Coach Mills' hopes of building up an unbeatable foot ball machine soared sky high last night with the appearance of Walter Hull in mole skins. Hull, who is built close to the ground, but makes up in breadth what he lacks in height, will be remem bered as the diminutive end of last year who gobbled up everything that came his way. A star on the YVes leyan squad before he came to Creigh ton, Hull rapidly developed into one of the best ends that ever donned a Blue and White uniform. Hull, who attended the Creighton J)ental school, was caught in the first draft and was down at Camp Funston when the order came to release all medical and dental students who de sired it. So Hull remembered his old love of the game and the first day he was back reported himself ready to jump into the game. He has been keeping himself in condition, and will in all probability appear in the Creighton lineup against Nebraska Wesleyan on next Saturday. The Creighton mentor is confident that his squad will have a complete walkaway with Kline's eleven, but is rot relaxing his efforts one bit to per fect a machine that will score de. cisive victories over the remaining four teams on the Blue and White schedule this season. long Tom' Hatpin's Career As Runner Is at ansEnd tong Tom" Halpin is through running. , CVe of the most remarkable all rom4 runners that ever wore the em blem of the Boston Athletic associa tion has run his last race, unless all of the signs point wrongly. Hatpin's retirement from athletic competition is not one of these come-back affairs. Lonf Tom likes the game as well as In ever did. Were it not for increas ing weight, together with the gradual breaking down of the great legs that have carried him to hundreds of triumphs on the cinder path, the B. A. A. flier would continue for at least two more seasons. Halpin's leg trouble started at Ne wark about a year ago when he won the national quarter-mile champion ship from Ted Meredith. In that meet Tom pulled one of his tendons, and he h i really never been the same since. Then last winter Tom started to pick up weight fast. Early last spring he weighed 195 pounds in his track suit. Tom started to train again, and for a time looked to be as good as ever, but with steady training the leg trouble returned. It cul minated in a complete breakdown on the part of the speedy New Eng lander at the N. E. A. A. U. cham pionships last month. Evans and Maxwell Land Four-Ball Golf Match Philadelphia. Oct. 29.-Charlcs Evans, national open and amateur champion, and Norman H.

SYRACUSE DATED FOR NEXT 3 YEARS Athletic Director Stewart Signs Husky Eastern Team for Thanksgiving Day Contest Two Years More. Lincoln, Oct. 30. (Special Tele gram.) Nebraska's turkey dinner game during the next three years will be Syracuse, Dr. E. J. Stewart an nounced today, affile Husker mentor said he had signed a three-year con tract with Syracuse university to play in Lincoln on Thanksgiving day, with an option of extending it to include 1920 and 1921. The Nebraska management was of fered a five-year contract when it ar ranged the Thanksgiving day game with Syracuse last fall. A $5,000 guar anty met with favor from the Syra cuse management and at the same time Nebraska is assured of a strong turkey day date" Notre Dame again will appear on the Nebraska schedule, Dr. Stewart said, early in the season of 1918. Kid Koster Is Out for the Bantamweight Boxing Title Not satisfied with holding one ring title the bantamweight champion shipthe Crescent City is grooming another title prospect, and fistic fol lowers say all this one needs to bring another crown to New Orleans is the chance. It is on the featherweight title that the local colony now has its eve. Their candidate is Henry ("Kid") Koster, one of the roughest and toughest boys ever turned out of that city. Koster is little known outside of his home town, making practically all of his fights here. He has been setting the pace for the local boys by running rough shod over his op- Eonents. His last victory was over ick Loadman in twenty rounds. He weighed 120 pounds ringside and gave away five pounds. He beat Loadman decisively and had him on the verge of a knockout several times. Johii( Abrams, who has taken over Koster's management, is trying to get Johnny Kilbane in a champion ship match wtih his protege.

Britton Doffs His Hat To Champion Ben Leonard Jack Britton, former welterweight champion, thinks Benny Leonard is the best lightweight title holder that class ever had. Here's what he re marked after their recejit meeting in New York: "I nevei was hit so hard and so often before, and with both hands. Leonard is without question the greatest little man I ever met. I don't see how they are going to beat him and they won't so long as he lives that 'early to bed, early to rise life. He's a great boy, and tell them Jack Britton, a bigger man, said so." Mediocre Pacer Cleans Up Owing to Poor Competition The largest money winning pacer of the season is Ben Ali (2:03J4). He was named in the Grand Circuit paces and as the class of the fields in those events hardly was up to the standard of recent years the big, plain-looking gelding got money with miles that ordinarily would not have sufficed for a winner.

