Despite One Defeat May Claim Col
lege

HASTINGS, Neb.. Nov. 1O.-(Special)-
Hastings college is determined to cinch the
state foot ball championship in the game
with Doane in this city next Saturday. Two
games remain to be played in the intercol-
legiate s~eries-Doane and Hastings and
Bellevue and Doane. In the matter of
scores so far Hastings has made by far the
best showing of any team In the assocla-
ton, even counting its defeat by a score Of
4 to 0 at Bellevue ten days ago, Its own
scores so far aggregate upwards of 100.
Everyone here believes that Hastings has
a better team than Bellevue, a fact which
was quite clearly proven by the reports Of
the Bellevue game in the Omaha papers.
Doane is an uncertain quantity, but is not
expected to win the championship. 1t is
believed here the honor viii go to either
Bellevue or Hastings, depending upon which
makes the better showing against the Crete
aggregation.
OF no less Importance locally will be the
game with the University Of Nebraska sec
ond team on Thanksgiving day. A week
from next Saturday Hastings plays the uni
versity first team at Lincoln. While victory
over the varsity would be impossible, of
course, Hastings is expected to hold the
score down to a comparatively low figure,
and some are ~sanguine enough to believe
it will not be a shut out for Hastings.

TROUBLE EXPECTED WITH KANSAS
Jsyhawkers Trained to the Hour for
Nebraska

LINCOLN, Nov. lO,-Cspecial.) -Since Sat
urday the confidence of the Cornhuskers
In their ability to defeat Kansas has been
turned into grave concern lest the jay
hawkeTs show unexpected strength and win
out. Up to Saturday Kansas had been
looked upon as a weak team. but the re-
markable showing the Sunflower men made
against the strong Washburn eleven proved
hat they are to be reCkoned with as among
the best teams in the Missouri valley.
The Nebraska players and coaches had
expected Kansas to have a hard m
defeating Washburn and never imagined
that it would be strong enough to run up
a score OF 3 points. Last season Wash
burn, with practically the same team that
X has this season, won from the Jayhawk-
ers by a decisive score and it was sup
posed that the trick might be repeated
again this fall. But Kansas had been hold
ing. back its strength for Washburn and
had an easy time securing a victory.
In meeting Kansas the Nebraska coaches
fear that the Cornhuskers may be stale
after their two hard battles with Iowa and
Ames, and even though the Jayhawkers
should not be exceptionally strong. might
not be able to win. IL is with this in mind
that King Cole has taken up the work
this week, and he has warned the men
ton. He will not give them much hard
serimmase this week and this will permit
the men who received bruises at Omaha to
get into condition again. The schedule OF
the Jayhawkers so far this season has
been light, ana this gives then an advantage
over Nebraska which Coach Cole has keeniy
sized up.
SO far this fall Kansas has not had a
hard game. The heavy part of it's schedule
begins with Saturdays game against the
C~ornhuskers. Iowa and Missouri following
November q and 26. Coach Kennedy's
men have not had I eoxert themselves mucl
as yet and should be in the best of shape
for Nebraska. The pupils of King" Cole
on the other hand have just come through
three big games and show the strain that
any team must which has Mayed Mime,

When Kansas comes to Lincoln next Sat.

been training his men especially for this
game and ii is rumored that he has MANY
new plays In reserve for use then. He has

he saw the Ames game he says the Jay.

reported for work. Temple is recoverinl
from the injury to his arm and will joli

The Creighton coaches have been having
their hands full trying 10 round into shape
the cTipples OF the foot ball squad for the
approaching game with the st. Louis
university in the Mound City next Satur-
day afternoon.
The Kansas game was disappointment to
the Creighton. due to the fact that a
patched-up line had to take the place Of
the regular first team. With such men as

Creighton's star tackle. Bakule missing

The Creighton aggregation of foot ball
men will leave Omaha Thursday night over
the Wabash read. thus enabling the players
a day Of rest before the big game scheduled

Failure to obtain student rates will limit
the foot ball party to about twenty-five

New evidence has been discovered I'm the

The Tigers have returned from Des Moines

games with Washington and Kansas. Not

Coach Monllaw'S men are all in good shape
except Gilchrist, who is suffering from an
injured side, but he will round into form
in time for the Thanksgiving day game.
Missourfs showing against the fast Drake
eleven Saturday was entirely satisfactory,
both to coaches and %rooters. Drake made
first down only three times and never got
closer to the Tiger goal than the twenty
yard line. on the other hand, the Tigers
made first down sixteen times and were
within the Drake ~fifteen-yard line five
times that no counting was done, owing
to fumbles or bad headwork. Missouri
rushed the ball 24 yards by line bucks.
while Drake annexed only 1874 yards by
this method, and the Tigers completely out
played the Drakeites with the forward pass
and open game.
No one here was surprised or frightened
by the score which Kansas rolled up on
the weak Washburn team Saturday. Wash

YALE LINEUP is SHIFTED
Four Men Are Retired, Positions of
Seven Changed.

NOW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 10.-The
greatest shift which has been made in d
Yale foot ball team at this time of the
season came today when seven of tho
eleven men were moved and four re-
tired.
The greatest change. of all was the
shifting of Coy. the regular fullback, to
the end position, played by his brother,
Sherman Coy, in the fall of 1900. A. r..
Brides, who has been playing right half
back, was put in at left tackle. Hams,
who played halfback in the Brown game.
has been given the regular position OF
left end. Hobbs was removed from left
tackle and Lille put in his place. John
son replaced Murphy at quarterback and
DAILY took Brides old position. rhil,in
stayed at left halfback and Field took
Coy's place, Three linesmen retained
their position, the guards, Andrus and
Gobel. and the center, Biddle.
These changes were decided on by a
council of coaches. The team as IL now
stands will line up against Princeton
with perhaps the possible exc, ption OF
Field or Philbin. one Of whom viii be re-
