A LONESOME PAIR
Only O'NeiH and Holland at
w. l.. Farce Meeting.
But, Bless Their Souls, They
Stuck Together.

Chicago, I'LL, Nov. 1.-The meeting
of the Western Baseball League club
owners, scheduled for Sunday, did not
take place for lack of a quorum. Jack
Holland, owner of the St. Joseph club,
appeared in President Norris O'NeilPs
office and O'Neill said he held the
proxy of Frank Isbell, of the Des
Moines club, who is in California. 1t
was reported taht one or two others
of the franchise holders in the league
were in the city but they did not re-
port to the head fthe league, it was
said. Regarding the factional trou-
bles of the league, President O'Neill
said:
O'Neill's Statement
Amy time those members of the
league who wish to be rid of me as
president, pay me according to the
terms of my contract, I'll hand them
their presidency. I sent out the call
for today's meeting, in accordance
with the usual annual procedure. I'm
der the constitution, no meeting can
be called by other than the president
on call of five members if it is a spe-
cial meeting. The talk of supplanting
me as president is all talk, for 1 was
given a contract by the club members
for five years and this contract does
not expire until 1915. Not a member
of the league has paid his dues to the
organization for this year, nor have 1
been paid; and I have advanced
money to carry on it's affairs. All I
want is coming to me, and when 1 get
that, I am through. But until 1 do.
! am the president of the Western
league-at least until the end of 1916.
The season has been exceptionally bad
ana every club has lost money"
Holland Chimes In.
Jack Holland, of the st. Joseph
club. said:
The factional fight in the league
mas been augmented by the poorest
season ever experienced. Every club
lost money, the attendance at all
games railing off so per cent and even
more in some instances 1 have no
part nor any sympthay in the faction
al fight. My interest is in a good club
at St Joseph first and then in the
league. But Tip O'Neill is the presi-
dent and the league gave him the
contract which he holds-he did not
draw 1t up and present it to the league.
Ihat contract runs until December 81,
1915. 1t cannot be broken, as it is a
part or the constitution of the league
tia would seem, if we want to be rid
or O'Neill, that the better way would
be to pay him, as he says we can
have our presidency if we will paw
him his money

Nebraska 21; Ames O.

Ames, Ia, Nov. 1.-The Nebraska
Cornhuskers cleared another hurdle
Saturday in the race for the Missouri
Valley conference championship by
trouncing the Ames AggieS, 81 to o..
The bitter opposition expected from
the Aggies failed to rnaterialize. In
truth, it was the easiest victory
achieved in years by the Huskers over
the Iowa Farmers. AS a football
spectacle the combat was more or less
a disappointment to the six thousand
spectators in the stands. The Aggies
showed little or nothing in the line of
virile football, while the Cornhuskers,
after flashing wtlirlwind attack dur
ing the second period, which netted
three touchdOwns, were content to
loaf the remainder of the battle, evil

subsequent games.

team threatened to score during the
quarter, and the period ended with the
ball in Washburn's possession on her
own 25-yard line. The Normals made
four first downs during the period and
Washburn none. The Teachers tried
one forward pass that failed.
In the second quarter Washburn
tried two field goals from the 30-yard
line, but failed on both. Chamber
lain featured the quarter by making
CONSTANT gains for the Ichabods and
Ladner doomed up as the most con-
Sistant ground gamer for the En-
porians- The quarter ended with the
Teachers in possession of the ball on
Washburn's 25-yard line.
Normal Scored on Third.
In the third quarter the Hargissites
played their best football and sue
down. Beals kicked off As yards to
Betting, who returned twenty yards.
Sharp failed to gain and Bearg inter-
cepted forward pass and made a
12-yard gain. Sharp punted, Wash
burn again fumbled and Monypeny
attempted to drop kick goal but failed.
The Normals recovered the ball, and
Ladner got through the left side of
Washburn's line and raced rs yards
for a touchdown Monypeny kicked
goal. Neither team was able to do
anything more during the quarter and
at the whistle the Normals held the
ball on their own 40-yard line.
After the Ichabods had scored in
the fourth quarter, Coach HargisS
sent in a number of fresh men in an
effort to smash through for a de-
Gliding score and Washburn centered
with less than six minutes left to play
and both teams fighting harder than
at any period, neither could make any
progress that was even threatening.

college of Texas Saturday won a hard
fought but decisive victory over the
Haskell Indians by the score of 21 to
Z. Absence of wind and perfect
weather made playing conditions
ideal.
The feature of the game was the
forward passes by Rollins and the
punting by Collins, both of the Aggies.
To Rollins passes is attributed great
est credit for the victory, for had it
not been for these the score might
have been reversed. as Haskell was
stronger at line plunging. Slower, of
Haskell, starred in the attack.

SOONERSTOOCOOD
Kansas Failed to Conquer
Oklahoma Again Saturday.
Third Quarter Was Fatal to the
JayhaWkers.

Norman, Okla, Nov. Again Ben
ME Owens Oklahoma Sooners tri-
umphed over the Kansas Jayhawkers
here Saturday afternoon when they
won the annual clash by the score of
% to IA. Loose tackling and inability
to break up the long forward pass
proved the undoing of the Kansans.
Playing the best football they have
shown this season, Coach Olcott's
pupils outplayed the Sooners at their
own game-forward paSsing-in the
first half, and but for their weird
tacklfng and weak defense in the third
quarter, might have won. With the
opening quarter about even, the Oh
cottites set their few followers among
wild when in the middle of the second
period 20-yard pass, Lindsey to
Reber, netted a touchdown. Strother
kicked the easy goal.
The Score Tied.
Oklahoma, however, came back
with a vengeance and with only two
minutes to play in the quarter sue
touchdown, Geyer kicking the goal.
Geyer's high pass of fifty-two yards to
McCasland, a wonder thrown, sent the
ball to the Crimson and Blue 20-yard
line and Foster and Mccain completed
the good work by carrying the ball
across on line plungeS.
The Sooners continued their coming
back stuff with vengeance in the third
of the second half their forward passes
and end runs put the ball on the K.
U. 10-yard line. Three tries at the
heavy Jayhawker line netted a scant
six yards, and in desperation on the
final down, Geyer swung around left
end for the remaining distance, giving
Bonnie Owens men a lead of 1 8 to z,
which was never endangered.
Lindsey Good Quarter.
For Kansas, Lindsey, playing his
first time at quarter, ran the team in
admirable style, and as forward
passer proved second only to Geyer of
Oklahoma With Wood being sent in
at quarter in the fatal third quarter
in a desperate effort to stop the racing
Sooners, Lindsey moved over to his
old position at right half and proved
the primary cause of the Kansas sec
ond touchdown in the second quarter.

Lester, showed up in great shape

Ottawa and Paramount Tie.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. In a game
made ragged by much fumbling, OF
tawa and Paramount played a to O
tie here Saturday afternoon. Ottawa
was on the defensive all the time, but
Paramount was held time after time
within the 20-yard line. A free FUN
BILE in the third period gave Ottawa a
chance for a touchdown, but the play
er trying to recover the ball kicked it.
He had a clear field and the nearest
pursuer was 10 feet away. Bad judg-
ment on the part of Fairmount's
quarter prevented a touchdown in the
third period.
