South Dakota men was only to 0, so 1t
is up to the local team TO hustle

a team as Marquette or the Kansas Az

the Deaf will meet an eleven composed Of
Creighton students on the Creighton grid

game scheduled in Omaha
High school plays at 81. Joseph.
Champions Of the Missouri Valley is
the title the Omaha High school lads
started out for yesterday afternoon when
the local high school eleven left for ST.
Joseph to play the Central High school Of
that city.
The Central High school claims the
championship Of Missouri and Kansas, and
Omaha High has already won the Ne
braska championship and decisively de-
feated one of the strongest of the Iowa
teams, the Shenandoah eleven. Victory
for Omaha in St. Joseph will be the cham
pionshlp of the valley.
Coach Burnett has been letting the squad
down easily after the hard game OF last
Saturday, but thinks that the team is in
excellent shape to tackle the Missouri
players. The game with Lincoln showed
some Of the weak points in formations
which he has been correcting during the
last week
Bellevue Meets DORne To-day.
This morning the Bellevue team, &C
companied by a band and a large crowd
of purple and gold rooters will leave on a
special train for Crete where the greatest
game of the season will beplayed against
the Doane eleven. In 1909 these two teams
tied for the state championship and the 1910
penant depends upon the outcome Of Satur-
days game. Two weeks ago Doane held
the University OF Nebraska 60; last week II
defeated wesleyan So Bellevue has lost
but one game out of seven played. The
two schools are ancient and bitter foot ball
rivals. and their annual game has been
for years the game OF the season. This
year especially enthusiasm is running high
as the game will not only decide the cham-
pionship, but will clear up to 90 tie of last
year. Bellevue will be outweighed both in
the line and back field, and Coach Mccoy
is somewhat fearful of the outcome. He
has made some changes in the line and has
evolved some new formations that look like
sure ground gamers.
The team is in excellent shape with the
exception Of ]. Ciabaugh, whose shoulder
injured in the Hastings game, is still Civ
ing trouble He has been used sparingly in
serimmage the last week, but will play
So turday. A ,rOusing mass meeting was
held in the chapel last night, and intense
enthusiasm was stirred up among the
students by Tom Moore, an alumnus and
foot ball star, Fletcher, Webb and others
who spoke.
This is Bellevue's last scheduled game
this season Captain Barry, center; Rice
tackle, and Primrose, right end, play their
last game for the purple and gold Saturday
and great things are expected from them
Last Saturday the Peru Normal team, which
Bellevue defeated IA % 0, played to an O-C
tie with the Hastings aggregation. The
outcome Of this game, which was a great
surprise, puts Bellevue back In the cham
pionship running and upsets previous
calculations. All the dope" had pointed
to an easy victory for Hastings.
