Visitors Praise Playing
of Creiqht0n Warriors

Capt. Gene Leahy and Right
Guard Mike Healy of the Creighton
university foot bali squad, which
held Marquette university to a
scoreless tie at Rourke park Satur-
day, won high esteem in the eyes
of their opponents.
Cliff Bodine, the Milwaukee right
guard, said following Saturdays
game: Il couldn't tell at first who
was making those steady gains
through our line, but I knew it was
the same man all the time from the
way he hit. | found out after the
first quarter that it was Leahy, the
fullback. ! believe I have never
played against a more terrific line
plunger than Leahy."
Four of Marquette players on
their way from the game to their
hotel were discussing the showing
OF both teams. All paid tribute to
Mike Healy's ability. Healy on two
occasions broke through the Mar
quette defense, made the runner
tumble the ball and then recovered
1t. Healy is S feet inches tall
and weighs but 1853 pounds, yet his
defensive game at guard against a
l87-pound opponent was remarkable
all during the game.

showing of the Hilltoppers against
the Badger eleven said:
Wisconsin Game.
Marquette outplayed Wisconsin
in every department. A deluge of
horseshoes in the Wisconsin camp
brought them victory in spite of the
superiority of their opponents. Chi

Saturday the Badgers trimmed

the Wisconsin team were tartars for
the Illinois line. Illinois brought the
hall to the Wisconsin one-yard line
at the opening of the third quarter,
and with four down to make the one
yard, they were repulsed by Wiscon-
sin without scoring.
Saturday, also, Creighton and
Marquette battled at Rourke park to
a 0 and 0 tie. After the game,
Taugher and Chieoine, Marquette
back field men, said they found the
Creighton line impenetrable, while
they had little difficulty gaining
persistently through the Wisconsin
line.

LOSE l3-TO-0 GAME
TO NONPAREILS
Amateur Foot Ball Season
Opened at Rourke Park
Yesterday.

Despite the fact that Bulldog
Pearson and Harry Williams, con
sidered stars of the Nonpareil foot
ball eleven, were out of the game,
due to injuries, the Nonpareils were
victorious in the opening contest OF
the season yesterday at Rourke
park, when they defeated the FoBte-
nelles, IS to O.,
Pearson was unable to participate
Oh account of a broken hand, while
Williams has been suffering for the
past two weeks with a boil. This
was the first time in the past three
years that these stars were forced
TO remain out OF the opening game
of the season.
The contest was hard fought from
whistle to whistle, and was one of
the most sensational contests staged
by these two teams in years. Both
elevens were in the pink of condi-
ton, and the crowd, although small.
due to the cold weather, were well
entertained.
Kesner and Flanagan each scored
a touchdown for the Nonpareils,
Kesner running 40 yards in the third
period, while Marty Flanagan ran
about the same distance for the Sec
end touchdown. Morten kicked goal
in the third period, but missed in
the fourth. "..
Neither team was able to score
in the first half. The playing OF
Kesner and Flanagan easily featured

TICKETS PLACED
ON SALE FOR BIG
BLUFFS SHOW
Advertising Put Out on Satur-
day and Seat Sale Opens
in Council Bluffs and
Omaha Today.

Promoter Al Fiori of Council
Bluffs has distributed a mass OF
printed matter advertising his grea.
athletic carnival in the Bluffs Audi
forum for Saturday night, Novem-
Der /. He expects to place the
tickets on sale in Omaha and Coun-
Gil Bluffs this afternoon. A number
of advance reservations will be filled
before the seat sale is generally
opened, but there will be plenty Of
good seats left for the local sport
lovers at popular prices, 81, 81
and So.
The show itself will probably be
the greatest one of its kind ever att
tempted in Iowa. Four of the lead
ing wrestlers of the country, two OF
them in the heavyweight division
and the other pair leading contend
ers for the middleweight Champion
ship, are billed. A four-round box
ing bout between Billy Uvick and
Harry Williams is also carded. This
boxing bout is judged bl followers
of the game in Council Bluffs to be
the opening wedge i'll a campaign to
put boxing on the athletic map in
the Bluffs.
Promoter Fiori has a rather
unique plan of handling the contests
Saturday night. A referee selected
from each Of the Omaha news
papers will handle one bout. Ivan
Gaddis of the News will officiate in
the boxing contest, Kid Graves of
The Bee will be the third man in
the Peters-Hansen mat event and
Girard Griswold of the World-Her-
aid, son of Sandy" will referee the
Ray-Mortenson match. In this man
ner each contest will have a differ
ent official and the likelihood of the
official being influenced by the
crowd is less than would be the
case if one man handled all three
events.
The tickets will be placed on sale
at Ernie Holmes billiard parlors
and the Merchants hotel, in Omaha,
and in convenient places in the
Bluffs. Fiori is making preparations
to handle record crowd, as the
boxing match will probably attract
a great crowd.

THE POSTAL CLERK

n FTER an honorable service of %
Inl years with the postoffice department.
a clerk the other day was arrested for
using cancelled stamps. Poverty was
at the bottom of his misdeed and pow
erty is no excuse for crime, but the in
cident forcefully brings to the atten-
ton of the public the importance of
the claims made by postoffice clerks
that they are underpaid In the present
days of high cost Of living. This par
ticular clerk picked UP cancelled
stamps from the floor, run an I'M
stamped envelope through the cancel
ling machine and then fit the cancella-
ton marks on the stamp to those on
the envelope. The process netted him
about 81 per day.
The case is interesting In connec-
ton with Postmaster Burleson's plan
to reduce the rate of local first-class
passage to 1 cent an ounce. Would
It not be better to keep the rates at
their present leVel ana use the uiI-
ference in improving the distressing
condition of postoffice employees, who,
after 22 years of service are being paid
fonly $500 a year? The 2-cent rate
for local postage has imposed no hard
ship. Extremely low postal wages do
impose hardships.
Burleson in recommending the reduc-
ton stated that he believed the post
office department should not be run
for profit. II postal employees were
paid wages proportionate to those pre-.
vailing in other industries and II the

was reached by which a solid block OF
