Delayed Pais is a Ground Gainer for
. Creighton.
MARRDT DOES SOME FINE WORK
Falls Off Substantial Gains Several
Times When Both Teams Art
Tangled and He Gets
. the Ball.
Creighton, IS; Highland Park. 0.
' Creighton university triumphed over Its
old time enemies of Des Moines Saturday
at Vinton street park when It defeated
Highland Park team by the score of IS to
ft In a gams full of sensations and strictly
up-to-date.
The gams waxed warm so did the
weather from the very .start and all the
new tricks allowed by the changed rules
wsra given a try-out. At these Creighton
excelled for one reason and that was Its
magnificent line. The giant seven were
there on both attack and defense. It the
backs wanted to get - away with some ex
ceptionally good play they were assured
a fair field In which to accomplish their
purpose, because the line was sure to de
liver the goods. If a forward pass was at
tempted the line gave the quarter ample
opportunity to get the ball away and on
nearly every occasion the end was ready to
receive the ball.
On the defensive also, the line did excel
lent work, and scarcely a time during the
hour of play did Hlgland Park make Its
distance on straight foot ball. That line
was tearing up things all day. At times,
however. In the first half, Highland Park
managed to hold Its own pretty well
against the charging of the heavier line
and Creighton was able to score but once
during the first half.
Marrln a Sensation.
. The delayed pass was a great ground
gainer fqr Creighton and several times
Captain Marrln called for the ball, stood
till and when tha other twenty-one players
were all mixed up he would start down
the field and several times made substan
tial gains.
Morganthaler 'and Lee- proved themselves
a pair of tackles hard to beat and the way
they tors holes In that Mornlngstde Una
was a caution. Morganthaler played with
bis arms bare and was easily marked by
the spectators, but hs would have been In
the limelight anyway, as on several occa
Ions he pulled oft sensational stunts. One
a forward pass was tried. The signal was
for the ball to go to the end. The end
touched the ball and missed It. Morgan
thaler was following close behind and as
soon as a Highland Park man had touched
the ball he grabbed It and made several
more yards. It was this splendid gain
that put Creighton within striking distance
of the goal and gave a chance for the first
touchdown which followed in a short time.
Crelchton Wins the Toss.
Creighton won the toss and chose to de
fend the south goal with small advantage
from wind. 'After the klckoff and a failure
at the center Murray went around the
right end for twenty yards and on the next
play Murray lost twenty yards by running
back when he attempted a quarter-back
run. An interchange of punts followed
When Highland Park secured the ball near
the center of the field. Two attempts to
plunge on the tackle failed. A kick was
called for, but the ball went high In the
air and did not cross the line of scrimmage.
Morganthaler nailed the ball for a sub
stantial gain by reason of the fluke.
Creighton foozled on a forward pass and
booted. Highland Park worked two suc
cessful forward passes for fifty yards. Van
Nocker to Warren. The ball was getting
close to Crelghton's goal line but the line
held and all was soon safe for Creighton,
who got the ball on downs. A forward
pass, - Murray to Marrtn, made twenty
yards and Creighton kicked.

which ended In the first touchdown of the
game. Morganthaler made fifteen yards
through the line and the fluke forward
pass from Murray to Morganthaler netted
twenty yards more. Maglrl made a plunge
Into the line for eight yards and on

end for a touchdown and Murray kicked
goal, after twenty-four . minutes of play
There was no further scoring in the first
half.
Oelzatoa HecsTtn tha Ball.
Creighton recovered the ball after It had
been kicked off at the opening of the first
half and started again for the goal, but
the Iowans soon stopped the rush. Mor
ganthaler made a rush of ten yards and
Marrln made ten mors, but Creighton lost
the ball on an attempt at forward pass.
After a general Interchange of punts,
both aides tried forward passes and failed.
Murray pulled off one of the sensational
plays of the day by returning a punt forty
yards, dodging right and left through the
Highlanders, who were striving to head
Mm off. Ha placed the ball on Highland
Park's twenty-yard Una and" on the next
play McKinney circled the end for a touch
down from which Murray kicked goal after

