"Kid" Schlaifer. Omaha scrapper,
and Jack Leahy, Winner, S. D., maul
er, have come to the 5 o'clock whis
tle to far as their training is con
cerned. Little left for them to do
now save keeping windpipes clean
and as true as a willow whistle for
the bout in the City Auditorium to
morrow night.
Schlaifer has worked hard for this
bout, harder, indeed, than' the clever
Leahy, who promises to explode a
very ambitious young scrapper from
the South Side. Schlaifer must whip
Leahy if he is to make for himself
the matches which his manager has
outlined for him this winter. It will
not do to simply outpoint his oppo-
. ' v. - l
Chance for Leahy.
Leahy has set the fashion with re
gard to Harry Keed knocked him
out as cold as an old-fashioned gin
rickey in five rounds. Schlaifer has
boxed Reed on three different oc
casions, but has yet to put the game
little Lincoln lightweight to sleep
on .the canvas. The fact thafr'Lcahy
sent Reed to dreamland in the mid
dle of a bout has boosted his stock
among local boxing fans and Schlai
fer must do a little knocking out
along those lines or suffer a fearful
slump in the attraction market.
This is Leahy s greatest oppor
tunity to score. Should he finish
the Omaha welterweight during the
early stages of the mill, then he is
traveling right along the right road
to good matches and more coin.
But, should the Hebrew lad from the
South Side win, then Omana follow
ers of the boxing game will be re
questing the Legion to stage another
show with Schlaifer and some good
boy in the semi-windup.
Both fighters appear to be in the
pink of physical condition. Schlaifer
has rid himself of the little super
fluous flesh he was carrying, and in
his boxing Friday and Saturday
showed plenty of speed and clever
ness. The "Kid" took on "Kid"
Graves for four rounds and he car
ried the former scrapper along at an
exceedingly fast clip, after which he
slugged away wi'h another training
partner.
Expect Large Crowd.
Leahy has been training at the
Creighton gymnasium. The South
Dakota lad appears .to be iujhe best
of condition and Friday showed
improvement over his workouts early
in week. He will wind up his train
ing today and take only a light ex
ercise tomorrow morning. 1 He will
rest in the afternoon.
Jake Isaacson, chairman of the
Douglas County post of the Ameri
can Legion, which is staging the
show, announced yesterday that the
advance sale for the bout had been
most satisfactory, but added there
are plenty of seats at popular prices.
"Every chair is in its place," said
Isaacson, "the policing and usher
ing arrangements have been perfect
ed and the bouts will start on time."

Smooth Teamwork of Easterners
Throughout Game and Playiiig of
Charlie Way Results in Victory
By JACK VEIOCK.
State College, Pa., Nov. 7. Grim
ly fighting, Nebraska university's
football team went down to a 20 to
0 defeat here at the hands of one
of the most powerful elevens in
tne east, 1'enn state. I he game
was not all t Pennsylvania State
by and means. There were times
when the youngsters from the west
crammed close to the Pennsyl
vania State goal line. Theif work,
while crude in spots when compared
to the smooth veteran team work of
the easterners, drew cheers from a
crowd of 10,000 persons which
jammed Beaver field. The score
I scarcely demonstrated the superior
ity ot tne state college eleven, until
the third quarter the Pennsylvanians
had been able to cross the Nebraska
line only once, and then only by one
Qf those lucky forward passes that
are likely to fall to any-team against
any team. -
In the fourth Quarter Charlie Way
entered the game, replacing Pennsyl
vania State's original starter at right
halfback, Lightner. Way is a foot ball
star, one of the greatest the east
ever has gazed upon. He was-given
the ball on the first play after his
entrance to the game, when the ball
was in Pennsylvania territory. When
his heels had been stopped by the
desperately running Wright, he raced
55 yards. The next time his number
was called he dashed 57 yards for a
touchdown. Just what would have
happened if Way had entered the
game at the start can only be specu
lated upon. Be it is sufficient to say
that Nebraska's team gazed upon one
of the most marvelous running back
field men who ever played foot ball.
And it might be added that Nebraska
was very close to demoralization
through the spectacular feats of this
back, who weighs only 148 pounds.
V Captain Day Stars.
For the first thre-quarters the
game was a very even affair. It is
a fact that Nebraska started like a
vinnef, and that it looked like the
victor early in the third quarter.
The fight was against odds that
were too grcat,"nowever, and Ne
braska had to bow. The Comhusk
ers were pitted against greater ex
perience, which, in foot ball, counts
for a very great deal. On the Ne
braska side of the playing. Captain
Day acquitted himself with great
credit. The stocky center appeared
to be making every other tackle:
he was in the interference or near
it every time a Nebraska man ran
with the ball, aqd his courage was
a source of inspiration to every man
on the team. Nebraska impressed
the easterners by the impetuosity
and certainty with which they
brought down Pensylvania State
runners. When a Nebraska man hit
a Pennsylvania State runner, with
vi;ry few exceptions, the Pennsyl
vania Stater hit the ground instantly
and with conviction that he was
down; particulatly was this true of
Swanson and Day, both of them
pilars on defense.
The-Nebraska line in sheer power
equalled the Pennsylvania State
line, and excelled it at certain pe
riods. At line plunging the Ne
braska backs were best at the start
of the game, but they did not seem
to have the endurance of their east
ern rivals and petered out along to
ward the close.
Penn State Wins Toss. .
Thompson, substitute halfback,
v. ho went in for Nebraska in the
last quarter, staged a little surprise
party alone with Wavs. He began
hammering .holes in the Pennsyl
vania State line for good gains, and
seeral times skirted the Pennsyl
vania ends for advances. He gives
promise of future greatness.
Pennsylvania state won the toss snd
chosa to defend the west goal. Rauch
kicked ott to Wright, who ran back 10
yards to the Nebraska 50-yard line before
he whs "nailed." Weller immediately
punted, with the ball in mldfteld. The
rollefiians began to try for holes In thd
Nebraska line, but the effort was a rather
8G-ry one: Nebraska held for downs and
got possession ot the ball on Its own 35-
yam line.
Both teams resorted to a kicking game
for a (ew minutes, a contest at which Kill
ings of State had to take second place
to Weller and Moore of Nebraska.
Hartley, Nebraska half-back, who
showed to such fine advantage against
Rutgers In New York election day, threw
a scire Into the Penn state, when receiv
ing the abll on a trick pass formation. He
skirted the State left end for a gain of
40 yards. At this point the game looked
all Nebraska's, but State stifened at once.
Hartley was flung Thro times at the State
lint and then he unllmbered a forward
Pin, which was grounded behind the goal
line and mate bad tnn ball on Its own 10
yard jine.
Forced to Kick.
The teams exchanged punts and then
Nebraska took a couple of cracks at the
Sta'.e line, which after a brief weakness,
stiffened and forced the Westerners to
kick. ,
Pennsylvania State here found thai ITe-b-aska
could not fathom the forward pass
and began an attack overhead that did -not
end until the final whistle blew, ybet first
Stata pass whizzed successfully torn Kill-
fnge to Hnfford, who deposited the ball
on the Nebraska 30-yard line. Another
pass, through the same hands, placed the
ball on the Nebraska 15-yard line, where
the Pennslyvanlans smashed through the
Nebreska tackles for gains that placed the
ball three inches from the goal line.
The Cornbuskers braced desperately and
held. Moore was hurriedly summoned from
the sideline to replace Uubka and kicked
out of danger.

