PLENTY OF GAMES
FOR TURKEY DAY
Creighton Meets South Dakota
and Central High St. Jo-
seph in Omaha.
HUsKERs AND NoTRE DAME

Omaha foot ball fans will not want
for excitement Thanksgiving day.
They will have their choice of three
gridiron clashes that should furnish
thrills for even the most blood
thirsty amusement seeker. Creighton
against South Dakota and Central
High against St. Joseph are the
games scheduled for Omaha, while
Nebraska meets Notre Dame at Lin
coin.
For the first time since the game
became an annual event Creighton
rules favorite over South Dakota,
and Creighton supporters look for
ward to a victory. Creighton has a
strong eleven this year and it has the
fighting spirit, while South Dakota is
shy those Coffeys and that Vidal who
gave the Coyotes the edge.
Last year Creighton surprised the
northerners by fighting them to a
6-to-6 tie and checking the great
Vidal, who is cutting such swath in
the east this fall. And this year the
blue and white crew is stronger than
ever and the lads from the school on
the hill are hoping for victory.
Mills has been drilling his men with
an iron hand the last week, and he
expects to have his eleven in its best
fighting trim, He has been working
overtime on the forward pass, and
that means the Coyotes will run up
against as nifty an aerial attack as
there is in the country, and that means
pretty game for the spectator, no
matter what the outcome.
Central High also rules strong ia
vorite, as St. Joseph is not overly
strong this year, while Omaha is. The
Missourians have been walloped a
couple of times. but they promise to
show reversal of form and give the
Omahans good fight at least
The Nebraska-Notre Dame conflict
promises to attract 1000 Omahans to
Lincoln turkey day. A special train
will run from this city over the Bur
lington, leaving at noon and returning
directly after the game.

South Dakota Will
Put Strong Team
Against Creighton

Vermillion, S. D., Nov. 27.-(Spe-
cial. South Dakota rooters are call
ing aloud for victory. They are
going to Omaha in droves Thanksgiv-
ing day, expecting to see South Da-
kota victory. This attitude Of the
rooters has its effect on the team,
which is resolved to deliver if that is
within the limit Of possibility. Despite
a rather uneventful showing this fall,
South Dakota's squad is a much bet
ter squad than scores would indicate.
Most of the men were without previ-
Gus university foot ball experience
when the season opened last October,
but although an expensive school, ex-
perience is good teacher, The men
are resolved to justify themselves and
acquit the team creditably Thanks
giving day. Creighton may be able to
win, but on the South Dakota campus
it is the current belief of the under
graduates that South Dakota has a
fair chance and that the Coyotes will
use this chance to the full,
The South Dakota line is a husky
one. Clark Elmore, 2l0-pound guard,
is typical of the problem the South
Dakota coaches have wrestled with
this year. Elmore, despite his mex
perience, has been gathering speed all
fall, and should show his best game
against Creighton. Hoy, l75-pound
center, playing next to Elmore, is a
fast, aggressive lineman and in the
Creighton game Hoy and Elmore
ought to be hard to stop.
Harmon, who formerly played with
Creighton university, is halfback on
the Coyote team this year and has
shown rapid development in the last
few weeks.
Despite the list of cripples, South
Dakota will put heavy and effective
team in the field Thanksgiving day,
and if the coaches succeed in co-or-
dinating the Coyote machine, Creigh
ton will have to play sterling foot
ball to win.

LITTLE CHANCE OF
POST-SEASON GAME
Lincoln Authorities Hesitate to
Accept 0maha's Challenge
Before Turkey Day
PREPARE FOR ST. JOSEPH

A post-season series game between
the Omaha and Lincoln High schools
to settle the state foot ball champion
ship is very probable.
c. A. Cairns. manager OF athletics
at Central High, and Coach Harold
Muligan went to Lincoln yesterday
for a conference with Fred Hunter
superintendent OF the Lincoln schools,
Principal Jesse Newton OF Lincoln
High and Coax Herb Reese,
The Lincoln authorities did not ap-
pear particularly enthusiastic over the
proposed fpost-season event. They
said they would consider such game
if Omaha will give Lincoln a. fifty
fifty cut OF the gate and agree to play
the 1917 game in Lincoln The Oma-
ha men were inclined to believe this
demand exorbitant and did not in
crease their original offer of guar
antee of $l50
May Lose to Sioux.
Another matter that prompts Lin
coin to hesitate in accepting Oma-
has challenge is that Lincoln may
not emerge VIGOROUSLY from the con-
flict with Sioux City turkey day. Pill
lard, the star Lincoln tackle, cracked
his collar bone and will be unable to
play against the Sioux, Moore and
Pug Griffin are also in rather bad
shape. Sioux City has a strong
eleven and many believe will win
from the Capital City lads. Omaha
defeated Sioux City last Saturday
In case Sioux City does wallop Lin
coln the Links will absolutely refuse
to meet Omaha, and of course,
Omaha will have kind of claim to-
ward the state championship, even
though it is admitted it will not be
strong one, as Sioux City is not in
Nebraska.
At any rate, the Lincoln authorities
will wait until after Thanksgiving to
give their answer to Omaha's chal-
lenge, but even though Reese's men
win, local gridiron followers are not
expressing any confidence that Lin
coin will agree to play.
ANSWiol vi LiliNOlli
admitted after the conference that
another combat is improbable.
Turn to St. Joseph.
Mulligan is turning his attention
now to ST. Joseph, which he fears may
provost ropger than originally antici-
pated. St Joseph has lost but one
game, that with Kansas City High
school, by 10 to ID score, St. Jo-
seph has scored 226 points to their
opponents 46. Omahas record is 203
points to their opponents %. The
Missourians will outweigh Omaha
and they have fast backheld, which
it is feared will give Mulligan's men
trouble. The St. Joseph lineups and
the weights of the men follow:
McGill, center, 1870; Koch, right
guard, us: Slater right tackle, los;
Graner, left guard, 2l0; Bealls. left
tackle, 100; Light, right end, 1853;
Lange, left end, l45; Symon, quarter
l40; Sellers, left half, l43; Meyers,
right half, 1888; Cash, full back, 100

The opinion OF the United States

1t is estimated that the cost of

There is one player on the Bellevue
college foot ball squad who will
enter the Thanksgiving day game
with Tarkio college at Tarkio with a
good deal of reluctance. Walter L.
Racely, the popular captain of the In.
dian team, will play his last game of
college foot ball Thursday. For four
years "Waddy' has played in the
back field at Bellevue. Through de-
feat and victory he has guarded the
second line of the Bellevue defense
with the same dauntless courage and
spirit.
Racely made the team the first
week he came out for foot ball four
years ago at Bellevue. In twenty
seven games he has missed but one,
although he has lost a few minutes
now and then. This season he has
lost but three minutes altogether and
only one practice.
