It it tint the (all ieaonr Sure, it ii, and not only are the leaves falling, but alio itate high school foot ball teami that were perched on the champion hip tree at the start of the gird sea son. Last week witnessed the tuwfble of three state foot ball aggregations, and this week may ee the fall of two or three more. Who knows? North Tlatte looms up as the strongest high school team in the state. Last week it defeated Colum bus, 16 to U, thereby keeping its slate clean. The North Platte aggre gation, with the exception of three or four smaller schools throughout the state, is the only team in Ne braska that has not been defeated nor held to sT tie score thus far this season. Friday afternoon North Platte plays Curtis on the tatter's grid and is expected to emerge victorious. Grand Island Eliminated. Commerce's 14 to 14 tie game with Grand I s ran d practically eliminated the latter from the state race. The Bookkeepers were routed from their championship slumber by the South High Packers, so a 14 to 14 game against Grand Island put the skids under the Islanders for the remainder of the season. Lincoln High pulled the unexpect ed r, n Um n.ril rrrirtimn 1 ,. V A.... vhen it took a fall out of Cam bridge, 1920 champs, theretmelimiri ating the latter from the state race. It was the first defeat the Cambridge team has tasted for two seasons ?nd it was a hard pill for the last year champs to swallow. Lincoln defeated Cambridge, 6 to 0, in one of the hardest fought foot ball games among high school teams of the season. While Lincoln has not suffered defeat thus far this year, it was held to a tie score by the York gridsters, and. as far as having a clear claim to the title is concerned must take a back scat. York "Held Lincoln to Tie. This same York team that held Lincoln to a tie score shattered Uni versity Place's dreams for a cham pionship team when it defeated the University squad, 13 to 7. Tckamah won from Walthill, 26 to 14, last week. . The Tekamah eleven has not lost a game this sea son, but can hardly be placed in the same class with North Platte or Lincoln. Leigh, another undefeated team, defeated Decatur, 82 to 7, last Fri day. Alma, Polk and Bancroft also have yet to taste defeat this year. Cobb Hitting .399 In Winter League San Francisco, Nov. 15.

I inWUM I llf-IU n - mm ill,, m t m mm mm a w SSarrifflt LTa.fi F lnteritatignaT-ttgys . , New York, Oct. 30. BASEBALL is taking its usual fall vacation from the spotlight.- With the world's series over and foot ball in full bloom the nationat craze . is dormant, so to speak. Yet the rumor factory, always busy, turns out a few new ones now and then. One of the latest of . these has to do with the Yankees and their probable future management. With Miller Huggins unsigned and much loose talk about how Ruth and Peck "assisted" him in running the club during the latter days of the season, the Broadway fans would not be surprised should Ruppert and Huston name a new manager. Who will it be? One wild rumor said that it might be Ruth. There's small chance, even though the Babe is considered a smart and capable player by the Yankee owners. Then who? More than a year ago the Yanks looked longingly toward Uncle Wil bert Robinson. Will they look again? It remains to be seen. Then there's Ed Barrow. And the mention of Barrow is no idle one. 'Tis worth while considering. 'Tis said by those in whisperers' row that Joe O'Brien, erstwhile secretary of the Giants, is to go to the Y'anks as business man ager and that Barrow will be made manager of the club. 'Tis also said that Huggins will go to the Cards.. Take the product of the rumor factory for what it is worth. When Rocky Kansas missed several ponderous swings in succession in his bout with Lew Tendler ringside fan turned up his coat collar. "Phew," said the fan, "there's sure an awful draught in here." OLD Alonzo Stagg has a good reason if he chuckles contentedly to himself now and then. . The manner in which his Chicago Maroons tied the tail of the Princeton Tiger into knots was a triumph for Alonzo. a great thing for Chicago university and a big boost for western foot ball. The Maroons, incidentally, have an even chance at this writing to cop the Big Ten title, and when the foot ball season comes to an end they may be pointed to as the ranking western team. They must beat out Ohio state to get away with it The eastern trip of the Maroons this year w ill doubtless lead to an other invasion and it is practically certain that Chicago will endeavor to schedule an eastern team in the Windy City next fall. The growing ten dency toward intersectional foot ball is one of the best stimulants the game has had in years. Let's have more of it. f - THE return to the draft by the minor leagues as a whole will be urged by the leaders of the majority faction when the National association gets together in the Bison City December 6. Getting along without the draft by the majors has satisfied some few, but the big majority want