Dewitz Ran Nineteen Yards in
Second Quarter Through
Broken Field For
Touchdown.
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.

'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.

horses in the world's history; one
of the biggest money winners in the
history of the world; the sire of
Lolink, the sire of countless other
racing wonders; the sire whose
bloodlines now are ranked among
the bluest of the turf.
"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."

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. '

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.

of an oat field was the starting place

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.

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.

Intersecticnal foot ball is becom
