BRINGING UP FATHER -- S -- Drawn for The Bee by George McManus HUSKERS PREPARE FOR HARPER'S MEN Stewart Drills His Squad in New Formations to Be Used Against Notre Dame. LINK SPORTS BET ON ENEMY Lincoln, Nov. 27.—(Special.)—Dr. Stewart’s rejuvenated Huskers began their preparation this afternoon for the final game of the season against Notre Dame, which will send one of the best elevens in its history to do battle on Thanksgiving day. * The Huskers frisked through a long signal practice and then Dr. Stewart called on the first’ team for a long drill on new formations. There will be no scrimmage for the Huskers this week. Dr. Stewart found as a résult of the battering which the Huskers got in the lowa game that his squad could not stand any excessively sav- age scrimmage, such as marked the practice last week. All of the Husk- ers were more or less battered, but Cameren, Otoupalik and Cook were the particular marks and Caley also recejved more than his share of at- tention from the lowa tacklers. For the first time this season the Huskers ‘ exhibited something of an offense last Saturday. With Caley in- structed to throw the play wide open, the Huskers turned loose at Iowa City and used more formations than they used all the rest of the season. Stewart plans to change his attack radically for the Notre Dame game. It was reported that Notre.Dame had five scouts on the sidelines during the Iowa games and so stewart is determined to take no chances. Works New Formations. 2 The squad will“bé kept pégging away until Thursday morning with the new formations and Stewart ex- pects to give the .pupils of Harper a fairly interesting time, although predictions have been freely made that the South Bend institution would' swamp Nebraska. . In one respect Notre Dame will be at a bigget disadvantage than the Huskers. The squad will be on the train almost constantly until Tues- day night, having left for Chicago ' late this evening. Harper plans op limbéring up Wednesday afternoon on the Nebraska gridiron.’ Nebraska will have to give fifteen pounds to the man in the weight tabu- lations. The Notre Dame line out- weighs Nebraska ten pounds to the man, while the Husker backfield is also lighter than the visitors. Erect More Seats. Guy E. Reed said that he expected every one of the choice seats would be gone by tonight, but the Husker manager plans to construct additional bleacher space and will make arrange- ments to handle as big a crowd as possible. If Notre Dame fails to win by a decisive score—a margin of fifteen points—there is going to be a bunch of Lincoln sports drop their rolls. These fellows banked the Huskers against Kansas and when they lost their coin they were so mad they tushed out to bet against the Huskers. Most of them werc compelled to give cdds and bet on rhe score, but they did it willingly in view of the poor showing of the Cornhuskers against Kansas. When Nebraska came back to life against Iowa, they began to get cold feet but had alrcady spiked their coin. Dr. Stewart is more concerned with the physical condition of his squad now, than any other feature. He does not want the men to go stale and he is afraid of injuries. That is why Stew- | art changed his mind about the final | scrimmage drills and decided to take no chances with injuries in scrim- | mage. | Georges Carpentier ~Wins Military Medal Paris, Nov. 27.—Georges Carpen- tier, the French champion boxer, has been on Jeave in Paris after taking part as an aviator at the recapture of Fort Douvaumont on the Verdun front. Carpentier was decorated with the military medal for gallantry in action, While in Paris he gave an informal exhibition of boxing at a charity bazar in the Trocadero palace and received an enthusiastic reception from thousands.

Walter L. Racely, the popular captain of the In- dian team, will play his last game of | college foot ball Thursday. For four years “Waddy” has played in the back field at Bellevue. Through de- feat and victory he has guarded the second line of the Bellevue defense with the same dauntless courage and spirit. Racely made' the teani the first week he came out for foot ball four | years ago at Bellevue. In twenty- seven games he has missed but one, | although he has lost a few minutes | now and then. This season he has lost but three minutes altogether and only one practice. | Sputter’ Maxw Racely has been one man upon whom the coaches could always de- pend. When things did not look quite so well for Bellevue, “Waddy"” could be depended upon just as much as when things looked brighter. This years he has led the most successful team Bellevue has had for some time. The Indians have won three out of six games played and the chances look good for their annexing on Tur- key day. “Waddy" is as versatile an athlete as ever stepped across the athletic field on Elk hill. So far he has won four foot ball “B's", two emblems in basket ball, with the probability of making another in the spring. Nine letters in four years is a better rec- ord than has been made at Bellevue by anyone since the days of the re- doubtable Davc“ Primorse, save by ell, / PLENTY OF GAMES FOR TURKEY DAY Oreighton Meets South Dakota and Central High 8t. Jo- | seph in Omaha. | HUSKERS AND NOTRE DAME} Omaha foot ball fans will not want for excitement Thanksgiving day. They will have their choice of three gridiron clashes that should furmish thrills for even the most blood- thirsty, amusement.seeker. Creighton against South 'Dakota and Central High against St. Joseph are the games scheduled for .Omaha, while Nebraska meets Notre Dame at Lin- coln, For the first time since the game became an annual event Creighton rules a favorite over South Dakota, and Creighton supporters look for- ward to a victory. Creighton has a strong eleven this year and it has the fighting spirit, while South Dakota 'is shy those Coffeys and that Vidal who gave the Coyotes the edge. Last year Creighton surprised the northerners by fghting them to a 6-to-6 tie and checking the great Vidal, who is cutting such a swath in the east this fall. And this year the blue and white crew is stronger than ever and the lads from the school on the hill' are hoping for a victory. Mills has been drilling his men with an iron hand the last week, and he expects to have his eleven in its best fighting trim. He has been working overtime on the forward pass, and that means the Coyotes will run up against as nifty an aerial attack as there is in the country, and that means |a pretty game for the spectator, no matter what the outcome. Central High also rules a strong fa- vorite, as St. Joseph is not overly strong this year, while Omaha is. The Missourians have been walloped a| couple of times, but they promise to show a reversal of form and give the Omahans a good fight at least. The Nebraska-Notre Dame conflict promises to attract 1,000 Omahans to Lincoln turkey day. A special train will run from this city over the Bur- lington, leaving at noon and returning directly after the game. Auto Racer and Aid Killed in Practice Uniontown, Pa., Nov. 27.—While traveling at the rate of sixty miles an hour on the motor speedway in preparation for qualification tests for races to be held here on Thanksgiv- ing day, Charles M. Heist, aged 23, of Sharpsburg, Pa, a driver, and Frank K Bush of Pittsburgh, a mechanician, were killed today when the front axle of their machine broke. College Stars Will War On Nonpareils Creighton and University of Omaha stars, playing on the Townsend Gun company’s eleven, will clash Sunday afternoon on the Luxus gridiron with the Nonpareils.

