- Cori . ~ago. The Cornhuskers played BRI JNEGS-THIS 1S MR. SMITH-THE, CHAMPION RUNNER OF THE NUT UNIVER- STY OF BRAZLIL - STEWART HAS BOX OF TRICKS HIDDEN Cornhusker Mentor Covers Up and Hides Every Single Play of Attack. SAVING UP FOR THE DAMES By FRED 8. HUNTER, . “It'll be time for the flowers, boys, when the Cornhuskers tangle with Notre Dame,” groaned about 90 per cent of the 7,000 spectators when hos- tilities between Nebraska and Ames were concluded Saturday with Ne- braska on the long end of the close 3-to-0 count, Those Cornhuskers, who *for the last five years have humbled the pride bf the mightiest and who have been regarded by many Nebraska enthusi- asts as invincible, looked woefully and pitifully weak Saturday. They ‘cinched the Missouri Valley g¢ham- pionship, but that was expected. But they didn’t show any foot ball that would tempt a man to predict a vic- i !o?' over Notre Dame. ut here dnd there in the stands around Nebraska field sat a real stu- dent of foot ball who looked farther * than the surface in watching the usker play, who studied the nfi’ ds and executions of Stewart's © charges and who sized cach play up for himself after the game. And those chaps didu’t send out any hurry calls for the' uedertaker. Watchful \Waiting. “Doc Stewart has a box of tricks up his sleeve, it won't be the same Corn- huskers who ‘will face Notre Dame,” was the verdict of the lads who delved beyond the surface. And they're g t, ¥ Stewart is a foxy coach, He - proved that to us just a few wu:l the kind of foot ball against the ansas Aggies that they played * against Ames Saturday. The offensive ~ was puny. A week later against the, . Oregon Aggies, a. much stronger . team, the Cornhusker offensive was a _ powerful affair. It ripped the Oregon machine to pieces the full sixty min- utes/of play. That was Stewart's work. ! Last week during practice for the - Ames game Stewart only put his war- riers through one scrimmage and that scrimmage was practically entirely devoted to working up a defense for the\Ameu play. "The scrubs carried the 'ball, not the varsity. Why was that? In the first place a number of ' the Huskers were hurt in the Ne- braska-Wesleyan game. And in the second place Stewart didn’t intend to show anything in the Iowa Aggie game, me Fdols the Scouts. Assistant Coach- Rockne of Notre Daine saw the game Saturday. So did Coach Oleptt of - Kansas. So did * Howard Jones of Towa. And if they go! any kind of a line on the Corn- “huskers they're wonders, The Cornhuskers did not open up once Saturday. They played straight foot ball except for sever?l unsuccess- ful attempts to forward pass and every pass was made from straight formation. No shifts were tried. No tricks were tried. Only half a dozey end runs were tried. Ted Riddell, an s exceptionally fast man who can be counted upon to skirt the wings for good gains, was only given the ball a couple of times. Dobson, who has shown |ability to receive forward passes, was only called upon on one 1 and he captured that one for a good gain. He is also a good line plunger, but wasn't used at all, Stew- art was holding back in that Ames game. Perhaps hgidn't intend it to be quite as close, but we have a hunch he is satisfied. And‘when the Cornhuskers line up, to do battle with Kansas and Iowa, our guess is that they will'play pretty much the same kind of ball, content to win by a narrow margin without disclosing any of the real attack for the hostile scouts to'see and-prepare N against. But when Stewart sends his + men against Notre Dame, it will be . something else again, When Stichm Did It. - Perhaps you remember two yedrs ago when the much-heralded Michi- gan Aggies invaded Nebraska. The odds were 24 and 3 to 1 on the Michi- an crew and every Nebraskan con- - ceded the defat.

