Saturdays Contests More Even
Than Those of Previous
Games This Season
THE lowA-NEeRAskA GAME
1t Was the Most Important of Those
Played in State and university's
Showing Was Fairly Satisfactory
Michigan M innesota Game Leaves
Championship Undecided.



Iowa City, Nov. 3.-Sa turday was a
day OK more even contests than have
been held on The football gridiron be-
fore this year. Most Of the important
games, too. had both teams scoring
points. In the state Iowa and Nebras-
ka both scored. Cornell and Grinnell
both scored, and Simpson scored on
Drake. altho her score was only a
small two points on safety.
In the west outside of the state,
Minnesota ant. Michigan scored, Wis
consin and Chicago, Illinois and North
western. Hanover scored on Rose
Polytechnic, West Virginia on Ohio.
Franklin on Wabash. North Carolina
on Kentucky. and West Virginia on
Ohio
In the east Carlisle scored on Har-
ward, and Wesleyan OH Dartmouth.
The Iowa-Nebraska game was the
most inportalt in the state Saturday
and was very closely contested. both
state university teams playing their
best football. The game does not leave
Iowa feeling rs downcast over the re-
suit as woult. ordinarily be the case.
Two of Nebraska's touchdowns were
made on fiuke runs Of eighty and forty
yards by Bender, her quarterback.
while Iowa's touchdown was earned on
straight football. Then, too, Iowa felt
that She had Nebraska on the run in
the first half and in the second half Of
rhe game up to the time that Jones
was put out Of the contest by INJURY.
The play was almost wholly In Neb-
raska's territory, save for the last three
minutes Of the game. which tends to
support the Iowa feeling that the
score should at least have been even.
Nebrasgka had better tackles. and.
after Jones retirement. better backs.
AIT center and guard Iowa was superior
and at ends, the playing was stand
off.
Cornell $685. treat ,,rovement
over her work OF the two weeks
last past in her game with Grinneil.
The alternate scoring OF the teams gave
a game most satisfactory to spectators.
1t was unfortunate that darkness re-
auired the calling of the game before
Lie CItA VI t|tc SSSohNA AehiA.
Drake university showed great I'M
provement In her game with Simpson.
Coach Reid's team had been playing
excellent football and a defeat to the
tune OF 45 to 2 is certainly one which
entities great credit to the victory.
Ames played an excellent individual
game against South Dakota, defeating
the state university team by the excell-
ent score of twenty -three to nothing.
The game in the west to which all
eyes turned was the Michigan Min
nesota game on Northrup field. Here
was battle OF giants. In which each
came off VITA honors almost equal.
great team and great coach must
Minnesota and DR.. Williams hereafter
be hailed, If. indeed, they have not been
so hailed before, for nothing less than
the best would hold the great Michi-
gan team OF the great Yost to q tie
score.
Michigan has been the champion of
the west for two years and 1t would
require a defeat to take the honors from
her this year. She will probably go
thru the rest Of her schedule
and remain the champion this year. but
must be remembered very
close to Michigan in the talk Of cham
pions this year.
Chicago defeated Wisconsin in a
game which shows how much Stage
needed Eckersall this year. Three drop
kicks to one touchdown makes luck
look very hard to the Wisconsin root
ers.
Northwestern defeated Illinois by a
close score and earned the right to a
further run for the western champion
ship.
Prlnceton:s defeat of Cornell by the
score of A to 0 SHOWS
the strength of Princeton this year.
Cornell really expected to win the game
over the Orange and Black. Prince
ton should play a stronger game against
Yale week from next Saturday than
will the following Saturday.
Harvard's showing against the Indians,
while showing considerable reserve
power is not very encouraging to those
who have been looking for a big brace
by the Crimson.
West Des Moines high school met
defeat by the fast GrinneH team Sat
urday. Grinnell played with a strength
that shows that any high school will
have hard work to take the state lau-
rels away from her. Marshalltown did
excellent work against Capital Park
and Independence played plucky
game against the Iowa scrubs.