OWA OUT OF THE RUNNING
Defeat by Missouri Puts it Out of the
Championship Class.
SCORE THIRTEEN TO TWELVE
Hawkeyes Play an Krratle Game, at
Times Is Brilliant, bat Attala
Indifferent, While Mis
souri Is Consistent.
IOWA CITT, la., Oct. 80. (Special Tel
egram.) Iowa was deflnlte'y put out of
the Missouri valley championship race
when Missouri won a hard-fought game
here today by a score of 11 to 12. The
Tigers scored a touchdown In each half
and a place kick by Pluck In the first
period of play. The Hawkeyes braced
later In the game and with splendid
marches down the field scored two touch
downs, both being made by Murphy, who
was put In at fullback for Wright In the
second half. The weather was too hot
for foot ball and both teams suffered In
consequence, Iowa more than Missouri.
Several substitutions were made In the
second half.
Iowa played erratlo foot ball. For two
periods of six minutes each the Hawk-
eyes played the foot ball which tied Ne
braska and even better, but the general
showing was poor. Missouri had the bet
ter of the argument most of the game,
The Tiger backfleld was strong and time
after time punctured the Iowa line for
big gains. Line bucks by Bluck, Alexan
der and Wilder, together with Hall's
SDlendld punting, were the features of
the game from the Missouri standpoint.
Little Saunders ran the team well and
played heady foot ball, picking the weak
spots In the Iowa line with accuracy. Fee
got away with one long run, but his
handling of punts w-as not up to expecta
tions. When the team braced In the sec
ond half his play was fine and he ran
the team with rare Judgment. Murphy
was the star Iowa ground gainer. The
nervy fullback, despite the Injury sus
tained In the Nebraska game, played
great foot ball and his tucking made
possible the two Iowa touchdowns. Cap
tain Gross and Hyland played a good
game for the Hawkeyes, and Hyland's
running with the ball was one of the
features of the second half. Halfback
Dyer shared honors with Murphy In the
long advance for the second Iowa touch
down. Missouri scored after eighteen minutes
of play in the first half of splendid line
bucking; Alexander crossed the line.
Bluck made a place kick eight minutes
later from the field and the half ended
S to 0. In the first minute of the period
of play Wilder broke through the line
for a fifty-five-yard run. Bluck mlssad
goal, making the score IS to 0. Iov;a
rushed a touchdown across twelve min
utes later, largely through the' splendid
bucking of Murphy and Dyer. Later. In
the half O'Brien grabbed a kick, recover
ing the ball for Iowa. Iowa repeated Its
forward march In the same manner and
after Hyland kicked goal. The score
lacked one point of being tied. The game
ended In three more minutes. Lineup:

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. SO.-Outplayed
at every point of the game, Syracuse was
beaten, 43 to 0, by Michigan, this after

points of today's play.
The game was replete with sensations.

WEST POINT FAILS TO SCORE
Harvard Scores Twice on the Army

WEST POINT. N. T., Oct. 30. Harvard
scored twice on the army here today In a
hard fought game of foot ball and would
probably have added, at least another field
goal to its tally had not tlma been called.
ten minutes early In the second half, be
cause of serious Injuries received by Bryne,
the army left tackle, whose condition Is
critical.
Harvard gave the best exhibition of the
forward pass seen at West Point this year.
The passes were not long but they were
sure; only one failed. The army tried
the onside kick twice once In the first half
for a gain of thirty-five yards, and once
In the second half for a loss when the ball
went directly to Leslie, the Harvard left
half back, who caught it.
Frothlngham's poor Judgment of punts
lost Harvard much ground In the first
nau, uui iiis accural! lonowing or Inter

