Jayhawkers Score First in Game With Field Goal When
They Crumble and Cook and Hubka Cross Goal
for Two Touchdowns That Cinch Hon
ors for Scarlet and Cream.
(
15 minutes, 500 Kaysee fans evidently
wishing to delay departure to the
arid state of Kansas until the last
minute, started for Lawrence 30 min
utes late so the accommodating Jay
hawk officials held up the opening of
hostilities until the tardy ones ar
rived. Kansas won the toss and chose to
defend the west goal.
Munn was sent into the game to
kick-off. His boot to Nielson went
to Kansas' 15-yard line and Foster
promptly punted. Cook ran the pig
skin to the center of the field.
Huskers Step Out.
The Huskes.. however, could not
penetrate the Kansas line and Dob
son kicked. Foster came right back
with another punt and the ball was
back in the middle of the field in Ne
braska's possession.
The Cornhuskers decided to step
out a little so Dobson and Sschellen-
berg tore off an eight-yard forward
pass and Hubka .hit the line for first
downs Schellenberg, Hubka and Dob
son followed with three charges
through the" line, which netted first
downs again and put the ball on Kan
sas' 25-yard line.
. . Riddell Injured.
The Huskers would go no farther,
however, and lost the ball and also
the services of George Riddell. Rid
dell was thrown by a hard tackle and
his leg crackedl .
. Otoupa!ik was sent into' the game
to take Hubka's place at full and
Hubka returned to his regular Job
at end.'
Kansas had the ball, but realized
it could do nothing with it, and Foster
was called upon to punt. Disaster
almost overcame- the Huskers here.
.. Forward. . ?m Fails. .
' Otoupalik fumbled in midfield and
Hull, Jayhawk center, irecoyered the.
(ball. Ruble threw a scare into Husker
ij-anks with a sensational 25-yar$ run
'around right end.
v. Kansas tried to score with a for-
.iward pass, but the throw fell to tjie
Aground off the line and the Huckers'
bacon was saved. Dobson booted out
Nof danger with a punt which carried
i 'to the Kansas 25-yard line. The first
quarter.ended with the Ball in K. U.'s
possession.
Kansas .punted to open the second
period and Nebraska tried to kick
right'back, but Dobson's punt was
partly blocked by a rude Jayhawk
. and Kansas got the ball on the Husk
ers' 38-yard line. That's all the good
it did them, as they failed to gain
and Nebraska ot the ball on downs
on its own 35-yard mark.
Jayhawk Line Gets Busy.
Nebraska's attack at this point was
nothing o brag about. Schellenberg
made an eight-yard gain, but his
mates couldn't make the other two
in three attempts, so the ball -was
given to Kansas on Nebraska's 40
yard line.
Kansas got its line plungers into
action and began to rip holes in the
Husker wall. Nielson, Pringle and
'Ruble went through for long gains.
The Jayhawk rush was stopped at the
20,-yard.line and a touchdown avert
ed, but the Huskers failed to reckon
on Mr. Longborg's trusty toe. Stand
ing on the 25-yard line, he , booted a
perfect place kick squarely over the
goat posts.
Kansas. 3; Nebraska, 0.
Kansas Makes Gain. ,
After the field goal Kansas kicked
off to Nebraska. Cook ran the bait
to his own 33-yard line. Dobson
punted and Kansas showed the Husk
ers how to gain on a fumble. Fos
ter dropped the oval on Kansas' 30
yard line and Mr. Lbngborg recov
ered on Kansas' 40-yard line. Very
neat.
Neilson, Ruble and Neilson ;n three
lin echarges" made first downs, but
the referee took it back with five
yards to boot by slapping a 15-yard
penalty on the Jayhawk crew.
Foster punted to Nebraska's 28
yard line. Dobson in two off tackle
attacks made first down for the Husk
ers. The half ended with the ball in Ne
braska's possession, on the 38-yard
mark and the score, Kansas 3, Ne
braska 0.
Cook Makes Touchdown.
After an exchange of punts. Kan
sa? held the ball on Nebraska's 38-
yard line. Failing to gain, Kansas
punted over Nebraska's line. Dod
son punted, Foster returning it. Ne
braska completed a 20-yard forward
pass and followed short gains, Cook
dashed around right end for 35 yards
and touchdown. Shaw kicked goal.
Nebraska then began a march down
the field, Hubka going over for the
second touchdown. Shaw missed a
goal.
Kansas failed on three straight at
tempts at forward passes and punted.
Several punts were exchanged without
gain. Kansas tried passing again and
gained 15 yards on an incompleted
pass. Pringle broke away for 20
yards around left end. From then
to the last whistle both lines held
stubbornly. '

