OMAHA LOSES GOOD CHANCE Twice Has Opportunity to Win, But Fails in Making Good on Opening. ALL SOORES IN THE THIRD Each Team Gets Touchdown in That Quarter and That Is All GAME CLEAN AND WARM By FRED S. HUNTER. Lincoln, Nov. 11.—(Special.)—By reason of passing up two perfectly good chances to score touchdowns, Harold Mulligan’s Central High war- riors from Omaha were held to a 6- to-6 tie by the Lincoln High school eleven here this afternoon and the state interscholastic foot ball cham- pionship continues in statu quo. Twice in the third quarter the Oma- ha athletes had the ball under the shadow of the Lincoln goal posts, but failed to take advantage of either op- portunity, once by pulling a “Merkle” and once because of a fumble. Lincoln Line Too Good. On the first occasion which broke the hearts of the Central rooters Mul- ligan’s men rushed the ball to within a yard of the Lincoln goal line. They had four chances to push the pigskin over. Four times Quarterback Max- well signaled for line drives, And four times the Lincoln line, which had been holding like a stonewall, hurled the Omaha chargers back. The Oma- ha backs could not gain an inch against the center of that line, in fact they were thrown back every time. An attempt to skirt an end, especially if Morearty were given the ball, prob- ably would have netted the desired score, A few moments later the Central athletes carried the ball to the Lincoln fifteen-yard mark. A forward pass was attempted. Morearty’s throw was true 2nd Harper, who had just re- lieved Shepherd at end, got under the ball over the goal line, with nary a hostile athlete in reach. The ball bounced out of his arms. When Omaha Scored. Central High scored its lone touch- down shortly after the start of the second period. Lincoln had the ball on Omaha’s thirty-five yard line and |as essayed a forward pass. Webb hurled the pigskin toward the Lincoln for- wards, but Paynter projected himself in the path of the flying oval, pulled it out of the air and ran sixty-five yards for a touchdown. Smith failed to kick the goal. Lincoln made a touchdown, which deadlocked the score in the same period. By a series of well-sustained rushes with Griffin, Brain and Webb carrying the ball, the home boys car- ried the leather to the fifteen-yarc line. Here Omaha made a stand an held the Lincolnites for three downs but on the fourth and last attemp. Pug Griffin shot a forward pass to Lamb for the distance to the goal and, as Brain missed the kick for the additional point, the*score was a tie. Nice Crowd Out. About 1,200 enthusiasts turned out for the conflict which was staged on the snow-covered Nebraska field and in the fact of a biting cold and a nasty wind, which made conditions absolutely miserable for player and spectator alike. Almost half of the attendance seemed to be from Omaha, a special train carrying a bunch down from that city. That Omaha had a shade advantage over the Capitol City boys, was the judgment of most of those who saw the fray. Omaha gained a total of 279 yards, while Lincoln gained but 246 yards. Omaha earned first downs eleven times, while Lincoln earned first downs only eight times. Omaha attempted thirteen forward passes, five of which were successful for a total gain of ninety yards: Lincoln tried nine forward passes and only one was completed. It gained fifteen yards dnd scored the touchdown. The punting duel b etween Smith and Brain was a draw, both booting six punts for a total of 150 yards. In the Lines. Lineup and summary: OMAHA.

Washburn Eleven Is Easy for Kansas Topekd, Kan., Nov. 11.—Only once was the Washburn college foot ball team able to threaten the University of Kansas goal line here today, while Kansas scored four touchdowns and won the game, 27 to 0. Second string men were used almost entirely by Kansas because of reports that scouts from the University of Nebraska were watching the play.

