L " Art,” under the direction of Dean MR. MOORE. WOULD LIKE. TO $PEAK TO YOU ON THE PHONE \\ BELLEVUE GLOOMY ON EVE OF BATTLE i Gustafson, Mainstay of In-| dians’ Eleven, Won't Line Up Against Doane. PESSIMISM HITS ROOTERS | can’t play against Doane!” This was the announcement that| dropped like a bombshell in the Bellevue college training camp yes- terday and brought consternation to the hearts of the purple and gold rooters. Big Gus, alias Waldemar Gustaf- son, “The Terrible Swede,” for the last four years has been one man up-| on whom the coaches could rely. Two minutes playing time in over ree seasons is all Gus has lost, and that was in his first year. The one| hundred-eighty-five pound guard has been a tower of defense and has opened holes on the offense like a battering ram. His absence will weaken greatly the Indian line to- morrow afternoon - when Bellevue meets Doane at Crete, ~Loach Admits Defeat. With Gus out of the game Coach Benjamin plans a wholesale eleventh hour shift of the forward lme. Kin- nier, the wveteran center, will be moved to tackle, Picotte going from half to center. Johns will go to left | guard, Allen and Daugherty remain- ing on. the right. side -of the line. With a line which has never played together before and with Williams out of the game still and a substitute taking his place at right end, Coach Benjamin admits that Bellevue will be lucky to hold Doane to two touch- downs. To make matters worse, spirit in the student body has sunk to a low ebb. The project of the rooters go- ing to Doane in a body, which was hailed with so much enthusiasm last week, now seems to be on the point of being dropped for lack of the thirty people necessary to get a spe- cial car on the Burlington. All told, Bellevue’s chances of beating Doane this year, which looked so bright two weeks ago, have sunk to the vanishing point. estern League Pays $400 Claim 0f Jimmy Kane Licoln, Neb., Nov. 22.—In compli- ance with a ruling ¢f the National Base Ball commissiong President Zeh- rung of the Westerr league today i drew a $400 check in favor of James Kane, released first baseman of the'!

Coach Stewart is putting his men through some strenuous practice work in an- ticipation of the game here next Sat- | urday with the down river squad. He looks for some heavy opposition from the Central High squad. In order to make a creditable show- ing the coach’s athletes will have to inject more “pep” into their play than has been shown during the first part of the week. Several of the players failed to show up on the practice field, !thus handicapping the work of the willing ones. The Sioux City High outweighs the Omaha men, but the Omahans’ speed and craftiness may overcome this | handicap. The weight of the two teams follows: Central. Position. Sloux City. Pearson, 150 L.E.

Two other women were elected on the same ticket, the regis- ter of deeds and the county superin- tendent. Miss Stowell's father was editor of the Verdon Vedette for many years, and later of the Auburn Post. She is a graduate of the Au- burn High school. Tabor OQutgrows Its School Facilities Tabor, Ta., Nov. 22—(Special.)— A mass meeting of Tabor citizens was held in the opera house Monday evening ‘to consider what is to be done to relieve .the present over- crowded condition of our public schools. Miss Jones, county superintendent of schools, was present and various plans weére discussed. ' Many of those | present considered building an addi- tional room or an entire new building or dismissing the present pupils. ‘A’ committee of two, Superintendent Evans of the Tabor s¢hools, and Pres- ident Wahrhen of the college, were chosen to confer with the proper authorities as to the feasibility of se- curing the temporary use of one of the college buildings for the public school. A committee of five was also appointed to consider the advisability | of establishing a consolidated public school’ for Tabor. The members of this committee are Messrs. ‘W. H. Wyant, C. L. Hail, B. B. Millen, R. S. McClelland and Ira McCormick. Found in a Looted House, Two Held H. A. Delaney and Arthur Delaney, both of Florence, are being held at police headquarters for investigation because they were found in the cel- lar of a vacant house at 5102 North Fortieth, where the plumbing had been cut out. The house is owned by John Daley, who is now in Scottsbluff, Neb. The Delaney’s said Mrs. Daley is their sister, but they did not explain why they broke off several padlocks in order to get into the house.