Gibbons and McFarland May Box
in Omaha for Army Athletic Fund
Omaha may be treated to a four-round boxing match between Mike
Gibbons and Packey McFarland, if plans of Gene Melady and Carl Mar
fisi of this city do not go astray.
Gibbons and McFarland are in the service of Uncle Sam at Camps
Dodge and McArthur, respectively. They have agreed to box four rounds
for the benefit of the athletic funds of the cantonments at which they are
stationed.
Chicago is making a bid for the event. Gene Melady is now in Chicago
and he wires Carl Marfisi in Omaha that he has a chance to land the show
for Omaha. If given assurance that Omaha would patronixe the event as
it should, Melady says he believes he can land the bout for the Gate City.
Marfisi suggest the bout might be held here the night of December 1.
On that day the Camp Funston and Camp Dodge foot ball elevens
will clash in Omaha and if the proposed Gibbons-McFarland bout could
be held here that night, December 1 would be one gala day of patriotic
6port events 5m pmah,

Washington and Lee Beaten,
63 to 0, Yet Coach Says
Tech Players Not Best
in Country.
This is a foot ball yarn based on
mathematics, so just keep these
scores in mind: Georgia Tech, 41;
Pennsylvania, 0; Georgia Tech, 63;
Washington and Lee, 0; Pittsburgh,
14; Pennsylvania, 6.
In view of the above results there
is considerable body of foot ball fol
lowers which is inclined to rank
Georgia Tech as the best eleven there
is. Folwell, the Penn coach, said
Georgia Tech was the best team, and
Everett Strupper, of Tech, was nhe
greatest back in the country. Now
listen to this from Raftery. coach at
Washington and Lee, and remember
that 63 to 0, too:
"Georgia Tech is not as good as
you think it is and the victory over
Pennsylvania was scored because the
Red and Blue was not prepared.
Pennsylvania came down without any
practice 'to speak of and showed it.
Tech, on the other hand, worked hard
for the game and was in wonderful
shape. Strupper is a good halfback,
but hardly all-American timber. Guy
on, to me, is their best bet and is, I
believe, good enough to play on any
foot ball team in the world.
"Pittsburgh, West Virginia. Wash
ington and Jefferson, the Army and
Navy can put it all over Tech right
now, although I must confess they
have the best team in the South.
"The reason Georgia is so strong
this year is because all of the other
colleges have sent their men to the
military camps. We lost fourteen
letter men and I am proud of it. I
m Sorry that they didn't accept me.
Georgia would have a hard time with
Pennsylvania now, and if they ever
meet Pittsburgh good night."
WAR TAX HITS
ALL SPORTSMEN;
BLOW TO GOLF
The -new war tax is going to
alight with great emphasis upon the
country clubs, and is destined to bite
deeply into the golf club profession
als. So far as the club members are
concerned the imposition of a tax of
10 per cent upon a year's dues will
mean in many cases hereabouts that
$15 to $20 a year will have to be
tacked onto the yearly charges.-
In virtually every case it is antici
pated that the club will pass this
charge along to the members. As ev
erything else in connection with golf
and tennis has climbed up into the
sky, it is considered more than likely
that many will have to forego sports
or practice them in moderation.
So far as the professional of the
club is concerned the law says that
all kinds of equipment, the list being
enumerated, must be charged 3 per
cent of th j price for which it was sold.
Add to this the fact that per cent
tax is imposed upon all stock on hand,
and the burden begins to press. For
instance, many golf professionals, who
handle the sale of balls, and the sale
and repair of golf clubs, have stock on
hand as high as $1,000 or even more.
Truly war is making some sweeping
changes in sports.
Bellevue College Closes
Foot Ball Year
Bellevue college closed a gameless
foot ball season Friday, when by ac
tion of the athletic board of control
foot ball practice for the season was
given over in favor of basket ball.
A Thansgiving day jrame with
the Wayne normal was to have closed
the season, but cancellation this week
on the part of Wayne rendered nec
essary the action on the part of the
athletic board.
Considerable new basket ball mate
rial has encouraged Coach Reel and
the college to hope for a very credit
able showing in basket ball this win
ter. Practice in the new evmnasium
has already begun. Bellevue possesses
one of the best playing floor in the
state.

