Ball Game-Iowa and Kansas
Also Winners.

Z The Ashland High school foot ball team
demonstrated the fact yesterday afternoon
that it has earned its reputation by good,
hard work. Though the men are heavier
than high school teams will average, they are
not nearly so heavy as the Young Mems
Christian association team, which they de-
feated yesterday. They play an excellent
team game, however, and their interference
is remarkably good. In yesterdays game
the Young Mems Christian association never
failed TO make a gain where they bucked the
line, owing to superior weight, but il Is
almost equally true that they never gained
around the end. The opposite was
true of Ashland. While bucking the
line was not generally fruitful
she seemed to be all alone on the field when
mn end run was in progress of erection.
Time and time again she went around the
end for ten, twenty, fifty, and over seventy
i've yards. There is no telling how much
farther Brush would have gone this time il
he hadn't made a touchdown when he got
that far. These long runs, however, were
made In tho first half, Ashland making
twenty-five of her points before the end of
that half. Oschenbien was injured and JEFF
ferries, Doane's coach this year, took his
place. This seemed to put new life into the

end of the game Ashland got but six more
points, though she fought as she never
fought before.
Omaha Works n Whirling Wedge.
.Omaha started off with the flying wedge,
made some gain, but lost the ball. Brush
then went around the end for fifty yards.
After some scrimmage work Ashland lost
the ball again. Omaha lost on four downs.

made ten yards on a wedge, then she lost
the ball on a tumble. Then Williams got
Around the end for twenty yards and made a
touchdown, and Shedd kicked goal.
Omaha started off again with the flying
wedge for a few yards gain. Coleman went
through the line for five yards. Van Camp
took the ball through on a wedge for twenty
yards. Just here one of Ashland's players
got funny and swiped the bail for two sacks
with his fist, whereat the umpire sent him
back to his base and gave Omaha five yards
on q foul, Then Van Camp bucked the line
twice aud went through on a wedge over for
d total gain of fifteen yards. Waltemeyer
went around the end for ten yards, and Tuf-
field went through the line for a touchdown.
BIC kicked goal, making six points for
Omaha.
Rather Quick Work.
1t took Ashland just seven minutes t. rush
the ball over Omaha's base line for a touch
down and three seconds longer to touch O
gonl.
Omaha Farted of with the flying wedge
for five yffds, ana, after some hard might
ing, BRUSH took the ball UP into Onaha's
back yard for a touchdown, a run of about
Eeventy-ire yards. Tn ball after the start
off was rushed down to Omaha's f~ve-yard
line. AT this ~juncture Oschenbien was hurt
and Jeffries took his place. After some sharp
uppercutting, both sides got groggy and

and rolled over the line, Omaha making a
safety. In the few minutes remaining of
the first half The ball walked up and down
the field q little, but not much was done.
In the second half Ashland took the ball
and made twenty yards on the checkerboard
play. Shedd went around the end for ff-
teen more, and Gilbert put twelve on top of

for a touchdown. Shedd kicked a goal.
Omaha then tried the checkerboard for
twenty yards, Van Camp went around the
end for ten more. Tufaeld took the ball, but
Williams broke through the line and dropped
him in mis- tracks.
AT this stage Of the game some one kicked
Pickering in the back and he gave way to
Clark. Ashland lost ground on some fun,
bling, then Jeffries broke through and downed
Gilbert before he had time to weigh anchor,
