The Northwestern author-itiee wired today that they would expect to play Nebraska Nov. 23 and get the guarantee of $4,000 apeoified in the original oontract. Prof. R.

(Special to The Star.) NOTRE DAME, Ind Oct the big scrimmage Saturday, in which Coach Rockne took his two star halves, Bahan and Glpp, with him into the onks of the freshmen and held the varsity to a tie score, not a man re- an Injury except Barry, who his ankle when tackling the la. erlng-ram, Glpp" The Notre Dame eleven is In good shape and anxious for the big contest with Nebraska next Saturday in Lincoln. On other ex ception to this statement is Locks rd, the regular quarter, who is still limping and forbidden to drill or to get into a football suit, Rockne, however. lege and thought of becoming a doctor. thinks he will be In the scrimmage today.

Rockne has been expecting this so long, though, that fans are skeptical. If Lockard cannot play Saturday, the N. V. coach must do one of two things he must give Mohn, a freshman, a trial, or he must call In Bahan from half to general the "fighting Irish" toam. Coach Rockne was not satisfied with the work of the team in the big test' he gave them Saturday.

Is attracting- considerable atentlon on the Paclflo ooaat by the manner In which I cleaning un everybody that Dame followers think he does not estimate highly enough Ms own part i Guarantee Question Settled and Red and Black Will Fill Turkey Day Date.

The athletio managers of Lincoln and Cambridge high schools have agreed on financial terms, after a long distance colloquy lasting two weeks, and the situation today permits a definite announcement that the Lincoln squad will journey to the Furnat county town to fill its date for a Thanksgiving day game with the Cam-bitdge team. Originally, the agreement between the two managements called for a guarantee of $300 by Cambridge. The contract was entered into last April. Subsequently, railroad fares and other traveling expenses were Increased by govern tnntal decree, with the result that the Lincoln management declared it was impossible to get out even on the $300 basis. Principal Pickell and Head Coach Beck, acting for Lincoln, recently Informed the Cambridge management that the guarantee would have to be boosted 1400.

The negotiations have been hanging fire, but a wire came to The Star today from Supt. C. L. Llttel of Cambridge conveying the Information that his school would Increase the guarantee to the $400 figure. Competent officials are to he selected by mutual agreement and the Cambridge management guarantees that the playing field will be pro.

tected from possible invasion by spectators. Stat Title at Stake. The Cambridge-Lincoln game will have an important bearing on the outcome of the championship race In in terscho'astlo football circles. Cambridge is rated as the strongest team In the southwest section of the state. Lincoln has eliminated Beatrice, while York, another aspirant to championship honos, has to its credit a victory over South Omaha, which defeated Omaha Central in an early season gam.

With Omaha Central out of the race, the three most formidable bidders for the title are Cambridge, York and Lincoln. The assurance that the York and Lincoln teams are to get together, despite the postponement of their game scheduled for Oct. 2, will factor in a partial settlement the championship question and possibly clear the way for an out-and-out title contest between Cambridge and Lincoln. Should both York and Cambridge trounce Lincoln and in event a comparison of scores could not solve the title problem, the state high sohool association might call on York and Cambridge to get together in a postseason game. Meantime, Lincoln will meet Its two most formidable rivals for the championship' and the Red and Black squad is In a position to establish a claim on the title that cannot be refuted even by Omaha Central.

Lincoln Trims Husker Thirds. Coach Beck's Lincoln youths collided Tuesday afternoon at the street field with Head Coach Kline's third Cornhuskers, the Red and Black team trimming the embryo Huskers, 13 to 6. A forward pass, Deffenbaugh to Lewellen, netted Lincoln Its first touchdown, but the Husker thirds evened the count by intercepting a Lincoln pass and crossing the Red and Black goal. Lincoln clinched the victory during the second half, when Pugh, an end. intercepted a Cornhusker pass and sprinted down the field and planted the ball behind the third team's goal.

The Lincoln squad will depart Friday afternoon for Norfolk to clash with Norfolk, high in a Saturday game. Coach Beck of Lincoln and Principal Jones of York were in conference in Lincoln today In an effort to agree on a date for a York-Lincoln game. York is scheduled to play Falrbury on Nov. $.

Tt wts Just 107 year ago today that Tom Oliver boxed a draw with Tom Mollneaux, the American negro, In London. This was the first appearanc of Oliver, afterward destined rank a one of the greatest of British fighters, and it provoked wild applause for the youngster. The occasion was a benefit given to Dan(el Mendosn, the great Hebrew fighter, at which a number of pugilist volunteered to perform. Mollneaux boxed with Isaac Bitten, a Hebrew, and the Virginia darkey soon gave the Israelite enough of it. The negro then challenged anybody present to meet him, and Oliver, a husky gardner, offered himself.

To th surprise of everybody, the novlc held the black man even, although It was a brief bout with the "mittens," and Oliver thenceforth determined to be a prlxeflghter. Oliver's battl with Ned Painter, in which he was defeated, was Immortalised by George Borrow in his novel nut every time he succeeded in gaining at least fifteen or twenty yards. Glpp's stiff-arm many a time saved him from tackles that would have downed many a good man, and he and Bahan worked together In a way to Two heights in a teach football to their younger associates.

Not one member of the team had Cornhusker fo4lba.ll stock, In advance-of next Saturday's battle with Notre went soaring Tuesday a- tf moon, when the Huskoi took on the Cotner Bulldogs In a practice combat (on Nebraska field and smothered the suburmanltes, 39 to 0. The Bulldogs, outweighed by a substantial margin, could not stand up under the smashing; Cornhusker attack and the KJlne-Schlssler warriors piled up six touchdowns In a playing period of thirty minutes.

The second half, which was slashed to ten minutes, found Husker substitutes in action and the Bulldogs, although battling with their backs up against the Cotner goal line, managed to balk the subs In the efforts of the latter to break through to another touchdown. Fullback Ernest Hubka, eleoted Tuesday to the captaincy of the Cornhusker team for the remainder of the season, was the main, driving rod of the Husker offense. Hubka ploughed through the Cotner line to two touchdowns and then ran up a third when he Intercepted a Cotner pass in mtd-field and raced across the Bulldogs' twenty-five yards( on, an end sprint, Howarth also registered touchdowns, the Kuskers using an offense which was a mixture of end runs, line buck; and forward passes. Howarth, playing at quarterback, displayed superb generalship in directing the Husker offense. Hubka's showing in the back field was one of the outstanding features, whjle who recently recovered- from a month's sickness, played th left halfback position with his old-time brilliance.

Brestel and McMahon, rated as regulars, were not In action Tuesday, but both are expected to be in the moleBklns during another practice clash, dated for Thursday afternoon, with Pat Norrls' Methodists from Nebraska Wesleyan. Captain Dickson, who represents at least half of Cotner's offensive strength, was not in physical condition to do himself Justice.

Left Halfback McLaughlin once broke away for twenty-five yards, on an end sprint while the Bulldogs also executed two successful foward passes. Strain to Knapple, which netted fifteen and ten yards.