Fred Mitchell, manager of the Cubs during the season jut closed, left for his home in Allston, Mass., praising Chicago and Chicago fans Mitch has much to be thankful for and nobody realizes it any better than himself, among other things being a two-year contract as Bruin boss, with' another year to run. The "other year" is his life saver, and it is up to him to make good. Instead of "Right Eye," as he was called when acting as assistant manager of the Boston Braves in their pennant-winning season, Mitch earned the title of "luck guy" in 1917, for he made good by finishing in the second division. His predecessor, Joe Tinker, was considered a failure and fired because he cduldn't place his athletes among the big four. Makes "Rep" in Spring. Winning 10 games in a row and leading the National league for a few hours made Mitchell, even though he did stumble toward the finish. This was early in the season, before the other National league clubs hit their stride. It was during this winning jaunt that Mitchell earned his spurs: in fact, "Miracle Man" was taken from George Stallings and hung on the new hrum leader. Tinker had no such luck the year before, and the fact that he kept his athletes playing steady ball through out the season made no difference when the stockholders met: neither was it considered that he was pilot ing a mrnor league ball club. Next year will brine the well known acid test for Mitchell, for re sults at the end of the race will count instead of lucky spurts. Unless he pushes his club into the pennant fmht a feat that is impossible with his present lineup the 1917 Hot Stove league will open by picking a new manager for the Cubs. ; Tinker's Fate Recalled. That was Tinker's fate last year, and previous showings did not count. He lost the first Federal league pen nant by one game for the North Side owners; won the second and finished fifth in his debut at the head of the Cubs in the National league. The "lay of the land" right now as regards Mitchell's future is far from bright. The Giants appear to have a strangle hold on the 1918 flag, for they ought to cop next sea son as easily as last. Service Elevens Hope to Battle mi n This Season All West Point is hoping for an Army-Navy game. All Annapolis is hoping for the same thing. The latest official word in regard to the big event of the foot ball sea son was that the game would be off this year. Accepting official runngs in goou grace is one 01 me duties of persons in both arms of the service, and this ruling, disap pointing though it must have been, was taken in the usual way. There was no complaint from either An napolis or West. Point, no tendency to protest against the order. The officials took the usual stand that there was nothing more to be said or done. The Army-Navy game was off. However, the belief persists in both West Point and Annapolis that a game will be played. Each coach is shaping his campaign so as to be ready for a game if word is flashed later in the season that the ban has been lifted. Before the war brought about the cancellation 6f the foot ball schedules at both West Foint and Annapolis a decision had been reached to play the annual game at the Polo grounds on November 24. When the order against foot ball at the service schools was rescinded new schedules were arranged, but with November 24 open. Neither of these rivals has arranged a ame for. this date, which each is hold ing open for the other, and it is un derstood that no other teams can get the Polo grounds for this date except with the understanding that it must be surrendered in the event of an Army-Navy game.

W. Chamberlain Charged With Killing His Brother in Virginia Highlands. Richmond, Va., Oct. 30. Dr. Asa W. Chamberlain, 63-year-old retired physician, held in jail here for safe keeping, and charged by Goochland county authorities with the murder of his 65-year-old brother, Judge Al bert P. Chamberlain, seemed to be in a daze today and refused to talk about the charge against him other than to reiterate his innocence. Coming from Iowa three years ago, the Chamberlains settled on a farm in the remote highlands north of the James river. Dr. Chamberlain came from Webster, la., and Judge Cham berlain came from Des Moines. The finding of Albert Chamberlain's body, horribly mutilated, showing that he probably had been attacked with a stick, then choked to death and his body dissected, so aroused the Vir ginians that Dr. Chamberlain was not considered safe in Goochland county jail and was brought here. A quarrel over $1,200, which Dr. Chamberlain owed his brother on a division of their property, the author ities say, was the cause of the murder. A dog pawing in the ground uncov ered the gruesome evidence . which disclosed the crime. Searchers were attracted to the burial place by the dare's strange ac tions, and when some one thrust a stick into the earth a nauseating odor became perceptible. A mall bit of cloth was observet. clinging to the stick. The party unearthed the torso of a human being. Thereupon the farmers searched the Chamberlain farm. Nothing finally was left but the fence posts and then each of these was pulled up. In the first hole the head, an arm, heart and liver were found. In other holes another arm or limb or other sections of the body was re covered. The -vholc body, in pieces, was eventually found. Exchange to Aid Brokers Who Are Long on Stocks Montreal, Oct. 30. As a measure to prevent brokers from being forced into liquidation on account of the recent weak markets the Montreal stock exchange decided this morn ing to revert to the minimum price system which was in use for a time when the exchange reopened after closing or. account of the war. The exchange opened today one hour later than usual. The failure of tin exchange to open at the usual hour today gave rise to reports that brokers with heavy hold ings were confronted with ruin. It was officially stated, however, that none of these brokers is actually on the brink of failure. Toronto, Oct. 30. On receiving the news that the Montreal stock ex change had not opened this morning at the usual hour members of the Toronto stock exchange took a re cess from trading for a half hour, be ginning at 10:50 a. m. During that period they held a meeting to discuss the situation. Five New Banks Receive Charter in South Dakota Pierre, S. D., Oct. 30. (Special.)

LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE SHOWS STATE'S HAND N Nebraska Accepts Enemy's Challenge and Makes Great Record in Campaign for Patriotic Dollars. A $50 Liberty bond for every man, woman and child in Omaha; a Liberty bond for every other man, woman and child in the state; five and one-half Liberty bonds for every family in Omaha and two and a fraction Liberty bonds for every family in the state. That's the answer of Nebraska and Omaha to the kaiser when the smoke of the second Liberty loan drive has cleared away. Though unofficial, the answer is enough to let the kaiser know that Ne braska is in the battle to the finish. It has accepted the challenge to fight it out to the fiinish. And Nebraska is giving of its money, of its products, of its men, and of its strength. Moreover, the grand com monwealth is pledging itself, 90 per cent strong, to conserve food, to sub stitute food, and to add in every way, its might in winning the great war for democracy. More Than Quotas. The answer of 27 counties, the ban ner counties of the state, and the hon or counties in the Liberty loan drive, was their quota and more. These 27 counties either raised their total, or in the foreground. The honor roll is: in the foreground. The honor role is: Blaine, Boone. Burt, Butler Cass, Cedar, Cuming, Dakota, Dodge, Doug las, Fillmore, Hall, Hitchcock, Kear ney, Madison, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee. Lancaster, Knox, Polk, Saunders, Scottsbluff, Seward, Stanton, Thurs ton and York. Douglas and Lancaster, with their big cities, naturally led in oversub scriptions, but Otoe with $25,000 oyer made the pace for the other counties. Nemaha and C dar gave big over subscriptions, while Cuming, inadvert ently reported as being under, went over its minimum with a subscription of $376,200 or $18,200 more than its apportionment. Official figures, available after No vember 1, may show other counties reaching their minimum. Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success.
