SINGLE — CENTS COPY FIVE Four Nebraska Men on All-Missouri-Valley Team; What the Conference Meet at DesMoines Did CORNHUSKERS' POOR SEASON King Cole is Blamed by Many for the 3 Poor Showing Made by the Team. Off Beason Thought to Be the Result of Lack of Proper Subs, FOOT BALL SQUAD IS LARGE ! Too Little Attention Paid to the Rudi- ments of the Great Game. BENDER TOUTED FOR COACH Some Stren Studen Like Hin s Iifforts to Deat Them His Haskell Turkey Day. Don’t with Indians on LINCOLN, Nov “King" Cole be (Speclal) — Wil retained as coach of the Qornhur foot ball tearn next fall? Probably there {s not a student at the state school, or a man in Lincoln who takes an interest in Cornhusker foot ball, that has not asked this question several times during the last two weeks “Wiil Cole be hired again?' There have been some heated discussions over that query, and nobody has been able to an- swer It, for there Is no one who knows what the University Athletic board will A0 in regard to keeping Cole. The 1000 foot ball season Is regarded as a failare, and because of this fact there 1s a demand In certain quarters, both among the sttudents and among the out- side followers of the eleven, that a suc- cessor be secured for “King” Cole. By his work this fall” it is asserted, “Cole has proved a poor coach, and if Nebraska is to have a winning eleven next fall It must get a new man to train the players. This is Cole's third year here, and he has proved that he Is incapable of handling Cornhusker foot ball in the right way. This is a fair sample of the arguments that the anti-Cole people advance for hav- ing the Nebraska coach “fired.” Nebraska has not had a winning eleven this fall, and the blame for this is laid at the hands of the coach. Cole's critics have not stopped to consider that a coach can- not put out a winning eleven unless he Has the materfal. It is only the surface conditions that the outsiders see, and if there is not a winning eleven, of course, the coach is at fault. Nebraska is not thc only school at which & coach has been asked to resign when he has not been favored by a winning eloven. At Minnesota last fall Coach Wil- with a miserable amount of ma- terlal, produced a losing eleven. It was tied by Nebraska, defeated by Chicago and barely pulled out ahead of Ames and Lawrence. A glorious victory came in the final game of the fall with the Car- lisle Indians, and this served to appease the wrath of Willlams' critics, who had openly called for him to step aside. The demand for his reslgnation was so great, indeed, that had the Gophers not won from Carilsle Willlams would have been forced to quit. He was allowed to stay, however, and this fall gave Minnesota o winning eleven. At Michigan there was the same feeling toward Fielding H. Yost, although it was not o openly expressed. The Wolverines were losers and It appeared that the “hurry-up" coach had served his period of usefulness. But this fall Yost came back at his oritics with the most deadly of all arguments—a winning team—and took the champl: ship of the west and placed Michi- #an next to Harvard in the country's foot ball ranking. From Madison, Wis., come mutterings against Coach J. A. Barry, sim- flar to those heard in Lineoln against "King" Cole. Barry’s eleven falled to win many games and the rooters are sore. Bender Wants the Job. Johnny Bender's eleven defeatod the Cornhuskers and his partisans are declar- ing he is & better coach than Cole and just the man Nebraska needs next fall. Bender thinks he is the man who can give the Cornhuskers a winning eleve: @ has made & statement that he would like the position, but he has not applied for it, al- though he has asked to be made coach of the Cornhusker base ball team next spring. Bender weakened his chances Thanksgiv- i ing day, when he Incurred the disfavor of many Nebraska students. The former Corn- husker was so bent on winning that he ran on the field during the game, instructing his Indlans how to play. He made several of the Nebraska players mad, and the stu- dents in the bleachers hooted him. The Nebraska board never has considered Bender in & very favorable light as a coach and his chances of getting the job are thought to be slim. Bender, no doubt, oculd give Nebraska a winning team next fall. Nebraska seems to be deficlent in the rudiments of foot ball and the Cornhuskers have not met a tedm this year but what wag able to show more skill in tackling and bandling the ball, Something Is radically wrong with a sys. tem which shows up each fall short of players. Coach Cole has sixty men In uni- form nearly every night on the Cornhuske: fleld, and yet when a man Is wanted to er fill some position on the tearn the coach | has to devote time to teaching tackling and carrying the ball, which ought to be devoted to team work.

