university wallop Doane college on Creigh-
ton field yesterday afternoon. IL to 5.
Creighton won by superior team work and
because Doane's line, slowly gave way before
the trip-hammer pounding by the backs
and tackles, while the 0mRhan's forwards
we're invincible throughout.
But the Varsity. had no easy Victory. The
personnel Of Doane's team had been radi-
cally changed since its defeat by Nebraska;
in fact, but four Of the players in that
contest were in the lineup yesterday. Only
after forty-hve minutes Of play did the
game slip through the visitors hands and
then not by iukes OF accidents, but because
the Dosne men had met their betters.
Touchdown in Each Half.
Creighton made one touchdown in each
half and Captain Walker kicked both goals.
On both sides the playing was clearly
throughout and disputes few and easily set
tied.
WEIGH and Walker were the Titans who
performed the herculean task OF demolish-
ing Doane's line. BY terrible plunges. three
yards at q time, they carried the oval to
the goal posts and over. Mustain's break
for a Touchdown with a run Of thirty Ave
ysrds through Z broken fsld with opponents
springins up In his path at every turn was
thrilling. MeGovern's work on defense and
offense was, scientific. Callahan in spite Of
the snappy playing Of the opposition's ends
made splendid gains on quarterback plays
and Creighton's forward we're towers Of
strength and solidity.
Virgil Bowlby stood longer in the glare OF
calcium for Doane than any Of his confreres.
His playing, his judgment as field captain
and Lis help In starting formations quickly
and effective were most excellent. In the
first half on a quarterback run, he scored
Doane's only touchdown.
Captain Fuhrer, Vance at left half and
Murphy at right tackle were Crete's other
ground gamers. Fullback Windland's punt
Ing was Of a long-distance order and gave
Ed Creighton a close race for the kicking
honors Of the day.
How IL Was Done.
For ten minutes the two teams swayed
up and down the field in the first half be
fore Creighton was able to score. It
seemed a tussle In which forces were
evenly balanced. Creighton made good
gains, but either on fumbles or downs
would surrender the ball before Crete's
goal would be seriously endangered. Doane
in turn would make magnificent spurts;
Its backs were whlrlwlnds Of strength and
speed. and Creighton's best efforts were
futile at times in staying their progress.
Finally Creighton massed its forces and
adopted Ellick's hammering tactics. Slowly
the ball was worked down the field to the
thirty-hve-yard line, and then, behind the
solid and speedy interference Of seven men,
Mustain galloped to the post for a touch
down.
Doane's turn came soon. Creighton held
for downs in midheld and Windland punted
to the twenty-yard line. Omaha failed to
gain and Houston, Windland and Fuhrer
carried the bail up to the hve-yard line.
Despite their fercest efforts Crete gained
not a yard for two downs. but then. on a
most hazardous fake pass Quarterback
Bowlby took Doane's hopes and hearts to
his keeping and leaped for a touchdown.
BOwIby's Clever stunt.
Hiss success INDICATED his judgment,
The Creightonites had massed their play
on the center attacks of their opponents
and Bowlby was back of their goal line
before they could recover. Windland failed
in a diflcult try for goal and the score
