GREAT CEOWD IN STANDS Krarlr Forty Thousand Spectators in I'aaal root Ball Costasnea See tbe Con teat Aanlyala ol , the Play. CAMBRIDGE, Mam., Nov. 20.-The splen did kicking of Captain Edward H. Coy brought the eastern Intercollegiate foot ball championship back to Taie today In an old-fashioned foot ball game, In which Harvard went down to defeat by a score I, of S to 0. Driving the Crimson team stead r lly back by his long punts, Captain Coy dropped two goals from the field, and the aggressive forwards of the Yale team con , trlbuted two points more by blocking a Harvard punt which resulted In a safety for the Crimson. While Yala seemed to win easily, the game wu a distinct disappointment from : a Harvard standpoint, for the Crimson ' eleen ahowed greater power than the Blue 1 In straight rushing and at one time In the game carried the ball fifty-three yard in ' four scrimmages. Yale disclosed no si.ectacular foot ball, wl lie Harvard resorted to but few open ! methods of play. It seemed Yale's policy to rely on Captain Coy's kicking rather ; than on any Intricate plays. Only twice In ' the contest did Yale seriously threaten the ; Crimson goal line by straight rushing. In ! both Instances the Harvard defense stopped , progress at the eleven-yard line and Cap ' tain Coy's efforts for field goals on these ' occasions failed. . Many Fumbles by Harvard. If Captain Coy had not Invariably out- kicked his ends the Yale score might have reached double figures, for the Harvard buck field waH unable to Judge the sky rocket punts and O'Flaherty fumbled nearly eviry kick. , The game started encouragingly for Har vard after O' Flaherty's muff. Kicking was resorted to and each time Mlnot received : yoi protection. Finally on his twenty .!'. yard line the ball was blocked and rolled back over the Crimson goal line, .where Corbett f e'.l on It for a safety. For the balance of the half the bull was always In Harvard's territory and ' three times unsuccessful tries for goals were made. With the ball on Harvard's twenty-five-yard line and, standing ten yards back, Captain Coy added three points more by a pretty field goal, with two minutes to spare. In the second half Harvard was driven steadily back until the ball was on the Harvard twenty-five-yard line. Here Cap tain Coy repeated his feat and three more points were added to Yale's score, Analysis of Play. The character of the game can be well understood by an analysis of the play: . Yale rushed fifty-one times for ninety eight yards. Coy punted twenty-three times from downs for 715 yards. The Yale back field ran back the Harvard punts for distance of eighty-eight yards; Yale had two first downs and suffered twice from penalties for a total loss of twenty-five yards. Harvard rushed eighty time for 224 yards and Mlnot kicked twenty-two times from scrimmages for 598 yards. The Yale kicks were run back for a total of thirty five yards, while Harvard scored eight first downs through the Yale line. Har vard's ten penalties showed an aggregate loss of ICO yards. Nearly 40.000 people. In the usual foot ball costumes, watched the game and urged on the players with constant cheering and tinging. Lineup: TALK. HARVARD.

