Coach Miller Of Creighton university
has been busy during the last few days
working the youngsters in his charge for
the coming game with the ST. Thomas
team in ST. Paul. Mimi. next Saturday.
The northern aggregation feels conf
dent of downing the locals, as they re-
port having the fastest team in years.
Their eleven has been practically the
same for the past two years and the
advantage Of the same team having
played together for two successive sea-
sons will no doubt prove favorable for
their chances next Saturday. They are
rated high, as they frequently practice
with the University Of Minnesota. Re
Gently they outplayed the South Dakota
eleven by score of "a to o.
Omaha supporters OF the blue and
white believe the northern team some
what too confident OF success and are
inclined to think that St Thomas will
experience some difficulty in defeating
Creighton. The hilltop squad is the best
produced by Creighton In recent years,
and their magnificent showing against
South Dakota and Kansas seems to war
rant the conviction that the blue and
white warriors will finish the season
with two hard-fought victories.
Miller has devoted most of his time
to correcting some noticeable defects IN
the playing of the men, and has per-
fected several new plays that should aid
Creighton in ground gaining. st. Thomas
claims to have one Of the best shift
formations in the country, and has used
Il to battle the defense of their OPP
ponents. To meet this play, new
formation will be used By the locals that
is deemed adequate enough to break up
the "spread-eagle'' Of the st Paul men.
All of the players are in first-class
condition for the final games Of the sea-
