1‘ > THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY TASK OF AWARDING HONORS End of Benson Finds the Foot Ball 8ituation Bomewhat Muddled, YALE HAS ENVIABLE RECORD IN THE EAST In the Weat, However, the Champlon- Ship Pennunt is Melng Torn to Shreds In the Cluteh of Sev- eral Eager Claimants, The foot ball season came to an end on Thanksgiving day with a number of bril Mant contests and the usual surprises that makes champlonship figuring a pe matter. About the situation in where Yale s Indisputably a gridiron Colossus, there i little to be satd except- ing in the way of prajse of of the slexing the east, one strongest elevens (hat has played and made | foot ball history, and to mention Penn sylvania’s final brace and the lamentably poor showing of the once powerful Indian team In the west things are different and to pick @ winner 1s a task like the thirteenth labor of Hercules. Not only are there several legitimate claimants for the honor ©f the champlonship to be reckoned with In selecting the leaders, but the determining of a grade of excellence among the tall onders with any degree of satisfaction s out of the question, for the reason that three of the strongest teams falled to schedule engagements with each other, and thers is 80 basis on which to estimate relative merit Yale profited well by the lesson of the preceding senson, when, In the match with the Tigers, the sons of Ell had the leather on the seventeen-yard line with down num- ber one and treated the spectators to an exbibition of three futile attempts to ad- vance the pigekin the necossary distance This year the men from New Haven had power in their attack, acquired by shifting beefy players from the line to the back fleld and drilling for speed, The result parent in the champlonship contests when the Ells invariably battered down thelr opponents’ forwards and carried the ball across tho last chalk for scores greater in the aggregate than any team in Yale's history bad be run up. Other Teama Compared. According to comparative records Prince- was ap mark ton has a shade the better of it in the com- | petition with Harvard. Against Harvard Yale made 28 points. Princeton was 29, but the Tigers retaliated by registering G polnts on a drop kick from the fleld, whilo the men from Cambridge were unable to earn a single point. It Is a matter of doubt If at the end of the senson Pennsylvania was not about as strong as sither Harvard or Princeton, although over- whelmingly defeated by the Crimson to- ward the middle of fall. Corneli outplayed the Tigers early in November, and Thanksgiving day, when the Ithacans lined up against the Quakers, they were badly beaten, the score being 27 to 0. Crities who admire the Pennsylvanians' style of play will undoubtedly argue that Harvard and Princeton, being practically evenly matched toward the end of the season, as indicated by the common con- test against Yale, and Princeton having been defeated by Cornell players, who in turn were overmatched by Pennsylvania, indicates pretty plainly that the Quakers are entltled to rank below Yale, in secoud place. But in concocting such a mixture of gridiron “dope’” they will have no assocl- ates other than their own followers. Three Teams Are Claimants. The situation in the west Is a tangled skein, with but few lead threads protrud- ing. Three teams put forth pretensions to championship honors and each of the trio has a eplendid record of games well won. They are Towa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Technlically the Northwestern lads have the right to pose as premlers, having tied with tho Hawkeyes on a memorable occasion at Rock Island a few days ago, when there ‘was money galore up on wagers that the Tlinl would not score, ‘but ouly tech- nlcally, as on any conslderation of the entiro season’s work the Evanston men will be but little better than “‘also rans."” Minnesota bases a claim to be top- notchers on the defeat of Wisconsin on Novembar 3, when the Badgers accumu- lated five points to the Gophers' six. The only comparison between Minnesota and HOW WEAK MEN ARE MADE The Yale score against | on | Towa fs taken from the games with North- western, the score In the Northwestern lowa match being 5-6 and in the North- western-Minnesota contest 0-21. Had it not been for the Thanksgiving day slump in the Northwestern gamo lowa might have taken the champlonship titls without reasonable question. Under the | circumstamces there is little to choose from amoug the taree elevens mentioned Again resorting to comparative scores, there Is little doubt that Nebraska leads | the cluss composed of Chicago, Northwest- |ern, Michigan and Iilinols. The Wolverines | have been defeated decisively by Chicago |and Towa. Stagg’s proteges have gone down before Northwestern and Minnesota, in tha latter Instance by a larger score than that made by the Gophers ngainst Nebraska, 1linols has been prey to all the elevens of | this class excepting Michigan and is not entitled to consideration. 