Nebraska Beats Dakota; Creighton Beats NEBRASKA GETS REVENGE Smothers South Dakota in Return for Lait Year! Humiliation. VISITORS ONLY ONCE DANGEROUS 'Tornhaakers Rnort im.Xo Trick, bat Stick Straight Foot Ball Captain Weller' ranting Featar. From A Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 8. cored rich revenge for last year'a humiliation, pilling up a score of 39 to 0 against the sturdy South Dakotans onthe Nebraska field this afternoon.

Without resorting to a single trick play, and sticking closely to straight old-time fcot ball. the.Cornhuskers were easily able to take the measure of a better team than held them to a aocre of 4 to 0 in lis HI. The visitors put up a plucky fight, however, and the game resulted far differently fr6m what the footers expected from the work of the first ten minutes Of play. Though overwhelmingly defeated, the northerners drew the very evident approval of one of tl largest crowds that ver watched an early season game on Nebraska field. They left at o'clock this evening in god condition and the consolation of having done their beat.

The result of the game bore out the estimate of the northerners Whltte-more. after he saw the Cornhuskcrs in action against Peru last Saturday, Nebraska played hard foot ball every minute of the game. In the last half the Dnkotuns sent a series of cold shivers up the spines of the rootrr by forcing the ball by straight line bucks from their own twenty-yard Una to the Nebraska twenty-five yard line. Her they resorted to a forward pass which was promptly nabbed by Cooke. Ootherwlse they might have escaped a shut-out, for the Comhuakers were near a panic, though fighting back desperately.

But once In possession of the ball Nebraska recovered Its nerve and managed to score two Nebraska's star was again Captain Welter, whose splendid punting gave the Corn-huskers two of their touchdowns. The husky captain also kicked a pretty goal from tho field In the second half, and was nlways able to make good gains either by lugging the ball through the opposing line, or by breaking around the ends or through the tackles. Hare and Simpson 1 did brilliant work for the visitors, especially during their spurt In the second half, being responsible for the greater part of the distance gained by the northerners. Nebraska's entire back field did good work, while ueitzer ana jonnson on me enas showed evidence of the atte ntloVi that' has been devoted to their positions by- Coach Colo. First Score a Flake.

Nebraska's first score, was in the nature of a fluke. After forcing the ball by steady plunging down to the flve-yard braska at length surrendered It on downs. A forward paae gave Brown a thirty-yard gain, but the play was not, allowed, the hall being brought back. A punt gave the Dlvskln to Nebraska. The ball changed possession a couple of times; Dakota's yinta gaining about twenty yards.

Wellar finally punted from the center of the field to the visitors' goal line. The punt was fumbled. Matters Jumped high In the air and knocked the ball over the line, where Harvey fell on It, scoring Nebraska's first touchdown. Welter failed to kick goal. Score: Nebraska, South Dakota, 0.

Kroger made tr- second touchdown, straight line bucking, aided by Weller's punts, carrying the ball well down Into the visitor's territory and giving Kroger the opportunity to carry It across with a center buck. Weller kicked goal. Score: Nebraska. 11; South Dakota. 0.

Latin kicked off to Matters on the thlrty-flve-yard line. Matters lugged the ball ten yards. Nebraska made distance once, but a penalty forced a punt. The Dakotans resorted to another forward pass, which Burnett caught and ran with It thirty yarda before being downed. A fumble lost ground for Nebraska, and Weller madrt a short punt to Simpson, who did some clever work fighting his way back with the ball.

Dakota could not gain consistently and Latin finally punted to the center of the field. Nebraska worked the ball back twenty yards, when Kroger broke straight through the line for a touchdown. Weller kicked goal. Score: Nebraska, IT; South Dakota, 0. Weller's Long; Pan.

Latin Licked off to Minor, who returned the ball twenty-five yards to Nebraska's forty-five-yard line. Minor carried the ball I ten yards In two downs, but a fifteen-yard penalty forced Weller to punt. The kick was the' sensation of the game, the ball silling full seventy-five yards well over the head of Coffey. The latter reached the ball after a long run, but fumbled It, and Collins fell on It for Nebraska's last tourhdown of the first half. Weller kicked goal.