through broken fields were substantial
factors in obtaining the crimson her vie

Northwestern Team Defeated in Hard
Battle by Score of Twenty
One to Eleven.
' EVANSTON, 111., Oct 90. Wisconsin de
feated Northwestern by the score of 21 to
11 in a hard gridiron battle on the North
western field today. Wisconsin displayed
far more knowledge of both new and old
foot ball than did their opponents, and tha
better team won. Both teams relied largely
on the old style smashing, game and only
now and then was there a flash of the new
and mora open game. Wisconsin tried the
forward pass several times and only two of
these were successful, while Northwest
ern did not use this play until near the
end of the second half and this Ion
attempt failed dismally.
Anderson, the pew Wisconsin end, was
the star of the game. His end-runs on end
fake punts gained many yards, while time
after time his punts went far over the
Northwestern fullback's head and aided his
team In scoring. The Northwestern ends
were lamentably ' weak and appeared un
able to decide whether Anderson would
kick or run with the ball. Several of
Anderson's runs, from his punting forma
tion, netted more than twenty-five yards.

Bellevue worked a neat play with a long
pass to Claybaugh, wailing at the side
lines, but It netted them only twenty
yards. The ball was lost to Hastings on
downs and In the next ten minutes changed
hands frequently about the center of the
field. All uncompleted forward pass was

Kansas Walks
Over Washburn
and Wins Easily
Coach Kennedy Uses Straight Foot
Ball and Refuses to Uncover
His Trick Plays.
TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. . (Special Tele
gram. ) Kansas defeated Washburn col
lege here today by a score of 17 to 0. Three
touchdowns, two In the first half and one
In the second, with two goal kicks, made
the total. Fighting against heavy odds In
weight, the Washburn lads put up a ter
rific struggle, but to no avail. They were
never close enough to the Kansas goal In
possession of the ball to even try for a field
goal. However, twice In the game they
gave the Jayhawker aggregation severe
scares by taking the ball for fifteen and
twenty-yard gains on trick plays. Coach
Weede's men had a bunch of their plays,
but could not- make them work enough
times In succession to get the cherished
score. It was a fierce conflict through
two thirty minute halves, with Washburn
fighting on the defense in Its own terri
tory most of the time. Fumbles were fre
quent, particularly by tha locals. Time had
to be taken out many times on account of
the excessive heat and frequent slight In
juries. The forward pass was tried only
once In the game, Washburn making an
attempt, but losing the hall.
Kennedy's men played almost exclusively
straight foot ball, hitting the line and
rushing the ends. No critic could have
said today that the Kansas team was not
fast, for the plays were worked off all
through the game In speedy fashion. There
were no long runs for touchdowns, but
several times Lovett, Dahlene,. Magill,
Pleasant and Johnson broke away for gains
of fifteen, twenty and twenty-five yards.
Lovett and Pleasant each carried the ball
once for a distance of thirty-five yards.
Washburn was expecting to be compelled
to fight the outside pick hard, but to the
surprise of everyone who . wanted to see
this favorite play of Kennedy's, It was
pulled off but twice-and then so quickly
that Washburn did not know what had
happened.
Coach Cole of Nebraska was known to be
In the bleachers and the Jayhawker quar
terbacks had evidently been given instruc
tions to pull off no fancy plays. All three
touchdowns were made by slow pegging
down the field with 'occasional short
spurts. Only once and that on the first
touchdown, did Kansas make a steady
march across the field. "Tommy" John
son piloted the squad from his own twenty
yard line straight across the field on short
gains to a touchdown. Smiley was the
one star of the Washburn team, but Whit
comb and McCarroll, also did great work.
These men took the ball for good gains a
half doaen times, but could not gain con
ecutlveljr. Coach Weeda expressed his
appreciation of the fight his men had made
against a superior team and praised Ken
nedy's eleven highly.
The lineup was as follows:
KANSAS.
Carlton
Lovett
HanAall
Brownlee, Ford,