SEVEN TO SIX THE SCORE Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 11.—Fail ure of Captain Lansing of the Uni- versity of Missouri foot ball team to kick goal after Pittman, the Tiger right halfback had plunged over the line for a touchdown early in the first period, lost Missouri the game today to the Kansas State Agricultural col- lege, 7 to 6. It was Missouri’s first defeat of the season. The Aggies came back with a rush after their goal had been crossed and in the same period sent over Skinner for a touchdown by a ten yard forward pass. Randall kicked goal. In the third period, People’s of Missouri, missed a place kick from the 31-yard line. C. Ebbets is 0. K. After Operation On Pocketbook by Fans C. Hercules Ebbets will live. The denizen of the city of the unburied dead has survived one of the most dif- ficult opefations ever performed upon a base ball magnate. It involved the removal from the person of Mr, Eb- bets of about $50,000. The surgery was accomplished by Dr. Fandom of Brooklyn. The $50,000 became imbedded in Mr. Ebbet's system Frior to the play- ing of the first world series game of 1916. It was shot into him by the diamond enthusiasts in Mr. Ebbet's own municipality. The veteran base ball club owner at first felt that he would not have to undergo surgical treatment; that he could work out at least part of the $50,000 from his sys- tem and into a bank through the me- dium of a sixth world series combat. However, in this Mr. Ebbets was disappointed. The Dodgers, who promised to do the best they could to makd the operation unnecessary, failed. And so, immediately after the fifth and deciding game of the se- ries was finished, Dr. Fandom began preparing Mr. Ebbets for the difficult task of removing the $50,000, which many persons thought to be a task be- yond the power of any human to ac- complish. The well-known mogul is reported “convalescing as speedily as condi- tions warrant.” Whether he will re- cover absolutely is doubtful. The shock of the operation was very great, indeed, and friends of Mr. Ebbets fear that he never will be the same again. Basket Ball Plans "For Colleges Made New York, Nov. 11.—The schedule or the season of 1916-17 of the In- ercollegiate Basket Ball league was rawn up at a meeting of the organi- zation at the Hotel Imperial. As last season, each college in thé leagtie will play every other team at home and once abroad. Columbia, the only local institution in the league, will play its first game at Cornell on January 9, and will hold its first home contest. with Yale on January 19. The schedule is as follows: January 6, Dartmouth at Yale. Co- lumbia at Cornell; January 13, Cornell at Yale, Columbia’ at Pennsylvania, Princeton at Dartmouth; January 15, Cotnell at Dartmouth; January 19, Yale at Columbia, Pennsylvania at Princeton; January 23, Pennsylvania at Cornell, Yale at Princeton; Januar 27, Cornell at Princeton; February 10, Columbia at Dartmouth; February 12, Dartmouth at Columbia, Pennsylvania at Yale; February 16, Cornell at Co- lumbia; February 17, Yale at Penn- sylvania; February 24, Princeton at olumbia, Cornell at Pennslyvania; February 27, Pennsylvania at Dart- mouth, Columbia at Yale; March 2, Dartmouth at Princeton, Pennsylvania at Columbia; March 3, Yale at Cor- nell; March 5, Dartmouth at Cornell; March 6, Columbia at Princeton; March 10, Princeton at Pennsylvania, Yale at Dartmouth; March 14, Prince- ton at Yale, Besides the thirty league games, Princeton will play a special contest at New Haven on February 6, during the Yale junior prom. Hats Off to Scribe; Owns $250 Diamond During the excitement attendant upon the scoring of the second Pitt touchdown at Forbes field Pittsburgh, recently, one of the sport writers up in the press box on the third floor of the stand dropped a $250 diamond ring down into the crowd below. Strange, of course, that a sport writer should own a $250 diamond ring, but the young woman upon whose lap the bauble descended thought it stranger still that dia- monds should fall from the sky. In the same box was John E. McKirdy, advertising manager of the Pittsburgh Railways company, and he immedi- ately took steps to discover the owner of the gem. But no efforts were necessary. In less than two minutes after the ring had fallen the owner was down among the crowd advertising his loss and offering a reward for its recovery. No reward was necessary. The finder at once turned over her “find” and it was back to the press coop for the scribe.

