Lincoln, Oct. IS. Nebraska romped over the ITaskcll Indian for six touchdown ana oootea nve goats, meanwhile holding the In dians scoreless and winning, 41 to 0, on hie Cornhusker field yesterday afternoon. The Huskers out weighed the Redskins by an average of IS pounds per man and were able to steam roller the visitors without dif ficulty. The Indians were game to the last, Captain Mc Elmore and Halfback Anderson especially fight ing like demons for every inch they could gain. Haskell started off in the opening period with two excellent gains. An derson and wotf era gained 3 ana IS yards on end runs that played the pigskin deep in Husker territory. The Nebraska defense stiffened and the ends began mowing down the Indians before their plays could get under way. The Husker backs played wider on defense and the rabbit-footed braves found Iheir greatest asset, speed, shot by the new mode of defense. Smashed Line. The Husker backfield was com pletely changed during the game and substitutions were made at all points in the line. Preston engineered the team through to victory and was civen a rest in the last auartcr. when H. McGlassion took up the mental task for the Huskers. Noble, Wright, Dewitz, Hartley, Laytonand Rus sell plugged the Indian wall lor gains on almost every play. Lewel len went in at halfback in the last quarter and played a stellar game during the entire period. Dewitz made one splendid run through a broken field for 19 yards to a touchdown in the second period. Lcwellcn and Swanson intercepted Indian passes that netted goodly gains for Nebraska. Nebraska had two chances to score in the first half that proved fruitless. One was an attempt by Preston to drop-kick from the 30-yard liue and the other when Swanson failed to grab a for ward pass over the Haskell goal line. Line Was Firm, Wright carried the ball during the third Quarter for a number of lengthy gains, his shifty footwork and soeed garnering many yards for the Cornhuskers. Noble's weight was counted on when line bucks were needed and Dewitz was used in smashing the Indian flanks. Russell pulled through the tackles for a niim- ber of gains. The work of Lay ton and Lewellen was excellent, the two lengthy lads' gains making a great showing in the Husker team. I he linemen held like marble on bucks by the Braves, who resorted to passes in the last quarter. The passing game proved unsuccessful for the Indians . and punting out of danger kept them busy the remainder of the game. Indian Quarter Starred, , Touchdowns for the Huskers were made by Wright, Russell, Lewellen, Dewitz and Schoeppell. Forward passes by Nebraska proved fairly successful, Swanson and Schoeppel gaining most of the ground on them. Schoeppel scored .a touchdown with one pass made from the 38-yard line. Preston's engineering ability, as well as ground gaining, was a feature of the game, the Husker manager outguessing Coach Bell's warriors at every turn. Captain McLemore, Indian, quar ter, and Anderson, halfback, were Haskell's mainstays throughout the battle, the Indian chieftain grabbing up two Nebraska passes and carry ing the ball out of danger to the Indian line.

(Copyright, 1121 by Kln Features Syn- aicaie, ino.j 'Twenty-five dollars more" bid James R. Keene, a dozen years or so ago. ' Sold, yelled the auctioneer. Those two bits of conversation gave to James R. Keene one of the greatest race horses of all time and added nearly half a million to his bankroll. Mingled therein is a story told on himself by Colonel Ruppert, part owner of the New York Yankees. Years ago, when Ruppert was something of a youngster, he owned a string of gallopers. Like all other owners, he was ever on the lookout for promising looking colts. He heard about an auction sale that was to take place one afternoon and dropped around during the morning to look over the colts. "None looked good to me except a somewhat undersized black youngster," relates Ruppert "But even though he was small, he looked powerful and rugged. His breeding was good. I decided to take a chance on him up to $1,500 in the bidding that afternoon. "I started things off .with $500. Somebody bid $525. I made it $600. The same voice that had raised $25 before added another $25. Gradu ally the bidding with only two .of us involved went to $1,000, then to $1,500, and then to $2,000. I still continued to boost, even though the original limit I had fixed had been passed. For the eagerness of the other person to secure the colt made me think that my judgment about the little fellow was quite correct and that he would prove to be a val uable acquisition. "The bidding continued, $25 and $50 at a time. It finally reached $2,975, which was my bid. I didn't know then who was bidding against me, but I learned later that it was an agent acting for a woman who had taken a fancy to the black colt She had figured on getting him cheaply, and, piqued because some one else was bidding so high against Her, kept right on adding to- my offers. - ' . "When I sung out '$2,975 there was an instant of hesitation. It seemed as if I was about to get the colt at that price. ; Then from an other part of the crowd came a strange voice which said: '"Twenty-five dollars more.' "I kept still. I had gone as far as I cared to go. The voice that had been bidding against me right along was stilled also. There were no other bids. "'Sold for $3,000,' said the auc tioneer. . "And so the black colt came into possession of James R. Keene. What colt was it 7 Oh, none other than Domino, one of the most remarkable No Scandal in iors This Year New York, Oct 15. Suspicious persons who had an idea that the White Sox would "lay down" in all four of their games with Cleveland because of western base ball hostili ty to the east had to confess them selves mistaken. Dick Kerr's shut out victory over the Indians proved the honesty of base ball. In spite of the bitter rivalry in the major leagues this year, nothing oc curred to arouse the scandal mongers. High Commissioner Landis kept his eyes wide open, but, so far as it can be learned, he is well satisfied with the way the games in both circuits were played. Pittsburgh Club , Reported for Sale New York, Oct 15. Among the important base ball men who arrived here recently, a story was Circulated to the effect that in the near future the Pirates would change owner ship. Barney Dreyfoss, who has been the owner of the Pittsburgh club for more than 20 years, is said to have grown weary of base ball as a result of the failure of his team to remain in front of the Giants dur ing the 1921 campaign.

