Visitors' , Back Field Too

Brilliant Run Made by

Staff Corrpndit.
Lincoln, Neb. Oct. 18. (Special
relegram.) The irony of fate on
this specific occasion coming in the
form of a brief 30-second nap in the
opening minute of play caused the
defeat of the Nebraska Cornhuskers
by the University of Notre Dame by
a score of 14 to 9, in today's annual
jrame at Nebraska field.
In Mia particular instance, A.
Bergman, brother of the famous
"Dutch" Bergman, who has per
formed in stellar capacity on numer
ous previous occasions on Nebraska
field, took the ball from George
i Gipp, haltback, on the kickoff on his
own S-yard line and raced 97 yards
for a touchdown. The count was
never beaded.
, Nebraska Fights Gamely.
Nebraska fought gamely through
out thz. entire game. In the first half
a brHng ram attack by the Husk
ers :" ainst the Hoosier line, through
the ?.',cricy of Halfbacks Dobson
and Wright and Fullback Dale, two
times brought the ball within strik
ing distance ot the Notre Dame goal
line. In the second instance Wright
scored on a line buck. Dale missed
goal.
- The half ended with the score,
Notre Dame, 7; Nebraska, 6.
Baffle Husker Ends.
In the second -Jialf, Notre Pame
"opened up," Directly after the kick
off with the ball in their possession,
the Hoosiers sprung a series of for
ward passes that completely baffled
the Husker ends. It was Gipp to
Bergman, Bahan to Kirk and Miller
to Bahan for four passes that sent
" the ball under the Nebraska goal
posts.
In two instances, when the vis
itors had, via the aerial route,
brought the ball within sight of the
Husker iroal, the home lads held.
The tliird time, however, Bergman
was sent over for a second Notre
"Damc touchdown on. a line smash
throuch center. Captain Bahan
kickei goal. He also kicked the first
goal from field.
Schulte Machine Crumbles.
From that moment, early in the
: third quarter, the Huskers played in
' a frenzy of fear. The machine that
Coach Schulte had built ut crumbled
- easilv. Its morale was cone. Later.
when Captain Dobson drop kicked
brilliantly from his 'own 43-yard
line, the Huskers shewed-a slight
return of spirit. But the moment for
scoring had passed. '
Coach Knute Rockne's men slaved
"with striking sureness. Outweighed
on the line, with a buoyance of

and over every play that the Husker
" backs engaged in. Schellenberg,
whose versatility won a touchdown
and a tie score from the powerful
Gophers a week ago, was stopped
frequently. Likewise- other backs
failed.
Big Crowd at Game. 1
A crowd of 8,000 jammed every
seat in the grandstand and bleach
ers. During most of the game there
was a wave of feeling over the vast
audience that Nebraska would win:
And it was decidedly a Nebraska
crowd. The Hoosiers knew their
game, however, tucked away their
-score and played for time. ,,
The Nebraska team entered the
came with three substitutes in the
lineup. Wright displaced Schellen
berg at left half; Wilder played in
- Hubka's tackle, wnile Wade Munn
ssumed the weaker - position at
guard. McGlasson started at quar
ter instead of Howarth, the Husker
veteran.
Change in Lineup.
In the final quarter, shortly'after
Captain Dobson's brilliant drop
kick, the Husker coach caused a re
arrangement of his team that
looked promising. , Hubka was shift
ed from the line to the back field,

fore had resumed his position at
left half. Howarth became the
team's pilot. ' A
Hubka began proceedings by
smashing twice 11 yards for two
first downs- The ball then was on
the Husker 45-yard line. Six
lenfcerg, though stopped short,
managed to dart approximately
some 25 yards on three rtins over
the Notre Dame left end. The
Huskers lost the ball, however, two
minutes before the game ended.
Visitors Have Advantage.
Notre Dame possessed the bbll at
but brief intervals. In these, hpw--ever,
her speedy backs, Gipp and
Bergman, under the guidance of
Captain Bahan at quarter, were able
to smash over for the necessary
gains and execute the fatal forward
passes. Final statistics concerning
ground gain and advances on punts
cave the visitors the advantage. Ne
braska regards the defeat dubiously.
It is generally stated that the
Huskers should have won. While
with the ball, their plunging backs,
Wright, Dale, Dobson and bchelien
berg, made -powerful attacks tor
weighty gains. What the team
lacked, apparently, was a quarter
hack capable of marshalling his men.
The playing of the Nebraska ends
also was weak.