SOORE, THREE TO NOTHING ' | Stadium, Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 1.—A field goal by Horween was the margin of Harvard’s victory over an almost equally matched Princeton eleven in the stadium today. De- fensively the Tigers proved Har- vard's equal and stopped many Crim- son_plays which had been effective against other teams. Offensively Har- vard was able at several times to gain enough ground through Case):’s elu- sive runs. to threaten Princn's goal. Only by abortive attempts at long goals from sthe field did the Tigers menace the Harvard line. Princeton's reliance in its extremity wah the for- ward pass from various formations, but generally it failed. The Tiger team, defeated for the first time this season, went intp tears as they slouched off the field. Harvard sup- porters hailed Casey for his effective running attack and Horween for his accurate toe. Falls To Tigers. The luck of the toss fell to Prince- ton and Captain Hogg chose to re- ceive the ball. Horween kicked off, Moore fumbling the ball twice, but eventually regaining it after a twelve- yard rushback. Driggs, deceptive kick- ing was used repeatedly to advantage by Princeton. Both elevens showed better defen- sive then offensive in the first period, The uncertain wind made the hand- ling of punts extremely hard and there was little gain by either team through consistent attack. N Score end first period: Princeton 0; Harvard 0. Harvard Kicks Field Goal. Princeton kicked off in.the third period, Harvard defending the south oal. With a series of rushing plays arvard carried the ball to the Tig- ers’ twenty-yard line. At this point Coach Rush sent Winn into the game. His_appearance apparentlg was in violation of the rules and Princeton suffered a fifteen-yard disadvantage when the ball was given to Harvard on the five-yard line. It was ex- lained that” Winn tackled Captain glogg without ‘the referee’s sanction. Horween, rushing like a bull, charged twice for a gain of a yard each time. The Princeton players, with their backs against the goal posts, held Murray a half yard. Harvard's eager- ness in holding cost them fifteen yards. Horween, standing on his twen- ty-six-yard line, kicked a field goal. Score: Harvard 3; Princeton 0. After several scrimmages Ames was sent in at quarterback for Princeton, replacing Eddy. Brown replaced Thomas in Princeton’s backfield. Harte was replaced by Phinney in the Harvard lineup. Halsey replaced McGraw in Princeton’s line. Flower went in for Horween, bring- ing into the game fresh kicking abil- ity for the Crimson, together with a threat at end running. He kicked out of bounds at Harvard's ninety-two- yard line. Harris, the Haryard cen- ter, was taken out and Wiggin sent in. Score end third period: Harvard, 3; Princeton, 0. Fourth period: Princeton started the period on Harvard’s forty-two- yard line, They were set back at once to midfield when Snow downed Moore behind his line for an eight- yard loss. Brewer replaced Coolidge and neither side was able to seriously menace its opponent’s goal and the game ended with the score, Harvard, 3; Princeton, 0. The line-up: HARVARD, PRINCETON. C. A.

Amateur Athletié Union Bars “Pros” New York, Nov. 11.—The revised constitution and by-laws of the Ama- teur. Athletic union, which will be vot- ed upon at the annual meeting to be held at the Waldorf-Astoria on No- vember 20, contain a number of minor changes. In most cases only the phraseology of the rules are changed so that they can be more clearly un- derstood, The definition of an ama- teur as interpreted by the World's Slport_ conference last December was also incorporated. The prigcipal change reported by the committee on revision includes one requiring that delegates to the annual meeting of the national body be ama- teurs. If this rule is adopted it will affect John T. Taylor of Pittsburgh, delegate from the Middle Atlantic association, who is the second vice president of the national body. Tay- lor is a paid swimming instructor at the University of Pittsburgh. Her- man Obertubessing, also a delegate to the national body, will have to retire under the new rules. Another measure proposed is to ex- punge the clause permitting registra- tion of women in swimming events.

The score was: Ames, 7; Morningside, 0. \ Morningside never was near a touchdown, and neither was the crippled Ames outfit, until the second quarter. Tucker, star halfback, with a face broken by Kansas, was shot into the backfield to push the ball over at least once. Tucker did the pushing, enabling Quarterback Ald- rich to set it over the Morningside line on an end run fof twelve yards of ground, in the third period. A high wind laden with freezing cold, driving sleet and snow dia- gonally across the length of the field, drove, wild the boots of Wenig, Morningside’s fifty yards drop kicker. { Wenig tried four of them, all inside forty yards, but they were blown ofr boétted wild.

Byrne showed a flash of form in the early rounds, but Ertle's punches had the steam and in the sixth he nearly stowed the Clevelander away with a right to the stomach followed by a tattoo of blows to the jaw. After that Byrne was groggy, and, although he tried to come back in the seventh by making savage rushes, his blows lacked force and he was badly punished and in a fair way to be knocked out when the referee stopped the bout in the ninth, Canadian Women Hockey Players Defy Yankees New York, Nov. 11.—The announce- ment that women are to play hockey at the St. Nicholas ice rink, 69 West Sixty-sixth street, this winter is at- tracting wide attention.