OMAHA GATHERS IN ST. JOE High School Lads Wallop the Boys from Missouri. EXCELL AT ALL STYLES OF PLAY Jfew Game la Tried for Many Gains by Omaba Roys Wko Shine at All Polata of the Game. Omaha High. 18; St. Joseph High. 0. Omaha High school addod another vic tory to Its list Saturday when It defeated the St Joseph High by a score of 18 to 0. The game was played at the Vinton park and was ono of the best played contests seen there this year, both showing speed n running the tall and good tackling. The Omaha boys outplayed their opponents n offensive work and In interference, the back field doing especially well on line plunges and end runs. Omaha won by working together as a team on the de fensive and although the MIssourlans had very good team work they seemed to be unable to get away for any material gains. Omaha's line was a real stone wall to St. Joseph, even though Andrus, Omaha's big tackle, was not in the game. The St. Joseph line was a little lighter than Omaha's, but it hung on well except when Omaha massed a play on one point. Rec tor and Thompson would tear big holes In it whenever either of them would play tackle or guard around the center. Hatch and Underbill, who played baok for Omaha on the defensive, did great work In carry ing back the ball on punts. One thing that helped them much In this was tbe way in which Howard and Payne would box up the Missouri ends, preventing them from following the punts down. St. Joseph put Its reliance in punting and booting onslde kicks. Vorhees, right half, did great work In this line. May and Irwin hit the line hard enough, but did not have the necessary force to push them through for gains. On . end runs the In terference was unable to get the man with the ball away from Omaha's two ends and the rush line halves. St. Jo seph prevented Omaha from working many of the forward passes on which other teams have found Omaha so strong, but was not able in turn to get away with their own forwards. Gray did star lack- ling all through the game for St. Josepn. Omaha Fake Works. Probably the neatest play of the gam was made on the St. Joseph eight-yard line. Howard called for a fake end run. Howes received the delayed pass and went. through the guard for almost the eight yards, up to within two feet of the goal. Omaha won the tons and decided to kick. St. Joseph returned the kick. Omaha made its yards by line plunges by the backs. Thompson going through for ten yards. Omaha la penalised five yards for offside and loses the ball on the next down. St. Joseph punts. Hatch and Howard make a couple of end runs, then Omaha punts and St Joseph gets the ball on Its ten-yard line. St. Joseph punts and Omaha tries two forward passes and both are failures. .The ball Is punted back and forth a few times. May and Vorhees make some good gains, when Omaha gets the ball on Bt. Joseph's thirty-yard line. Burdlck tries for a field goal, but It falls, and Irwin returns the ball fifteen yards. St. Joseph loses the ball on downs. Omaha falls on another forward pass and loses the ball. Bt, Joseph punts, On the next down Thompson makes a suc cessful forward pass to Howard. Omaha punts. 8U Joseph punts and Hatch carries the punt back for twenty yards. Howes goes through the line and on the next down Mills makes an end run for thirty yards, placing the ball on the eight-yard line. Howes takes It to within two feet of the goal on a fake end run and a delayed pass play. Underhlll goes over goal and McWhlnney kicks goal. Score: Omaha, (; St. Joseph, 0. Underbill Makes Lone Return. Omaha kicked off and Bt. Joseph fuin bled the ball, and Omaha recovered It on the St. Joseph twelve-yard line. Omaha made Its downs and was penalised five yards for off-side. The ball went to St. Joseph on downs and was punted out. Underhlll made a splendid catch and car rled the ball back for twenty-five yards. Mills went over the line and McWhlnney kicked the goal. Scorei Omaha, 12; Bt Jo seph, 0. Omaha kicked off and on the first down May went through the line for eight yards. Both sides punted back and forth seven punts are made In the next ten downs. Hatch took the last one back for twenty five vards. Howard made an end run for twenty yards. St. Joseph got the ball after a couple of downs and punted It away from its goal. Hatch made an end run on a punt a few minutes afterwards, when time was called. St. Joseph kicked off In the second half and the ball was carried back and forth in St. Joseph's territory, with punts every few minutes. Omaha got the ball on punt and Underhlll returned it for fifteen yards. Payne made an end run for a flf teen-yard gain, and Howard went around the other end for ten. Omaha lost the ball on downs. St. Joseph punted It and Omaha carried It by steady gains of five to eight yards to the line, and Rector car ried It over. McWhlnney kicked goal. Omaha kfc-ked off and the remaining min utes of play were spent making' short gains and punting, except for a forward pass made by Thompson to Hatch for about twenty-five yards. The lineup: ST.

