CREIGHTON star
RIGHT GUARD IS
OUT OF LIN cup
Frank Kavanaugh on Hospital
List With Blood Poisoning
as Result Of Injury
Two Weeks Ago.

Frank Kavanaugh. Creighton's
right guard, will be out of the line
up Saturday when the Blue and
White clashes with Marquette at
Rourke park.
This information was given to
Coach Mills last night by DR.. E. F..
Shanahan who has been caring for
Kavanaugh in St. Catherine hos
pital.
Kavanaugh injured a toe in the
game with South Dakota two weeks
ago and blood poison set in. Early
this week Kavanaugh's condition
was regarded serious and he was re-
moved TO the hospital. DR.. Shana-
han said yesterday that his condi
ton will certainly keep him out of
the Marquette game and probably
out of the Haskell Indian game
the following Saturday.
The news of Kavanaugh's illness
was a blow to Creighton hopes,
but the appearance of Frank Nc
Vaney at practice this week has
bolstered them up greatly.
Star at Fullback.
McVaney starred at fullback for
Kearney Normal school two years
ago. He enrolled at Creighton Dem
tai college three weeks ago. Mills
has been grooming him for Kava-
naugh's place and McVaney looks
like the man who will lineup at
right guard against the Milwaukee
Hilltoppers.
McVaney is the largest man on
the team. He stands s feet 2 inches
in his stocking feet and weighs 207
pounds. Despite the fact that he has
been out for practice little more
than a week he says he is in good
condition.
Mickey Harmon, Johnnie Dris-
coll and Cy Lynch are on the sick
list. Harmon, backfield man and
end, sprained his ankle Tuesday aft
ernoon. Last night he was scarcely
able to walk. 1t is doubtful whether
Harmon will be able to play Satur-
day. Driscoll Clipped bone in his
left arm in the South Dakota game.
Driscoll pulled himself into foot
ball suit last night with his arm still
in cast and ran about the field
with the team during practice DR..
MacMahon said Driscoll would hard
ly be able to appear Saturday, al
though the fighting little 1tishman
insists that his arm never selt bet
ter" Lynch. too, appeared for prac-
tice last night, his first appearance
since he was injured in the South
Dakota game.
Developing Forward Pass.
With tips from Milwaukee that
the visitors were developing forward
pass plays Of every description, Mills
drilled his team last night in the art
of defense against passing.
Dispatches from Milwaukee tell
ing of Babe" Wright's proves at
center are branded by Creighton as
bear DOPE" Harold Wise, fbrmer-
" student at Marquette. now a
medic at Creighton, says Douglass
is the man Coach Ryan will proba-
bly, use against Creighton. Wise
keeps close correspondence with
several students at the beer town in
stitution.
Douglass is Demon" said Wise.
"He was out of the Lawrence game
last Saturday because he was suffer-
ing from an attack of boils. That's
how Wright got to play, I think.
This Wright NAV be as sensational
as the Marquette bunch claims he is,
but | doubt it. 1t seems that the
Marquette team is all Milwaukee
talks about. The papers up there
claim that Marquette has one of the
best teams in the northwest. The
dope up there seems to be that
they'll beat Creighton by a comfort
able margain, but that, too, seri-
ously doubt"