it back and they want it brought back unani mously. Of course, leagues like the Class AA's have some fine points to make in the matter and they can, in most cases, get along without the draft. But take the International league, for instance. The run-away race made-by the Baltimore club this year knocked the props from under inter est in the iest of the International cities. Jack' Dunn, a good base ball man. fought against the draft and succeeding in keeping it from his league. Yet the league is sufferig now. The majors couldn't take Dunn's players and the fans around the circuit blamed the absence of the draft for much of the success Dunn had. even though but one player could have been pried loose from the Orioles through the draft. It .would be better for a league as unbalanced as the International to Teturn to the old style. t " Wolverines and Gophers Will Clash Saturday for Possession of 'Little Brown Jug'PrizedTrophy Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov, 15. Be fore a crowd expected to duplicate that which witnessed the memorable Ohio State battle here last month, Michigan and Minnesota will engage November 19 in their annual en counter. Upon the outcome will hinge possession of "the little brown jug," one of the most prized trophies of the gridiron sport. The Michigan-Minnesota game lias become one of the traditions of each school. On the eve of the Michigan-Wisconsin clash at Madison last week Coach Fielding H. Yost, Michigan mentor, received the following tele gram from "Doc" Williams, the Min nesota coach, that speaks volumes in a language best understood by alum ni and students of the two institu tions. "What the Harvard and Princeton games arc to Yale, the Michigan and Wisconsin games are to Minnesota. The Western Conference schedules are so arranged that any team is lia ble to lose an early or mid-season game, but it makes no difference to Minnesota what the outcome of other games, the contest with Michigan is looked forward to as the foot ball classic of the season. The great bat tles in bygone years between Min nesota and Michigan helped make foot ball history in the middlewest. Iowa Officials To Discuss Game Between Buckeyes Iowa City, la., Nov. 15. The matter of a proposed Iowa-Ohio State post season foot ball game will be referred to the faculty board of Iowa University for ac tion on the evening of Novem ber 16, H. H. Jones, foot ball coach at the university an nounced tonight. Clean, hard playing and a high stan dard of sportsmanship always has been a characteristic of these games. Above all other .trophies we prize the little brown jug. We will do our utmost to bring it back to Minnesota this year, but may the best team win." - , Feature Game. , For real color and display of spirit the Michigan-Minnesota engagement outshines any other foot ball game on the Wolverine schedule, in the opinion of the sports' followers. Rivalry always has been of the keen est. The jug that has become emble matic of victory originally, was used by the Yost squad as a water con tainer in 1903. That year Michigan went to Minnesota and after the two teams had battled to a 6 to 6 tie the Michigan jug was found to be miss ing. , The Minnesota mentor, when ques tioned, announced it had been ap propriated by his team and forever afterward would stand as a trophy in Michigan-Minnesota contests. The jug was retained by Minnesota until the next meeting between the Wol verines and Gophers in 1909. Yost brought the jug back to Ann Arbor after that hard-fought contest and kept it the following yearwhen Min nesota was turned back by a small score. ' The teams did not meet again un til 1919, when Michigan bowed and the little brown jug went back to Minnesota. Yost returned it to Ann Arbor last year, however, when the Wolverines nosed out their oppon ents at Minneapolis. Although still called "the little brown jug," the trophy bears re semblance to its former self in shape only. From ordinary brown it has been transformed into a many hued piece of earthenware. On one side is the block "M" of Michigan, on the other is the block "M" of Minnesota. The scores of games played between the two schools also are shown. Expect Large Crowd. : The feature spectacle of this year's game will be the Michigan block "M." The letter, measuring about 75 feet in height and more than 100 feet in width, is constructed of yel-; low ribbon draped about the seats in Ferry Field stadium. Blue rib bon forms the background. Building of the letter requires several days of work and is the feature of the last game of the season here. I wo weeks before the came ap proximately 30,000 seats had ' been sold, according to announcement by Coach Yost. Since that time the or ders have been pouring in and the 42,000 seats in the stadium will prob ably be occupied when the game starts. Michigan and Minnesota have en gaged in 11 gridiron contests to date. Michigan has won seven of these and one has been a tie. The record of scores follows: Mich.