"But this is the real story: "Keene hadn't been in the . room during the early bidding. He walked into it at the very moment that I was saying $2,975. He turned to Billy Lakeland, his trainer, who was with him, and asked what it was all about. Billy told him , the bid was on a little back colt '"Any good?' asked Keene. "'Good blood lines a little small looks like a stayer.' '"All right I'll bid $25 more on him,' said Keene. 'But that's all.' "And so it was that Keene's first and only bid got for him and lost for me, because I balked at another bid of $25, one of. the wonder horses of the American turf." AMERICAN RAILWAY EXPRESS LEAGUE.

Gopher Coach Puts Numbers on Team Which Evade Rule Dr. Harry Williams, head coach of the University of Minnesota foot ball team, sprung a new one on the followers who have been seeking to popularize the autumn sport for the spectators, through the system of numbering players. In Minnesota's opening game of the western conference intercolleg iate schedule with Northwestern, Williams rendered his Gopher ath letes practically undistinguishable from each other . by giving them numbers which contained four figures, and which from the abun dance of 3s, 5s and 8s, all curly figures nullified the spirit of the numbering rule, while living up to its letter. Williams' trick was accepted as a joke by some and a wily scheme by. others, but, but all genuine lovers of the sport were disappointed when a team of the standing of Minnesota did not see fit to join in the move which.was intended to add to the joy of foot ball lovers by making the fluctuating play on the field less complicated.

' ' '. Woods and Prairie Qhickens. , - A bracing, snappy autumn, day, a pair of dogs weaving across a field with machinelike, precision, prairie chickens zooming into the air with a roar there are three reasons wny Illinois hunters are looking forward to October 20, opening day of the prairie chicken season. In spite of the fact that a gunner is allowed to kill but three birds a day, chicken hunting is still mighty popular with the scatter gun fans, and hundreds of them are waiting with impatience for the bell to ring on the zUth. The pinnated grouse, as the prairie chicken, is sometimes called, is one of our handsomest game birds. It is smart, good looking, a strong flyer, and, last but not least, delicious eat ing. The males in the courting sea son are especially attractive. To see one of. these dandies spread his beautiful tail, inflate the bare, sal mon yellow air sacs on the sides of his neck, and then bow and strut be fore the lady of his choice, is a sight not soon forgotten. ' During this dance the bird booms a love song that can be heard for a considerable distance. After the nesting season the birds gather together and in September and October you will find them in coveys gleaning the oat and wheat stubble for grain.. .- Cornfields - are also favorite places for them "when in search of food. The sport they furnish in these fields well, ask any prairie chicken enthusiast He will tell you that a pair of dogs making a point on a covey of chickens is a picture that cannot .be -surpassed in any-sport 1 Another attraction about chicken shooting is the fact thafit is essen tially. a game of action.. There is no sitting around waiting-for birds to fly past you, which is a" hard job for a nervous man. In chicken shooting the hunter, is roaming through fields and meadows; and this rambling around on a perfect autumn day, with a smart dog in front of you, is in itself a pleasure.

