CREICHTON'S. PLUCKY FIGHT Oollage Boys Make Game Resistance to Btrong Professional Team. UPHILL WORK AGAINST HEAVY 0DDS Outwelghed and Outplayed, the Little Fellows Make Stubborn Work of Vietory is In the most stubbornly contested game of foot ball witnessed In Omaha this season, the Dodge Light Guards of Councll Bluffs, at Vinton park yesterday afternoon, de- feated the eleven representing Crelghton university by a score of 11 to 0. Perhaps the largest crowd of the year as- sembled at the Vinton park to witness this game. It was estimated that the crowd wpproximated 4,00 people and as one side or the other made good plays, lusty cheers greeted the players. From beginning to end the game was fought on its merits, and the issue was in doubt for some time until the Guards had made their first touch- down and then it was felt that the contest was won and It then remalned a question to whether Crelghton would score again or not Crelghton fought a plucky, up-hill game, but was outclassed and outplayed. With these odds against them, the Crelghton players jumped into every scrimmage with ® determination to do or die. It is only just to sy, therefore, that Crelghton gave & superb exhibition of up-hill foot ball The Guards gained much more ground than Creighton, despite the fact that the visitors from across the muddy river were fre- quenly and fearfully penalized. Holding was the most common fault and a number of times the Guards were penalized for twenty yards. They were rhen unable to make the gain and it was on these oc- caslons that Crelghton got the ball, either through the fact that the Guards had been unable to make thelr gains upon these oc- casions or becanse of the fact that the Guards were compelled 1o punt. Punting Was Good. In the punting game, both M. Thomas and Creighton did good work, sending the oval upwards to dizzy helghts and covering from twenty to forty yards.

Y Crel punts struck where the backs could not get it and the ball had rolled nearly seventy yards before it was secured outside the limits of the fleld. At the beginning of the game the Guards had the south side of the field and the wind favored neither side to cny great extent, as It was blowing from the southwest, lat- erally across the gridiron. Creighton kicked oft to Stewart, who made a return of twenty yards before he was downed. After M Thomas had made ten yards on the next play the Guards were penalized twenty yards for holding. After Stewart and M. Thomas had recovered nine yards, M Thomas punted thirty-five yards to Calla- han, who made a return of ten vards. After Crelghton had negotiated six yards on three downs Creighton was called back for a try at goal from placement. The ball was on the 40-yard line, and while it safled over that distance nicely, yet it fell to the left of the south goal posts. M. Thomas then punted from'the 25-yard line, covering thirty-five yards, to Welch, who was un- able to make m return, owing to a good tackle by Willlams. Guards Smash the Line. Then Creighton made eight yards in four downs, following which Creighton punted After the Guards had made seventeen yards on seven downs. M. Thomas sig- nalled for a punt, but Creighton got off- side and was penalized five yards and no punt was made, as Thomas simply stood still and held the ball. Then the Guards kept up their work through the line and when the ball had been placed on Creigh- ton'’s 45-yard line a fumble occurred and Creighton got the ball. Callahan then at- tempted & run because his teammates evi- dently did not catch the signals correctly, Since this was against the rules for the quarterback to run with the ball when not inside the 2-yard line, the ball was called back and Creighton was penalized twenty yards. Creighton then punted twenty-five vards and Rutherford got the ball, but was unable to make & return, On the next scrimmage the most r tional play of the day occurred was signaled, and inding a nice big hole in the tackle's position, he went through, and was fast speeding toward the opposing goal line with absolutely no one in front of him The doughty little Callahan was upon his heels, however, and as the with bated breath awaited the outcome Callahan got on his sprinting clothies and went down the field on the heels of the fast fleeted Stewart. After Stewart had covered forty-five yards, and was within ten yards of the\Crelghton gosl line, Cal- lahan made a final lunge and grasped Stew- | art around the legs, and both went to the ground. And then the crowd ar en masse and cheered Callaban to the echo. For First But the Guards were not 10 be denled, however: Stewart was again glven ball, and went through the line for yards. Richmond added two more, and on the mext p he was sent over for a touchdown at the extreme northwest cor- ner of the field. No goal resulted from this, as the atlempt at a kickout did not result in a fair catch On the next cupying the south Seore, goal, the kickoff was After Creighton on two downs, thirty yards to Stewart five yards.