If Vidal could gain against Notre Dame, reason the Nebraskans, Cook, ‘Caley, Riddell and Dobson ought to, Jumbo Stichm, our, old pal, got an- | other rap in the teeth by Northwest- ern. Jumbo has droppi this year, more than he lost during his entire career of five years at Ne- braska, v v Central Favorite Over Lincolnites In Fray Saturday Central's stingging vic‘ory over Beatrice and Lincoln’s ovc:whelming defeat of Sioux Falls were the two interesting games in Nebraska foot bll last week, Coach Mulligan showed the Queen City that his team not only was made up of first class ma- terial, but was the handiest in the state when it comes to fighting through pinches. Morearty, Central would have beaten Beatrice Friday because they had de- veloped a defense in the first half of the game that the Black and Orange could not penetrate. The fact that Mulligan's goal line has not been crossed thus far this season is encouraging for the Lincoln game Saturday, It will probably take more than one Griffin to swing his way through the local defense, and since Lincoln has but one such per- son a Capital City victorygseems re- mote. The odds by a whole lot.are with Central. The game will be a mighty close affair, however, as Coach Reese has been weekly im- proving his squad. GEORGES CARPENTIER. Georges Carpentier, . member of the French*Flying corps, still wants to fight. Even his part in the war hasn't taken it out of his blood. Car- entier has written a letter to Les arcy, the Australian, who is now in this country, in which he takes it for ranted Darcy soon will be on the rlriy line, and says that after the war, “if ‘we are both alive,” he would like to box him and will concede whateyer weight Darcy might make if he be- comes a heavyweight, e e e of Minnesota at the hands of Illinois was the most startling. Min- nesota was a heavy favorite in the conference, while Zuppke's eleven was thought to be weak. It was an- other case of where a coach was covering up. Zuppke had taught the 1llini a wonderful forward passing at- tack and it wasn't expected as Zuppke's men displayed it for the first time against the Gophers, He com- pletely out-guessed the crafty Will- lams. Ohio State, by defeating Wisconsin, placed itself on even terms with Northwestern in the conference fight. On November 25 the Big Nine cham- pionship will be decided by these two teams. It is the first time in history Ohio and Northwestern will fight it out for the title. More Hope for Nebraska. The victory of the Army over Notre Dame was also a surprise. The Hoosiers were the favorites. But Oli- phant and Vidal, two western pro\ ducts, proved to be ‘too much. The success of Vidal against Notre Dame is rather pleasing news to Nebraska supporters, Vidal will be remembered oi— THE BEER YOU LIKE 1 A glass with ‘ your dinner is | ; good for you. || Phone Douglas 1889 and have a case {1 * sent home. | Luxus Hormlilo : Company || _DISTRIBUTORS three games | Morearty, or no | COURSING MEET COMES T0 CLOSE Plair Dogs, Owned by Reagon and Woodworth, Take Mer- | chants Hotel Stake. | | ROCKWELL BEAT HIGH LIFE Reagon and Woodworth of Utica, Neb., captured the Merchants Hotel stake and the Chris Lyck cup in the final day of the coursing meet at the Pouglas County Fair grounds, when the two Clair dogs, Dick Clair and Babe Clair, ran true to form, and won hoth ends of the semi-final round in this state event. Both dogs went through all the rounds easily. . Wild Jerry, owned-by Virgin and Shark, won the special stake by win- ning in the final round from Muddy Roads, 17 to 6. This race was o long one, as the score indicates. The jack was a frisky animal and he gave the hounds a merry chase, but was even- tually killed when he tried to es- cape by leaping over the canvas. That he had not been trained for the escape was evident, as he had several oppor- tunities to get away, but did not try | for the escape. Two match races were also held. Honey Moon. won a match race from Gold Top by a score of 5 to 2. Honey Moon is agother Virgin and Shark dog. Grac? Rockwell, owned by W. B. Flack of Grand Island, defeated Hijgh Life in the other match race, 6 to 5. A dispute arose over this race, the owner of High Life dis- agreeing with Judge Ray Page’s de- Grand Island whipped away with a victory against York.: Owens of the Third City eleven picked up a fum- ble in the third quarter and raced for a tou¢hdown. York has been minus of its regular players in its first four games and probably has presented its weakest defense n the four hardest games on its schedule. North Platte and Kearney have ostponed their battle until Novem- er 11, thus delaying the dope in this direetion for several days, It is the general opinion, however, that North Platte cannot hold a candle to Cen- tral’s splendid record. Bluffs Midgets Defeated. The Fontenclles won from the Council Bluffs Midgets, 60 to 1. The Fontenelles Interference was too much for the boys across the river. Tom Elvince was far the star of the game, crossing§the Midgets line for four touchdowns, cision. Grace Rockwell went into the race a 3 to 1 favorite in the\betting ring and takers of the short end joined with the owner in the dispute. A lot of argument raged for several minutes. The betting ring was a busy place, { with heavy oods being placed on most of the races. On a few rdces the wise boys, who generally gave the odds, took the short end and on dogs that had been beaten every day be- fore against dogs that had won ev- erything before, and returned winner. There is a suspicion that it is possible to “whisper to a dog” just as it is to just as it is to a horse.