Ruth's Love for Base Ball Is Responsible for His Great Success Has Colorful Career NEW YORK, Oct. 15. Edward P. Duffy, who Las known "Rah" Ruth nr manv vurt says there never has been a figure in base ball so colorful as Ruth. Scientists have studied this remark. able athlete to discover where his mighty ability starts. Where it will end is beyond the knowledge ot even these wise men. But all the efforts of scientists and other students of Ruth, will not exolain half as much as the under standing of the big fellow's leve of the came. In war, love and business success ful men have been those who desire to do, and do it. So it has been with Ruth. His success can easily be traced through his desire to play ball. After he came out of St. Marys Industrial school and joined the In ternational league, hs became the sensation of the circuit as a left- handed pitcher and an extraordinary. hitter-. for a pitcher. He then want ed -o Play ball all the time, just as many boys do. During practice ses sions, he never missed a turn at the bat, and he was ever ready to play the outiield and tirst base. Ail-Around Player. This natural desire to play had been increased by the athletic train ing the brothers at M. M.rys gave him he was catcher, pitcher, first baseman, 'outfielder and everything else there and when Jack Dunn of the International league club was tnarde guardian for the minor youth he could not be held in check He wanted to bat all the time, and thought his natural position was at first base. But Dunn figured that a first-class southpaw twirle was needed for his club and the young Ruth became a pitcher. So long as that was his job in base ball, according to the dicta of his superiors, Ruth set out to be the best, and as a crude minor leaeuer he defeated all the major league clubs that played exhibition games, in Baltimore. When the Red box boueht him from Dunn and sent him to Provi- Waters iwm that we participated in one fall. Two of us spent the night in this straw stack, so as to be on the job bright and early the morning of opening day, a procedure that is hardly neces sary in these days of the automobile. At the time we occupied lower berths in the straw pile it was a case of traveling by horse and buggy to the shooting grounds, a mighty slow type' of travel for impatient hunters, So sleeping outdoors the night be fore the big day was the logical stunt. But who minds a few incon veniences or hardships when the game is prairie chicken shooting? Th6 sight of a couple of plump birds tumbling into the stubble as your 12-gauge roars makes you forget yeiur troubles in a huffy. The 12-gauge is a popular gun among chicken hunters. Most gun ners use No. 6 shot for these birds, although some fellows prefer Ss. No. 7 1-2 chilled shot is also used con siderably, and we have seen many a bird brought down by hunters shoot ing this size shot Whatever the size, by all means use the ordinary soft shot, and as a result your birds will be in better shape for eating. Practically all the states in the middle west have a small bag limit on prairie chickens. In Indiana you can kill five a day from October IS to-November 1, while Illinois limits the.hunter to three a day. Michigan has no open season this year. Three prairie chickens a day is not much of a bag, but fortunately the number of birds 'Wiled is not the whole thing inf-jthjeken shooting. The true out doorsman who is always trying to find some excuse to get into the coyhtry welcomes the prairie chicken season because it takes him outdoors during one of the most delightful seasons of the year. A. walk through fields and woods in October, when every breath of air you breathe makes you feel like a million dollars, lunch on a carpet of leaves with' your faithful dog curled up beside you, all the apples you can eat and all the sweet cider you can drink at the farrn house along the road, are some of the 0thr comppnsatins for, the prairie chicken htirite'r'ia" October. dence as a pitcher, Ruth kept in sisting he was a hitter rather than a pitcher, but as he was a good hurl er nobody paid any attention to him, for maragers figured on us ing nim in Important games, where not only his twirling hut also his hitting gave them the stror.gest pos sible lineuo. During his years with the Red Sox Ruth played in numbers of exhibi tion games in different sections of the east. Even when he was a star pitcher the Babe never missed one of these games. Wants to Win. As hard as Ruth played this season helping the Yankees to win the pen- ant, he was no more strenuous than in those exhibition games. He was always out to win and to knock the ball out of the lot Semi-pro pitchers and minor leaguers even in those days knew Ruth as a mighty clouter. In fact the description of the Bam bino passed about was that "he knew nothing but hitting and pitching, and knew all there was to know about those things." ' In a pinch, with their reputations at stake, the hurlers would often pass Ruth to ' first, On these occasions Ruth fumed and fretted and abused the pitcher who would not let him get a whack at the ball. Finally, in 1918, the management of the Red Sox took notice of the big fellow's determination to become a hitter and it began to listen to him, with the result that he played first base and the outfield when he was not pitching. A Winning Pitcher. . That year he won 13 games as a pitcher out of 20 and batted .300, but his home runs were not so many. The next year he won his battle with his superiors and he ' only twirled 14 contests, nine of which he won. He batted out 29 circuit drives and had an average of .322. His career as a Yankee then besan. His earnestness and sincerity have not lessened a bit. Those qualities have carried the gre.