KANSAS WALLOPS D4WKETES Jayhawkers Take Game With Iowa ' Easily, 20 to 7. MISS0UBI GAME DECIDES HONOR Both Team a Play Old Style Foot Ilall at Lawrence and Gains Made by Kanaaa Through the Line. LAWRENCE. Kan., Nov. 20. (Special Telegram.) This afternoon on McCook field the Kansas foot ball team put away one more opponent In the race for the championship of the Missouri valley. The victims were the lowans of Coach Griffith, and the score was 0 to T. Kansas collected three touchdowns, one place kick and two goals, while the best Iowa could do was one touchdown and one safety. Kansas did Its best work in the first half, , when seventeen of its points were accumulated. In the second half, when Kennedy ran In his subs, Iowa made a better showing. Both sides played old style foot ball nearly all the time. Iowa used the forward pass for good gains on several occasions and that tells the story of the open game work. The safety for Iowa came early In the contest. Hyland had punted to Hell on the Kansas five-yard line. Lovett stepped behind the goal to punt, the ball fell from his grasp, and through recovering It, two points were counted for Iowa. Iowa's touchdown came near the end of the game. Ehret broke away for a thirty- yard run, putting the ball on the Jay hawkers' five-yard line. Hazard was pushed through for the necessary gain, but Hyland failed to kick goal. The Kansas touchdowns came mainly from hard line plunges and short end runs. Dahlene's touchdown, however, was sen sational. It was Iowa's ball on Its own thirty-yard line. Hyland took the pigskin preparatory to throwing a forward pass. Lovett rushed Into Hyland, the ball flew Into the air and Dahlene ran with It for the touchdown. Up to Jaybawkera and Tlgrera. Kansas and Missouri are now the only undefeated teams In the Missouri valley. The game between them Thanksgiving at Kansas City will settle the conference championship. Today Is the first time that Kansas' goal line has been crossed since Iowa turned the trick a year ago. Captain Gross played today with one arm strapped to his side. The coach withdrew him as soon as he saw his suffering was useless. The lineup: KANSAS. I Amnions, Ford L.B.IR g. Cmldwoll, row ...UT.R.T. DtTldaon, V. Smith.. UO.K.U. IOWA. Hyland .......

The second Omaha High school team de feated the second Council Bluffs team by a score of 1J to 0. In a preliminary game at Vinton park yesterday. Both teams played good ball, but the Omaha boys made steady gains on Council Bluffs, tak ing the ball down the field once in each half. The Iowa line was unable to with stand the plunges of Andrus and he kept going through during the entire game. Welrlch, the Omaha right half was the star of the game, running clear away from the Council Bluffs boys whenever he got the ball and breaking up the Bluffs' plays and droP:l;ng the man with the ball throughout the whole game. Smith the Council Bluffs left half, was by far the best player on his team, and did fine tackling and running during both halves. In the first half Council Bluffs carried the ball from Ha ten yard-line to Omaha's twenty yard-line, when Omaha took it steadily up to Council Bluffs goal. Welrlch went over the line and Andrus kicked goal. In the second half Omaha kicked off, got the ball and then fought its way steadily up to the goal and Welrlch again went over for a touchdown.

Peru Shuts Out Second Eleven in Snappy Game Hardest Fought Battle Upon Normal Field Goes to Normal, 5 to 0. PERU, Neb., Nov. 20. -Special Telegram.) The hardest fought game of the year was played on the normal gridiron today, when the norrr.alltes defeated the second Ne braska team by a score of 5 to 0. The field was still heavy from the rains of last week, but had been greatly Improved by the twenty loads of sawdust which had been spread over It. The weather was Ideal. The game was especially characterized by the enthusiastic rooting of the lare crowd In the grandstand, this being the beBt at tended game of the season. The normal team had been worked Into splendid condi tion by Coach Burnett and the victory was due in no small measure to his untiring efforts. The contest was fought Inch by Inch throughout and both teams played an excellent game. The second Nebraska team used the onslde kick and punts quite fre quently. It also used a crowfoot fake play with some success and made substantial gains with the forward pass. Gibson made good ground gains for the university during the second half. The normal team made several unsuccess ful attempts to pierce the center of the university line. The normalltes' main of fensive plays consisted of crossbucks and short kicks, their short kicks being re covered In several instances. End runs were tried very little by either team. The normalltes used fake punts several times with good suocess. The only touchdown was made by Peru In the first half on a fake place kick from the twenty-yard line, Just after Peru had recovered the ball from a long punt. Beck's kicking was the main feature of the game, as he used a great deal of head work In placing his kicks. The normal played a hard, fierce, grinding game, being little marked by spectacular plays. Tbe victory Is due to the hard work of every man on the team. McDowell was substi tuted for Colburn In the last half by the normals and Gibson for Ray by the univer sity. The lineup: fk.HU.

