insufficient time to score,
The Iowa state team and Kansas
were the most evenly matched teams
seen on McCook field in many years.
A fclanee at the summary will bear
out the statement for during the
entire name Kansas gained but three
first downs while Ames made six,
three of the Ames first downs being
on forward passes in the last quarter
of the game.
The first three-quarters turned out
to be slow foot ball with Kansas
playing a wonderful defensive game.
Iowa state exhibited a strong defense
in the little time that Kansas had
the ball, but unable to make much
headway with their back field buck
ing Kansas stone wall line. The
famous Cyclone end runs, in which
a wonderful interference is run, failed
to mystify the Kansas squad and
usually resulted in lost ground for
the northerners.
Game Grows Faster.

Conference Bars Scott,
Full Back of Hawkeyes
The western conference eligibil
ity committee has ruled against
Homer W Scott, the Ida Grove foot
ball star, who has been a crack full
back at Iowa during the last two
years. Scott played about three min
utes in a game three years ago, and
the committee has ruled that he is in
eligible as a consequence. He had
not participated in any games this
year, as he was waiting the commit
tee's ruling. The blow is a severe
one to the Hawkeye eleven, as Ful'
Back Von I.ackum is needed else

Warner's Machine Fails to
Work With Accustomed
Smoothness, But Pulls Out
14 to 6 Victory.
Philadelphia, Oct. 27. The Univer
sity of Pittsburgh's great foot ball
machine did not work as smoothly as
usual today in the game against the
University of Pennsylvania, but won,
14 to 6Y
Pennsylvania's defense in the first
period held Pittsburgh to spasmodic
gains, while by a hcries of overhead
passes and end runs the Quakers ap
proached within 10 yards of Pitts
burgh's goal, only to lost the ball on
an intercepted pass. In the second
period the playing was mostly in
Pittshurghs territory.
In the third period Pittsburgh, ob
taining the ball on its own 10-yard
line on the kickoff, carried it back by
short runs and line plunging to Penn
sylvania's 30-yard line, McLaren do
ing most of the carrying. McCarter
then tossed a pretty pass to Carlson,
who shot over for a touchdown.
Pittsburgh's second touchdown fol
lowed when Berry's punt was blocked
by a Pittsburgh player falling on the
ball one yard from the goal line. Mc
Laren easily carried it over.
In the final period both sides resort
ed largely to the aerial game. A.
Wray intercepted a forward pass and
planted the ball on Pittsburgh's
seven-yard line. Three rushes put it
across for Pennsylvania's only score,
Straus making the touchdown. The

War May Wreck Leading
Hockey League of Canada
According to reports in Canadian
newspapers, the prospects of profes
sional hockey in Canada during tU
coming season are decidedly sliift.
Following the positive announcement
of Ottawa Hockey club, directors
thatthey would not guarantee salar
ies and that they would resume only
if the players cme in under a co
operative bast.-), news comes from
Quebec that the ancient capital will
not have a team. The plans of the
National Hockey association called
for a four-club league, consisting of
Ottawa, Wanderers, Canadians and
Quebec. However with Quebec out,
i the possibility of continuing is mani-
inized. loronto is a back number as
far as professional hockey is con
cerned, at least until after the war,
and there is no other place where a
franchise could be exercised. '
Semi-Pro Club Ties Can
To Red Dooin, Ex-Great
Another of the old-timers who
helped make the game what it is has
passed up the bat and glove in an
swer to the call of age. Charles Dooin
is the latest. Red was playing with
a semi-pro club around Philadelphia
and was released because of his in
ability to hit. His average was ex
actly .045. Only a few years 'aero
Dooin was regarded as one of the
best marksmen in the bie; show. He
managed the Philadelphia Naturals
for several years, finally giving way
to Pat Moran. After leaving the
Quakers he played with the Cincin
nati Reds, the New York Giants, and
bossed a team in the International.

Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 27. Michigan's green but power

