Creighton, IS; Highland Park, o.
Creighton university ~triumphed over its
old time enemies of Des Moines Saturday
At Vinton street park when 1t defeated
Highland Park team by the score of Is to
O. in a game full Of sensations and strictly
up-to-date.
The game waxed did the
weather-from the very start and all the
new tricks allowed by the changed rules
were given a try-out. At these Creighton
excelled for one reason and that was its
magnificent line. The giant seven were
there on both attack and defense. It the
backs wanted to get away with some ex-
eeptionaliy good play they were assured
a fair field In which to accomplish their
purpose, because the line was sure to de-
liver the goods. II a forward pass was at
tempted the line gave the quarter ample
opportunity to get the ball away and on
nearly every occasion the end was ready to
receive the ball.
on the defensive also, the line did excel
lent work, and scarcely a time during the
hour Of play did Highland Park make it's
distance on straight foot ball. That line
was tearing up things all day. At times,
however, in the first half, Highland Park
managed to hold its own pretty well
against the charging Of the heavier line
and Creighton was able to score but once
during the first half.
Marin a Sensation.
The delayed pass was a great ground
gamer for Creighton and several times
Captain Marin called for the ball, stood
still and when the other twenty-one players
were all mixed up he would start down
the field and several times made substan-
tial gains.
Morganthaler and Lee proved themselves
a pair of tackles hard to beat and the way
they tore holes in that Morningside line
was a caution. Morganthaler played with
his arms bare and was easily marked by
the spectators, but he would have been in
the limelight anyway, as on several occa-
sions he pulled off sensational stunts. Oncs
a forward pass was tried. The signal was
for the ball to go to the end. The end
touched the ball and missed It. Morgan
thaler was following close behind and as
soon as a Highland Park man had touched
the ball he grabbed 1t and made several
more yards. 1t was this splendid gain
that put Creighton within striking distance
OF the goal and gave a chance for the first
touchdown which followed in a short time.
Creighton Wins the Toss.
Creighton won the toss and chose to de-
fend the south goal with small advantage
from wind. After the kickoff and a failure
at the center Murray went around the
right end for twenty yards and on the next
play Murray lost twenty yards by running
back when he attempted a quarterback
run. An interchange Of punts followed
when Highland Park secured the ball near
the center Of the field. Two attempts to

called for, but the ball vent high in the
air and did not cross the line OF scrimmage.
Morganthaler nailed the ball for a sub
stantial gain by reason OF the fluke.
Creighton foozled on a forward pass ana
booted. Highland Park worked two sue
eessful forward passes for fifty yards, Van
Nocker to Warren, The ball was getting
close to Creighton's goal line but the line
held and all was soon safe for Creighton,
who got the ball on downs. A forward
pass, Murray to Marin. made twenty
yards and Creighton kicked.

Creighton lost the ball on downs, but soon
recovered II and then started a march,
which ended in the first touchdown Of the
game. Morganthaler made fifteen yards
through the line and the fluke forward
pass from Murray to Morganthaler netted
twenty yards more. Maglrl made a plunge
into the line for eight yards and on a
delayed pass Marin went around the right
end for a touchdown and Murray kicked
goal, after twenty-four minutes OF play.
There was no further scoring in the first
half.
CreishtOn Receivers the Ball.
Creighton recovered the BAH after ii had
been kicked off at the opening OF the first
half and started again for the goal. but
the Iowans soon stopped the rush. Nor
ganthaler made a rush OF ten yards and
Marin made ten more, but Creighton lost
the ball on al attempt at forward pass.
After a general Interchange OF punts,
both sides tried forward passes and failed.
Murray pulled off one OF the sensational
plays Of the day by returning a punt forty
yards, lodging right and left through the
Highlanders. who were striving to head
him off. He placed the ball on Highland
Parks twenty-yard line and on the next
play Mckinney oircled the end for a touch
down from which Murray kicked goal after