FAST WORK IN SECOND HALF Minnesota Unable to Do Anything; with Wolverine's Powerful Line After Striking; Real Gait. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. II. (Spe cial Telegram.) Outplayed, but not out gamed, Minnesota's flaanting maroon and gold was humbled Jhls afternoon before the furious attacks of the Michigan team. The score was 15 to 6 and Minnesota was fairly and squarely beaten. The first half ended 6 to d and a repetition of the famous game of 1P03 was looked for, when more than half of the la.H period of play had expired without a score, but suddenly one of Minnesota's forward passes was Intercepted by a Wolverine player. He had a clear'fleld In front and dashed the Intervening thirty yards over the goal line before Minnesota tould recover from Its surprise. A lltUe later Captain Allerdlca of Michigan booted a field goal and that put the figures to 16 to 6, at which the game ended. The Gophers fought their hardest for another score, but without avail. In hope that freshmen might be able to accom plish the trick, Dr. Williams sent Erdahl, Ostrand and Atkinson Into the lineup. The latter took McOovern's place at quarter back, and when the game little field gen eral, who had played nearly the entire game, walked to the side lines he was given one of the most enthuslastlo and yet respectful demonstrations that any Minnesota player ever received. McGovern In Lineup. When the teams ran on the field at the beginning of the game and It was seen that McGovern waa In the Gopher lineup, Minnesota stock took a Jump upward. But the captain was bandaged and harnessed on account of his lame shoulder, and it was impossible for him to play tbe game that had been expected of him. Seldom did McGovern get the ball, and only once did he receive the oval on formation. His Injury prevented him from playing back for punts on defense, and Rosenwald and Pickering handled the kicks which Aller dlce seht flying down the field at inter vals. There were but few who believed that Michigan could win and when the Wolver ines scored first In the opening period and Allordlce booted the goal, there were many Gophers with sore hearts. Minnesota got the score back later A trick play and forward pass, with Walker receiving the ball, enabled the big left tackle to plunge over for the Minnesota score. Farnum kicked goal and things were even. The Gophers were expected to come strong In the second half, but their show ing In the laat period of play was not nearly so powerful as that of Michigan. It Is estimated that the attendance was 22,000. Drop Kick Missed. After ten minutes of play an exchange of punts gave Minnesota the ball on Mich igan's thirty-five-yard line. A ctisB-cross to Stevens and line plunges by Rosenwald and Pickering took the ball to Michigan's eight-yard line. McGovern missed a drop kick on the fifteen-yard line and It was Michigan's ball. Then began a straight march for the Minnesota goal. Minnesota, securing the ball on Its own fifty-yard line, rushed it by line plunges and for ward pass to Michigan's nine-yard line, where Walker went over for a touchdown. In the second half Minnesota could do nothing with Michigan's powerful line and the two Wolverine ends were rarely able to stop the Gopher attack on the outposts. On the oth"r hand Michigan tore big holes in the Minnesota line and kept the ball In Gopher territory most of the time. Michigan's touchdown In the second half came when Magldsohn Intercepted McGov ern's forward pass on Minnesota's thirty-five-yard line and ran without Interfer ence for a touchdown, Allerdlce kicking goal. Allerdlce added three more points when he kicked a goal from placement after Pattenglll had made a fair catch on Minnesota's forty-yard line. The lineup: MINNESOTA.

