CREIGHTON FLOOR FANS
LOOK FORWARD TO CLEAN
SWEEP FOR
Blue and White. Coach Predicts Successful Season and
Loyal Supporters Go Him One Better By Assert
v ins Local Flippers Will Wipe Earth
With Everything in Sight
With cage practice of the Creightons well under way,
Coach Mills took time out Saturday night to express his convic
tions in decided and enthusiastic terms that the Creighton quin
tet will have a highly successful season on the basket ball floor
this winter. That his words will develop into actuality is the
opinion of confident Blue and White supporters who are will
ing to wager that their idols will not encounter a single defeat
this winter. .- ! '
Creighton will easily be the creamO-
of this part of the country in basket
ball circles. The five men who starred
ou the varsity squad at the big gym
nasium up on the hill last winter,
lias been out in their gym togs the
last two nights, and according to Mills
they are better than ever. Of the regu
lars "Chuck"Kearney, Vic Spittler and
I;d Haley are doing brilliant worlal
ready. Their basket shooting and
floor work is superb. Captain Eddie
Mullhofland and Vandever, the two
stellar guards, have lost none of their
old speed and are in the pink of con
dition. '
. , Many New-Men.
With the regular varsity crew in
tact, 13 new men of, various abilities
also reported for practice in the hopes
of winning a position on the .varsity.
Some of them have the appearance
of real stars, and threaten to give
the letter men a hard fight to retain
their positions on the first team. ?
"Hump"' Kmcry, Tom Berry, Bill
Coyne, Martin and Shevlin, aU of
whom played on the Creighton grid
iron eleven, and MacAlester, Prieshot?
and Kandolph, are excellent floor
men and consistent basket shooters.
Ton Berry, who starred on the Con
zaga five out in California, will un
doubtedly achieve a place with the
regulars. Among the others who have
shown ability are Carroll, Shevlin,
Gartland, Campbell and Moonan.
Creighton has a stiff schedule. The
opening game will be with Nebraska
Wesleyan on the Creighton floor De
cember 15. eru also will be seen in
Omaha before Christmas.

MILLS' QUINTET
O'Leary Tells of
Ball Players Who
v: Are, Superstitious
v . v
. Superstitions of base ball players
have given many a laugh to Charlie
O'Lcary, who, for nine years, was a
star infielder with the Dctroitclub of
the American league. But it remained
for the practice of base ball eccen
trics to "bone a bat" to rub their
clubs with a big, greasy bone fresh
from a butcher shop to produce real
ly amusing situations. I : ,"
, "Never heard of a kuv 'bouiuir a
bat?" he.' began. "Why. say. some
of the players, even big leaguers, si
h, t- -I..L t i . 1 a
in me ciuo nouses ior nours ana Dom
a bat until it glistens. Somttimes
they'll take thVir favorite stick to the
hotel at night , and 'bone' it for a
couple of hours. And ii any of them
should get two or three hits in the
game the next day. the devil himself
couldn't get the bone away from
them. It would be a lucky bone then
and they'd rub it all the harder."
".Boning the bat, in the1 minds of
the superstitious ones, fills up the
pores of the wood, prevents it from
splintering and makes the bat ring
wben.it connects with the ball pro
ducing longer drives. '
"Getting hits is the sole ambition
of every ball player," .O'Leary said,
"and a lot of them sincerely believe
that 'boning' their bats will get them
more hits. It's the truth that some
of the 'bugs' of the game, after a par
ticularly successtul day, will .take
their bats to bed with them and some
will even go so far as to stick them
up in a seat opposite them while rid
ing on a train.
O Lear, who managed the San An
tonio club of the Texas league last
season, tola of one lanky member of
the team who happened to take a cer
tain street car to the ball park one
day. As luck would have it, he drove
out four hits in the game that after
noon. "Do you think I could eet that bird
to ride out to the park in an automo
bile with me the next dty?" O'Leary
asked. "Not on your life. For four
days he waited for the same street
car. ..

Holds World's Record for
Kicking Goal on Gridiron
fx? rrrr
Bill Fincher. tackle of the world's
chaniDion Georgia Tech. team.' has
established what experts believe to be
a world's record on goal kicking. He
has made 65 out of 68 goals. During
the season that has just closed lyn
tons of carp and buffalo have been
taken from stagnant waters in this
territory. Thirty thousand game
fish have been . placed ifi Glenwood
Park lake and' other bodies of
water. Ihe work has been done by
Wardens Hall of Glenwood, Hobson
and Louden of Creston and Atkinson
of Red Oak. , . .
No More Espionage in
Coast Gridiron Circles
Spying in the enemy'sterritory is
to be a thing of the past in Pacific
coast preserves if all of the colleges
concerned follow the lead of Califor
nia and Washington. These institu
tions have made a pact that in future
when a . representative of one side
goes to look over the opposition talent
he shall announce his presence, obtain
a pass and stand on the sidelines. Foot
ball jviseacres say that in days gone
past coaches and their representatives
use to assume false whiskers, gum
shoes and other camouflage h-order
to "get a lin" on the opposition's
methods of attack and defense.
Coach ' Andy Smith of California
takes the stand that when a team is
hard pressed it will uncover every
thing it has, and future opponents of
said team can learn all there is to be
learned without resorting to Sherlock
Holmes' subterfuges. On the other
hand, whena team wants to "cover
up" in practice, he contends, all of the
public and private detectives in the
world could not get a line on its
tricks.

Useless Human Machinery
The human intestine seems to be
partly, a relic of prehistoric times,
largely useless in this modern day
and age. The uselessness of the
vermiform appendix, which is simply
the stump of what was once an im
portant and functioning branch pf
the alimentary canal, is well known.
Recent operations in a London hos
pital seem to indicate that a large
part of the lower main canal, the
colon, ym be dispensed with with
out harm. In these operations, sec
tions of the colon have been re
moved. The work brings up again
the famous scientist Metchnikoff's
debated contention that these parts
of the anatomy are not only useless
but dangerous. v

Three Nations Building
Concrete Ships of Smalt Size
One of the means of toileting" up
shipping to meet the submarine
menace is the construction of vessels
of re-enforced concrete in the same
way that skyscrapers are built. Such
vessels are building in England, Nor
way and the United States. So far
they are mostly of small size. Nor
way as launched several of 1,000 tons.
Lloyd s is willing to insure this type
of sRip up to 500 tons deadweight
capacity. A peculiar feature of the
Norwegian construction is that the
hulls are launched bottom ui.and
righted in the water, after further
work has been done upon them. The
leading drawback of the concrete ship
seems to be its weight.
Drawbacks to Alcohol -
As an Engine Fuel
A committee of Australian scien
tists is investigating the possibilities
of commercial alcohol in place of gas
oline as a fuel for internal combus
tion engines. They find that an en
gine can easily be run on alcohol,
and that its thermal efficiency when
so run is somewhat higher than with
casoline fuel. However, they also
find that alcohol must be fartheaper
by the pound than gasoline, and
somewhat cheaper by the quart, if it
is to be as economical a fuel in terms
of dollars and cents. Moreover, an
engine will not start from a cold
condition on alcohol.

half a crown besides. I always said mat ir
1 waa a father I wouldn't be stingy as tho
ranf nf thm nrA x fin in. DOD. and have a
good time whle yWre young. I never had
any chance myself!"
Mr. Tompkins gazed in DianK astonisn
ment at Tommy. Slowly tho significance of
tho hint dawned upon him. producing a
half sovereign, he said:
"Take It. Thomas. "When you really do he
come a father I hope It won't be your m'.e
fortuno to have a son who Is smarter than
yourself." New York World.
