Creigh ton university is likely to meet with a stumbling block when it tackles Drake diversity in Ojnaha Novem ber 1J. The eleven is coached ,by M. B. Banks, former Syracuse quarterback and all-Americati choice, and in ad dition to a number of veterans from last year's team, which had a fairly successful season in the Missouri Valley conference, he hasa score of stars from the last year freshman squad1. ; .' . ' . .. " ' The material is the finest in the history of the school, and the. team has won its opening games by im pressive scores, although the oppo sition was not particularly classy. The eleven has,won two games with out having its goal line crossed, pil ing up a score of 54 to 0 against Penn college and 66 to 0 against Simpson college. Simpson hi particular has a fairly good college team. Plenty of Stars. The team does not lack m stars, and the line is a heavy one. In the backfield he , wjU probably start Brihdley at quarter, Joyce Allen at one half, Shawvcr at the other half and Shearer at fullback. Shawver was an Itll-Missouri, Valley halfback last year. The other three men are all former high school stars selected as all-state squad material for more than one year during their high school careers. On the line lie will have Pendy and Lbng at ends.'Denton and Horn- aday on tackles, Tiltnont and Lutz it gaurds and Amme at center.

Has Heavy Schedule. . , Allen is an extremely reliable open field runner and Brindley is an experienced foot ball general and an accurate forward passer. Shearer, who starred ftfr Mason City High school, has shown ability to dent al most any kind of a line. Shawver is extremely fast. ' The eleven has one of the heaviest schedules of any team in, the vest outside' of the conference this'year, playing Washington university, Mis souri, Kansas, Grinnell, Morning side, Creighton and Oklahoma. Sewell rapped to Kilduff. who retired Gardner at the pan, and another bounder to feta retired the side. Cleveland had a chance In the first In ning, when Evans poked a single through Sheehan. a glaringly weak spot In the Brooklyn defense today, but "Wfcmby" and Evansv crossed each other In some' way on a hit and run' play, on which Evans was thrown out at second stand ing up. The third Inning was another bad one for the Indians. Evans ripped off a single with one gone. - "Wamby" tried to lay down a bunt; but It bounded high In the air in front of the plate, and Miller got it tn time to force oufc Evans at second. Burns drovXa liner through left (center, and It almost bounded Into the temporary stands. Before Myers and VWheat could corral the pill, Speaker raced across the pan with tho only run of tho game, and Hums reached second. The- Indians had another r he nee to score' In th-e eighth, when Evans made the third of his trln of swats with one- down, but Smith's balk motion fooled him and he was picked off the base before any thing could happen.

Trounce the Brooklyn George Eamson Cancels His Bout With Schmader promoter Ernie Holmes Sub stitutes "Gunboat" Smith in Main Event' of Wednes day's Athletic Show. By RALPH WAGNER. . George Lamson, Walthill, Neb., heavyweight boxer, who was sched uled to appear in a 10-round fistic wicounter with Andy Schmader of Louisville, Neb., at an athletic show to be staged at the City auditorium Wednesday evening, will not be per mitted to enter a ring until his phy sical condition is improved, accord ing to Dr. F. T. Schleier, First Na tional Bank building, who operated on the Walthill heavy Sunday aft ernoon. Promoter Ernie Holmes, who is staging the' athletic show for the benefit of the Omaha Firemen's Re lief association, announced last night that "Gunboat" Smith, Phila delphia slugger, will meet Schmader in the 10-round main event. Smith will arrive in Omaha early today from Chicago, where he has been in training. Smith is Veteran. Fans who already have purchased tickets for the Lamson-Schmadr mill, and who want their money re funded are at liberty to exchange iheir ducats at Ernie Holmes' bil liard parlors. - . J The announcement that Lamson would be unable to meet Schmader in the ring Wednesday night came as a blow to Promoter Holmes One of the largest crowd otsboxing fans that ever atttended an entertain ment of this character was expected to be on hand when the two battlers met. However,' the show will be held as scheduled, but witht Smith and Schmader in the main encounter. "Gunboat" Smith, who is a vet eran of the roped arena,-has met "Battling" Levinsky, Jack Dempsey, Fred Fulton, Billy Miske, Harry Greb, Frank Moran and several other heavyweights who have played prominent roles in the boxing game. Hundreds of fight fans in Omaha today believe Lamson "crawled" out of his scheduled mix-with Schma der. Whether the Walthill Indian "crawled" out of his bout or not, he should not be allowed to enter the ring in his condition, according to Dr. Schleier. . Wants to Box Schmader. Under the boxing laws of states where the fight game is legalized, a boxer must be examined by a physi cian 48 hours before the encounter is staged. , "f am willing to box Schmader, and want to meet him as soon as I ai in condition." said Lamson. "I am sorry this happened, especially at this time, .but Dr. Schleier will not permit me to continue with" the bout. As soon as I am in condition, and that will be soon after my physi cian allows me to start training, I will be ready to box Schmader any place, at any time and for any pro moter' in the United States."