Iowa State College Goes in for Boxing Athletic Director Mayser Seek ing Inter-Collegiate Tour ney for Cyclones. ' Ames. la., Xov. 15. Iowa State collrce is seeking an intercollegiate boxing tournament with another college, according to Charles V. Mayser, director of physical training. If this tournament materializes, he says, the local institution will be the first college in the middlewest to adont boxing as an intercollegiate iiort. The bouts, Director Mayser says, will be held according to inter collegiate rules with heavily padded gloves. Director Mayser believes that i larger percentage of students are exercising daily at the Iowa State college than at any other college in the state. Dining the past season, 1,200 boys exercised every day, out side of the varsity men. Mr. May ser is making strong efforts to get the whole student body interested iu intramural athletics. Last season the college had leagues of basket ball, comprising 130 teams. Practice began at 5 o'clock in the morning on account of the, gymnasium being used for regu lar class work during the day. Most of the games were played in the eve ning. , The college now nas- leagues in basket ball, boxing and swimming. Horseshoe pitching was added to the list of intramural athletics at the beginning of the season. Courts have been established and arrange ments are being made for a dual meet with the horseshoe pitchers of Drake university. This tournament of two games, one at Ames and an other at Dcs Moines, will be played under national horseshoe pitching rules. ' Iowa State college, Director May ser says, is always anxious to take up any sport' which will get . the mass of students interested. "Our idea," he says, "is to have 2,000 or 3,000 students exercising m one or more athletic events daily. Pesek's Share of Purse Is Held Up -, vrl- Knv. IS.

Co-Eds At Iowa University Say They Work Too Hard to Win T Iowa City, la., Nov. 15. Women students at the University of Iowa are complaining that they have to work too hard to get an athletic let ter in comparison with the sale stu dents. "If men had to do what women have to do to win an "I," few men would be wearing the athletic let ter in comparison with the male stu of Dcs Moines, president of the Women's Athletic association. She explains that a man gets an "I" for winning a first in a dual meet or a-point in a conference meet. A woman who is highest point winner in an athletic meet scores 100 points toward an "I," but it takes 1,000 points to win the letter. The woman who scores second place gets 75 points, third 50 points and 10 points are given for entering the contest. To win an "I" a co-ed must be a member of th Women's Athletic association and to qualify for mem bership it is necessary either to hike 25 miles, swim seven and one-half hours in half-hour periods within six weeks' time, or paddle a canoe to Loralvill and back tour times.

Omaha National Bank and Nourse Oil Bowling Teams Each Bowl Over 3,000 Mark- Wesley High Rolling their best games of the season, the Nourse Oils and the Omaha National bank bowling teams of the Greater Omaha league, established a season's record in their postponed match at the Omaha al leys recently when both squads bowled over 3,000, the Oils closing the contest with 3,007 pins to the Banks,-3,005. The Bankers started out' strong when they copped the first game with a total of 1,020' sticks to the Oilers' 985. The second game also went to the Bankers, 994 to 985, but in the final affair the Nourse maple-push ers chalked up 1,037 pins, while the Bankers knocked down yyi. When the Nourse Oils and Omaha National banks rolled over the 3,000 mark they set a mark that the re maining teams in Omaha can shoot at for many weeks to come. Wesley of the Bankers was high man of the match when he collected a total of 647 sticks, a feat far above the average for this time of the season. In this first game Wesley knocked down 259 pins and spilled 194 in each his second and third games. (Jtlier bowlers who were over the 600 mark were K.
