Omaha SCHOOL
TEAMS BOOK OUT
.0F-T0WN CANT S
Commerce High Only One to
Remain at Home This
Week-Creighton High
at Missouri Valley.

Every Omaha foot ball team
with the exception of Commerce
High, which has no game scheduled
for this week, will get into action
the latter part of the week, away
from home.
Creighton High will meet Mis-
souri, Valley, Friday, while on the
same afternoon, at Lincoln the
South Omaha High foot ball eleven
will tangle with the Lincoln High
foot ball squad. Central Highs
Purple and White squad will play
the strong eleven that represents
North Des Moines High at that
city Saturday afternoon.
The Creighton Missouri Valley
combat will be the third of the sea-
son for both teams. The Blue and
White squad, with a recent victory
over Commerce High, have been put
through gruelling practices daily by
Coach Anderson.
Said to Be Crippled.
Missouri Valley is said to be bad
ly crippled by injuries which will
give the local lads better showing
against the Iowans. Although they
are reported to have some men or
the sick list, Coach Anderson of the
B lue and White squad will not fal
for any "bear dope" which all the
strong eleven coaches have beer
spreading of late.
The South Omaha Lincoln game
is one that will be watched by al
the coaches of the state, as the loca
squad is noted for having a veal
team this year, and if they admins
ter defeat to the Lincoln squad
they will be in line for the state
championship. The Lincoln squac
is also endeavoring to capture the
state honors.
Coach Patton's Packers team is
gradually getting into the limelight
as last Friday they tied University
Place of Lincoln by the score of {
to E. The team will go through some
secret signal drill and scrimmaging
with the second squad before they
go on their journey.
Central at Des MONIES.
The Central-Des MONIES game
will create considerable interest
among foot ball followers of botf
Nebraska and Iowa as neither team
has been defeated this year.
North High, with heavy, expe
rienccd team. is picked to win by
the Iowa foot ball followers, while
the Nebraska fans believe thai
Coach Mulligan's warriors will
bring home the bacon.
The Omaha lads always rank
high among the schools of Nebraska
and Iowa on the foot bali field and
should have the team at Des Moines
that will he able to trim the Iowans
Mulligan believes his warriors viii
do it.
| Enthusiasm and pep is growing
daily at the school With the slogan
Lets trim the Iowans," it appear:
that the Omaha team will have ar
abundance of followers at Des
Moines Saturday afternoon. The
students If the North Des Moines
, High are confident that their team
,, will beat the visitors and make them
return home crying.

"Joe" Comes and Nine Youths
Spend Niqht in City Jail

Two or three dozen young men
and boys were crowded around a
pool hall Of Elias Genho, 2202 South
Twentieth street. Something on the
table seemed to command the undi-
vided attention of all
Come on, joe yelled an ex.
cited voice from the inner circle of
men and noys. Come on, Joep the
voice repeated
Joe responded. Joe, whose other
name is Potach,~ exercised his au-
thority as a minion of the law and
with Officers Cich, Sanardick and
Caldwell and Sergeant Samuelson
arrested nine OF the men and boys
and Elias Genho, the proprietor. A
rear door was damaged when the
others escaped. Gerho was charged

Omaha daily bee., 1919-10-20
follows:

the Murphys crack second sacker,
drove triple to left field.
When the game was called in the
fourth round on account of dark
ness and rain. the Murphys had two
scores to their credit and the Pack
ers none. In the second round of
the second game, Dyke began to
weaken, and walked Harry Williams,
the first man up; Snyek then beat
out bunt, and on Vandiver's walk
the bags were loaded. Halter flew
to Hale, and MCGUIRE whitfield, but
Manager LAWYER came across with a
smashing double, scoring both Will
liams and Synek.
A double header may be staged
next Sunday to decide the champion
ship, and, if weather conditions are
favorable, one of the largest crowds
that ever attended base ball game
in the city is expected. Manager
Lawler of the Murphys termed it a
dirty trick to prevent the Murphys
winning the city title" to call the
game when they were two runs to
the good in the second fray. Law
Ter says he will claim the city cham
pionship on the grounds of default
by the Armours.
Murphys Claim Forfeit.
According to the rules of base
ball, the umpire should call a halt
of half an hour when rain interferes
with the progress OF a game. Um-
pire Smith did not do this, but called
the game off when the Armour
manager and players protested
against playing in the rain. If the
rain prevented the continuation of
the game after the half hour has
passed, then it would be perfectly
all right to call the game off. Law
Ter claims Smith violated the rules
of the game in this respect, and he
claims forfeit game for his team.
Another feature of Dykes pitch
ing, which should not be overlooked,
is the fact that he nearly tied "Hod"
Eller's record for consecutive strike
outs. In the sixth round he whitfield
all three batters and in the seventh
the first two men famed. Had
Echtemier not caught Clair's foul,
chances are that the first baseman
would also have whitfield, for the
western champs could not connect
with Dykes emery ball.
Pete Mcclure, who was Oh the
mound for the Murphys in the sec
ond fray, pitched a great game, al
lowing but two bingles and whitfield
six.