Ross Young will be the favorite for

McGraw says Young's place is in the

the infield by Rochester last season.
He is fast, has a great throwing arm,

Deal About to Be Pulled
Business Manager Quinn hints at a
big deal that the St. Louis Browns
expect to pull off at the coming
American league meeting. A guess is
that as a result of the deal at least
one present Brown will become a Red
Sox player and that possibly two
members of the Boston team will next
year wear St Louis uniforms.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 17. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Bv defeating Sioux
Falls High 38 to 7, Omaha Central
High school today won the high
school championship of Iowa, Neb
raska and South Dakota on the local
grounds.
Sioux Falls could do little against
its opponents, Omaha being heavier
ana speeaier.
Omaha, especially during the first
half, was able to go through the
Sioux Falls line almost at will. At
the end of the first half Sioux Falls
tightened up and for some minutes
showed its old speed and ability to
hold than at any other time during
me game.
o: T,, i .
oioux rails on v score came late in
the third period, when Omaha, after
having made a long run for a teuch-
aown, kicked oft to Sioux Falls. It
was at this time that Sioux Falls
really got back into its old style and
was able to drive through the line
for a good gain of five or six yards
ana yaras gamed around right end.
For an offside play, Omaha was
penalized IS yards which put Sioux
rails on the lu-yard line.
After making three line drives for
one and two yards each, Sioux Falls
attempted a pass which was blocked,
the ball being in play on Sioux Falls'
tnree-yard line. Omaha punted out.
Sioux Falls returned it to the 15-yard
line.
Two attempts to go through Oma
ha's line failed completely, and Kers
lake made a clear 30-yard pass to
aenwartz over the goal line. Sioux
Falls kicked goal.
tA no later time in the game was
Sioux Falls able to come within
striking distance of the goal.
Omaha had no trouble at all in go
ing through Sioux Falls' line during
the remainder of the game.
By JAMES P. RUSSELL.
Creighton gridiron warriors massacred the heavier Haskell
Indian tribe from Lawrence, Kan., on Creighton field yesterday
afternoon, rushing over three touchdowns on the completely out
played Redskin team. Final score was 19 to 0. The game was
replete with thrills, with Leahy and Harmon for Creighton and
Black for the Indians giving an exhibition of foot ball that long j
will be remembered by the large crowd of enthusiastic Blue and i
White rooters.
NOTED RUNNER
EQUAL TO TEST
IN BIG BATTLE
Henri Saint Yves, the famous mar
athon runner, is a dispatch bearer in
the French army, and recently under
went an experience which forced him
to spend 10 days in the hospital from
exposure.
While trying to carry orders from
the advanced French trench line to a
French machine gun crew which had
established itself in a shell hole in the
middle of "No Man's Land," half way
between the opposing lines, Saint
Yves was "spotted" by two German
machine crews, also holding shell
holes. ,
They opened a cross fire on the
former long-distance runner and he
dropped into the nearest shell hole,
which was almost full of rain water.
Saint Yves remained in the water with
just his head above the surface to en
able him to breathe, for five hours, or
until after darkness. Then, he crept
out and made his way to the French
machine gun position, delivered the
orders to the lieutenant in charge and
made his way to the trenches again.
Saint Yves was wounded in the leg
last May, but has entirely recovered
from that, and asserts he will be able
to run as well as ever if the war ever
ends and he gets back into civilian
life.
Cairns and Wardwell of

