ball games brought surprises on grid
| irons in all sections nf the country.
Yale's defeat by Princeton, Northwest
erns tie by Notre Dame and the Ames-
Simpson and Coe-Corr4e,l games ali
brought surprises and had the element
OF the unexpected in hem.
| Ames played excellent football in tho
first fifteen minutes of the game at In
quite even, with the advantage in favor
of Simpson. Simpsons carrying the
ball over Ames goal line, only to lose
Lit across the line. was hard bit of
| luck for Coach Reds men, for instead
Of the touchdown they had earned the
play counted a safety.
Simpsons penchant FOR safeties this
season is really unique. She has made
safeties ON Iowa. Drake and Ames. AS
she has been defeated only by these
three teams and has the Grinnell game
for her Thanksgiving event, Simpson
stands an excellent chance of not being
shut out in single game. To be de-
/
suffer a shut out in none is an excel
llent record. Making safeties in the
/ three is a record which has certainly
not been approached i'll Iowa or in the
west before. and must really be
| unique record for the entire country.
| Ames was weaker on defense than
she was in the Grinneli game. and as
she was not strong in the Grinneil
game it looks as If Drake would be able
| to score with certainty in the Thanks
| giving game at Des Moines. Ames
may improve her offense SO as to
match the Drake defense. but at the
present time Drake seems to have the
| advantage. There is a great deal of
strength in the Ames team, however.
| which did not appear in the Simpson
game, and If this is brought out in the
Drake gan.e .ts lands g.. excellent
show of winning.
Drake played a consistently strong
game against Grinnell and was able to
use her substitutes for a good part of
the game. Grinnell played with the
spirit which is the tradition and pride
of the college, but did not stand to
score. Grinnell held stubbornly near
| her goal line and Just what she nigh:
have done On staving off touchdowns
had the field had the five yards addi-
| tional on each end required to make u
regulation field Is pro5lematical, one of
those things, in fact, that never can
be solved.
Coe overjoyed her supporters by
winning this stubhornly contested
game with Cornell College by the score
| Of 6 to 5.
4 Iowa played an unsatisfactory game
with Missouri on Rollins field at CO.
lun1bia, Mo-, but succeeded in making
the hest score OF any Of the four state
teams that have played the Tigers.
Missouri never stood a chance to score
and gained the first down only six times
in the game. The Iowa offense loafed.
Missouri's excellent defense and two
fumbles to Missouri oy the Hawkeyes
/ on the Missouri ten-y;ird line kept iowa
| from scoring In the second half. Grif-
| hth's attempts at drop kicks were un-
successful.
Iowa's showing was disappointing to
the Hawkeyes. who have been looking
for a victory over Illinois next Satue-
| day. The Iowa team utterly failed to
have an offense equal to that which i.
| has shown in practice. II 1t Is to re-
main a matter of g,iesswork whether
the Hawkeyes will play better than
their practice form or way below 1t, the
result OF Iowas game with Illinois will,
be one of those things that can never
be foretold until they happen.
Illinois suffered 1910 defeat at the
hands of Minnesota. figure that
EQUALS what Iowa should have held the
Gophers to had the Iawkeyes not had
stage fright one day a month ago.
The score. however. shows Illinois
superiority over Iowa, no. only because
| the Mimi did not become stage struck,
vbut because Coach Woodruff played a
number of substitutes. saving his regu-
liars for the Iowa game next Saturday.