[ — ~OINTY - OLD BOY - HOW ARE You ‘STEWART MAKES ANOTHER SHIFT | Will Play Cook and Caley at Halfbacks and Dobson and i Selzer at Pullbacks. |MOSER OUT WITH INJURIES Lincoln,: Now, 22.—(Special.)—An- | othér shift in the backficld is being | considered by Coach Stewart, to add | speed to the Husker backfield in the | game against Towa university next Saturday afternoon at lowa City. Stewart has determined to use both Cook and 'Caley as halfbacks, as they have shown the greatest ability at ground gaining during the sesason and are the fastest men on the squad. Dobson, who has done splendid work, is slated for one fullback, and Selzer, who has played on the scrubs most of the season, will be the other full- back. “Turp” Frank, a halfback star of | the early Stiehm regime, lingered in Lincoln this week to aid in whipping the ’varsity into shape for Iowa and ; | incidentally furnished the sensation of the practice’ Tuesday night. Frank donned foot ball togs and gontributed some of the most thrilling runs seen on Nebraska field this season. He tore | through the ’varsity with the Iowa | formations for long gains, but the regulars finally solved the plays and stopped him. Vic Halligan, another Husker star, who has been helping with the coaching all season, was another in the scrubs' lineup last night and he helped Frank to tear things up for a while. Moser Will:Be Out. Caley, Riddel and Moser were all excused from scrimmage last night as the result of injuries in the Kansas game, but Dr. Stewart said that with the possible exception of Moser, all would be in splendid condition for the Hawkeye battle. The students’ special to Towa City was assured today when Athletic | Manager Guy E. Reed secured over 100 reservations irom the universit band, the students and Lincoln busi- ness men. Reed felt that vocal sup- port for the Huskers was very essen- tial in the lowa game and made a de- termined effort to secure enough for a special train, His efforts were warmly received. Prepare For Turkey Day. The biggest crowd that ever saw a foot ball game in Nebraska will be on hand for the Notre Dame battle, it was assured today. Apparently the Kansas defeat has not cut in on the attendance for the turkey day game one whit. Practically all of the choice_reservations have gone, with a special block of 500 seats to Omaha | | and another reservation of 100 for | Central" city. Central City rooters sent Reed the money today and will come on a special train. Having lost the Missouri Valley championship, the Huskers figure a victory over Iowa and Notre Dame would atone sufficiently for all other disappointments. With strong faith in the defensive power of the team, the | Husker fans are waiting to see if Dr. Stewart can develope a punch in his | backfield. The Nebraska squad, accompanied | by Dr. 'Stewart, Assistant Coach Rutherford, Manager Reed and the faculty representative, will leave here Thursday afternoon at 4:05 over the | Rock Islarfi. The Huskers will put | up in Des Moines Friday, where they will have a short workout, and will then go to Iowa City. The rooters’ special will leave here Friday night {at 11:15 over the Rock Island. \Burgess-Nash Team Looking for Games Are there any 85 or 90-pound foot | ball elevens in Omaha? If there are | they can start hostilities right away. {The Burgess-Nash team is looking | for an opponent. Tommy Wilson is conducting the team's business and can be found at Harney 4153.

NOVEMBER 23, 1916. Drawn for The Bee by George McManus OH! ISN'Y THIS DINTY MOORE - WHAT'S, THAT? GOIN AND DIG I§ The game is being played today in-| stead of Saturday so as to provide a longer rest before the big game Thanksgiving. Gibbons Boys May Show Wares Here Eddie Kane, representative of Mike Gibbons, stopped over in Omaha yes- terday. Kane is paving the way for a trip by Mike and his brother, | Tommy, to the Pacific coast. The Gibbons boys will go through Omaha December 9, and arrange- ments may be made for thery to give an exhibition here. Kane declares that the reports from St. Paul that Gibbons demanded the cash amount of his guarantee before he would enter the ring with Jack Dillon, are somewhat off-color. He explains that Harry Sherman orally agreed to terms of a $10,000 guarantee with an option of 35 per cent of the gross receipts for Gibbson's share in a match with Dillon. Later Gibbons, Kane says, asked Sherman to put a contract in writing and this caused circulation of the report. “As a matter of fact,” Kane said, “Gibbons got paid with a check and didn’t get it until Saturday, the day of the bout, and didn’t put it into the bank until the following Monday.” Auto Wrecked by Freight Car. Fremont, Neb., Nov. 22.—(Special.) —A brand new five-passenger auto- mobile, the property of Simon Shana- han of Saunders county, was almost completely demolished when it was struck by a boxcar in a string being pushed back by a Union Pacific en- gine at North Bend. Mr. Shanahan was in the car when the motor went “dead.” He endeavored to start it, but seeing that an accident was un- avoidable jumped to save being struck. COACH'S PRAYER Hawkeyes’ Overconfidence that | They Will Trounce Huskers Peeves Iowa's Mentor. IS BACK | MENDENHALL Iowa City, Ta, Nov. 22.