Bancroft High Loses To West Point Team West Point, Neb., Nov. 5.—(Spe- cial.)—The local foot ball team de- feated Bancroft High yesterday in the hardest fought game of the season by a score of 17 to 15. Features of the game were the accurate goal kicking and line plunging of Captain Howarth, left half for the locals, and the end running and defensjve work of Left Half Cates for the Visitors. The teams were very evenly matched and fought from whistle-to whistle.

BOWLING SGORES IN OMAHA ARE BETTER Local Pin Tumblers Begin to Show 8igns of Real Form as Season Progresses. GET READY FOR ST. LOUIS Bowling scores of last week were quite an improvement over those. of previous weeks, showing that Omaha sharks are commencing to realize that they have been hopelessly out of form and in no condition to enter the big Middlewest tournament, which starts in St. Louis this,month, They are still a little wild and lots of practice is still needed if they expect to com- pete successfully against the teams from other cities. The season’s prize fund will be larger than ever, due to the large entry list. 1t is expected St. Louis will enter 100 teams and that Chicago will be there with twenty teams, Peoria, fifteen, and Omaha, Kansas City, Sioux City, St. Paul and Des Moines will have their usual four to eight teams, but the real surprise is the fact thaf small- er cities, which formerly entered ‘only ohe team each, sent in entries for two or three teams. There are several of these. Mason City, Ia, has entered three; Dubuque, two; Burlington, nev- er represented before, two; St. Joseph, three; Cedar Rapids and Davenport, Ia,, two teams each. Teams have been entered from Taylorville, I1l., and Doe Run, Mo, Several towns, such as these, which have never entered be- fore, are lining up this season with ane or two teams each. A few Omaha teams have already announced definitely their entrance in the big meet. The Brandeis, Storz, Metz and All-Stars will make the trip, and the Oma, Jetter's Old Age and Luxus teams are considered prac- tically certainties, The Home Res- taurants of the Boosfer league alsa contemplate taking the vt}frage. The annual meeting will be held Sunday, November 19. This meeting Icount of the keen competition will be especially interesting on ac- be- tween' three ‘cities for next season’s event, Des Moines, Kansas City and Peoria are already playing politics and endeavoring to line up delegates from other cities. Tourney at Lincoln. Omaha_teams will have an oppor- tunity for tournament practice” at Lincoln next Saturday it they: enter the big handicap tournament which is being held this week. Lincoln has entered twenty teams and teams will enter from Wahoo, Omaha, Fremont, Grand Island and Columbus, The entry fee is $1 per man in each event, and all will be paid out .in prize money,. About four teams will enter from here. Saturday has been set aside for Omaha teams, and two more are needed to fill the reserved spaces. This will be an excellent opportunity for Omaha teams’to get in condition for the big St. Louis fray. South Dakota Holds The Michigan Aggies To an Even Score Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 5,—For the first time in the history of the school, South Dakota university held. the Michigan Aggies to a 3-to-3 score at Vermilion today. South Dakota was the aggressor throughout the contest, keeping~the ball for the greater: part of the time in the Aggies’ territory. The visitors fought like real Wolver-+ ines, but were unable ‘to score ‘until three minutes before the final whistle. In the second quarter McKinnon placed a drop kick between the Michi- gan goal posts for the South Dakota tally. 1In the latter part of the last period a South Dakota penalty placed the “ball: within kicking distance and three minutes before the end of the game Huebel, the Aggies’ heady little quarterback, tied the score by placing the pigskin fairly between the posts./ Norfolk Minus Game. Coach Walker of Norfolk telephoned The Bee last evening that he was minus a_game for Friday or Saturday of next week and would be open to a propositfon with any high school team of abllity in the state. At the |ast minute Gothenberg for unexplained reason, he says, backed out of a centract to play. Bee Want Ads Produce Results. PR R VISITOR was going through the Tom Moore Cigar ‘factory.
