were treated TO some foot ball which
made the blood curl. The field was per-

Indians Are Stars.
The colors OF Creighton were every
where to be seen, while the colors of the
Indians we're missing. no one seeming to
know what their colors were. They were
not long without friends among the spec
tators. however, for the crowd seemed to
like the spectacular work OF little Means
and Island and Baird and gave them round
after round Of applause, The game was
pulled off in the most approved style,
very little time being taken out for any
cause except a few times for slight in
juries to the players. The crowd was
kept off the field so that the thousands
of spectators along the side lines might
get a full view of the interesting conflict
going on all over the gridiron. OF spec
tacular plays there were quite a few and
the ball was UP and down the field all
the time, with plenty of the open work,
incidental to the new style of play, which
the spectators like to see.

vantage and their kicks went farther. ISL
