Indianola, Nov. 29.-The result of yes
| terday's game with Ames gives Simpson
| third place in Iowa foot ball.
| Simpson has played nine games, has
won seven, tied with one and lost only
to Grinnell. 1t is the best record ever
| made by a Simpson foot ball team and
be considered as a hard proposition.
Rae L. Dean and James A. King
played their last games with Simpson
yesterday. They are the only two the
team will lose, but they are among the
best men on the team. The so-called
big four now stands as follows: Iowa,
Grinnell, Simpson, Drake.

80 to o; Penn College, A to 0; Cornell,
% to 10; Drake. 10 to 5; University Of
Wisconsin. 10 to o; played a tie with
Normal, OF to g. and lost only to the
swift team from Iowa College.
Indianola. Nov. 29.-Before a crowd of
Simpson defeated Iowa State College Of
Ames by score of ~ to O.. The game
was fierce from start to finish. Ames
was unable to puncture Simpsons line,
or to circle her ends Simpson was able
to punch Ames' line for small gains
only, but circled her ends for long gains
many times Ames' tandem play was
knocked to pieces before 1t got fairly
started, and she was almost always
tackled with no gain on her end runs
Only once did Coyle break thru for any
considerable gain. Scholty for Ames
put up fine game, especially on de-
Tense. 1t is hard to decide who were the
star players on the Simpson team, as
each man was in the game all the
time. Simpsons defense was fine. Dean
excelled in running back punts. Ames
handled punts much better than did
Simpson, especially in the second half,
but was not SO successful in running
them back.
Simpsons team work was much bet
ter than in any previous game. In the
Drake game. especially, remarks were
dropped by many who witnessed the
game that Simpson followed her inter-
ference too closely. This was also true
to certain extent in the Grinnell game.
Yesterday however all past tactics
were dropped and the Simpson backs
went into the game to win any way they
could. The guardeback play was also
used with considerable effect
The Simpson team is not the same
team it was two or three weeks ago.
Coach Griffith for the past two weeks
has drilled tie team against Ames' tao
tics. and with what results yesterdays
score will tell. Mr.. Griffith perfected
two end runs which wer eused with tell
ing effect against the Ames aggrega-
ton. In preparing the team for the
game Coach Griffith has demonstrated
the fact that he is foot ball coach OF
exceptional ability.