EVERY MAN PROVES TO BE STAR nail Kept In Opponent's Territory Darlnsj Greater Part of Game Denver Seorca Dorlnsr Drare. DENVER, Nov. 30. (Special Tetcgram.) Nebraska humbled the proud Denver eleven by the score of to 5 In a fiercely fought battle at University park this afternoon, the CornhUHkers having a decided advant rge In the playing during the entire con test. Only costly funibllrg kept the pupils of "King" Cole from rolling up three addi tional touchdowns. Once the ball was fumbled on the one-yard line of the Denver eleven, after Frank had made a sensational run of thiaty-four yards. Twice before this the Cornhufkers muffed the ball when within the Denver ten-yard line. Play during both halves was In Denver's territory for the greater share of the time, and only for five minutes In the second ses slrn, when the local eleven scored, did Denver consistently play In the Cornhusk ers" territory. Nebraska made Its touchdown toward the c'ose of the opening half, when Rlghl Tackle Temple picked up a high punt of Schroedcr's and raced twenty yards for the Ministers' goal. Captain Beltzor booted the ball out from the goal line and Frank caught It. following this catch with a goal tl at gave his team six points. Denver scored after fifteen minutes of play In the second half by plowing through the Nebraska line after getting the ball on the thirty-yard line. Crowloy carried the ball over and Schroeder failed to kick goal. Before the game the dope predicted that Denver's powerful back field would be able to tear through the Cornhusker Una and olrcle its ends for long gains. With the exception of the five minutes when ths Ministers were going for their touchdown, though, they found Nebraska's defense Im pregnable. Crowley, right half, and Volk, left half, made some effective ground gains at right end, behind some excellent Inter ference, until the Cornhuskers solved the play, and then they were oheoked all the time. Cornhnnkers are Stars, Nearly every man on the Cornhusker eleven was a star and they probably played the best game they have put up since they met Minnesota. Denver was very fast and strong and It took a strong eleven to stop the offensive plays. Frank's long run and Elliott's sensa tional tackle of Flke when the latter player was going for a touchdown were the spectacular plays of the day. Frank's run was made from the thirty-five yard line and It took the ball to the Denver one-yard line. The Nebraska quarter darted and dodged through the Denver line so fast that the local players could not stop htm. His running was similar to that which made Denver famous at Nebraska. Elliott, who played right guard for Wol cott, and who was thought to be weaker than Wolcott, saved the game for the Cornhuskers, with one minute to play. Denver had the ball on Its forty-yard line and tried a trick play. The center and left guard remained In their positions, while the quarter pretended he had the ball and made a fake at an end run. This drew all the Cornhuskers to one side, then the center passed the ball to Flke, left guard, who was raolng for a goal, when Elliott downed him on the Denver fifteen yard line. The entire Nebraska line played sensa tional ball. Big Shonks did some of his famous smothering tackling and was a star from the sound of the whistle. Tem ple, Ewlng and Harte broke through the Denver line repeatedly and split up plays. Chauner and Johnson at ends did bettor work than in any other game of the sea son. Johnson, playing his last year, waa a wonder. Good on tbe Defense. Magor and Rathbone, with Captain Belt ser, did some great defensive work. Magor was a terror to every Minister. Rathbone drove holes in the Donver line for many gains of six and seven yards. Volk, Crowley and Schroeder were Den ver's backfleld stars and they played splen did ball. Greene, oenter, and Bruss, quar tarback, ware other Denver stars. A strong wind, which blew from the west, gave all advantage to the team defending the west goal.