At lthe beginning of the second half the Gunill had the north goal to defend, and the Rickoff landed in McGovern's capacious paws, and he made a good return of fifteen yards. After making four yards on two downs, Creighton was penalized fifteen yards, and then Crelghton punted thirty yards to Richmond, who was unable to make any return. On seven downs the Guards then negotlated thirty-seven yards, but during the last three downs a penalty of ten yards had been lmposed, and the Guards were unable then to make the necessary distance, and the ball went to Creighton near the center of the fleld. While the opposing teams were wrangling over the question as to whether the Guards had made the necessary gain, Welch pro- cured the ball and broke through the line in an unguarded moment, but was tackied before he could score a touchdown, the tackle belng made by Chestnut. On the next play Mullaley fumbled, and the ball went to Richmond. After Pell had made three yards, the Guards were again penal- ized twenty yards, and thenm, after the Guards had recovered meven yards, M. Thomas punted thirty-five yards to Mc- Govern. On the next play Kehoe lost two yards, Welch falled to galn, and Crelghton punted twenty-five yards ‘to Pell, who made a good return of fifteen yards. Guards Playing Ball, At this peint the ball was near the cen- ter of the fleld and the Guards began playing with a vim and snap that had not chavacterized their previous play to the same extent as it mow did. In rixteen scrimmages the Guards took the ball by straight foot ball to within two yards of | the goal line, covering a distance of fifty- this serles of plays, Pell was called upon take for the first time and he made When the ball was within triking distance of the goal line,"William: Pell were called upon repeatedly.

At this point time was up, with the ball on Crelghton’s thirty-yard line and in its possession After the game was over, Umpire Pixley, who gas officlated in seven of Nebraska's games this year, sald that the Crelghton- Guards game was the hardest fought game he had witnessed this year. The game then & Kickoff, with Creighton oo- | Was frequently delayed because the crowd pressed on to the fleld. It was Pixley's opinion that Creighton was outweighed and outplayed, but that the Creighton lads put up a plucky, uphill fight, Callahan, in Pixiey's opinion, did not play in his accustomed form. Welch, Mullaley and Me- Shune played a good game, The state of lowa, nor the entire west, for that aatter; never turned out a better all-round athlete than Pell, the glant tackle who played on the Guards team yesterday He wi connected with the Drake university eleven for four years, during which time he gradually worked his way up to the position of (he star athiete of the entire state. Willlams, who played guard for the visiting team, is a former member of the lowa State univer- sity eleven, and has been this year's coach of the star eleven at Highland Park of Des Motnes, which administered such a stunning defeat to Creighton, Crelghton Plays Pluckily. Against such 'a combination of players as these, the Creighton eleven was cut- classed. At that, however, a superb ex- hibition of plucky foot ball ‘was atforded by the local eleven and every Inch of ground made by the visitors was secured only after the Very hardest kind of work.

York has played the leading high schools of the state, scor- ing 161 points to opponents’ 0. It was ideal foot ball weather. The crowd was the largest that ever attended a foot ball game here. The Des Moines players were loud in their praises of the treatment by the crowd and. team. The game was free from wrangling and clean and swift from start to finish. York outweighed and out- played its opponents at every point. At no time was York's goal in danger.