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 30. (Special.)
With substitutes In the backfleld for
most of the game and with several new
players In the line during the second
half, Nebraska this afternoon defeated tha
Doane collegians, 12 to 0, on Nebraska
field In two short halves. ,
The Cornhuskers played under strict or
ders to hold In all new plays and to con
serve their strength for the Kansas game.'v
In obeying these Instructions they were
content to permit the Crete men to ham
mer away at the line without making
gains and to essay a great many open
plays themselves.
Doane was helpless before trfe stron '
Cornhunker forwards and succeeded 1
niHsing us uowns nut once, mat oeina
on the third attempt, when an end rnr
netted about five yards r.fter the flraj
part of the distance had been mad ori
straight football. ,
Nebraska made- a touchdown In each i.
nair. The Initial scoring was done after
Wilkinson fumbled one of Bturtineg
ger's punts. A husky Cornhusker recov
ered the oval on the Doane twenty-yard
line. On the first play Magor took the
ball to the five-yard line, when he and
Rathbone executed a neat forward pass.
It took a great effort to push through
the Crete team's line for the remaining
distance to the goal line, but Temple'
finally plunged off right tackle and
shoved the oval over. Rathbone kicked an
easy goal.
It was not until toward the fag end of
the second . session that the Cornhuskers
got their second six points. Arnold punted
from his own thirty yard line to Ne
braska's fifty yard line. Captain Belt sex,
who had Just been sent In to take Mc
Donald's place at left half, caught the ball
and raced back to the Doane five yard
line in the prettiest piece of broken field
running seen on the Nebraska field In sev
eral years. He received the ball on the
north side of the field and when he was
stopped at the five yard line he was nearly
t the south side of the grounds.
In two trials Harte was thrown across
the line for this second touchdown and
Frank kicked a pretty goal. For the rest
of the game Nebraska was contented to
punt the ball and kept lt well Into Doane
territory.
Nebraska Goal Always Safe. .
Nebraska's goal never was In danger dur
ing either half of the" contest though Ar
nold of the visitors tried to place kicks
that went wide of their mark.
The Doane defense was much stronger
than the Cornhuskers had anticipated and
for the first half was a big puzzle to' the
new backfleld. Greenness of the substl?
tutes in the backfleld kept the Cornhuskers
from gaining more ground than they
should have.
At ' the opening of the game Cole sent
Rathbone to quarter, McDonald to right
half, Elliott to full, and Sturtznegger half.
This quartet did not work well on the of
fense, although they were strong on the
defense. Rathbone hurt his shoulder In
the early minutes of the game and was
replaced by Hascall, who played a good
article of ball.
Shonka at center for ths Cornhusker
played another of his spectacular game
and held the Crete center to the bad all tha
time. He was In nearly every play and
distinguished himself by making several
pretty tackles. s
During the closing minutes of play Cola
sent In two regulars for the back field.
One of these was Beltzer and the other
was Frank. Frank took Hascall's place at
quarter and showed up In some fast play.
Sturtznegger stayed through the whole
game at right half and did some excellent
work In running back punts. He did not
do any fumbling and punted well .while
that task was left to him.
Arnold and Holbut did the kicking for
Doane and were nearly equal to the var
sity punters. Arnold got off several good
punts In the second half.
Griffith, left end of the Doane eleven,
played a brilliant game and broke up sev
eral of the Cornhusker plays. He was
speedy In getting down on punts, and,
with Hartwell, right end, prevented many
long returns by the Cornhuskers.
Wilkinson, quarter, kept his team playing
fast ball and used excellent head work at
the critical periods.
Forward Pass Works Well.
The Cornhuskers were very successful In
the use of the forward pass and onside
kick and succeeded In executing each of
them on three or four occasions for good
gains .
All the Cornhuskers were careful to pre
vent any Injuries and at times when they
might have made good gains by using their
strength, they held In reserve their forces.
Coach Clark of the Crete men had his
men coached to break up several of the
Cornhuskers' plays and many times they
succeeded well in doing this. The attempts
to pierce the Doane line was often frus
trated and the Cornhuskers had to kick
or resort to open plays.
The Nebraska forwards again played the
superior ball that held a solid front against
both Minnesota and Iowa and the Doane
men were at times bewildered In trying
to drive plsys at the guards and tackles.
Wolcott showed up in fine form at tackle
and played the best game of the season.
Harte, Temple, and Ewlng put up the sania
steady game that marked their play
against Minnesota.
With the exception of Rathbone the
whole Cornhusker team came out of the
game In fine shape. Rathbone' Injury to
hi shoulder is not believed te be serious