-t slugger to un heard of heights ii 'home run hit ting, 54 of them m 1920 and 59 this year, more than twice as many as two years ago. In iyi9 he said be would go beyond the 29, and he did; in 1920 he maintained that he would beat 54, and he did. Several times during the last season, m critical games, when it seemed that the fortunes of the Yankees would not include a pen ant, Ruth rose to the occasion and batted out a Victory, which kept his uud in me race. Harvard Opposes Move to Banish Hammer Throw Test Harvard is opposed to any attempt to banish the hammer throw from in tercollegiate track competition. Op ponents of the big weight tossing event have for years been trying to legislate u out ot existence, but so far have been unsuccessful.1 During the last meeting of the Intercollegi ate Track, association Lawson Rob ertson, head coach of the University of Pennsylvania team, backed a movement that the hammer throw be left out of the meet in 1923, but did not gain enough votes to abolish it. Harvard and Yale, when they meet next spring, will take par in 15 events instead of the 13 which have gov erned their meetings of the last few years. The adoption of the discus and javelin throws by the intercol legiate association means that both colleges will have to follow suit and have men proficient in them, so that they will have teams on equal foot ing with the remaining members of the organization when their annual meet is held Harvard Never Realized Holy Cross Played' Cripple Two days before Holy Cross came down from Worcester to play Har vard in the October 1 game, in which the Purple scared Harvard by hold ing the Cambridge team to a 3-0 score, Jim Wallingford, the Catho lics' quartersback, injured his right leg so severely it was believed he would not be able to play. News of the injury was kept under cover and he started and finished the game, playing every minute, backing up the line.admirably, and also carrying the ball on line plunges. New York, Oct IS. Pete Herman, twice holder of the bantam titlf, wants another chance to recain Ins lost laurels. rets, now In the keeping oi ') Buff. Although the d.ci.iYi J k his crown away was a dl- I poor one in the opinion of f ! Johnny that took cidedly poor one in the opinion of good judges, Herman accented th verdict with good grace. He made no protest, but he does think that in view of the close decision he should have another match without delay. Herman says that the reason he is in such a hurry tor another crack at Buff is that he is afraid the little fellow will get beaten and lose the title to some bantam who would not be willing to meet all comers in its defense. Although the fans are somewhat in doubt regarding Herman's status as a fighter there is no doubt in the minds of the boxer themselves. All look upon him as the best man in the class, and if any of Herman's rivals should happen to wrest the title away from Hull, it is not at all likely that Herman ever get a match for the champioTi ship. 1 Herman admits that the other contenders have rights to he con sidered. He declares that he does net want to hog it, and to prove this he is willing to sign a contract in fipht anv man Tex Rickard select's three weeks after his bout with Btfi f the promoter will put on another Buff-Herman contest. He says that he will not only agree to battle Joe Lynch, but will be most reascnaDie in his terms. As Rickard is anxious to s'age a championship match, it is likely that ' he will give the men another engage ment It is only in the midget divi sion that the promoter can find a champion willing to risk his honors in a decision bout. From Dempsey down to Kilbane none of the other itle-holders is available just now, , so it looks like Herman and Buff again." ' The thing that appeals to Rickard is the tact that Herman is one fighter who is not afraid to risk his lrurels. Pete has taken more chances than any other title-holder since the present boxing law went into opera tion. He met Buff less than tw"k months after he had regained thr title from Lynch. J Another Herman-Buff mafeff. should be an even better card than the first one. When the recent match was made the fans looked upon it as a rather one-sided affair because of the difference in weight. Now that Buff has shown chat a few pounds do not make a great dal of difference to him there is mi re in terest in a return bout than there was in the first meeting. -ut.rv Intersectiond Games Brewing Intersecticnal foot ball is becom ing more and more of a topic among alumni and followers of the big mid dle western colleges. The example of Notre Dame's yearly trips to West Point and the recollection of Michi gan's rivalry with Pennsylvania du ing the years preceding the wolvi lies return to the Big fen confer- ence are not so much responsible fof the recent wave of interest as Chi cago's coming game at Princeton October 22, the first of a two-year home and home series. Both Illinois and Dartmouth alum ni are quietly making advances which may result in a similar series between Urbana, III., and some large eastern city, and Minnesota also has entered the field of speculation, with rumors rife in Minnesota over, chances for a series with one of the1 big eastern schools. Grid Tilt Between Infantry Sch o o 1 i aiiia nuaiiui, i. iv.vi a New York, Oct. IS. The Army-Naval game will not annua be the! only great inter-service clash of.ifi season.