The first score of the second half was a goal from the field by Weller. Nebraska worked the ball steadily down to the visitors' twenty-flve-yard line, where Dakota braced and Nebraska oould not gain In two downs. Weller dropped back and executed a pretty drop kick, tke ball going squarely between the p.ist. Score: Nebraska, South Dakota. 0.

South Dakota's spurt followed Weller's feat, the visitors taking the ball on a bunt by Weller following tho kick off. From the i tweritj'-'yard line they carted It back by speedy gains, Simpson. Hare and Oliver attacking Nebraska's center, guards and tackles fiercely for rood gains. Cooke finally secured the bal! on a forward pass on Nebraska's twenty-five yard line, over for the fifth touchdown. Kroger making It.

Weller kicked goal. Score: Nebraska, 33; South Dakota, The final touchdown was scored by Minor, who broke away for a thirty-yard rha across the visiters' goal. 8core: Nebraska, 39; South Dakota, The score was the last of the gam.

Lusty Bunch of Young Congregationalists Who Will Uphold Doane's Colors on 4- A 'if- BADGEHS FILL GAPS 5-f LINEUP Practice Work Develop Strous; Men for Several I'oxftlons. MADISON, Oct. B. (Special.) Two weeks of practice hnve now passed by, so that those who have watched the work each night can make some estimate as to the probable lineup that will be used by the Badgers In the games this fall. At center, Steihm, who was given a position on the all-western team by somee of the critics at the conclusion of last season, appears to have a hrild on the position, although he was not In his old position Thursday night.

It was the day of the rush and Coath Hutching issued the order that any man who remained away from the practice would not be put in the lineup again. Stiem did not get out to the foot ball field until late In the nftprnoon and the coach madee his word good by transferring lak-lsch, the big freshman crew man who has been working at guard. In his position. Iaklsch Is heavy and fast and may "give Stiehm a hard tussle( for the place, although it is generally conceded that Stiehm will play there this fall. At guards the coaches have been trying out three Huntley, who was In that place last' yeAr; Davidson, who played on the University of Indiana two years ago, and Iaklsch.

Jt seems to bee about a tossup between the men up to now as all the work done has been running through signals. Murphy, captain of the freshmen crew, is making a gallant fight for tackle and he should land It without the least doubt. Dltt-man, an old man, -la out for the other tackle position and should be given a place, although Boyle Is giving him a hard fight. One change has been made during the week and that is' the shifting of John Mess-mer, 'who was elected captain to succeed Charles Miller, who was barred on account of his studies, to right The big fellow is speedy, beating the other men down th? field on kicks with great regularity. At the other end of the.

line, Rogers, last year's end, Js holding down his old place. A better aspect oas been given the quarterback position during the lust week by the appearance of 'hree more men for a try at It. Srrlbner, the fast little basket ball captain, has reported and has been showing good form and- speed. Rogers of Milwaukee is also out for the position, ns Is Bartlert.of the same city. Fuslc, who has been played at the position for neaTly two weeks, is rapidly becoming accustomed to the work and shows slgrfB of developing Into a good man.

The coaches have been using Wiloe, who was tried at end for a few days, at right half and he may be kept there If he can keep up the pace? he has set. Ostoff has the fullback position clinched, while Schwalm and Culver are fighting it aut for the vacant half. Some disappointment was expressed last night when It became known that Arne Lerum and Earl Driver, both former varsity stars, who were depended upon for a portion of the coaching, would not assist Coach liutchlns has been trying a new play this week. It la culled the "pin wheel revolution," with one of the halves or the quarter cairylng the ball. Another Is what Is known as a mass twist, in which the quarter bluffs at.

By superior all-around Work Cielghtoin overwhelmed the strong team from Tatklo Saturday afternoon at Vinton street park by the score of 31 to 0.

The game was marked by. a few brilliant dashes on the part of the Creighton eleven and hy dogged perseverance against heavy odJs on the part of the boys from Missouri. The game was a most auspicious opening of the foot ball season in and a crowd of abotft 2,000 rooters was out to See the blue and white down the proud colors of the Missouri eleven. Creighton management made a most popular move when it decided to Issue complimentary tickets to sll the students of the Omaha Hlgri school. The Invitation was accepted by a large number, and especially by the high school girls, who turned out In largo numbers, with the help of the regular rooters at the Creighton team, filled the west bleachers, part nf the grand stand; utmed solid liuealonif the east side of the field and filled numerous carriages and automobiles which were allowed on, the east side of the Peld.