Dubuque Athletes Delay Massacre
By Getting Lost in Fort Dodge, la.
Coach Dorias' Dubuque athletes
must have had a hunch Creighton in
tended to annihilate them yesterday
afternoon.
The Dubuque team came to. Omaha
over the Illinois Central. That rail-
I road goes through Fort Dodge. About
dawn the train on which the Dubuque
players were riding rolled into Fort
Dodge for a short stop. Six Dubuque
athletes. Supple, tackle; Whalcn,
guard; Mead, guard; Ives, end; Judge
and Hanatin, substitutes, tumbled off
to look at the scenery. Apparently
they had never been so far west be-
fore and were determined to see all
the sights. hen the tram resumed
its journey toward Omaha the six ath
letes were still sightseeing 'n Fort
Dodge.
After he discovered his loss, Dorias
wired the athletes at Fort Dodge to
catch the next train. They managed
to get one which was due in Council
Bluffs at 3:30. Taxicabs were .rushed
to the Bluffs to get the tardy athletes
and hurry them to Creighton field.
In addition, Dor'as or one of his
assistants left a valuable grip contain
ing the signals or something like that
on the street car.
As a result of all this tardiness, the
massacre, scheduled to start at 3
o'clock, was delayed until 4 o'clock
and did not wind up until 't was too
dark to even see the players let alone
the ball.
NEBRASKA FANS
GROW WRATH Y AT
HUSKER DEFEAT
Unable to Understand Why
Team of Such Unlimited
Talent Should Fail So
Utterly.
Gloom and wrath shared honors
with Omaha foot ball fans late yes
terday afternoon and last night when
returns of the Michigan-Nebraska
clash at Ann Arbor flashed over the
telegraph wires to tell of a pending
Cornhusker defeat
Michigan's easy victory over the
Cornhuskers not only surprised local
enthusiasts it startled them. It was
beyond their meager powers of com
prehension. "Incredible 1" excla'med one Ne
braska man who was a star at the
Lincoln school a decade ago and has
since been a close follower of the
gridiron sport at the Husker institu
tion. .
At first, gloom predominated. Ne
braska fans had expected to score a
rather easy victory over the Michigan
foe. The last time the Huskers
played the Wolverines a Nebraska
eleven far weaker than Stewart's team
held an eleven more powerful than
Yost's crew this year to a 6 to 6 t'e.
Why, then, should the Cornhuskers
.ail so utterly this year, was tne in
evitable question.
" Turns to Wrath.
Unable to answer satisfactorily, the
gloom of the fans slowly turned to
wrath and many were the angry ex
clamations of disgust heard among
Umaha tans last night.
Doc Stewart, the Cornhusker c"oach,
came in for a good share of the criti
cism. Stewart was a marked man
when the current season opened
ow'ng to his failure last year. Many
Nebraska followers attributed Ne
braska's poor showing last year to
Stewart, but final judgment was de
layed until this fall when it was known
the Cornhusker school would have the
best talent in years.
Some criticism of Stewart was
heard after the Notre Dame game,
when he flirted with fate by keeping
McMahon and Kellogg under cover.
Last night the climax came. '
Team of Stars.
The Nebraska eleven this year 'n
the point of talent is the greatest Ne
braska ever had Excepting, perhaps,
Guy Chamberlain, Nebraska never
had a backfield man superior to either
McMahon, Schellcnberg or Dobson,
and in the Iowa game at least, Kel
logg looked just as good as any that
ever wore the scarlet and cream.
In the line Rhodes and Hubka are
as good wingmen as ever dug spikes
into Nebraska field and Halligan is
about the only lineman who can cla'm
superiority to Shaw and Kositsky.
Alibis, t o doubt, will be plentiful
when the Cornhusker9 return home,
but there will be no receptive ears in
Omaha. Before the Huskers left for
Ann Arbor wholesale reports of in
juries to Nebraska players were cir
mlatpH hut tliev ivprp treated as hear
dope' by the majority and a few o(
the susp'cious even classified them as
"advance alibis."
To sum it all up, yesterday's result
was wholly dissatisfactory to Omaha
foot ball fans who have followed the
Cornhuskers and they refuse to be
convinced Michigan was the better
team.

CIC0TTE TELLS
REASON FOR HIS
GREATjUCCESS
Fussed About the Majors for
, Ten Years and Then Went to
Work, White Sox Star
Says of Himself.
"I fussed about in the major leagues
for 10 years and then I went to
work."
That is the way Ed Cicottc of the
Chicago White Sox explains his' sud
den and unexpected blossoming forth
as the leading hurler of the great
American league. -
To prove this he displays a well
worn belt. This handy article of ap
parel he has used for three years.
Away over toward the fag end there
is a hole in which the buckle was in
serted in 1915 and 1916. Now there
is a hole four inches toward the other
end. This is the place where he now
wears the buckle.
"I am proud of this belt," Cicotte
says. "It shows the difference be
tween a pitcher who could work six
or seven innings in style and a man
who can go the route.
"I used to joke I did not take
base ball seriously. Finally I came
to the conclusion, that if I wished to
be a really good pitcher I must train
harder than 1 ever trained uefore. I
am now at the age when one becomes
fat. This spring I went to' work. I
hustled. I pitched often. I did every
thing tfiat one could do to make him
self more proficient. The results of
this kind of living are apparent in my
record.
"I have long been a firm believer
that no ball player is better than his
record in the book andI am willing
to stand on what has been recorded.
The fans of Chica&o were exceedingly
kind to me when I just went along,
and they have been wonderful since I
commenced to win."
People in the east have said that he
is 40 years old. Maybe he is. He has
yet to announce his age. But the fact
remains that he came ba c
expectedly. He has done
that no other hurler in the .
the great national pastime
comolished. The reason ij
pressed in his own words:
"I went to work."
They accused him of using the
"shine ball,"and he did not complain.
He did rub the apple on his trousers.
And the hostiles did talk about it.
They not only talked they shouted.
Cicotte went on his merry way. He
did not complain when over-zealous
umpires examined the ball at the be
hest of indignant batsmen past whom
it had been cast. He just grinned.
After the season was well conclud
ed it was'discovered that Cicotte and
the "shine ball" were as far apart as
day is from night. There wats no such
thing.
"What do you think I wanted to go
out and crab it for?" Cicotte asked.
"If they think I have a 'shine ball,'
so much the better. Then I got them
beat coming in. They are worried
every time I rub the ball on my pants.
Let them worry."
As a matter of fact, Cicotte's strong
right arm could propel the ball past
the batsmen in an astonishing way.
That is why he won. It is one of the
best known principles in base ball
that control is the big thing.' He has
it. He is fast. He bluffs a spitter and
then doesn't throw it.
In a word, Ed Cicotte's system has
been to let the other fellow worry
which has been done plentifully.
White Sox and Giants May
Play Spring Exhibitions
The question of the, White Sox and
Giants playing a series of games nxt
spring as they wend their way home
from their respective training carnps
has been broached. It has gone no
further than that, but may take on
more definite form. The Giants
train at Marlin, Tex., and the Sox at
Mineral Wells, near by, and such a
trip would be feasible. It has a pre
cedent. The Ked Sox and Brook
lyns, respective champions last spring,
battled on their way north in a series
of exhibition games. It was at one
time intended to bring the Giants and
Detroits north together for a second
time, but the scraps which broke out
between the rivals last spring: knocked
I those arrangements sky high.
