CREIGHTON AGGRESSION.
Mills men had the Miners. on the
defensive from the first, time and
again charging up to the enemy's goal
post and over the last ditch.
Creighton held mainly to straight
foot ball, with an occasional pass to
exercise Mullholland's arm. In line
plunging and on end runs, the Blue
and White backhelds made gains con-
sistently. The Miners resorted to the
aerial game when they discovered that
they could not penetrate the Creigh-
ton line. but Captain Morgan and his
valiant cohorts discounted the des-
perate efforts of the despairing Miners
to score.
MINERS ARE GAME.
But Coach Parsons crew was in
the game and fought like tigers until
the last second Of play, which was
in the rapidly deepening dusk. The
battle was clean throughout, desper-
ately as it was fought. Pittser, c.
Schneider and H. Schneider were the
heroes of the Miner squad. Pittser
and "Chuck" Schneider shone forth
particularly, and it was Cue to their
efforts that the Miners gave the large
crowd heart failure number OF times
during the game, when either of these
worthless got a good start with the
ball. Pittser did some excellent punt
ing and c. Schneider made good
heayes with the oval, although Creigh-
ton finally solved the deceptive over
head attack and broke it up. Bailey
at quarter, got away for good gains,
while Schneider, captain Of the Colo
rado squad, set his men a fine ex-
ample.
Creighton Stars.
For Creighton the bright stars of
the game were Mullholland, Leahy
and Moonan, while Harmon at quar-
ter, kept his team on the qui vive
all the time and reeled off several
lengthy end runs. The blue and
white line held like stone wall most
OF the time, especially when the
Omaha goal was endangered in any
way. From Hull, at left, to Emery,
on the right wing, each man made
his presence felt.
Leahy oficiated in the kicking de-
partment and his long high boots
aided materially in gaining yards for
Creighton on an exchange of kicks.
The big fullback returned Pittser's
punts for Is, rs and As yards every
time he got his hands on the ball.
But it was on line bucking that
Leahy shone forth in all his glory.
During the first part of the contest
he carried the ball the greater part oil
The time, until he hurt his knee and
received a jolt in the head and a
few other things happened to him
Bnt he was only slowed up triae
and proved it by scoringla touchdown
in the last quarter. intercepting few
forward passes and making large
gains around the ends.
Smsshes Line Hard.
Eddie Mullholland, who went into

Tipping of the oval was up to hi.
usual standard and he contributed on,
touchdown.
Moonan at right half was the sur
prise OF the day. The doughty litti,
back gained consistently at all times
and frequently broke away for Ions
runs after penetrating the heavy Colo
rado line. His startling feat was
20-yard dash for the goal line, aftel
pulling off one of the classiest tricl
plays staged through center this year
By overcoming the Miners so de
cisively Creighton avenged the two
defeats suffered at the hands Of twc
admittedly inferior teams earlier ii
the season. The blue and white ha,

quarters.