1t Nebraska has « rival in the group Ic 18 Northwestern and the Minnesota score against the Evanston men, 21-0, s much more decisive than that which the same team In its best playing condition could make against the men from Lincoln, Record of Nebraskans, Under Coach Booth the university lads have made w record during the scason that brings credit to their foot ball instructors |and atbletic honor to the institution of learning. Until the contest with Minnesota the eleven had guarded their goal line from the attacks of opponents in each of the haif | dozen important matches preceding. Kan- sas and Missouri played a tie game, b to 5, |and Nebraska beat Kansas 12 to 0. Their {old rivals from Grinnell were defeated, 33 [to 0. The prowess of the team is to be | tound &s much in & new spirit that is being | manifested among tho players as in the couching. It is tho spirit of fight with | every man shoulder to shoulder, and may be an inculcation of the Princeton methods brought into the west by Coach Booth. @ success of the eleven has beon ap- ent in its effect on the undergraduates. New interest has stirred the hope of secur- lng & more promivent place among the toot ball leaders in succeeding years, and to attain this end unusual efforts are being | made to procure better foot ball facilities. | A petition is belng circulated among the business men of Lincoln and the university students and professors, having in view the retentlon of Coach Hooth In the capacity of head foot ball coun or, and his installa- |tion as a faculty member for the depart ment of athletics. The prospects are that the friends of the Princetonlan will have thelr way and that he will be given the asked for him. Booth is a veteran having acquired his first gridiron co at Andover, the school which sends so many remarkable players to Yale, He was & member of the Princeton 'varsity squad during his four-year college course, having played at center for the Tigers three years, aud on two champlonship teams. dents of the Semson, In reviewing the foot ball season one or | two incidents attract attention as being too | singular to be passed without comment. | One 18 the deterloration In the playing of | the Carlisle Indlans. A few years ago the Redskins seemed in a likely way to over- | take tbe palefaces In the science and t | tics of the gridiron. It was said by many of the critics that all the men from the reservation needed was a little longer time to master a system similar to those In vogue at Yale and Princeton. With the passing of a few seasons and the loss of many of the old players the Indians have gone back on the scale until their playing 18 1o better than would be expected of men who have the stremgth and agility and endurance, but lack the science and the power to grasp a system which men of in- fortor physique possess. The copperskins have had Yale and Princeton coaches, but they are not playing so well today as they did several years ago when their strength lay In having an eleven of sturdy men who had the advantage of many seasons work together. Another of the unusual occur- rences was the defeat of Princeton by Co- lumbia and by Cornell for the first time in gridiron history, GOOD SHOWING OF HIGH SCHOOL, Local Players Tie with Lincoln for State Champlonsh With the Thanksglving game against the Genoa Indians, the Omaha High school foot ball team clcsed one of the most successful seasons It has had since the game was first Introduced at the school ten years ago.

The style of play used has been of a mixed order, copled from that used by the foot ball teams of Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania universities, Tho team's de- fensive play has becn of the open style used by Yale and Princeton, while on offensive the Pennsylvania guardsback, both for end runs anl line bucks, has buen used almost exclusively and with telling effect.

There were few weak spots in- dividually, and the chlef fault of the eleven, It it can be called a fault, was lack of avoirdupois. It was in this respect that the Illinols men had the advantage. Coach Dan Taylor spent a good deal of time with the players and can find cause for elation in the team he turned out. It was better con- siderably than any of its predecessors, and there are enough of the old men who will return to play next year to make the prospect of a still stronger eleven for 1001 exceedingly bright. GOLF CLUBS STILL SWING Most of the Players, However, Devote Their Energy to Plans for Another Season. A good many members of the Country club took advantage of the splendid weather on Thanksglving day to visit the golf links and take a run over the course. Of late chilly weather has made playlng uncom- fortable for all but the athletic members and there has been a falling oft in the crowds which used to frequent the links in summer. The green committce plans to keep the course in good condition all winter for the benefit of the enthusiasts who baunt the lloks In spite of snow- covered ground and ley blasts. The green committee has under consid- tion several plans for the enlargement and Improvement of the course before next season. Some of the members think it ad- visable to combine the nine-hole course with the smaller six-hole course for wo- wen, makiag one of fifteen holes, which can be converted back If mecessary. An- other contemplated Improvement {s the sinking of a well to keep the greens watered through the hot weather. Among other arrangements the club has In mind for noxt season 18 a golf tourna- ment open to all the clubs of the Missourl reglon. Correspondence has been in pro- gress for several weeks looking to such gathering, and the prospect for perfecting the plan seems more tham favorable. Among tho cities which have clubs and are llkely to join in the competition are St. Joseph, St. Louls, Sloux Clty, Dubuque Lemars and Des Molnes. A part of the contemplated program will bo a match be- tyoen professlonals after the manner of eastern tournaments.