Athletic Director Cairns and C. T,

of Jrank Gulgard, who is in the army
Principal Masters has sought men
teachers to fill the vacancies, but
having little success. He is determined
to have the places filled by men and
men only to prevent the masculine
element of the faculty from being
entirely eclipsed by the women.
Brown Wallops Colby,
Scoring 19 Against 7
Providence, R. I., Nov. 17. Brown
defeated Colby, 19 to 7, today. The
Maine team opened an aerial attack
that Kept Brown on the defensive
much of the time in the last half of
the game. Colby's score came at the
opening of the fourth period after an
illegal tackle had brought a penalty
to Brown, placing the ball on its one
yard line and in Colby's possession.
Well, Well, Stallings
Is Blue Ribbon Winner
Geortre Stalliners has found some
thing to be happy over, in spite of the
poor showing of his Braves. At a live
stock show in Georgia he took two
first prizes with the cattle he ex
hibited from his farm near Haddocks
and he was highly complimented on
his exhibit by stock men from far
and near.
STAR OF FIRST ORDER. ,
Leahy was easily the bright star of
the game for Creighton. The big full
back's brilliant punting was a joyful
surprise to the enthusiasts of the
school up on the hill. His boots were
long and high and enabled his ends
to race down and get under the ball,
and down a Redman in his tracks.
This was invariable throughout the
game and the yards gained by the in
terchange of punts counted materially
in keeping the ball in Haskell terri
tory. LONG RUN THRILLS.
The speed and distance for which he
returned Black's kicks brought the
stands to their feet numbers of times.
Leahy played a fierce line-plunging
game and advanced the ball when
ever called upon to carry it His most
spectacular performance came in the
third quarter when he intercepted s
forward pass and raced 45 yards for
a touchdown. He followed this up
with two more dashes of 45 yards
each.
To make Leahy's stellar ehibition
more notworthy, unknown to himself,
he played through the whole game
with a broken hand. In the game
against South akota last Saturday he
broke his right hand and had an
X-ray taken of it Friday after it had
caused him considerable pain all week.
When he went into the game he was
unaware of the results of the X-ray.
Harmon Quick and Sure.
Closely rivalling Leahy, were Har
mon, Mullholland and Moonan. Har
mon is Mill's new find at quarter
back and the wonder is that he has
not been there all season. He was
quick and sure and ran his team like
a seasoned veteran. Harmon's direct
contribution to the scoring end came
in the last quarter. The doughty
little quarterback intercepted an
Indian pass on his 30-yard line and
raced through the entire Haskell
team for 70 yards and over the line.
At one time or another in the course
of his travels down the field seven
Indians dove fruitlessly at his heels.
the shifty pilot dodging them all.
Gains Much Ground.
Mullholland and Moonan played
the halves and were the most con
sistent fround-gainers of the day.
Both took the ball through the line
time after time for five and ten yards
at a stretch and it was partly due to
their tackling and support of the line
that the Indians were tatally unable
to penetrate the Creighton line.
Dependable Tom Berry at center
also played the game of his life. He
completely outfought his husky op
ponent at the center of the line, and
it was he who brought the ball over
Haskell's goal line for the first score
of the game, on a pass from Mull
holland.
Hull, Coyne, Morgan, Emery, Hea
ley and Kolda all found a place in
the hearts of Blue and White follow
ers yesterday.
Black Star for Reds.
For the Indians, Captain Black
was the particular shining light. But
Evans, the widely heralded left end,
almost gave the Omaha rooters heart
failure when he grabbed the ball on
Leahy9 kickoff in the third quarter
and sprinted down the gridiron with
the ball safely tucked under his arm.
Speedy Harmon camped right on his
trail for 60 yards and picked up the
scent on Creighton's 10-yard line,
downing him on the eight-yard line.
That was mostly all for Evans, with
the exception of a few times when
he completed some of Black's heaves
when the Indians resorted to the
aerial game.
All Over at Start.
Creighton outclassed Haskell en
tirety in the first half. During this
period Haskell had the ball in Creigh
ton's territory once, and for a few
moments only. J hey also made
downs once during the first half.
Creighton, on the other hand, had the
Indians on the defensive during most
of the time, with the oval in their
possessions always within the shadow
ot the Redskins' goal post.
Haskell won the toss and chose to
defend the south goal. Otipoby was
slow in getting away on the return
trip and he was downed on his 10
yard line by Hull. W. Murdock at
fullback and B. Murdock at right half
failed to make anything and Black
was forced to punt. Leahy, returned
the pigskin to Haskell's 40-yard line.
and Creighton began the march.
Moonan went through left tackle for
five yards, Mully for three and Har
mon dashed around left end for IS
more. AlullholJand, Leahy and Har
mon made small gains and on the
fourth down Leahy attempted a field
goal, but failed.
Reds Fall Down.

