Kearney Disputes
Wesleyan Claim

KEARNEY, Neb., Nov. 22-(Special.)-
The Kearney Normal foot ball team has
been making an excellent showing this
season, having been unbeaten by any col
lege team in the state. This puts IL very
much in the race for the Nebraska inter
collegiate championship. Wesleyan Is the
only other college team not defeated this
season. Kearney has Peru Normal yet
to play and Wesleyan plays Cotner.
Wesleyan has. been making rather pre-
mature claims on tho coveted rag, accord
ing to Kearney followers. Some com
parative scores will serve to show that
the Normal has the edge on Wesleyan.
Kearney's score against Hastings was Q
to o. besides one touchdown disallowed,
which the officers afterwards conceded.
Wesleyan's score was 12 to .. Kearney 5
score against Grand Island college was
8 TO G; Wesleyans TO o. Kearney' $
score against Cotner was 2S TO 10; Wes-
leyan's II to 0.
Kearney Normal team is ready to meet
the Wesleyan team either here or at Uni
versity Place. and has begun negotiations
for a game this week. Thus far Wes-
leyan has not responded. The Normals
have some exceptional men i'm their lineup
and ought to make the collegiate state
team by an easy margin. They are get
ting down to the hardest work of the
season preparing for the game with Peru
at Peru on Thanksgiving day.

who was defeated in the recent election
by William Wells, his republican oppo-
nent, is going to contest the election
Mr. Cobb has filed his complaint and has
retained Attorney II. Il. Dress for the
case. Mr.. Wells polled a majority of the
votes in three of the precincts and Mr..
Cobb wants these three precincts thrown
out because of the fact that in Candy
precinct the polls were open, he claims,
from the hours of to 6:4O; that no po-
ice officer was stationed at or within
100 feet of the polls; that electloneering
and campaigning was carried on within
100 feet of the polls; that pamphlets, cir
culars and political advertisements were
allowed to be scattered about the polls.
This case will be tried before Judge
Hogeboom December Q.
