Grow Coady. Creighton university star
halfback, will probably never play an
other game of foot ball Coady. while
playing at Wisner Sunday sustained a
broken leg although at the time it was
thought TO be sprained An X-ray taken
in Omaha revealed a break Just above
the ankle. The injury is to his right leg.
He had his left leg broken several years
ago in a basket ball game at the Field
club.
Coady ia remarkable for his III luck in
athletics, where he IL a star base ball
player as we'll as grtdiron hero. He
started the present season with the
Creighton varsity team. but his old injury
rendered him incapable of staying in the
game and Trainer Kelly ordered him to
! quit fuf tho year.
Sundays game at Wisner was between
tho Wisner town team and a team re-
crulted from Creighton students, among
tho number such former varsity men as
! Cy Young. Pitts, Mcclure and Coady.
Pitted against them on the Wisner team

principally because of Franks playing
! The Creighton men were all set for Wall
worth.

the matter will be settled today. Waugh
OF Nebraska will referee and Racely Of
Nebraska act as head llnesman.

Haskell working Hard.
LAWRENCE, Kan. Oct, H-(special'
Tho Haskell coaches are spending 9
great deal OF time on defense this week
In separation for the Creighton game. Sc
far this season the Indians have been de
pending upon their great offense as being
their best ofense. But remembering the
. rushing tactics OF the Omaha team las
year the coaches are taking every oppor
tunity To, improve in this department
For the first time in his four years
work at the big government school Coscl
Kennedy has an assistant in Butch
Cowel n former Kansas and Pittsburgl
university player, and his work with th'
line and on defense IL helping the red
skins.
Haskell has been watching the pres
reports from Omaha and the big score
that the northern school rolled up in tn
early games has had Its effect on tn
coaches " not the players, Platz, thu
star half OF the Creighton team, is tn
one that is most feared.
Clements Ia Injured.
Luther Clements. one OF the star half
backs OF the Indian team, has badly
sprained knee as the result OF scrim
mage with the Kansas university boy
and may not be able 20 play in tn
Creighton game. Haskell has more thar
its share OF cripples this season. Blu
80 far none OF the regulars has been seri
ously injured. Henry Fontenelle, anothe
halsback. had bone broken IN his hand
but Is now able 70 take his place in tn
lineup.
The scrimmage with the universit,
eleven was the first held for sewers
years and probably marks the Resumption
OF athletics between these two natura
rivals The student bOdles OF the two in
stltutions are very friendly and the Kan
sas university undergraduates attend th
Haskell games in numbers and root 10
the pupils OF their old coach. The un
versity has a fine squad TO select tear
from THE year and should make a goo
record In the conference for supremacy.
As usual the JayhAwkerS are pointin