Dame cohorts gives out hat had
Bergman not made his brilliant 97-
yard run for a kick-off, the Notre
Darae team would have "opened
. up" considerably earlier than the
third ouarter. with results that
would ' have been disastrous. As
Armv scouts were in the grand
stand, and the Catholics meet the
Army soon, the team held on.
. Statistics show that the game was
played closely. In eight punts Ne
braska ave raited 35 yards. In four

forms have been- packed and sent
back to St. Paul," he said. ,"If any
plans have been made to play a
series with the San Francisco club,
they have. been made solely with the
St. Paul players as individuals. I
have no authority over them at all."
Mr.Hickey also issued this state
ment: -
"When I return east I will call a
meeting of the American association
club owners and recommend that a
j series of games between the Pa
cific Loast league pennant winners
and the champions of my organiza
tion lie played each fall.-''
"There will be a proviso that if
the Vernon club, with Ed. Maier as
owner, and William Essick as mana
ger, wins the Coast league flag, the
series is off.
"The St. Paul club, representing
the American association, was not
treated with the respect and
courtesy due a ball team that

Real Bowling Champions May
Be Crowned in Peoria Tourney
There Is No Acknowledged Title Holder at Present, But
Jimmy Snjith, "Count" Gingler and Frank Carauna
May Meet to Decide King Pin Position.
By A. L. LANGTRY.
Sccrelarjr of American Howling CongrrnH.
Now that the base ball series to
decide the world's champions is out
of the way, the bowlers who were
wild over base ball in the middle
west wiil settle back to the serious
thoughts of bowling and the faTming
will at;ain start as to who is the
champion, and it is expected that
Jimmy r.'mith, "Count" Gengler,
Frank Carauna and the rest of the
boys who are acknowledged . to be
the best ever, will come together
with a chsh that will afford many
miles cf bowling alibi. stories to go
the rounds.
While in Chicago last week a
prominent newspaper man from Cin
cinnati v.ho was attending the series
at the White Sox park, and who is
more interested in base bait than
bowling, came at me strong with the
question as to who is the champion
bowler, of the country, and I came
right b'ack at him with the query,
who -is ihe champion base ball play
er. He laughed, and said that he
guessed that I had. the argument
won, as there was no champion ball
player, for just as soon as some one
would pu'l a daring play, or pitch a
gilt-edged, air-tight game, that the
next, some one else in some distant
part of the country would go him
one better, and the pitcher who had
just pitched a no-hit game, would be
hit for about IS hits his next time
up, and the all-star in or outfielder
would toss Off a game by dropping
a fly that looked easy, so there was
no champion ball player.
Many Chances in Bowling.
That exactly agreed with my idea
regarding a champion bowler, and
while we may acknowledge that
there are star bowlers, at the same
time the star will have a terrible
slump and lose several games
througa easy errors on single pins,
or miss the head pin when a strike
is needed here and there in a game
to pull it cut of the fire. There is no
sport or recreation on earth where
so much chance is taken as there is
in bowling, and when you figure that
the head pin is 60 feet from the
foul line, and that old bowling ball
has to go down a lot of wooden
planks from the foul lines to the pins
it is a bigger elenlfnt of chance than
in base ball where the pitcher only
has to throw through the air with no
interf;rence whatever. It brings
bowling down to as near a pro-amateur
sport as any recreation can be
brought in the sporting line.
In addition to this, the publicity
given the scores by placing fhe num
ber of pins on a score sheet every
frame, by someone who is scoring,
and hundreds watching, it makes
the games safe, as in publicity- there
is safety.
Leads with Sanctioned Leagues.
The popularity of the game has
been brought about, by these condi
tions, and it is the most popular
game in the ..country for an active