D., Nov. 27.—(Spe- cial.)—South Dakota rooters are call- ing aloud for a victory. They are going 'to Omaha in droves Thanksgiv- ing day, expecting to see a South Da- kota victory. This attitude of the rooters has its effect on the team, which is resolved todeliver if that is within the limit of possibility. Despite a rather uneventful showing this fall, South Dakota’s squad is a much bet- ter squad than scores would indicate. Most of the men were without previ- ous university foot ball experience when the scason opened last October, but although an expensive school, ex- perience is a good teacher, The men are resolved to justify themselves-and acquit the team creditably Thanks- giving day. (Ireighton may be able to win, but on the South Dakota campus it is the current belief of the under- graduates that South Dakota has a fair chance and that the Coyotes will use this chance to the full, The South Dakota line is a husky one. Clark Elmore, 210-pound guard, is typical of the problem the South | Dakota coaches have wrestled with this year. Elmore, despite his inex- perience, has been gathering speed all fall, and should show his best gamc against Creighton. Hoy, 175-pound center, playing next to Elmore, is a fast, aggressive lineman and in the Creighton game Hoy and Elmore ought to be hard to stop. i Harmon, who formerly played with Creighton university, is a halfback on the Coydte team this year and has shown rapid development in the last few weeks. ; Despite the list of cripples, South Dakota will put a heavy and effective team in the field 'I‘hanksgw_mg day, and‘if the coaches succeed in co-or- dinating the Coyote machine, Creigh- ball to win. Henderson Arrives To Battle Caddock Mort Henderson, who is carded to tangle with Earl Caddock in the Council Bluffs Auditorium Wednes- day evening, arrived in Omaha late last night. Henderson deglares he is in the best of condition ‘and expects to earn a victory oveér the Anita, la., lad. “I consider myself fortunate that 1 have an opportunity to meet. Cad- | dock,” said Henderson, “as | am con- fident 1 can beat him. And if 1 do win 1 will have beaten one of the greatest wrestlers in the country.” Sale of the seats for the event has been brisk.

SUSSPUMAASIAeS Syl et EOSs e A ;\usi-svua\xll series game between the Omaha and Lincoln High schools to settle the state foot ball champion- ship is very probable C. A. Cairns, manager of athletics at Central High, and Coach Harold Mulligan, went to Lincoln yesterday for a conference with Fred Hunter, | superintendent of the Lincoln schools, | Principal Jesse Newlon of Lincoln High and Coak Herb Reese, | The Lincolh authorities did not ap- | pear particularly enthusiastic over the | proposed ‘post-season event. They | said they would consider such a game if Omaha will give Lincoln a’ fifty- fifty cut of the gate and agree to play the 1917 game in Lincoln. The Oma- ha men were inclined to believe this demand exorbitant and did not in- crease their original offer of a guar- antee of $150. May Lose to Sioux. Another matter that prompts Lin- | coln to hesitate in accepting Oma- | ha’s challenge is that Lincaln may not emerge victoriously from the con-| flict with Sioux City turkey day. P'l'i lard, the star Lincoln tackle, cracked his collar bone and will be unable to | play against the Sioux. Moore and | Pug Griffin are also in rather bad| shape. Sioux City has a strong eleven and many believe will win | from the Capital City lads. Omaha | defeated Sioux City last Saturday., | In case Sioux City does wallop Lin- coln, the Links will absolutely refuse | to meet Omaha, and, of course,| Omaha will have a kind of claim to- ward the state championship, even | though it is admitted it will not be a strong one, as Sioux City is not in Nebraska, At any rate, the Lincoln authorities will wait until after Thanksgiving to give their answer to Omaha's chal- lenge, but even though Reese's men win, local gridiron followers are not exf)ressing any confidence that Lin- coln will agree to pl ay. Principal Newlon o(} Lincoln High admitted after the conference that another combat is improbable. Turn to St. Joseph. Mulligan is turning his attention | now to St. Joseph, which he fears may | provest ronger than originally antici- | pated. St. Joseph has lost but one| game, that with a Kansas City High | school, by a 19 to 14 score. St. Jo- seph has scored 226 points to their | opponents’ 46. Omaha’s record is 203 | points to their opponents’ 23. The Missourians will outweigh Omaha | and they have a fast backfield, wlmlv‘ it is feared will give Mulligan's men trouble. The St. Joseph lineups and the weights of the men follow: | McGill, center, 180; Koch, right | guard, 175; Slater, right tackle, 165; | Graner, left guard, 210; Bealls, left tackle, 160; Light, right end, 35 Lange, left end, 145; Symon, quarte 140; Sellers, left half, 143; Meyers, right half, 153; Cash, full back, 160. The game will be played at Rourke park, Seats are on sale at the Town- lscnd Gun company.
