THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: KOTEMBER - 25, 1917. NORTHWESTERN ELEVEN TAKES MICHIGAN TO TRIMMING 12 A -i .. ' 4 Yost's Men Again Given a Sound and Decisive Licking Evanston Lightweigths Startle Big Ten Followers by Taking Husky Wolverines Into Camp 21 to 12; One of Michigan's Touchdowns Is Fluke; 17,000 See Game. Chicago, Not. 24. Michigan played its first game in the western conference in 12 years today, and the result was the biggest surprise of the season. The light, speedy Northwestern tf am, outweighed nearly iu pounds to a man, downed tne woi verines, 21 to 12, in a game that thrilled l,uuu spectators. NnrtWmtern took the field withY the exectations of being buried under a top-heavy srore, as Michigan had lost only one 'game this season and. beaten Nebraska and other powerful teams of the west. But after the first five minutes of play there was no doubt of Northwestern's superiority. The Evanston squad outplayed the Wolverines in every department. Each of Northwestern's three touch downs were earned, while one of Michigan's was a fluke and the op portunity for the game was afforded bv oenalties: bummary: NOBTHWE8T. Marqoard ....

" ' Leonard Loses Big Chance by Failure To Kayo J, Britton When Benny Leonard failed to stop Jack Britton in their recent bout he lost a grand opportunity to convince the doubting ones as to whether he is as great a lightweight champion as eome bf the others that preceded him. If Britton had opened up and fought toe-to-toe eLonard might have brought him down, but when the bigger man covered up the smaller man could do nothing with him. J The critical ones do not accept this as an adequate excuse, however. They ay that if Kid Lavigne or Terry Mc Govern had been there with Button that night, his attempts to coyer up would not have saved lnra. McGov trn would havft stood , in close and whaled away until something dropped ind Lavigne would have done the tame thing, say the admirers ot the Warn ih4t nr cmne. . Leonard's answer to this sort of criticism is that he is not that kind of, a fighter.: Instead of beating his man down by main strength and ag gressiveness he uses more finesse. Leonard asserts that he tried to make Brittdn open up by backing away from him, as he realized that it would - have been foolish to risk breaking his hands on an elbow by flogging away when he had no clear mark to shoot at But Britton- was too tautious to be fooled by this maneuver and the only result wal to make Leonard look as though he was none too sure of himself. ;N ' ' Death Sentence for U.S. - v Soldier as a Deserter Washington, D. ,C, Nov. 24.-Sen-tence of death before a rifle squad has been Imposed by a court martial upon an enlisted man of the Ameri can army in the United States, on his conviction of desertion with intent to join the enemy forces. It was learned today at the War department, how ever, that officials here are not satis fied at the evidence adduced before the court that" intent to join the enemy , was established and the trial court has been asked for additional information to clear up this point The soldier in question is of either German birth or descent, it is under stood, although the details of the case, including the name of the pris oner, are withhold. . The sentence of the court martial will not be executed until approval from Washington has been received, because the desertion was not in tne face of the enemy. Dreyfuss Demands Saier . ; On General Principles President Dreyfuss of the Pirates is quoted as saying he probably will not . have use for Vic Saier next year, but that as a matter of principle he will insist on the first baseman being awarded him. Base ball law seems to be on the side of the Pittsburgh club in this case, and the scrappy Pirate magnate will acquaint the Chicago club with some of the fine points be fore he gets done. , Ames Runners Win In the Annual Meet . Chicago, Nov. 24. With a score of 42 points, the Ames (la.) college team of runners won the annual crosscoun try run of ht western conference here today. Chicago was second with 59 points, Wisconsin third with 61, Ohio State fourth with 80, and Mimic iota fifth with 87 points. Ringold, Neb.. Boy Dies in . Base Hospifal at Camp Cpdy Camp Cody, Deming, N. M., Nov. 2S. (Special.) The body of Private Irgvold Hansen, company E, 134th infantry, Fifth Nebraska, ho died in the base hospital Tuesday, of bron--o-pneumonia, has been sent to his Chicago, Nov. 24. President Ban B. Johnson, of the American leasue today declared that professional base hall confronts the most serious situa tion in its histroy next year as a re sult of conditions due to war. He says that common sense-and prudence must guide the major league base ball officials in deciding what course to pursue, in ins opinion u wouia DC the height of folly to send a club owner blindfoulded