saw pulled Wed
nesday night
against the same
quintet, Creighton
v university s bas
ket ball tossers allowed Colgate to
forge ahead in the final seconds and
win the last game of the series by
the score of 27 to 24.
Jt was the last game of the sci
son for Creighton at home and it
might be said that the locals com
pleted a very successful basket ball
year on the home court, winning all
but two of its contests. Des Moines
college defeated the Blue and Whitt
here by the score of 24 to 19.
The game last night. was a fitting
climax to rhe Creighton home sched
ule. Fighting from start to 'finish,
both teams exhibited a brand of bas
ket ball that has equaled any dis
played here this season. The guard
ing of each player. Together with
the passing, is worthy of comment,
while the teamwork of Creighton ano
Colgate functioned well at all times.
Exciting Game Throughout.
From the first whistle in the in
itial period until the final shot was
fired denoting that the contest had
ended and the curtain lowered on
Lasket ball at Creighton university
as far as home games are concerned,
the fans were kept keyed up to the
highest pitch. Not one dull moment
tound its way into the game, which
was featured by spectacular shots by
Blue and While cagers as well as
' by the Hamilton, X. Y. basketeers.
s The first half of the game, while
""exciting, was not especially fast.
Creighton led in this period until
with onlv a minute of play remaining.
" Murphy"tied the count, 14 to 14. anu
. then Linnelian put in one bucket and (
the stanza ended with- Colgate on
the long end of a 16 to 14 count.
The second half was fast enough
from a Colgate standpoint at least.
The visitors opened up with a pecV
liar offense, which the locals seemed
unable to fa11?bm for a minute or' two.
It consisted M a dribble ending in
v short backward pas; 'which gentr
ally brought results. Anderson
seemed unable to miss. the bask?t;and
to his woudcriul shooting Colgate
owes it's victory.

Sensation
Of World Series.
Losing None Started 13 Years Ago
New Yotlv Feb- 25. (Special.)
Anyone who believes the road to
pitching fame1 is -paved with roses
may find proof to the contrary in the
record of Stanley Covelcskie.
The star of -the 1920 world's sc
ries found the highway that leads
to base ball's hall of fame steep and
rocky. He had to work harder than
the average pitcher because he is a
disciple of the spitball, and as such
suffered from wildnessvhich he was
unable to remedy for a good many
seasons.
. Today the star of the Cleveland In
dians stands out as one of the most
sensational pitchers base ball has'
known, and enjoys the distinction of
being one of a select quartet of
twirlers who have won three games
and lost none in a single world's
series. .'','
lu addition to' this fine" record
Coveleskie ranks as one of the great
est pitchers of she age, and, thanks
tp a sane ruling made by the ma
jor league rules committee, after the
spittcr was put under the ban, "Co
vey" will be enabled to continue in
the use of his pet delivery until' he
comes to the end of his trail as a
big league star. 1
Puring the 1920 campaign Cove
leskie and Jim Bagby were the men
who shouldered the 'burden of pitch
ing Tris' Speaker's Indians to their
first American league pennant. On
the , season's work Bagby finished
with a better record for games won,
but in spite of this fact it was Cove
lcskie who stepped into the breach
when victories were needed and
turned back the opposition. It was
Coveleskic's consistent pitching in
crucial series and his fine work in
the world's series that landed the In
dians their world's championship.
Bark With Indian.
"Covey" will be In the harness with
the Indians again this year and Cleveland
fans are hoiilna- that his good rlitht arm
will not fail and that hi control of the
ipltter will bo Just a effective aa It was
'last year. Last season the world's series
star took part In 41 gomes. Out of tMs
number he turned In the fine total of
24 victories against 14 defeats for a
pitching percentage of .082. He faced 1.1 3
batsmen and gave up 2.4S earned runs
per nln Innings.
Opposing bat sin en got 63 bases on balls
off of him a,nd base runners managed
to steal fourteen bases while he officiated
in the box. He won the strike-out titlu
for the season by fanning 1)3 batters,
and four hit batsmen, coupled with one
lone wild pitch all . season offer muto
evidence to the manner in which lie has
learned to control the moist delivery.
What will Coveleskie do this year? In
dications are that with' the spltter givfen
a new lease on life and the same -fine
team that won the world's till behind
him. he. may continue on his winning .
He may .even turn In more victories for
the tribe -than ha did last year, and ir
the Speakerttes ianago to battle their
way Into another world's series, will
have another chance to" show the base ball
world what a hard-rwrorking 'fogbalUst"
can do. . ,