It was evident from the first that the Tarkio team Iwas outclassed, an Immediately after the first klckoff the Creighton boys rushed the ball to the noith goal for the first touchdown In two minutes after play was called. The goal was missed. The ball then swayed back and forth In the middle of the field and went for a touchdown, which many thought was a safety, but the referee decreed otherwise, and the ball was brought out to the twenty-five-yard line, where it was kicked and cleverly blocked 'by McKenna, Tarkio recovering the ball.

At this stage Tarkio showed its best formvfor by the guards' back formations the ball wag rushed right" through the heavier Creighton lino tor about sixty yards to. the fifteen-yard line, wdiere Tarkio was forced to give up the ball and Brome. booted It down the field, where Donovan nailed it and scooted for a touchdown. Tarkio was not ablo to gain Its distance any more during the afternoon and It was only a matter of how many touchdowns Creighton could make In the allotted time. Brome Too Fast for Other.

Captain Brome of the Creighton team handled his men in fine 'fashion, tho only criticism being that he was a little too fast for the rest of them and often had the play away before they were ready, but that is a fait Incident to Jhe early season and will easily be corrected by Coach Bell, who seems to have all th players working hard. Bowman, left halfback of the Takwle team, seemed to be the star on that team and he was all but put out of the game near the end of the first half by a head-on Collision with the players' bench. In front of the grandstand. He was able, however, to resume the game In the second half. Weaver passed the ball In poor form for kicks and It was the usual occurrence for th fullback to have to pick, the ball from the ground on th pass.

This cost one touchdown at least and-probably several more. The scors: CR'ilUHTON. L.O...I. R.O LT R.T. ur.

COBB MAKES A HOME RUN I'm pi re Evan Make III First Appenranee Since HI Iajnrr Several Week A Philadelphia Take Pair. ST. LOUI3, Oct. Detroit team won the American league pennant by beating St. Louis in a one-sided game, 10 to 2.

Up to the fourth Inning Towell held Detroit safely, no one reaching second base, but in the fourth Cobb's triple started a batting bee that sent Jones across the plate In that and so worked upon Powell that two bases on balls, two triples and a double were marked up for Detroit In the fifth, netting five runs. After the disastrous fifth the result of the game was never In doubt. In the seventh and ninth innings, respectively, St. Louis made a run, but by tho close of the game Detroit had added four more talllo to Its sc6re. three of them coming In the final inning.

It was expected that a crisp autumn day, the presence here of, the leaders In the league race and the fact that there was a fighting chance that the St. louls team would oV'prlve It of the pennant would draw a record-breaking crowd, but It was remarked that the ground rules were unnecessary. Two more games are scheduled for tomorrow. One of tho features of today's game was the appearance of Umpire Billy Evans, who was severely injured by a thrown soda water bottle during tho last Detroit series several weeks ago. Evans made his appearance In company with Umpire Sheridan and was warmly greeted by the Detroit players, who showed strong disapproval when the bottle was thrown.

ANN ARBOR, Oct. The find which has done th most so far during the present foot ball season to brighten Coach Yost's smile was th dis covery of Lehr, a sophomore, who will probably bo Captain Magoffin's running mate at halfback. Lehr, who halls from Escanaba, th town which produced Jack Loell and Embs, gav some promts of, his ability last year, when he played in the, back field for on of the freshman teams. At the opening of the season waa thought to ba good material for th reserve eleven, but at the first practice game between th 'varsity and the Reserves he sprang Into prominenc. Weighing about 168 pounds, every ounce of which Is fighting strength, It seems almost Impossible to stop him when he has the ball.

Even while playing with th scrubs he picked holes In 'vsrslty forma tions and plunged through them Ilk a catapult. Hurry-Up Is, as usual, reticent about th new man. but Captain Magoffin and some of the older men ar very en thusiasts over the new "phenom." Harry Hammond, brother of th famous Tom Hammond, and veteran end, has re turned to the game. Although late In getting Into the practice has been training out by himself and Is soon expeotwd to take his old place at the right extreme of th line. With Casey at th other end Yost can be assured that th weak points In his line will not th ends.