into the campaign of next season and he asks for an open and frank discussion of the sub ject in order that the wisest course may be adopted. President Johnson said: "Professional base ball confronts a serious situation and the matter of- operating leagues next summer will lie a difficult problem to solve. Con ditions such as the war have pro duced, never existed before in the life of the game and they can be met only las they come to the surface. I he American league is a unit in its desire to do the right thine which fact was amply demonstrated by its wofk last summer. "With millions of mtn to be sent to France, the man power of the na tion will be taxed to its full limit. The time does not seem opportune for play or recreatin. With that thought in, mind, it was suggested last summer we close our gates and one and all should bend a shoulder to the wheel - until the war brought to a close, i 5 . ' "This declaration did not have the approval of the administration and did not strike a popular chord in other quarters. President Wilson said he saw no reason for the curtailment of our schedules and" many of the leagues operated to the close of the season. The draft' was not in full force and none of the clubs felt its effecf. Those vho are not familiar with the workings of base ball have no conception of the delicate me chanism of a major league club. De prive a team of a single player and you might remove it from the race as a 'contender' and send it to the bot tom of the list. "Cou d the draft fall upon all clubs with equal force then some semblance of a varable "line up' might be main tained, it would ,De tne neignt ot folly to send a club owner blindfolded into the campaign of next summer. Common sense and prudence 1 must prompt us to get our bearings. This can only be brought about by an open and. frank discussion of the sub ject. If the public demands the high grade, that tact will be aeveiopea aur tng some period in. the vinttr months."

The last such game was a decade ago when the Carlisle Indians played the Huskers. , , ; Syracuse is one : of the , leading teams of the east. Wiien the sea son's records are balanced : it is prob able Syracuse will be found to oc cupy position No. 2. Pittsburgh alone ranks above the New Yorkers, and Pitt. , it must be remembered, has probably the best team in the country. Pitt Alone Superior! Syracuse has licked such . sterling opponents as Brown and Colgate and swept all before except Pitt. Nebras ka fans have long contended the. Hus kers are the equal of any eastern teams and turkey day will tell wheth er their assertions are just. " Omaha, fans believe the Huskers have an excellent chance to . defeat their eastern foe. The Michigan de feat, it has developed, was about like Minnesota's defeat at. .the hands of Wisconsin. The Huskers, too. have recovered from this temporary'" set back as their victories over Missouri and Kansas show and will go into the turkey day game with true Cornhus ker determination. A large delegation from Omaha will go to Lincoln for the game. A special train will be run over the Burlington, leaving Omaha at 12:15 and returning at 5:15. Seats for the game in the Omaha section are on sale at the Beaton Drug company. For Omaha fans who cannot go to Lincoln, Crcigliton and the Colorado School of Mines will provide the foot ball & the local lot. Mills' Men Play Miners. Creigliton originally was scheduled to plav Wyoming here on turkey day, but Wyoming ran into 'reverses, among others a beautiful 58-to-0 lac ing at the hands of the Colorado Miners. . The policy of Tommy Mills and the Creigliton athletic authori- i ties is to give Omaha fans real foot ball, even though Crcighton happens to get a trimming, so when Wyo ming's weakness was discovered, the game was promptly canceled and the Colorado Miners, who proved them selves 58 to 0 better them Wyoming, substituted. This means Omaha fans who stay at home wilt see something of a game themselves. Creighton's eleven has developed into a real university eleven as the overwhelming victory over the Haskell redskins proved. The Colorado Miners also look like the groceries, so a real combat can be expected as the windup of the blue and white's 1917 gridiron season. Central on Foreign Soil. Omaha Central High school plays its final game of the year on foreign soil. MulliKan s warriors journey St. Joseph to battle the interscholi tic chamos of that ooint. A victory for Mullgan's crew will give Omaha the Missouri N valley championship, although Des Moines is inclined to dispute that honor. The Central lads are expected to clean up on the Joetown athletes as local fans have a superb confidence in Mulli gan's coaching ability and the boys he leads into battle. All in all this final week of the 1917 gridiron season promises to be a record-breaker for gate city foot ball fans.