PLAY IN LAST HALF IN LINCOLN TERRITORY Capt § City Boys, However, Put rdy Defense and the Locais Are Unable to Gonl Line. Cross Although the doughty lads from the cap- ital city played equally as well as they did two weeks ago when they defeated Omaha to the tune of 2 to 0, Omaha's defense had improved so marvelously that in yester« day's contest at the Driving park neither team was able to score. Both teams were in good condition and the game would cer- talnly have afforded the spectators a splen- did exhibition of foot ball had the fleld been dry. But as it was each was seriously handicapped in displaying its best game by the two inches of snow which covered the ground. Lincofn employed substantially the same tactics that it did two weeks ago, namely, bucking the lines in mass formation, fully confident that it would be successful Omaha, however, resorted to frequent end runs, which netted most of the gains and which were hardly attempted in the pre vious game. Omaha's defense was the best it has exhibited this season as speclal at tention had been paid to this in the train- ing. Never once did Lincoln succeed in an attempt to circle the ends, Indeed, the runner was almost always tackled behind the line for a loss. Lincoln's defense was good, however, and Omaha often made slight headway against it and was forced to punt. The punting was a prominent fea- ture of the game and neither side can be said to have excelled in it. The game was really like a spirited but indecisive tug-of- war, as the playing was main'y confined to the middle of the field and the ball alter- nated between the teams. Never once was Omaha's goal line even remotely menaced Lincoln's was jeopardized when the ball reached 4-yard line, but a good punt soon relleved it from immediate dan- ger. The playing was almost wholly In Lincoln's territory the game can be best judged by this fact Lincoln Backs Lincoln's halfbacks were men in the Barwick covered the most ground and was engaged in every play and at critical moments the ball was entrusted to him. Fields, the captain, did steady, punting. Benson was the runner for Omaha, frequently gaining around left end. He was also sure and reliable in tackling and was usually the first dbwn the fleld at the kickolf or following punts. Stein and Loftus made many gains and djd vallant work in Harry and Frank Putnam were responsible for many of Lincoln's losses as they often broke through and tackled behind the line. Rogers was active and per formed excellent defensive work. Yoder played a fast, steady game ‘The game was somewhat remarkable i the fact that no player was hurt and the end of the game found both teams intact with the same men playing they had started with. once cel. easi'y the best team. sure defense. Touchdown Is Disallowed. Omaha won the tossup, chose the west goal and at 3:15 Lincoln kicked off to ¥. Putnam, who fumbled the ball, but man aged to recover it. Shields was sent around left end, but failed to gain. Steln dashed through right tackle for two yards, Thomp- son punted thirty yards to Barwick, who here performed the sensalional feature of the game, gathering in the ball and skill- fully dodging through the crowd of players and evading all tacklers, ran fifty yards to the goul posts. Unluckily for Lincoln he had stepped outside the field in avolding tacklers and the ball was brought back to the middle of the field by the referee and glven to Lincoln, Lincoln attempted an end run, but Ben- son glided in and tackled the runner for a loss. "H. Putnam did the same on the next play-and Flelds punted to Yoder, who was downed in his tracks. Shields gained two yards around left end and again one yard through the line. ‘Thompson punted and Cosner Jumped up and touched the ball, which was speedily captured by H. Putnam. This netted Omaba twenty yards., Shields and Burnett ®ained, but the ball was given to Lincoln on downs. Cameron was sent through for three yards and Birkner for two. Barwick lost three on an end run, being tackled by Fleming. Fields fell back for a punt, but Instead of punting, ran around right end. He galned, however, but two yards. Lin. coln was penalized twenty yards for hold- ing. Flelds punted to Yoder, who returned ten yards. Shields galned two, lLoftus three, Burnett six and Thompson five yards. Omaha was penalized ten yards for holding, but Benson made a splendid run around left end for twelve. Thompson punted thirty yards to Barwick, who ad- vanced ten jards but fumbled and Rogers fell on the ball. Burnett made two good &ains, Thompson punted twenty yards but the ball went outside. F. Putnam tackled hree yards behind the line and the ball soon went to Omaha on downs. Burnett was given the ball and sent around right end. With the splendid In- terference afforded by Loftus he covered twelve yards. Here the the ball on Lincoln's 2-yard line. 0 to 0. Second Half, The second half began by Thompson's kicking forty yards to Barwick, who passed the ball to Cameron, executing a criss-cross play. Cameron advanced yards and made ‘five on the next play Birkner was uti!ized three successive times for gains of two yards each. His fourth effort falled to net a gain, and Fields punted thirty, yards to Benson, who re- half ended with | Score, | was played In Lincoln's territory. Punts were frequently exchanged. Once Omaha forged near to Lincoln’s goal, but the ball went to Lincoln on its four yard line. Flelds promptly extricated the team from this precarfous position by punting twenty- five yards, The half ended with the ball in Lincoln's possession on its 35.yard line, Score, 0 to 0.
