Omaha daily bee., 1919-11-09


yesterday at Creighton field and
walked leisurely away with the
longer end of AZ to 0 score.
The result of the contest was a
b surprise to Creighton. as the
Mountaineers were touted as one
of the strongest teams in the Rocky
mountain conference.
The locals were never in better
playing trim. Colorado, on the
other hand, had five of last years
letter men at home crippled. With
the exception of one man, however,
the visitors were represented by the
same team that last Saturday de-
feated the strong Colorado School
Of Mines eleven at Colorado Springs,
2 to 3.
Tigers Were Confident.
The Tigers came here confident
Of victory. Their home papers had
told repeatedly of Parsons inten-
ton to run his second team against
Creighton 'as soon as going got too
swift" :or the Nebraskans in or
der to save the cream of his aggre-
CATION for the annual contest with
Denver next Saturday.
Mills men took the lead as soon
as the opening whistle sounded and
battered down the Mountaineers'
defense for four full quarters, even
after the second team went into the
fray. Ten minutes driving away at
the line and the ball rested seven
yards from Colorado's goal Capt,
Gene Leahy moved it up two yards
closer and Cliff Long swept through
right tackle behind Paulsen and
crossed the line. Leahy kicked the
goal.
Mountaineers Helpless.
From that moment on it was a
slaughter. Colorado tried valiantly
to withstand the rushes of the
Creighton backs, but the Blue and
White eleven was irresistible. Every
method of attack failed the Noun
taineers. Forward passes, for which
they are famed in the west, were
broken up; end runs resulted in
losses; line smashes were piled up
on the line of scrimmage and even
attempts to punt were blocked.
On the other hand, every play
Creighton attempted met with sue
cess in some measure. Cliff Long
wiriggled around the ends with
thrilling success, Leahy, Mullhol--
land, Condor and McAleer plowed
through the mountain boys defenses
like battering rams, and forward
passes advanced the ball time and
again for the Blue and White.