First Score Counts.
In the second quarter after MoonanN
made two yards, a nicely-executedl
forward pass from Mullholland toy
Berry netted the first score of the:
game. Hull kicked out and Leahy;
promptly booted the oval ovor th(
bars. Pandemonium reigned amonsj
the madly cheering spectators. r
The Indians then attempted a rally,
but it failed and the half ended with
the ball in Creighton's possession,, in
Haskell territory.
Creighton received the ball on the
kick-off and Leahy tore back for 30
yards with the ball. The Blue and
White team was held and Leahy
punted to McLemore. Hull raced,
down under the nicely-timed kick and'
downed the quarterback in his tracks,'
only four yards from goal. Black im-j
mediately booted out of danger. The:
Blue and White squad worked the'
pigskin down the field and. Leahyj
again attempted a field goal, but the
oval flew wide of the posts. , . " ,
Indians Stand Firm. '
'Berry intercepted one of Murdoch's
flips over the line of scrimmage, and
passed up two white lines in his jaunt
toward the Kedman s goal, iiut tne
Indians were fighting bitterly and re
fused to yield an inch. Having per
ceived that they could make no head
way through the line or around the
ends the Aborigines opened up with
their deceptive aerial game and at
first it succeeded. But the Blue and
White warriors were on their mettle,
and their superior playing could not
be combated. They soon solved the
air attack and put an end to the en
emy's hopes in that department of
the game. The principal cause of
their returning mostly, to straight
foot ball, with only an occasional
heave to exercise Murdock's arm, was
Leahy. That worthy gobbled up an
Indian flip and hustled 45 yards fpr
the second score of the game.
Harmon Saves Day.
It was then that Evans gave, the
Blue and White rooters that almost
fatal scare by sprinting through the
whole Creighton squad on receiving
Leahy's kick-off. Harmon saved the
day for Creighton by tackling him
from behind after a long pursuit, and
kept the Omaha eleven's slate clean.
In the fourth quarter both teams
were still going at fop-notch speed.
The honors were all Creighton's.
Haskell was outfought, outplayed,
outclassed in every department of
the game. But it cannot be said of
them that they failed to show fight
ing spirit during, the game.: At' the
sound of the final whistle they were
striving desperately as when they had
commenced. ,
Makes Brilliant Run.
Harmon opened the fourth quarter
with a beautiful dash, on an inter
cepted forward pass of 70 yards
through a broken field. When he
came to a stop he and the battle
scarred pikskin were resting comfort
ably beneath Haskill's goal posts.
Leahy's kick failed to go over the
bars.
When the ball came into play again
Creighton held the Redskins for
downs. Coach Lubo pulled a "bone- 1
head" bv sending Cooper in to sub- ,f
stitute for Eagle, afjer Cooper had
been taken out in the same quarter. ,
and the result was 15 yards penalty
for the visitors. "
In the last few minutes of play '
Leahy made a spectacular wind-up '
of his stellar Activities on the gridiron
by returning another one of Black's ,
unfortunate punts for 50 yards tQ
