Iowa city, Nov. Saturday was q
day of more even contests than have
been he'd 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 or
Drake. altho her score was only q
small two points on safety.
| In TIL. west outside Of the state
Minnesota and Michigan scored, Wis
consin and ChtcaEo Illinois and North
| western Hanover scored on Rose
Polytechnic. Wesr Virginia on Ohio
Franklin on Wabash. North Carolina
on Kentucky, and West Virginia on
Ohio.
In tie east Carlisle scored on Har-
ward. snd WESLEYAN on Dartmouth.
The wa-Nebraska game was the
most important In the state Saturday
and was very Closely contested, both
state university teams playing their
bsst football. THE game does not leave
Iowa feeling as tlowncast over the re-
suit AZ. would ordinarily be the case
Two OF Nebraskf.'s touchdowns were
made On fluke runs of eighty and forty
yards by Bender, her quarterback
while lowa's touchdown was earned on
straight football. Then. too, Iowa felt
"a, y,1,r, ciro ~ in
the first half ami in the second half of
the game up to the time that Jones
was put out OF the contest by INJURY.
The clay 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 s,,cs~s.s, treat i.7-rovement
over her work of the two weeks
last 'oast in her game with Grinnell.
The alternate sconng OF the teams gave
game most satisfactory to spectators.
1t wsts unfortunate that darkness re-
quire1 the calling OF the game before
the end OF the second half.
Drlke university showed great i'm
provtment in her game with Simpson.
Coach Reids 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.
Anles played an excellent individual
Y1nL Ay of n
the state university team by the excell-
emit score OF tw.enty-three to nothing.
The game In the west to which all
eyes turned was the Michtgan-Min-
nesota game OH Northrup field. Here
was Il battle ct giants, in which each
came Off with llonors almost equal. A
great team ana a great coach must
Minnesota and DIR. Williams hereafter
be hailed, IL, 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 it would
require defeat to take the honors from
her this year She will probably 60
und efeated thru the rest OF her schedule
and remain thu, champion this year, but
Minnesota 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
Overwhelming score of A to shows
the strength of Princeton this year.
Cornell really expected to win the game
over the Orange and Black. Prince
tor should play stronger game against
Yale q week from next Saturday than
Harvard 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 q big brace
by the Crimson.
West Des Moines high school met
defeat by the fast Grinnel team Sat
uiday Grinnell played with 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.
