CENTRAL PLANS
FOR LINCOLN GAME
i
Mulligan's Men Go Through
Special Practice in Prepara
tion for Clash for the
State Title.
Sport Calendar Touay
Tickets to Central High school foot
ball games will not be subject to the
federal tax of 10 per cent. This was
decided at a conference of the athletic
board with the federal collector of
internal revenue. Amusements whose
proceeds go exclusively to an educa
tional fund are not subject to the tax,
the collector decided.
Coacft Mulligan is putting his play
ers through special practice on the
i field at Thirty-second and Dewey.
AH the players, save two, have cleared
the eligibility hurdle and prospects
seem bright for the game with Lincoln
Friday. f "Remember 56" is Omaha's
slogan since they hope lo make up the
56 points, the margin' Itincoln . has
marked up in the last three years. A
mass meeting will be held Wednes
day morning at which (Coach Mul
ligan, Coach Mills of Crcighton, and
Warren Howard will speak.
The game Friday will be at Crcigh
ton field and will start at 2:45. It will
be preceded by a game between the
two second teams which will start at
1:30.
Due to the fact that the game will
be the best played between the rivals
for several years and that the Lincoln
schools will have vacation due to the
state teachers' convention, the crowd
is expected to be the largest of the
season. 'Plans are being made to have
it be a home coming game for the
alumni.

that pro-German agencies are at work

The menace takes the form ot acci

The regularity with which they have
occurred, however, convinces officials
nere tnat a aenniie saootage cam

Through Stiff Practice in
Preparation for North
Dakota Eleven.
Coach TommyM ills allowed his
Blue and WlfTO grid squad only one
day of rest after cleaning Nebraska
Weslcyan last Saturday and last night
had his full team out 'giving them
a final polish at tackling the dummy,
and snappy signal practice.
Captain Morgan says that when
Creighton . meets the Flickertails
from North Dakota next Saturday
the Blue and White eleven will be in
the pink of conditiono and prepared
to take the Dakotan to a bigg trim
ming. N
With Walter Hull back in the reg
ular lineup on cud and Charley Payne
in his old position at guard, the
chances. for showing the Flickertails
a goose egg look bright for Mills'
crew. Walter broke into the game
for a few moments Saturday and his
brilliant performance during even the
short period of time he was In, sat
isfied "the Blue" and White enthusi
asts th;(t the diminutive end hail lost
houe of his ability to stop anibitious
backs of the enemy from venturing
around his side of the line.
The redoubtable "Spec" Campbell
is- playing a hard, consistent game at
the other wing position and with
Morgan add Coyne at tackles, Payne
and Jones at guards and Brcry at
center, Mills is satisfied that he has
a line that will easily take care of any
team that it will meet this season.
Kelly at quarter is, of course, a
fixture and the backfield is working
together in ine style. The Blue and
White supporters have a backfield
that they are justly proud of. Mull
holland, Harmony and Leahy with'
Morearty and Moonan in reserve
compose the best scoring machine
that has represented Crcighton in
some years. ,
