withstanding the fact that as usual
thing practice games are rather tame
affairs, the enc Of Saturday was an ex-
ception to the rule. There was little, II
any. ragged foot ball played, both teams
entering into the spirit of winning as II
it had been a regular intercollegiate
contest.
To the local foot ball enthusiast the
game was a decided treat. and brought
back to him the olden days when he
stood along the side lines and cheered
until he was, hoarse surging mass OF
humanity that was struggling towards
the coveted goal. In other words on
Saturday Finkles. park was likened UNI
to college foot ball field. The Ames
rooters, for the most part took their
places alons; the east side. while those
who cheeretl the plays and sang the
praises OF the scarlet and black formed
in q line on the west side. Every. bit OF
vantage Won met with q hearty response
from the side to whose credit It be-
longed. Twice did it look as II the col
3ors OF scarlet and black were to tri-
umph, in one instance the ball being
carried to d point within one foot dis
tant from the Ames goal and again to
within one yard. Unfortunately in the
first instance goal post prevented the
player carrying the pigskiii over the line
and the ball was lost on downs, never
again to see victory quite SO near.
Il The Grinnell men, considering every
thing, played the best foot ball. A light

thru right tackle, and an off-side play
on the part OF Stevens gave Grinnell ten
yards. After Referee Bremner had
placed the ball to the point gained IN
the penalty Lyman went thru right
guard and center for two yards. Collins
followed him up with another two-yard
gain for single yard. The first tumble
was then recorded, Welksr falling IN his
calculations and dropping the pigskln.
Evans recovered 1t. however, and on the
next snap-off made a pretty gain OF

supporters OF the cardinal and gold.
McKeag was given the ball but failed
to gain thru right tackle. Welker
made three around the right. and Col
Inns hit the right for the last gain,
bringing the ball to within foot Of the

however, and he couldn't land over the
line. The ball went to Ames on downs
Then began the struggle back over the
ground that had been gained by 80 hard
work on the part Of the Grinnell men.
Cove gained three yards around the
right end, and Schiller two more around
the left. Deschler smashed the center
for small gain, but the smashing tao
