CENTRAL HIGH TOO
SPEEDY FOR YORK

Prevent Hostile Scores.
YORK STARTS OUT FAST

Central High school maintained its
long string Of victories by downing
York High yesterday Afternoon by a
score Of rs to 0.
1t was a case of too much Morearty
all through the game. Morearty was
responsible for two touchdowns and
was continually Juggling the ball down
the field for big gains. The York
tacklers seemed unable to cope with
his style of open field running. Smith,
at right half, was only slightly be-
hind "Mory" in ground gaining and
was responsible for the other touch
down.
York started the game with rush.
They kicked off to Iversen who FUN
bled the ball and York man pounced
on it. They carried the ball to the
fifteen-yard line and attempted to
drop kick on the fourth down, but
failed. York kept the ball all through
the first quarter.
Omaha woke up in the second quar-
ret and gained consistently, but was
unable to score until the end of the
period, when Morearty took the ball
from the center of the field around
right end and, evading the entire York
back field, scored the first touch
down.
The second touchdown was made in
the third quarter by Smith. The third
and fourth were put over in the last
quarter, one by Smith and the other
by Morearty. Goal was kicked aftei
only one Of the touchdowns.
Morearty, Smith, Paynter and Pear
son played star games for Omaha

fans by skirting the end for twenty
two-yard run and F. Bunger followed
with another Of twelve yards. Ander-
son made five more and Preston gal
Hoped over for the touchdown which
put the invaders in the lead. Milton
again missed goal. Score: Denver,
IL; Creighton, ].
Denver added its third touchdown
in the third quarter. After several in
effectual plays and several exchanges
of punts on which Denver had the
edge, the Methodists got the ball on
Crcighton's forty-fiye-yard line. Mr..
Anderson promptly staged a thirty
yard run and forward pass from
Mahoney to Anderson netted nine
yards, after which Mr. Anderson beat
1t the rest Of the way to the goal line.
To make it good, Anderson showed
Milton aside and kicked goal himself,
making the count: Denver, 10; Creigh-
ton, 7.
Payne Pulls Trick.
II was Immediately after this touch
down that Payne pulled his offside
stunt which prevented Creighton from
scoring the touchdown which would
have at least tied the game and might
have brought victory II Platz had
kicked the goal.
Mills men seemed to come to life
in the fourth quarter and they played
like demons but 1t was too late The
damage had been done. Long began
to call for forward passes and the
Blue and White crew worked a dozen
of them and managed to make one
touchdown.
After a couple of punts, with the
ball on Denver's forty-yard mark, a
forward pass from Platz to Mulhol-
land netted fifteen yards. Then came
two more in rapid succession for fif-
teen-yard gains and the final pass
from Platz to Flanagan resulted in
the touchdown.
But Denver got together for the
rest Of the period and strive as they
did, Creighton couldn't score again.

FEW ATHLETES HIT

Thirty One Players Have Hit
400 in Big Leagues Since
Their Organization.
FIFTEEN IN ONE SEASON

What do you know about a base
ball season that produced fifteen
FASTENERS with batting average Of
400 or better1 You guessed right.
It happened in the oldcn days Of big
league pastiming, in the days Of
which grandfather likes to tell Of how
they picked the pill.
Thirty years ago the National
league and the American association
held the spotlight in base bali, as do
the National and American leagues
today. II was then---in 1887, to be
exact--that the hardest hitting on
record came to pass. In that year
the American association records
showed eleven players with batting
average OF 400 or better. The players
were: O'Neil, Caruthers and Robin
son Of St. Louis Browning and Mack
OF Louisville; Lyons and Stovey OF
the Athletics; Bedford and Orr OF the
Metropolitans; Burns of Baltimore,
and Burch Of Brooklyn.
The same season the National
league kicked IN with a quartet hitting
in the 40U set, the players being; An
son 81 lineage, ferguson OF Fnila-
deiphia, and brouthers and thompson
OF Detroit.
Only once since that memorable
season OF 1887 has there been more
than Two .4Qo WALLPAPERS IN one year
