BLUE AND WHITE WALLOP
MINERS BEFORE THRONG
UPON HILLTOP GRIDIRON
- ' l
Overpower Speedy Colorado Team Which Is Kept on the
Defense During Nearly All of the Four .
Quarters of the Game Filled
With Thrills.
By JAMES RUSSELL.
Overpowering the speedy Colorado School of Mines eleven
throughout every period of one of the fiercest conflicts wage.d
on Creighton, field this season, Coach Mill's Blue and White
warriors, individually and collectively 'earned a crown of glory
for themselves by wresting a spectacular game from the! Min
ers, piling up 34 points on the outclassed, opponents, ho were
able to garner only two touchdowns. Score: .34 to 14.
CREIGHTON AGGRESSOR. Q,
' Mill's men had tfc Miners, on Ihe
defensive from the first, time and
again charging up to the enemy's goal
post and over the last ditch. .
- Creighton held mainly to straight
foot ball, With an occasional pass to
exercise Mullholland's, arm. In line
plunging and on end runs, the Blue
and White backfieWs made gains con
sistently. The Miners resorted to the
aerial game when they discovered that
they could not penetrate the Creigh
ton line, but Captain Morgan and his
valiant cohorts discounted the des
perate efforts of the despairing Miners
to score. '
v, MINERS ARE GAME.
But Coach Parson's crew was in
the game and fought like tigers until
the last second of play, which was
in the rapidly deepening dusk. The
battle was clean throughout, desper
ately as it was fought, Pittser, C.
Schneider and H. Schneider were the
heroes of the Miner squad. Fittser
and "Chuck" Schneider shon forth
particularly, and it was cue to their
efforts that the Miners gave the large
crowd heart failure a number of times
during the game, when either of these
worthies got a good start with the
ball. Pittser did some excellent punt
ing and C. Schneider made good
heaves with the oval, although Creigh
ton finally solved the deceptive over
head attack and broke it up. Bailey
at quarter, got away for good gains,,
while Schneider, captain of the Colo
rado squad,, set his men a "fine ex
ample. Creighton Stars.
For Creighton the britrht stars nf
the .game were Mullholland, Leahy
and' Moonan, while Harmon at quar
ter, kept his team i on the qui vive
all the time and reeled off several
lengthy end runs.. The blue and
white line held like a stone wall most
of the time, especially when the
Omaha goal was endangered in any
way. From Hull, at left, to Emery,
on . the right wing, each man made
his presence felt.
Leahy officiated in the kicking de
partment and his long high boots
aided materially in gaining yards for
Creighton on an exchange of kicks.
The big fullback returned Timer's
punts for IS, 25 and 45 yards every
time he got his hands on the ball.
But it was on line bucking that
Leahy shone forth in alt his glory.
During the first part of the contest
he carried the ball the greater part of
Jhe time,' until he hurt his knee and
received a jolt in the head and a
few other things happened to him
But he was onlv slowed up a trifle,
and proved it by scoring(a touchdown
in the last quarter, intercepting a few
forward passes and making" large
gains around the ends.
Smashes Line Hard.
Eddie MulthoIIand, who went into
he game with a stiff knee, proved to
be an irresistible line smasher; his
flipping of the oval was up to his
usual standard and he contributed one
touchdown.
Moonan at right half was the sur
prise of the day. The doughty little
back gained -onsistently at all times,
and frequently broke away for long
runs after penetrating the heavy Colo
rado line. His startling feat was a
20-yard dash for the goal line, after
pulling off one of the classiest trick
plays staged through center this year.
By overcoming the Miners so de
cisively Creighton avenged the two
defeats suffered at the hands of two
admittedly Inferior teams earlier" in
the season. The blue and white has
, also given evidence of being of higher
caliber than any team in the Rockies.
, Creighton scored in every quarter
except the third, while the Miners
managed to cross the blue and white
line once in the second and third
quarters.

-V ONE COAL MISSED. i
Both Syracuse and Nebraska mark
ed up one touchdown.. Both Syra
cuse and Nebraska made One field
goal. But Meehan of Syracuse kicked
one goal after touchdown and Captain
Shaw missed. .
' Two years ago Nebraska won a foot
ball game from Notre Dame, 20 to
19. Failure to kick goal after a touch
down was the controlling element
in that game. Today the same per
formance was repeated. But this time
it was a Cornhusker, not an enemy,
who was the victim of fate.
STARS OUT OF GAME.
Even though the result of the game
hinged on that one point, on a goal
kick, the New Yorkers deserved to
win. 1 hey earned their victory, ror
the Blue and Gold eleven made a sec
ond touchdown, had carried the ball
over the Husker line, but an ac
commodating officials sharp eyes had
spied -a Sracuse lineman offside, a
penalty was affixed and the New
Yorkers could not repeat.
Furthermore, it must be admitted
the star of the Scracuse backfield,
one "Wild Bill" Finsterwald, who is
said to be slated for an All-American
position, did not get in the game at
all and Jack Malone, the fastest man
in the Syracuse backfield and the
New Yorkers' punter was forced out
of the. game by injuries in the first
quarter.
Generalship Wins.
The statistics of the game show an
advantage for the Cornhrfskers. In
yards gained from scrimmage, Ne
braska gathered a total of 231 yards
to 205 by, Syracuse. Nebraska made
first downs. 14 times and Syracuse I).

Nebraska only five.
But statistics fail to tell the story
of today's game. Generalship and
coaching brought victory to the invad
ing host. Never let it be said Syra
cuse has a better foot bajl team than
Nebraska, it hasn't. Man for man,
the Cornhuskers have it on their con
querors by a wide margin, but there
the Nebraska superiority stops apd
tlie New Yorkers lead.
From the first whistle to the last,
the Syracuse eleven played a cool,
calculating game, doing just the right -thing
at the right timeand taking ad- '
vantage of every, opportunity offered.
The Cornhuskers were simply out
managed. N:braska Leads Off.
The Cornhuskers were the first to
score. They marked up three points
in the opening quarter, when Paul
Dobson startled the spectators with