—(Special.) —Over confidence in the outcome of the game with Nebraska is now the chief fear of the Hawkeye coaching staff for the Iowa varsity. The listless showing which the regulars made yesterday afternoon in their first scrimmage of the week was such as to call forth from Coach Jones a se- vere “bawling out” on the attitude which the men seem to have taken, In the end Jones dismissed his squad from the field with a prayer that they would be back today more inclined to go in and dig. The coach called the attention of the men to the fact that the dope had already been upset too many times this year, and pointed out /that defeat of Nebraska at the hands of Kansas and the Iowa victory over Ames did not mean that a Hawkeye win over the Cornhuskers would naturally fol- low. He urged them to fight through- out the game from first to last in a manner which would show the best possible ultimate result of ten long weeks of practice. “Pep” is Lacking. Having failed to display proper spirit and punch in scrimmage work against the scrubs, Jones turned his men to signal work, and the teams put in a long drill on the lighted por- tion of the field at the south end. The afternoon saw several changes in line- up, mostly in the nature of substitu- tions, however. The most important innovation was . e OH! THE REVEREND MR.MOORE MR.JIGGS {the appearance of Bannick at left | halfback. Bannick played varsity | quarter the first of the season and has been substituting for Jenkins recent- ly, but Jones now believes that he may make a good halfback and his |showing yesterday afterpoon was such as to indicate that he 'might get a workout in the position when the battle with the Cornhuskers comes due. Hawkeye supporters were jubilant over the fact that Mendenhall, after being incapacitated for more than three weeks, got into scrimmage to- night for the first time. Davis was out for the first time this week, but Scott, who has developed blood pois- oning on the leg, is still in poor shape. In the line Triplett and McKee alter- nated at tackle and Fosdick remained in for Hunzelman, Von Lackum was in for a time in place of Captain Laun at right end, and in the backfield Jones used Van Pelt and Nugent in addition to the other men. Incorporation Articles For New Omaha Company (From a_ Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 22— (Special.) — “Mogy” Bernstein, former probation officer of Omaha, called at the office of the secretary of state today and filed incorporation articles of the Toi- leteer company, a corporation organs ized for the manufacture of a clean- ing compound, with headquarters in Omaha. The company has a capital of $50,- 000, C. F. Benner being president, Mr. Bernstein, vice president, treasurer’ and general manager, and Mrs, Blanche Bernstein, secretary. Stanley Hall of Bladen Named Bank Examiner (From & Btaff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Now, 22— (Speeial.)—Gov- ernor Morehead this morning ap- pointed Stanley Hall of Bladen a bank examiner to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of E. N. Vanhorn, who bought a bank at DeWitt some weeks ago. =z -3 ~ WELL 195 NOT LINGOLN DEMANDS HALF GATE RECEIPTS Oapital City High Foot Ball Eleven Will Not Play for Fun of the Thing. POST SEASON GAME TALK Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 22.—(Special Telegram.)—Lincoln will not con- sider a post-season game to determine the championship of the state with the Omaha High school unless Coach Mulligan guarantees Lincoln half of the gate receipts. Mulligan in his challenge offered the Lincoln team $150 to play there, but the authorities will not consider such a proposition, | Under any circumstances the Lin- | coln High school authorities will not take up the question of a post-season game until after the North Platte battle here next Saturday. Lincoln expects to win, but North Platte has a strong team and has made an im- pressive showing so far this season. “We expect to win, but a defeat by North Platte would make a post- season game with Omaha unneces- u!?," said Principal Newlon, ? he athlete authorities held a meet- ing this morning to consider the Mulligan challenge and mapped out the line of action, “Providing Omaha refuses to meet us with a fair financial propostition, we are prepared to advance our claims to the championship on the basis of comparative score,” said Mr. Newlon. “Lincoln’s record is bet- ter than Omaha, with a 20 to 3 defeat of Beatrice and a larger score against Sioux Falls, If wei y at all Omaha must give us half the gate receipts,” Another point appealing to Coach Reese is the players attitude, and he will sound them out on a post-season game. | | is a sensation in In foil-lined packages.
