As South Omaha has a good little team,
both sides were given a chance to try out
some new plays and formations, and the
coaches were able TO get a better line on
the different candidates.

sEMI-FINALs IN wOMENs' COLI
Miss Campbell, Mrs. Fox, Miss Phelps
and Mrs. Barlow Play Today.

PHILADELPHIA. oct. THE last Of the
New York and Chicago golf players we're
defeated today in the third round Of match
play at the women's annual national golf
championship over the Marion Cricket club
links, so the remainder OF the contest will
be a three-cornered struggle between two
Philadelphians, one Boston woman and a
Scottish player. Miss Campbell, British
champion, won her match today and there
is a general feeling that she stands an
excellent chance of carrying the title home
with her.
Such an outcome would be so unprece-
dented that 1t has not been seriously con-
templated until within a day or two. Miss
Campbell beat Mrs. Charles T. Stout, New
York, former national and Metropolitan
champion, 2 up, in a match which showed
that she is possessed of sound golfing
principles, although much of her play was
ordinary enough. In straightness and APP
preaching she approxlmates perfection.
She will tomorrow meet Mrs. Caleb Fox,
Philadelphia, who today beat Miss Frances
Usher, by up and 2 to go. A much closer
result had been expected, Miss Teacher
being the favorite. =
In the lower half of the draw. Miss Mar
gerry Phelps, Boston, beat Miss Edith
Noblitt, Wilmington, 1 up, and Mrs. Ron
aid Barlow, Philadelphia, beat Miss Isa-
bella Smith, Chicago, 2 up and l to go. The
winners in both cases had surprisingly
close calls at the hands of two young
players hardly heard of until within a year
or two. Mrs. Barlow gained half her lead
through the chance stymie she laid her
rival on the sixteenth hole, while in the
other match Miss Phelps prevailed through
holing a putt of medium length on the
home green.
This afternoon there was a bestball four
some with many entries, but the heat be-
came so oppressive not half the starters
finished. Not a fraction of these returned
cards, the scores being exceptionally high.
The winners were Mrs. c. T. Stout, New
York, and Miss Katherine Harley, Fall
River, past and present title holders at 81,
Miss Grace Semple, st. Louis, and Miss
Mary Adams, Boston, eastern champion.
were second at IS, and Miss Elizabeth

High school Lineup.

Following is the lineup for the high school
foot ball team as it will go to Harlan, Ia,
Saturday to play the high school team
there: Left end, Payne and Howes; left
tackle, Rector; left guard. Hendee; center,
McWhinney and Turkey; right guard. Sum
derland; light tackle, Andrus and Rayley;
right end, Howard and Willard; quarter
back, Klopp; left halfpack, Dove; right
halfback, Mills and Bowman; fullback,
Underhill.
The Harlan team is reported to be fast
and especially heavy this year and will
give the Omaha team a hard fight to wipe
out last years defeat. But with McWhin-
neg back at center and Klopp again on
the quarter In the Omaha lineup, the home
team expects to add another victory to it's
list. Creighton and the high school have
been having light scrimmage practice for
the last couple of days and, considering the
difference in their weights, the high school
bogs made a very good showing.
Thu second high school team will go to
Valley on Saturday to play. There is a
very good second team this year and they
hope to beat the Valley boys.
