Marquette Team
Promises to Show
Fast Foot Ball
Men that Held Down Michigan and
Notre Dame Last Year Pitted
Against Creighton.

with the advent Of Marquette university
on the local grldiron next Saturday fol-
lowers of the game in this city will have
a splendid opportunity OF watching fast
aggregation in action. The meteorio rise
of Marquette in foot ball ciroies during the
last few years has been the subject OF
much favorable comment In the world OF
sports and the outcome Of this seasons
schedule viii be awaited with considerable
interest.
Their work on the gridiron last year
placed them among the representative coll
lege teams Of the country ana by many,
Marquette IL ranked as one OF the best
elevens in the west. with veteran team,
they held Michigan to to score, and
later in the season prevented Notre Dame
from making a touchdown, BY contendinE
so wen against these larger universities,
and especially by their brilliant work
against the wolverines, Marquette rapidly
gained prominence and this year Is making
a western trip with hope Of adding new
laurels to lts fame.
While Marquette has lost the services Of
Foley and Manning the team is practically
the same as last year. Meyer who was
reokoned as enc Of the best punters in the
country, is also out of the game this sea-
son, but Buegel, a new halfbaclS, is filling
the place of the missing star in a creditable
manner. Schaller is back at quarter and
Munsell, Schroeder and Voelkmann make a
back field combination that gains on every
play. Elsen win be seen at tackle again,
and CAPTAIN Hanley is his running mate
on the other side of the line. The northern
team is heavy and fast During the sum-
mer months the squad has been in training
al Lake Beulah, wis. and the men are re-
ported TO be in perfect physical condition.
Perhaps no team in the entire country
presents to the public for criticism ana
careful scrutiny such an excellent body
Of athletes. 1t has always been Mar
ouettes aim to select men Of powerful
physique to defend their colors against
contendlng teams. No expense has been
saved to provide adequate training facil-
ties in every branch OF sports in which
they have participated, and the results OF
developing new material have been graft
Tying. Bill Juneau, the famous old Wis.
oonsn end, has been the mentor on the
gridiron for the last three OF four seasons,
and has produced excellent results in the
field He requires the strictest attention
TO constant training. It was due to his
efforts that the summer football work was
started. Special training quarters were
established on the lake shore IN
Wisconsin, and every comfort OF home
life was enjoyed by the Knights Of thu
Pigslzin, Juneau has always exercised the
utmost diligence in caring for the men
under his charge, and has had ample op-
portunity OF discovering new material on
the squad. He Is firm believer in speed,
and no doubt the game Saturday win be
replets with sweeping end runs. While
line piunging helped the visitors against
Yost's men, yet the majority OF gains were
made by szlrting MiohiEan's line. No
doubt many Of the plays used last season
will be worked against Creighton, and
Miiier's Colts" Will have TO keep close
watch on the shifty formations used by
the Milwaukee eleven. The forward pass
onsids kick. and off tackle plunge Were
used to excellent advantage against the
Monmouth team last week In the annual
game with the Brewers.
For a time IL locked as though the iooa
university would be unable to schedule
a game with MarSuetts as Denver seemed
unwilling TO stand BY its contract to play
/ BY a diplomatic letter. however, naEotia
tions we're finally closed, and the Gam'
was played yesterday. From Denver thu
team gees 10 st. Marys Kan wher'
they play the university there and vii
then come to Omaha for their fret ahnua
battle with Creighton.