DES MOINES, Ia, Nov. Telegram.)—The Missoari Valley confor- ence on athletics was held today result- ing In the clamps being put on anything that tends to produce professionalism. Discussion of the rules and the annual meet was informal until late tonlght, because of smill attendance. One of the most important rules ad- opted related to graduace students from any department In a university who will not be allowed to take part in this con- ference. The rule 'was not retroactive, and will not go into foroe for two years. In the future a student after acquiring residence In one institution, and then registering at another cannot enter ath- letics in his original school without first acquiring a year's residence there again, No Leagues Allowed. The conference frowned down on the so-called ‘“champlonship” contests, and refused to allow a base ball league to de- termine the championship of the confer- ence. This will also apply to basket ball next year. The conference also desires to do away with ‘“scouting” at foot ball games. The place of holding the Mis- sourl Valley meet will be determined at another meeting. The basket ball schedule was finished late tonight. A. G. Smith of Towa was plaged on the eligibility committee in place of the late Lawrence Byers. Those attending were: R. G. Clapp and E. O. Eager of Nebraska, 8. W. Byer and Clyde Willlams of Ames, D. W.

After wrestling ten minutes in the third bout Reteree John Holden called time, the men having con- sented to a draw If neither secured a fall after ten minutes.

LAKEWOOD, N. J, Nov. 2.—Fred Herreschotf of the West Brook (L. 1) Golt club today won the annual autumn Lak wood golf tournament, defeating Walter J. Travis, Garden City, 2 up and 1 to go. The semi-finals of this last tournament event of the golfing season in the north brought together the “big four” among the el ern amateurs—Herreschoff defeating ¥ind- Jay 8. Douglass of the Nassau Country club, while Travis won a smashing game trom Jerome D, Travers of Montelalr, Herreschotf is & former national runnerup, but today won his victory from men who have won national honors. Herreschoff made such a poor start that his chances seemed dublous. The current changed at the turn and a stymle on the sixteenth hole tipped the scale in Herre- schotf's favor. Travis, who went out in 39 to Herreschoff's 41, bogey being 40, was | 2 up at the turn. The tenth and eleventh were halved in regulation allowances, Then Travis lost the twelfth by dubbing his second. The thirteenth was halved in bogey and the fourteenth was also a half. Travis nursed an easy putt on the fif- teenth, losing the hole in more than bogey and again squaring the contest. Herreschoff stymied Travis on the six- teenth and won the hole. Herreschott's second on the 405-yard seventeenth hole put him well on the green, while Travis falled to get down in two putts. The bye hole was played, being halved In a regula- tion five.

CRETE, Neb., Nov. 21.—(Spectal)~When the news of the defeat of Hastings collego by Peru was received by the Doane foot {ball team en route home from thelr Ot. Mary's game, it was unamiously voted to challenge the Bellevue college team for a post-season game to settle the” Inter- colleglate champlonship for 1909, Grand Island and Peru, both of whom were de- feated by Doane by the decisive scores of 17 to 0 and 16 to 0, have lately put Wesleyan anll “Hastings out of the champlonship race by scores of 8 to § and 6 to 0, respectively This leaves only Bellevue and Doane as the two teams that are still undefeated. The unusual number of the games played this year on top of a disputed champlon- ship last year, make such a post-season game necessary to unravel the tangle. Doane wishes to play Bellevue on Decem- ber 4 or any other suitable date In Lin coln or Omaha, preferably on the uni- versity gridiron at Lincoln. Manager | Perry has sent a formal challenge to the Bellovue manager and it i sincerely hoped by Doane supporters that the challenge will be accepted and the two teams will meet again to settle the state champlion- ship, Challenge for International Rifle Tourney Fifty British Indoor Marksmen Will Meet Team from United States Next April, WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—A challenge ex- tended by the Soclety of Miniature Rifle clubs of Great Britain to shoot a match on indoor gallery ranges In March or | April, 1910, has been accepted by the Na- tional Rifle Association of America.