Ham mond played In '06 and Sehalz Shows Good Form. "Germany" Bchuls Is showing all his old-time form at center. In th practice gam between th 'Varsity and Reserves Wednesday was everywhere on th field at once in spite of the 220 pounds of solid flesh he carries. can break up an Interference formation with as much agility and quickness as a lighter man. such as Lehr.

and it is a long punt that ha can't make good by dumping the man who catches It. In th Wednesday gam demonstrated his agility by leaping up and blocking a punt which the Reserves were allowed from their twenty-flve-yard line on a kick over tha goal line. In connection with his position the difficulty will com In developing a reliable substitute. Wat-kins, who has played with the scrub elevens for several seasons, has been tried In that position In scrimmages and his work has been very credltsble, but hss never been tested In a regulargama. Th sureness and strength of th center ar so tlndtsffenslMe to the success of the team that Yost will make th most of Watklns to provide against possible Injury to "Germany." Loell Has th Call.

Allerdlce. who began the practice season by promising to give 'jack Loell a hard rsc for the fullback Job, Is temporarily Incapacitated by a broken nose. Th only other serious opponent to Loell seems to ba Rhelnschlld. "Khelny" Is heavier and fully as fast as Loell and has th advantage of more experience. He was a guard In '06 and assistant coach during the '08 season.

If he is not used at fullback ha will play taokle. It is not at all probable that ha will be put back inliis old place at tha left of Bchuls. The quarterback race, is still a lively one, but one fact is assured and that Is that whether Miller or Waamund wins tha honor of steering the 'varsity, th position will be well filled. Wasmund seems at the present to be a little In tha. lead.

Both, however, are sure, and, as far as can be judged before an' actual trial, ar heady and cool. Miller puts a little more dash into the team, running through -bis signals mora but Wasmund stars In ln4 dividual Miller, at quarter and Rum. ney, who has been fighting with Lehr to work at right half, have been trying th forward pass Jn tha practlc scrimmages. Miller seems to- able to keep his eye open and his wits about him well enough to'exeeut that difficult play In spit of Interference. Several times Wednesday ha was boxed by th Reserves before he had seen a chsnca for a- clear throw, but In every case' he managed to shoot the pigskin straight over his opponents' heads Into Rumney's walling arms.

Rumney plays his part of th trick well, and Indications would point to this play as an Important factor In Yost's methods for scoring this season. Graham Qnlek Ills Fet. "Octy" Graham, th 216-pound guard, who. In spite of his weight and sh'ortn, la handy quick with his feet. Is developing considerable skill as a placement kicker.

With th aid of either Miller or Wasmund, who ar both accurate In holding th ball when It is to booted, has kicked a number of goals In th dally scrimmages. "Octy" seems to bell that It Is up to him to make himself Indispensable. Since Flannagan, a big, red-headed sophomore, has been playing guard for tha Reserves and has been paying "Octy" particular attention. "Octy" hss been Improving his kicking until now th gosls from touchdowns ar left for him to do and will expected to make a few from tha field. Yost Is fairly well satisfied with th material from which ha to build his 1907 eleven, but Is fond of a discouraged x-presslon when everyone els Is Inclined to cheerful, and so has tried to mak his friends believe is worried.

Th teams ar doing their two and thre-hour stunts every day, with frequent ml and signal quisles In th evening. Slowness or Inaccuracy In learning rules and signals la a greater crime In the' eye of the Michigan coach than th failure to' seise an opportunity for a brilliant play. Opening of th S4an. Th case gsm Saturday opens th regular season. Th scientists from Ohio usually hav th honor of starting things In Ann Arbor, and always put up a gam fight.

In on Instance they wer able to score on Michigan. Their tlmat of th strength of the team Is considered a fair criterion for the beginning of th season. In lluC, although a -comfortable aeor was plied up against they declared tb 'varsity to be (0 per cent weaker than In former years, and tbclr Judgment, wss proved correct.