State attacked the right aide of thj
Nebraska line viciously In the second
quarter, opening with a first down through
a hols made there with h ball on
Nebrsska's 30-yard line. Rauch tried for
a placement goal from the 0-ard line,
hut Maran.iin blocked It.

8tat's 35-yard line, where Moora missed
a hard try for a tjeld goal. Moore punted
and on the next play Klllinger passed
3i yards to Hufford. who went over
for Btata'a first touchdown. Raub kicked
the goal. The half ended a few minutes
lator, with Nebraska m possession of the
ball on Its own 30-yard Hue.
Nebraska kept the ball in State ter
ritory through moat of the third quarter
and at one time apparently had scored
a touchdown. A fumble by Hubka and
a muddled signal on a pass formatkin
probably cost the westerners a touch
down. Brilliant plunging nnd passing by
Wright and Hartley placed the ball on
the State 13-yard line, where Hartley
passed to Swanson. Ho crossed the goal
line, but was recalled when an official
ruled n,e had stepped out of bounds.
Nebraska Outplayed In Last Quarter.
From this point the tide turned against
Coach Schulte's warriors and they were
consistently outplayed. The quarter ended
wfth Nebraska In possession of the ball
on the Stat 44-yard line.
And here Charlie Way got Into the
game and from hero on the story of the
game is a story of Way. On his first
play he skirted hi own end for a 60-yard
gain, taking the ball into Nebraska terri
tory. A forward pass failed, Haines
failed and Klllinger punted. Weller also
punted to State'a 43-yard line, where the
ball was given again to Way. He started
around Nebraska's left wing.1 wheeled
suddenly and scurried 37 yards for a
touchdown. Kauch kicked goal.
The third and final touchdown was
caused by Nebraska's sudden and ex
cusable concentration on Way. Nebraska
was neia lor aowns and state broke
through for two successive first downs and
Klllinger plunged through left tackle for
a touchdown, Rauch missed the goal.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha lire l.raed Wlr.
New York, Nov. 7. The violence
with which prices in every inarkcW
were swept downward last week on
the stdck exchange, in foreign ex
changes and in commodities, wil!
very prohably make the week one
of those land marks in the economic
history o a period which became
svrtiatter of Wall street tradition.
It is true tliat both in Wall street
and in general trade, two exactly
opposing ideas as to what would
happen had been entertained; one
that (by this time we should have
fallen into an old-fashioned panic;
the other that recovery of prices and
business activity, having (it was as
sumed), been obstructed by the po
litical campaign, would begin at once
when the campaign was over. Each
view of the matter was wrong, but
each was at least right in assuming
that the autumn would be the criti
cal period.
-Credit Tniler Strain.
' It la thin time ot year when the credit
market Invariably reaches Its maximum
ttrain ana lor moll known reasons, when
a rftil financial crisis has occurred In our
past history It was usually due or shortly
efore the present date, the panic of
1607 falling- in October, and that of 1871
late In September. But the crrdlt market
has shown Its acute signs of stringency
at the precise time, even when there was
no financial crisis. In two such years of
oitravagant speculation as 1(06 and 1900,
lor instance, the 40 and 125 per cent rates
for call money, occurred in November and
loamber.
Peculiar Problem.
The problem of the present markets Is

Yale Trtraaces Browns.
New Haven, Nov. 7. In one of
the hardest fought battles seen in
the Yale bowl this season, the un
beaten Brown eleven went down to
defeat before Yale, 14 to 10. The
teams were evenly matched although
Yale's men were nearly all substi
tutes. The contest was marked by
sensational runs by Oden, Brown's
st6r quarterback, who repeatedly
ran through the Yale team for long
gains and was only prevented from
reaching Eli's goal by Murphy's ex
cellent tackling.
