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

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.

. , 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.

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:

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.

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.

points and a second team 50 points

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. Sciple,
639; George Kennedy, 637; Ted