CHAMPIONSHIP IS UNDECIDED Four Teams in Race for First Honors, Which May Not be Settled. COLLEGIANS FIGHT VALIANTLY Game is Transferred to Fort Crook Grounds Owing- to Mad at Bellevue. MORTON AND LUKE ARE STARS Doth Fight Gamely for Respective Teams Doane Handicapped by Absenre of Hart well Each Goal Endangered. ' " Doane, 0; Bellevue, 0. Doane and Bellevue played for sixty five minutes to. a 0 to 0 tie Saturday afternoon at Fort Crook and the state championship Is In the worst mlxup In years, four teams being tied for the honors. As the season la far advanced this may never be settled. Doane has tied Bellevue, Hastings and Wesleyan and beaten Grand Island and Peru. Bellevue has tied Doane, Hastings and Wesleyan and thus it stands with four teams even fer first honors. The game was transferred from Bellevue to Fort Crook because of the muddy con dition of the Bellevue grounds. Bod covered the entire field at Fort Crook, but In this the going was heavy and spec tacular runs were few and far between. The Doane Tigers were accompanied to Bellevue by 125 student rooters, most of whom carried megaphones, through which they sang to the accompaniment of their cadet band. Bellevue rooters had the Sixteenth Infantry band from Fort Crook. Nearly 1,000 of Uncle Sam's soldiers In uniform witnessed the game, making It spectscular as the purple and old gold of Bellevue vied with the orange and black of Doane for supremacy. Great Honor at Stake. Much was at stake In ths annual battle between these two leading Institutions, for on ths result hung the state champion ship for which the colleges of Nebraska fight so vigorously each fall. Doane came strongly heralded, as .he coach, Cody Clark, had developed one of the best teams Doane ever had. The line was heavy and the back field fast, making the team look somewhat superior on paper to the Bellevue boys. Doane had all the con fidence In the world, while the Bellevue players and rooters wsre somewhat fear ful before the superior confidence, which the wearers of the orange and black dis played as thsy took Bellevue by storm shortly after noon Saturday. The change In arrangements, whereby the game was played . at Fort Crtok In stead of Bellevue, was made In a hurry and as a consequence the lines were dim on the grass and wore away soon after the game started, thus making ths work of the officials extremely difficult No slds lines were provided to keep the large crowd back, but a squad of soldiers was detailed by Colonel Gardener to assist that the championship game might be played on the best field possible. Tbe work of Ban Cherrlngton was excep tionally fine and was one of the best jobs of refereelng seen In this part of the country for some time. ' Battle la Earnest. Doane won the toss and choss to defend the west goal Willi the advantage of the wind and this was sufficient to keep the ball In Bellevue territory most of the first half. As no scores were made Doane had the wind in the first half and In the seoond Bellevue had the same advantage and the battle waged about . even until within a few minutes of ths closs, when Doane started a rush toward Bellevue's goal, which looked as though It might be suc cessful, but It was stopped on ths seven yard line Just as time was called. Doane rooters felt confident that with a few more minutes of play they oould have carried the pigskin over the goal and won Uie coveted prise of the title of Nebraska state champions. Captain Mortor of the Bellevue team was easily the star of the game by his strong detensive playing, which kept the heavier Doane plungers and sprinters from gaining time after time. He played near the line of the left end on defensive and more than half the time was the man to make , the tackle. Dow vied with the captain for stellar honors and broke through the heavy Doane line repeatedly, on one occasion blocking a kick which nearly proved fatal to Doane's championship aspirations. Cla baugh, from his position at left half, was called upon to do moat of the carrying for Bellevue. Luke of Doane showed clearly why he Is given credit for being the best center In the state. He Is a heady player and his defensive plunges were responsible for the breaking up of many of the Bellevue plays. The absence of Captain Hartwell from the game was a great loss to Doane, al though the team seemed to be handled fairly well. To Holbert at right half fell the brunt of the carrying for Doane, and also the kicking, and he did his part well, often booting the ball for over forty yards. His kicks were lunger than those of Belle vue. The Cpen game waa not played as muoh as some of the spectators would have liked and when It was tried it worked well over half the time. Both Doane and Bellevue made several substsntlal gains by this style of play. Each team was within st-Iking distance for a drop kick, and each of the experts missed on their trials. Rut few returns were made of punts, as the ends were down fast for both teams. Primrose blocked several returns by beating the ends down the field. The lineup: DOANE.