Coach Mulligan of Central High
and his foot ball warriors will take
the second trip of the gridiron sea-
son this week when they will
journey to Des Moines and tangle
with the North High school in that
city.
According to the reports that the
Iowans issue, they will have heavy
and experienced squad and should
beat the Purple and White squad by
large margin. They will out
weigh the Omaha lads several
pounds to the man.
The Central goal line has not
been touched yet this year, and
when they meet the Iowa lads they
will have to show some pep and

FOOT BALL BILL
Nebraska to Play Oklahoma
in Final and Creighton
to Meet Marquette
University.

ate followers of the gridiron
will be in their glory next Saturday
when they witness the doubleheader
which will be staged at Rourke park.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will
clash with the great Oklahoma
eleven, while the Creighton Blue and
Waite squad will tangle with Mar
quette at ! O'Clock.
This will be the first time in years
that state foot bali followers will
see foot ball doubleheader as one
game was usually regarded as suffi-
Gent Preliminary games have been
played, but not between such teams
as will be present at Rourke park
next Saturday afternoon.
One of the big features of the
doubleheader is the fact that it will
be the first time in several years
that Omaha foot ball followers have
seen the Cornhuskers in action on
Omaha soil. Usually the Omaha fans
had to journey to Lincoln to. see the
Nebraska team in action.
Pleaded for Omaha Game.
The Omaha alumni of the State
university and others interested in
the Cornhuskers' gridiron team have
pleaded for Nebraska game in
Omaha, but the ruling of the Mis-
souri, Valley conference, with which
Nebraska was affiliated, prevented
the Nebraska eleven playing in
Omaha. Nebraska withdrew from
the conference and scheduled a
game with Oklahoma, to be played
here.
Reports coming from the Okla
homa camp are to the effect that the
college has strong and fast eleven
and will surely run away from the
Nebraska lads. Coach Benny Owens
OF the Oklahoma squad, is training
his men to put over some tricky
plays when they meet Nebraska. He
is noted for his originality on for
ward passes.
Coach Schultz of Nebraska will
also attempt to pull off some new
plays and a hard fought battle is ex-
pected when they meet.
Another Hard Game.
The Creighton Marquette game
will be another hard game, as these
teams have been intense rivals for
years and are out to capture their
opponents scalp.
The defeat which the Blue and
White squad administered to South
Dakota last week goes to prove that
the Creighton coach has team that
will show up we'll this year.
The Creighton doctor told Mills
Friday that Lynch and Driscoe will
probably be out of the Marquette
game, as the injuries they received
in the South Dakota contest do not
seem to heal. The coach believes
that the injuries will heal before the
Marquette game at will be hard
blow to me if lose these two men"
said Mills to the doctor. The men
will probably be used in next weeks
game, as they told the doctor that
they are not afraid of any more
injuries.
Men are at work at Rourke park
building additional stands, as one OF
the biggest crowds that ever
thronged into Rourke park is ex-
pected to witness this affair. 1t can
be remembered by fans when
Creighton field, one of the biggest
crowds in the history of the gridiron
in Omaha attended the game. The
committee is preparing to handle a
crowd which they estimate will be
around 5000

LINCOLN WRITER
Makes EXCUSES
FOR uni SQUAD
Declares Nebraska Team is in
No Wise FaiIure-Record
This Far is One of
Achievement.

Just to offset "opinions' pro and
con, c. cerning why Nebraska uni
versity is getting a bad start this
fall or account of its two defeats
thus far this season--dope that is
going the rounds of rooters-this
article is written.
In Justice to Coach Schultz, the
new Husker mentor. who. in part,
was the object of the clamor, the
facts sncu<d be stated. In no wise is
The Nebraska team a failure. Con-
trary. IT'S record of two defeats by
Iowa and Notre Dame and tie
with Minnesota, is one of achieve
ment.
Luck Against Them.
The Hrskers fought hard in all
three games. In each luck was large
iy against them, playing an import
ant part in the final scores. In no
single instance in the entire country
has rean met as gamely and con-
tested as evenly, with three such
formidable opponents at the sea-
sons opening. Saturdays game was
toss up.
That Coach Schultz, minus a
quarterback, intended to play a
strategic game, directed from the
sidelines against Notre Dame, was
evident. The Nebraska mentor
started his team with Hubka, tackle;
Schcllenberg, halfback. and Ho-
warth, quarterback, in reserve. At
the opportune moment he intended
to use them.
Catholics There First.
But Rockne beat him to it. The
Notre Dame team, with Bergman
carrying the ball, staged their thrill
ing o7-yard run for touchdown
when less than 50 second of play
had been accounted for. Captain
Bahan kicked goal with unerring
accuracy. Most certainly this was
lead to be feared. Yet the Huskers
never ceased fighting.
Notre Dame sprung forward
passes. Heretofore during the sea-
son the Hoosiers had not used a
single pass. Their game, with one
of the fastest backfelds in the coun-
try, was line smashing, end run af-
fair. This was the gist of reports
from South Bend in the Husker
camp. So the Nebraska coach pre-
pared for the unexpected accord
lngly.
Hubka at Fullback.
Hubka went in at fullback. The
big Bohemian asserted his tremend-
Gus smashing offensive power in
no slight terms. The line, with Ly-
man, Monte Mum and Wilder as
its mainstays, held admirably. Schel,
lenberg, according to the dope, was
slated to make gains. Here the
Hoosier backfield again came into
play.
In nearly every instance wher
the Huskers had the ball, the flee
| Notre Dame backs, Bergman, Gipf
and Bahan, scoring past rules Of
the game, completely ignored the
Husker line and skirting the ends
| wide, drove in on the Husker backs
as they moved forward on the of.
fensive Thus the Nebraska machine
crumbled.
Huskers Supreme on Line.
On line smashes the Huskers were
supreme. Their battering ram at
tack was good for wide and varied
gains. But skirting ends and run
ming from punt formation caused
their defeat. The Notre Dame back
field was just a little too fast for
them. That's how the 5000 yelling
rooters missed the Nebraska backs
in action.
From now on, with the heavy
weigh. portion of their lopsided
schedule dealt with. Schulte's men
