Foot ball will become more firm ly entrenched in- the hearts of Ne braska fans this week when nearly every university, college and high school team completes another lap in the 1921 race for the highest hon ors on the gridiron. Four contests, two high school, one university and a college game are carded for Omaha this week end. Friday will see the Trinity col lege of Sioux City and the Univer sity of Omaha teams clash at League park, while North Platte and Creigh ton High rub shoulders on Creigh ton field. . .. Saturday the annual mix between the Marquette university of -Milwaukee and Creighton - tiniversitv will be staged on the local's field. Beatrice and Commerce Highs arc scheduled to play at League park in the afternoon. However, this con test may be moved up a day and played Friday afternoon. Huskers Play Notre Dame. The University of Nebraska, fresh from its two victories thus far this season, will resume training today for its scheduled game .with Notre Dame at South Bend, InB., Saturday. Without a doubt this contest will hold the center of interest among grid fans, not only in this section of the country, but in the east. Notre Dame has already tasted de feat this season, bowing before Coach Howard Jones' powerful Iowa LTniversity squad. A defeat is a defeat, but accord ing to statistics of the game, the South Bend warriors put up a hard battle against the Old Gold and for a part of the contest outplayed the Hawkeyes. Coach Fred Dawson of Nebraska has a wealth of material on hand this season, and while the Corn huskers have yet to meet a team capable of giving them a battle, it is considered by close followers of the school that the state university is represented by a powerful machine on the gridiron. i When Nebraska and Notre Dame mix it will test the strength of the Ncbraskans, both on the defensive and offensive. The Indiana gridsters have bucked up against stiff compe tition and displayed good foot ball. Nebraska has easily romped away with victories over the Wesleyans and Haskell Indians without being compelled to open up with its plays. Thus, the game Saturday will de velop, perhaps, whether Coach Daw son has as powerful a team this sea son as many alumni and student of the school believe. Creighton Plays Marquette. The Creighton-Marquettc game will be another grid clash the fans will glue their optics upon Sstttrday. Coach '"Mac" Baldrige's athletes have yet to taste defeat. The locals have won over South Dakota Wes leyans, Des Moines university and last "Saturday trimmed the Kansas Aggies, 14 to 7. ' According to reports received from Marquette's camp, that univers'tiy is represented by another strong team Creighton has a squad composed of speedy and heady foot ball play ers. The latter was demonstrated Saturday when Tip" Lon? sl'pped one over on the Farmers and raced 85 yards for a touchdown while the visitors stood and watched Long run for the goal line. Evidently the Aggies are not close students of the game when they permit an opponent 1 1 ' ' THE si in i n i- in MILTON ROMNEY. CAPT. CHUCK McGUIRE. CAPT. iiVlA J'OiV KECK. DONALD LudRlE. Chicago uarter back.) Chicago tackle. .Princeton tackle. Princeton quarter back. Individual duels tot gridiron renown are likely to provide n exciting accompaniment for the Chicago-Princeton game on the New Jerse eld next Saturday, when Capt. Stanton Keck of the Orange and Black and Capt. Charles McCuire meet at tackle positions, and Donald S Lourie, the Tigers' all-America quarter, opposes Milton Romney, the new held general " 6nd" of the Maroons. x to pick up the ball from under their nose and scamper down the field for a touchdown without trying to over take the opposition. Creighton also demonstrated in Saturday's game that it has a line that can compare with the best in the west. The backfield is speedy, but the entire team appears weak in breaking up forward passes. Ihis was proven when the Aggies threw over a barrage of passes in the last quarter, finally scoring a touchdown via this route. The local's two touchdowns came as a result of a fumble and the Ag gies' failure to know the rules of the game. True this is foot ball, but when the Creighton team advanced the ball to the Kansas one-yard line and then lost the oval on downs it seems that the team lacks the neces sary smashing attack when such an attack would score a wcll-earnea touchdown. Condon Good Punter. Had it not been for Condon's ability to punt on an average of 40 yards each time he was called upon to drop back and raise his educated toe heav enward, the result of the game might have been different. The University of Omaha plays Trinity here Friday in a game that will have no bearing upon the state conference race. Last Friday the Maroons and Midland college of Fre mont clashed at Fontenelle park. The contest ended with seven min utes left in which to play when the coach of the local team disputed a ruling of the referee. With the score, 6 to 3, in favor of the locals; Midland advanced the ball to Oma ha's 1-yard line where it was held for downs. The locals took the ball and Banner dropped back to kick out of danger. Hawks of the visitors plowed through the line, blocked the kick and fell on the ball for a touch down. Referee Morton ruled it a touch down, then later changed his deci sion, calling the play a safety, finally a touchback. "Babe" Ruth and Judge Landis to' Cross Bats Soon New York, Oct. 15. A possible break seemed imminent, tonight be tween Judge Landis, commissioner pf base ball, and Babe Ruth, home run king, over the order against world's series players participating in "barnstorming" contests. Ruth, after a telephone talk with Judge Landis today, expressed in tention to participate in an exhibition game with. the "Ruth All Stars" against the Buffalo Internationals at Buffalo tomorrow. Judge Landis declared that if the Yankee slugger engaged in the con test, "it will be a personal issue be tween Ruth and me to determine which man is the bigger in base tall." He added that if the contest is held, the Buffalo club also would be involved, as it would be competing against an ineligible player. t Wabash Blanked By Army Eleven New York, Oct. 16. A possible beat Wabash, 21 to 0, here. The westerners did not develop their ex pected power of attack and in the third quarter their defense crumbled, the Army piercing it for three touchdowns.

Navy's score was made up of a touchdown that came following a blocked kick, and the resultant goal, in the second period, and field goals from placement, kicked by King in the fourth period.