CLEAN FIGHT OF JACKSON AND QUEENAN Growing FPop ity of Boxing Con- tests Is Shown by Interest in ecent Bout—Meet of M- Govern and Jordan, Whether or not Tommy Ryan was prompted by personal feeling in making the statement, it 18 & fact incoutrovertivle nevertheless (hat his opinion of th of Fiizsimmons against Champlon Jeftries 1s of more than passing interest. Ryan has come to occupy & promiment position lin the ranks of pugilis and it is hardly likely that he could make bimself liable 10 adverse criticism by Buggesting that which he does not eve merely for the suke of venting a personal spleen. But be the motives actuating Ryan's etatement what they may, his expressed opinion relative to the merits of Ked Rob ert and the champlon s possessed of an argumentative fabric entitling it to con- sideration. In Omaba the little bomb Ryan has thrown into the pugilistic camp is glven the more attention and attracis the greater interest because the author is scheduled to participate in a boxing match here December 18 with Charlie Buras, Ryan asserts the bellef that if Fitzsim- mens should ever meet Jeffrics and fight him right he will have the better chance of winning the bout and regaining once mere the championship. The redoubtable Tommy proceeds to argue 1o favor of his opiuion 1n this wise: “There {8 only one way to fight Jeffries and that is to fight him clever, as Corbett did. There is no doubt whatever but that Corbett would have securod the decision over him down at Covey lsland only for that lucky punch iu the twenty-third round. The ex-champlon had a marked advantage on points and I oukht to know, tor I was in Jef's corner. The big fellow | was doing well, but he was as slow as a snail compared to Corbett, who would land repeatedly without a return, and that left hook of Corbett's would catch Jeft many times before he even thought it was com | ing. “As T sald before, 1 was In Jeffries’ cor ner, and when the fight was drawing so | close to an end and Corbett was doing 8o well 1 told Jeff that he would have to let out and try to land a deciding punch and this he did. Corbett, In scnding his feft hooks, draws his arm away back before he lets go. I moticed this from the start and told Jeft repeatedly to carry his left high and when Corbett started his left to hook in a short one and get there first. Thie he did in the twenty-third round and it was all off with Corbett. “I will give Jeffries credit for his great fight with Sharkey, for he was no fit man to enter the ring that night. His condition was the worst and a fit place for him was | his bed. I do not want to detract credit from Jeffries in any way, but I am simply | saylng that I like Fitz's chances, should they meet again." No more convineing proof of the growing popularity of the fighting game in this city could be cited than the big crowd which filled Washington hall Tuesday night of last week to witness the second fistic enter- tainment given by the Omaha Athletic club, with Young Peter Jackson of San Francisco and Perry Queenan of Chicago as the prin- ciples tn the main event. The exhibition affordcd by these men was most satisfactory and the extent to which scicentific boxing was indulged was indicated by the condi- tlon of Jackson and Queenan when they left the ring at the end of twenty fast rounds. The colored fellow had a slight cut on his lip and Queenan's nose and one of his eyes were slightly damaged, but beyond these minor injuries neither showed the effects of their sixty minutes of pum- meling h other. The fight was a remarkable one when cer- taln condiclons, not appreciated by the spec- tators of the bout, are considered. Both men were reputed to be determined fighters and both had a long string of victories to recommend him as the probable winner by computing the outcome of the fight on the basis of precedents established. It was not known, bowever, that Jackson had several pounds the better of the welght or that Queenan was suffering from an injured right hand, which made its use for other than guard an utter impossibility, In the light of this knowledge Queenan's showirg was little loss than marvelous and bis pluck (u going irto the ring against a foewan recog- nized among the welters as a fighter to be reckoned with would have done credit to the daring Spartans of old. Jackson's showing was somewhat dlsap- pointing. He did mot show any particular slgns ot brilllancy as a fighter, other than his dogged determination and his ability to stand large doses of punishment. As a matter of fact, it Queenan had not suttered the handicap of a useless right hand it is more than likely that he would have carted away a victory. Under the circumstances the best he could get was a draw, and this decision was really the only one pos- sible in a careful summing up of the fight as a whole. Inasmuch as there doesn't seem to be any immediate prospects of the top-notchers among the heavy-welghts agreeing upon conditions for & match, Interest now cen- ters in the probable meeting between Terry McGovern and Benny Jordan, the English champlon, for the featherweight champion- ship of the world. Such a contest is in prospect within the next two months and negotlations In progress glve every in- dication of being successfully closed. McGovern's manager, Sam Harrls, 1s more than anxfous that this bout be arranged In order to clinch the meeting he would be willing to give the Englishman a little bet- ter weight than 122 pounds at the ringside, which It would necessarily have to be in order to decide the featherwelght champion- ship unless consent to the over-weight were made by the lighter of the two fighters Jordan can make this weight and did so when he fought Eddie fantry in New York The fight, if arranged between McGovern and Jordan, will be for the world's cham- plonship, irrespective of the outcome of Terry's fight with Joe Gans In Chicago next month. McGovern 1s golng out of his class In taking on Gans and the fight cannot be consideral In the lght of a champlonship bout unless, of course, McCovern should happen to defeat Gans, In which case he would have a good clalm on the lightweight champlonship.
