gram.)-In a fast and exciting game re-
plete with successfully executed forward
passes mad clever punting, Morningside
college defeated Creighton university yes
terday by a score of II to 8.
The blue and white strove valiantly
against the Methodist team and when
Jap Tamsuca, with blood streaming
from his nose and mouth. placed beau
tiful drop kick between the goal posts from
the forty-five yard line, the tide of vic
tory seemed in Creighton's favor.
Their hopes were short-lived however as

ter Of the game and by using the forward
pass for twelve plays in succession made
the final touchdown and won the game.
Coach Miller OF Creighton after the game
said;
Il am perfectly satisfied with the man
ner in which the Creighton team played.
They have proven themselves a bunch of
hard fighters under most adverse condl-
tons. The boys have improved wonder
fully since the Dakota game and 1 am
pleased with their work against Morning
side. The forward pass proved our I'M
doing, but otherwise on straight foot ball
we outplayed our opponents"
The contest was a fast battle from be-
many of the unfortunate circumstances
that sometimes arise in the gridiron game,
but fought bravely against odds Kyle,
the fastest man in the Creighton back
field was ruled out in the first quarter
of the game for alleged rough playing
Hibbard and Hopkins we're next to 20 on
account OF injuries, and the game finished
with many substitutes in place OF the reg

Straight Foot Ban Gains.
Creighton made the majority of its
ground gains by straight line playing and
used the forward pass with varied sue
cess. Red" Kyle and Hronek skirted the
ends for gains, and had the SUM- kissed
blonde remained in the scrimmage Il was
generally acknowledged that there would
be material difference in the score. The
speedy halfback tore through a scattered
| field Of tacllers and made two thirty yard
end runs during his rather short appear
ance on the field.
Morningside has a husky bunch of fight
ers and they have the forward pass ad-
mirably perfected. In this particular play

throwing during the last quarter gained

the pass alone was used. The wonderful
work OF Leazer resulted In both touch

Morganthaler. HronelS gained three Yards
and Creighton was forced to kick, and lost
the ball on tumble.