Cornhusker Grid Officials May v Investigate Hoosier's Record Whether George Gi?p, Notre Dame star halfback, is eligible for foot ball this year is a question in the minds of a number of Nebraska university foot ball officials. Creighton university, basket ball men claim they witnessed Gipp play-J ing at yie university oi uiroit, when Coach Mills had his mu on their eastern trip last winter. "It is said that Gipp left the South Bend school soon after the foot ball sea son to play at Detroit.

Tomorrow the champions will run a mile and a quarter over the Kenilworth Jockey club track for the thorouRhbred title of America and stakes wortli $80,- 000. ,The race Will be run rain or shine, and regardless of track condi tions. Present indications arc that the greatest crowd that ever ' wit nessed a turf event in Canada will crowd the Kenilworth enclosure. Earle Sande, who will ride CQm- mander J. K. L. Ross Sir Barton tomorrow, and Clarence Kummer, jockey for Samuel Riddle's Man O' War, took their, rrfounts over the course today in easy workouts. Im mediately afterwards the horses were' taken to their quarters. Train ers and assistants tonight watched the breathing of the animals and guarded against interruption to the sleep of their charges. Outside the bungalow stables detectives patrolled around barred entanglements. Commander Ross tonight joined with his trainers and jockey in prc dictingtjiat Sir Barton "will not dis grace himself in tomorrow s contest," In the Riddle camp the view is ex pressed that Man O War b un beatable. - Intermittent drizzles of rain throughout Monday softened the surface of the frank, but not enough so that fair weather tomorrow morn ing will not dry it out and put it in lightning-fast condition, The two horses will go to the bar rier as the only entrants in the fourth race of tomorrow's Kenilworth pro- gram. Man O' ,War will carry flat three-year-old weight of 120- pounds. Sir Barton will go the distance with 126 pounds.

Cleveland Wins Flag And Each Indian Will Receive $4,204 Check Cleveland. Oct. 11. Sunday's game was the last inhich the play ers share in the receipts. Tabula tion of the figures for the' five con tests show that if Cleveland wins, nWr ii AVrin l; player on the American league will receive approximately $4, i,;i. it pvi,;B. ul v,- each club 204, while if Brooklyn wins the Na tional league athletes will get onlv $3,951 each. The discrepancy is tlu to the fact that Brooklyn's share must be split among 27 men,, while only ' 22 Clevelanders will be re warded. One share in addition goes to Mrs. Ray Chapman. In neither case arc the figures as great as for lasr year's serieswhcu Cincinnati players g6V$4,881.5oeach and Chicago men received $3,254.37.

If Notre Dame should lose Gipp it would disrupt the whole team. Gipp besides playing half, does the punt ing, drop kicking and passing. The Cornhusker officials will fliake no formal eligibility protest against Gipp.but will probably wire the Notre Dame authorities to invest igate the Hoosier's record, it is said.

Cleveland, 'Oct. 11. Sherrod Smith, one of the aces of the Brook' lyn pitching staff, was unable to stop the Cleveland Indians at bat today, and they gathered seven hits off his offerings, and continued out in front in batting with an average for the six games of .247. "Duster" Mails faired better than his slab rival and by holding the Dodgers to three hits, pulled the Na tioaal league champions down from a mark of .240 to .214.
