Line Attacks of Iowa
and Are Defeated,
% to 7.

Iowa City, Ia, Nov 23.-Develop-
ing its full power after the first

Lehman, after perfectly executed
forward passes to Captain Reed had
brought the ball within striking dis
lance of the goal. accounted for
most of Iowa's points.
Three times Lehman crossed
Northwestern's line WITH the ball
once in the second period and twice
in the final session, and the two
&C., and touchdowns and a crop
kick by Quarterback Kelly resulted
in the Iowa victory. Reed, Lehman,

Central High Eleven
to Play Last Game Of
Season Here Thursday

A season of continual hard luck
will be concluded Thursday when
Coach Mulligan's latest combination
of moleskin trotters meets the St.
Joseph Central high school eleven
at Rourke park. Since it is with diff
ficulty that the schedule is being
completed, no post-season games
will be attempted.
Old Man Jinx has camped on the
Central high trail all season, caus-
ing the loss of two or more players
before each contest. Coach Multi
gan will send against the Joe town
eleven a team composed almost en-
tirely of new men. Logan, Shafer
and Harper are still in the game;
and, if the aerial route can be used,
may be counted upon to prevent a
crushing defeat.
Although the team from down the
river is somewhat weaker than last
year, it has not tasted defeat this
season, although once held to a 0
to 0 tie.
A big parade will be held
Wednesday night to advertise the
game.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The Univer-

best style and fulfilling the expec-
tations of its adherents, today de-
feated the University of Chicago
30 to 0, on Stage field. The result
taken in connection with the defeat
of Northwestern at Iowa City
strengthened the Illinis claim to
whatever championship honors are
likely to be evolved from the 1918
season.
The local team showed little i'm
provement over its previous ap-
pearances. Shifts in its lineup, due
to injuries of regulars, reduced its
team play to a minimum and some
of the substitutes were so greenb that
they frequently violated rules. This
was especially true of part of the line.

MELADY TO ASK
Law TO GOVERN
BOXING MATCHES
Will Introduce Stringent Bill
to Legislature Next JAM
uary; Has Approval of
Army Athletic Directors.
By A. X. DONOVAN.

irene Melady, NebraSkaS Tore
most promoter of clean athletic con-
tests, will have presented before
the coming session of the legislature
in January a "Melady bill' legaliz-
ing boxing contests. The time is
opportune for the passage of such
a measure and it should receive
unanimous support.
The bill prepared by Mr. Melady
is one of the most stringent over
introduced before any legislative
body in the United Staes. Not only
does it contain the best features of
boxing laws in other states but in
addition has incorporated regula-
tons found advisable by Mr.. Melady
from his experience in promoting
athletic contests and ideas submit
ted by the leading athletic author
tiles in the army training camps.
At the suggestion of DR.. George
J. Fisher, director of athletics of the
Y. M. c. A., the number of rounds
will be limited to six instead of
ten, DR.. Fisher strongly endorses
the bill. In a letter to Mr.. Melady
he says,I believe your rules and
.;ulations are far superior to any
| have seen, and hope you can
enforce them"
In commenting on the regulations
of the bill he strongly approved of
the section prohibiting boxing and
wrestling matches on Sunday. An
other clause RENTS the license fee
in all contests and entertainments
held under the auspices of the A. A.
u, Y. NJ. c. A. and X. of c.
The bill provides that a percent
age of the gross receipts of each
entertainment shall go to fund for
the benefit of crippled and disabled
soldiers of Nebraska who were
wounded in France.
Leading opponents of clean, manly
athletic sports from all section
of the United States have endorsed
the bill. Col. Theodore Roosevelt
approved the measure and COM
mended Mr.. Melady on the thor
oughness in which all features were
covered.
VIM. J. Mulligan of New York
chairman of the Knights of Column
bus committee on war activities,
heartily approved the bill. He stated
that his experience in army camps
showed that boxing and wrestling
was more than a mere amusement.
He expressed the opinion that the
army has demonstrated beyond
doubt that with proper regulations
boxing is one of the best body
builders possible. The necessary
regulations he said were incorporat-
ed in the bill.
At the request of Mart Slattery,
manager of John Pesek, the Shell
ton grappler, Promoter Carl Mar
fist has called off the match between
Pesek and Zbyszko scheduled for
Omaha December 10.
Slattery made the request due
to the illness of Pesek with Spanish
Influenza. The Shelton man has
also recently been advised of the
death of his brother in France.
Probably no class of people is
more superstitious than athletes
Their optimism over the passage of
the Melady boxing bill is possibly
due to the old saying, "The third
time is charm" On two previous
occasions Gene has introduced box
ing bills. The first failed by two
votes. The second at the last min
ute failed by one vote. We trust
that the old saw will be proven
true.

The fight in the second period
was equally stubborn as that which
marked the first. Neither team
gained any appreciable advantage,
and IS yards was the nearest
either got to the others goal line
Towards the close of the final pc
riod, Great Lakes turned what
seemed to be certain defeat into
victory. The Middies were plung-
ing away 10 yards from Great

down seemed imminent when Navy
fumbled and Ellison recovered and

Camp Dodge Soldiers Give
Nebraska University Team
Real Taste of Defeat,
Winning % to 7.

Lincoln. Neb,, Nov 23.-(Spe-
cial Telegram. The Huskers took
their worst whipping of the season
here this afternoon from the beefy
eleven representing the Camp
Dodge soldiers, winding up on the
short end of % to 7 score.
A cold, raw wind held the croYdS
to bare 1000 and made fum5ling
frequent, with the Huskers the
worst offenders. Coughlin, the
speedy right half for the soldiers,
was largely responsible for Camp
Dodge victory. He flashed the
most brilliant performance seen on
the Husker gridiron this season
and scored two of the visitors
touchdowns after long runs.
For the first half of the game the
Huskers had the soldiers completely
at their mercy, although Camp
Dodge drew first blood when Lynch
dropped on a muffed punt which
bad eluded Howarth, and dropped
on the ball back of the Nebraska
goal. Four times the Huskers
drove down the field to within the
shadow of the soldiers goal, but
CHI time with only few yards to
go. The needed punch was lacking
and the Huskers were forced to
surrender the ball.
Cornhuskers Take Lead.
The soldiers did not make
single first down in the first half in
the third. Smiths attempt to punt
behind his own goal was blocked,
and Dana repeated Lynch's pick by
falling on the ball. Howarth put
his team ahead by kicking goal.
The advantage was short, how
ever. At the opening of the fourth
period Movald kicked a beautiful
goal from Placement and raised the
total to S. Then the soldiers in
tercepted a forward pass on their
own 42-yard line and Movald hurled
a forward pass to Coughlin, who
raised so yards to touchdown.
Just before the close of the game
Coughlin demonstrated his per-
Torrance was no fuke by smashing
through the Husker line and run
ming 60 yards for the third and final
touchdown. Movald kicked goal
each time, raising the total to Is.
