COLUMBIA, Mo, Nov. 23.-CSpecial.)-
Twenty-Five Tigers left Columbia yester-
day in charge Of Coaches Roper and nine
assistants, with DR.. Wright, trainer, for
Excelsior Springs, where they will remain
In quiet seclusion until Thursday noon put
ting on the finishing touches for the big
annual game with Kansas university at
Kansas City Thanksgiving day. This trip
is a departure from previous custom, and
is more in keeping with Roper's eastern
ideas, where teams are invariably given a
rest and kept from noise and turmoil until
time for the game to start. A final scrim-
mage was held yesterday, notwithstand-
ing the bad weather, as Roper is yet far
from satisfied with the work Of several
men. and wanted another look at them in
action. No scrimmage will be INDUCED in
at Excelsior Springs, although long walks
and daily signal practice will serve to
keep the men from becoming lazy.
At the request Of Coach Roper no dem
onstration was given to the team as II left.
In fact all year the rooters have hankered
in vain for a chance to have a shirt-tail
parade or something Of the sort. but
Roper's request that no enthusiasm be
shown until really worth the while has
been acceded to.

Kansas Coach Has High Hope of
winning Contest.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Nov. 2S.-(Special.)-
1t looks like Kansas for the championship
Of the Missouri Valley conference for the
second time in two years. BY putting
away the Hawkeyes by a decisive score
the Bugs can not see anything but a clear
field for the Karsans and a repetition Of
their ever victorious stunt of last year.
Missouri is the last stumbling block in the
way of Kansas, and the winner of that
contest will have undisputed right to the
premier hOnOrs in the valley. Neither team.
has suffered defeat this season, though
Missouri played a tie game with Iowa.
Coach Kennedy expects his team to win
pected 1t to take the other contests. The
coach has put out a good line Of dope his
year and the students are willing to take
his word for anything.
When the two claimants for the cham
pionship line up Thanksgiving day in Kan
sas City the Kansas team will be the
heavier by about ten pounds TO the man,
and the Kansas backs are sure to out
class the Tigers. Kansas has been round
ing into great condition in the last two
weeks and the team is fully % per cent
better than in the Nebraska game. It
will be at its very best for Missouri

BENDER HOPES INDIANS WIN
Former Nebrnsknn Has Eye on Coach
ship at Alma Mater.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Nov. 23.-(Special)-
What do / think Of the chances Of my
team against Nebraska? Well, we will give
them the game of their lives, and really
expect my red men to take the contest"
said Coach Bender, eX-Nebraska star, to-
day. o course, comparative scores do
not count for much, but from the line that
we have on the teams / can not see where
the Cornhuskers have my men beat. Can
you? Both teams put up about the same
kind Of game against Denver. and both
teams appear to be very nearly equal. We
have a few trick plays, however, that / ex-
pect the willy Indians to get way with for
the game"
Coach Bender has a great deal at stake
In the game Thursday aside from the mere
victory. He is anxious enough to beat his
old school, but he has more than that to
gain. Johnny Bender hopes TO be head
coach at Nebraska next year. He refuses
TO make a statement to that effect. but It
think he has finished at the grldiron game
until, as n graduate coach, he gives his
alma mater a winning team. If Bender at
tains his ambition in the near future he
knows he must beat Nebraska Thanksgiv-
Ing. The Cornhukers are none too well
satisfied with the record of their team
In the last couple of years. If Bender. with
a lighter and a less experienced team, is
able to defeat them. why not Bender for
coach? That is the line of argument that
Render is following and that is the same
low.
Bender will put a fine team against the
SoThhuSkerS. The Indians are In good con-
dltion' Since the Denver game they have
been taking good care of themselves, and
every man who enters the contest viii be

are not feather-weights. Nebraska viii

secret practice OF the Jayhawkers and of
the indians, say that the Haskell PLAYERS
nave the best and the most unfathomable
pays or the two. That is the way Has
KEN intends to win the contest with Ne
DfaSka, and that is the way that they will
az least Civ the Cornhuskers a run for
their money. And, incidentally. that is the
way Johnny Bender, the one-tlme pride in
me Nebraska camp, may get to be head
many games.

two suowfalls this week covered It with a
good coat, and Manage Eager has been
busy with a fore eof men getting the field
cleaned Off. The ground Is not frozen. but
II IS feared that a cold spell viii, come
either tonight or tomorrow and freeze the
grldircn. After the snow was cleaned away
today a heavy covering Of straw was
placed on the gridiron, and this is expected
to keep the ground from getting too hard.
Just at present. however, Il looks as n
the field is bound TO he heavy and the GO
ing hard. The Cornhuskers outweiRht the
Indians, and this condition Of the field is
likely to allow their heavy line to shove
the lighter opponents down the fled for
many good gains.
Indians Use End Runs.
The Indians depend a great deal upon
end runs and forward passes. These plays
cannot be relied upon for good gains on a
wet field, and Bender's braves are likely
TO be severely handicapped II the field at
Nebraska remains muddy. Bender. how
ever, has prepared for such a condition Of
the gridiron and has devised several plays
in which his line will be the chief factor
In gaining ground. The Haskell, orwards
smashed through the Denver line two
weeks ago, and possibly can do the same
thing TO Nebraska.
The Haskell Indians will reach Lincoln
tomorrow afternoon In charge Of Johnny
Bender, who has sent word that all his
players are in fine shape for the game.
His star kicker, Island, who won the Dem
yer game by sending the ball over the
crossbars for three points from the field,
has been doing some excellent booting for
the last two weeks. and Bender says the
fellow will surprise the Cornhuskers. He
thinks Island can kick field goals from the
thlrty-five and forty-yard lines, and he has
given his players Instructions to try for
field goals when within that distance of the
Nebraska goal.

High School Elevens Will Have
Battle Royal on Gridiron After

The Omaha High school eleven is prac-

Thanksgiving day. Yesterday afternoon
the squad went through signal practice on
the gymnasium floor Of the Young Mems
Christian association.
The high school student body will hold a
mass meeting today to arouse enthusiasm
for the game and to practice various school
yells. Reports from Topeka say that the
two ends and the halfbacks Of that eleven
are the fastest to be found in Kansas, but
Omaha is confident that Howard and
Payne will run away with the Topeka ends
as they have done with every other team
Omaha's back field is probably the llghtest
one to be found on a state high school
team. The average weight is only 1856
pounds. but the combination Of Underhill,
Mills, Howes and Klopp is fast and strong.
Thompson, left guard has outpunted all
Of Omaha's opponents both this year and
last and his long forward passes to Howard
have saved his team at many critical
times. Mawhinney, captain and center Is
playing his fourth year, having made the
team in his freshman year. He is by far
the best center in the state and his tack.

The following is the lineup Omaha will

Game Warden Kills Seven Of Sever
Geese Flying Mt DecOys.

Geese Flying Mt DecOys
Former Game Warden George Carter
made a record kill of geese the other day
on the Platte near Gretna. He left some
companions in a blind while he went to the
club house. When he returned he found
they had deserted the blind to run down a
wounded goose. Carter took bis turn at
the station and soon was rewarded by
seeing seven large geese coming straight
for the decoys. When they liz he fired
and killed two. The other five rose in the
air and, after clrcllng around for some
time, came again at the decoys. Tbs time
Carter was able to kill four more. One
rose, and as he circled above, Carter fired
two shots and finally landed him, making
seven killed out Of the seven which flew
into the decoys. Carter accounts for his
luck to the fact that he probably killed
the two leaders at the first crack and the
others were young birds who did not know
what to do.