participant. For instance, how
many men who attend the world's
series can play base ball in any form,
while you will find in large bowling
alleys in different cities every night
from 1,000 to 10,000 bowling in
leagues alone.
There is one establishment in De
troit that accommodates' each week
ssmethingvlike 75 leagues or better,
and all in one house. In Chicago
there are over 100 bowling alleys in
the loop district, where 60 to 70
leagues are going into action week
ly, and these are only a few in
stances. In sanctioned leagues so far this
year Chicago leads the van with
over 80, followed by Detroit with
75, and Milwaukee comes third with
about 60 leagues sanctioned. Every
bowler in these leagues are suport
ing organized bowling and are mem
bers of the American Bowling con
gress. This does not apply to big
cities only, but there are smaller
cities like Kenosha, Wis., whose
population is about 40,000, which has
15 leagues and all are sanctioned,
and Rockford, 111., probably a little
larger, with all leagues sanctioned.
Every league in the country should
secure a sanction and protect the
.scores of their bowlers, especially
as sanctions are granted free for the
asking by the congress.
Nowy Waiting for Action.
Every bowler in the - country is
awaiting some action by Smith,
Gengler, Caruna & Co., to know just
where they stand, and while we do
not know how the latter two are
bowling, we do kiysw that Jimmy
Smith is going gooa this year, prob
ably better than for the past two
years, and is in tiptop form at this
time, averaging over 200 in the only
league he is bowling in. This is a
good sign, as it is continuous work,
and he does not have to extend
himself, as his competition does not
worry him greatly, so he naturally
will loaf a little. If he can hold a
league average of over 200 and loaf,
what will he do when he starts to
get into match-game form? So while
we do not wish to acclaim Smith as
the champion, as someone may take
him into camp before this story is
cold, still he is sure to go into his
match games strong, and will be
backed as the favorite by the Mil
waukee fans at least. v.
The international tournament at
Peoria this year will bring many of
the eastern bowlers west, as there
will be plenty of money laying
around the big bowling hub of the
country, which is Chicago, and it is
safe to say that during the month
of March quite a few match games
will be in the Windy City by what
is known as the tiptop notcners in
bowling, so we await a peep or two
from the balance of the star bowl
ers when they find that Jimmy
amitn is reaay, ana iney snouia De
getting ready if they want to give
him a real competition.
Smith will bowl in Peoria with a
Milwaukee team and will be doubled
with a Milwaukee man in the two
man event. He made a masterful
showing at Toledo last year in his
two-man event, and came back
.A - .1 " f , ,
stronger inau ever in nis singles,
so when he starts in Peoria it will
be with the eyes of bowling- fandom
strong on him and with good wishes
from everybody, as he is a popular
bowler amongst the bowlers in gen
eral. .

Championship .

to the school championship of
Omaha. The Purple and White has
no game scheduled with the High
School of Commerce and therefore
must base its claim by means of
scores tallied up against opponents.

last Saturday to the tune of 74 to 0.
Commerce High under Coach Jim
Drummond defeated South High,
but was able to tally up but few
scores. Central swamped Council
Bluffs High and the Commercial
lads were only able to cross the line
once.
Central High is not only after the
city championship, But the entire
Missouri valley championship. The
line still remains ut.threatened. Cen
tral's late victory over' Norfolkfs
one less contender for the valley
championship out of the way. Cen
tral will be on the road for the next
two weeks.
Sioux City and North High at
Des Moines are the two games'
scheduled. The latter game is
looked upon by Coach Mulligan's
warriors as the hardest of the year.
Willmarth, who received a broken
collarbone in the South High
game, will be at his old position as
half in the next game. .
