twenty strong, arrived in Omaha over the
Burlington yesterday afternoon ready for
its game with Creighton at Vinton park
Saturday afternoon. They are husky look
ing warriors.
The team is accompanied by Coach John
p. Koehler, for three years a Nebraska
star. who played his fourth year at the
University Of Chicago, and was preceded by
Manager J. l.. Garland, a well known
Denver newspaper man.
In a single season the Denver team has
risen from an aggregation Of Indifferent
strength to the position Of Leadership, be-
ing at present the champion eleven OF the
Rocky mountain region. This season it
defeated the University of Utah, which de-
feated the Colorado School of Mines for
the title. Saturday, November T. Denver
plays the Miners in Denver in what will be
the crucial contest Of the season in Colo
RADIO. Speaking of the Denver team, Man
sger Garland says:
About a year ago the University Of Den
yer got a little weary of being dictated to
and beaten regularly by teams from the
small college towns Of the state and the
authorities determined to place Denver ath-
letics on a par with those at Chicago, st,
Louis, Omaha and other big city institu-

wise to abide by the strict faculty confer
ence rules on eligibility obtaining in Colo
RADIO. This made the building up of even
a fair eleven in one season a most difficult
task, as the Colorado rules bar men who
have played four years; men who played
at any other school the year before; re-
quires candidates to be full high school
graduates: to keep up a passing grade In
twelve hours Of work a week; enforce tho
amateur rules strictly and enforce these
rules to the letter.
Had to Take Highs.
LAS the University OF Colorado gets most
of the Colorado high school students, and
as the Miners are alone permitted to get
men who played the previous year in the
east and graduated. Denver was forced to
depend upon high school and preparatory
men from outside Colorado. who were at
tracted by the advertising the city received
through the national democratic conven-
ton.
'"There are only three veterans on the
team-namely. Captain Brusse at quarter,
Pruter at guard and Lieber at tackle. The
rest are green, but willing.
Because of the hard battle next week
with the Miners. Denver probably will pre-
sent a different back field against Crelgh-
ton than has been used in any game this
season, the regulars being reserved to go
in to meet any emergency.
Denver regards the Creighton game as
most important because of the inter-city
relations to be fostered, providing pleasant
relations can be established and main
tanned. Denver would like to have Creigh-
ton visit the Rocky Mountain Queen City
next fall, where the Omaha boys would
draw well. Utah drew between 1900 and
5000. In a driving snow and sleet storm
the Colorado Aggies drew 500 and the Car
isle Indian post-season game will bring
out not less than 10000 people Saturday
December 5, despite the fact that the Den
vre school and it's field is seven miles from
the heart of the business district.
No Agreement on Officials.
"No agreement has yet been reached
about officials. Stuart, Graham and Cronk
originally agreed upon, having other en-.
gagements. AS the Denver management
leaves the selection of officials strictly VI
to the coaching department, no agreement
will be possible until Coach Koehler ar.
rives."
Creighton is Ready.
All the necessary preparations for the
game with the Denver university eleven al
Vinton street park have been completed by
the Creighton management, which expects
judging from the sale of tickets, to have
an unusually large crowd of rOoters OF
hand to cheer their respective teams t
victory. The Colorado aggregation will con
sist of more than the foot ball squad, a.
the team has a number of followers willing
to travel TO Omaha to see their colleg,
men in action on the foot ball gridiron.
SO as to be rested up for the game, tn,
Grizzly Bears left Denver early Wednes
day morning and are now in Omaha, wait
ing for the referees whistle to set then
in action.
Last Saturday was an off day on thu
Denver schedule, as Coach Deacon

they line up against the Creighton mole