Right end Q rback Left halfback Right halfback Fullback With the closing of ssour! Valley conference foot ball semson on Thanks- giving day came the time for the annual selection of the “all-star” elevens in this section. In some of the past falls the task of plcking & team representative of the best schools in the valley has been an easy one, for then there were but few star men upon whom the. experts could draw for thelr best teams. This autumn, however, there is such a quantity of excellent material in the valley that the selection of a single star eleven s likely to leave without positions some players who really seem to be of ‘all-star” caliber. The two elevens named above, though, are thought to be the best that could be brought together in the “Big Beven.” There | 1s no doubt that the first “all-star” team , would be strong enough to defeat any-‘other team that eould be plcked from among the | conference teams. The .second eleven - is weaker than the first in the line, but weuld prove only slightly weaker in the baoktield. Hyland of lowa and Deatherage of Mise - sourl are placed at the ends. on the firet team. Although playing on a rather. weal team at Iowa this fall, Hyland proved him- solf a star. He was a strong defensive player as well as a star man on the offense, He covered punts well and was an excellent man to receive a forward pass. He is & £00d kicker, t0o, and could be relied to do some of the punting. In the N-‘u::uz game his toe work gave the Hawkeyes, t &oals from fleld and enabled the Iowa City eleven to tie the score. Deathe: is one of the best players that Missourl has had In several years. His defensive work in the Kansas game won for him & place on the “all-star” team. At right end he could be depended upon to. break up forward passes and to cover punts in excellent form. Idler of Missouri and Carlson of Drake performed well this fall and probably dould hold their own both on the offense and defense with any pair in the valley, with the possible exception of Hyland and Deatherag Nebraska Has Four Places. Nebraska players are given four places in the line, for there is no doubt the Cornhuskers had the best bunch of for- wards in the valley. Temple and Harte at tackles did not meet opponents who played up to thelr standard. Temple . is considered one of the greatest tackies in the west and was placed on the second All-Western eleven by the sporting editor of the Chicago Dally New He was & terror on the defense, breaking through the opposing line gnd working havee to the opposing eleven's defenss. In the Minnesota game he had the mighty Walkes played to a standstill. Harte is an Omaha boy, and his de- fensive work, while not the equal of Tems ple's, was such that his side of the ln® was invincible to attacks. He was & powerful man on tackle-around plays, and in the last game of the season oarried the oval for many long gains. Bluck of Missouri and Caldwell of Kan- sas were other good tackiers. . Caldwell was a better offensive than defensive player. Bluck distinguished - himself by his defensive work In the Kansas game. Shonka of Nebraska stands out as. the superior of any center in the valley. In the first blg game of his career he was a match for Farnum of Minnesots, the All-Western center. He played consistent ball all the time and did & great amount of tackling. He was shifty and covered considerable ground. On several occasions he saved the Cornhusker goal.. Carlson of Kansas was outplayed by no other center in the valley with the exception of Shonka, and is played on the second team. Gross of Jowa and Ewing of Nebrasks are chosen for the guard positions. Gross is made captain, having been one of the best leaders Iowa has possessed in sev- eral seasons. He encouraged his teams mates to better play by always playing aggressive ball himself. His position on the Hawkeye eleven was tackle, but he is changed to guard In order to make the first eleven a strong one. His ag- gressive play made him a close second to Temple.
