Iowa City. Oct. 22.-The new foot
ball rules received the best test they
have vet been given by Iowa teams
on Saturday and while opinion is more
or less divided as to their value, the
majority of experts are willing to state
that they have made an Improvement
in the game. As a result of several
games in which the teams were even
~ matched. seven goals from the field
netted % points for four Iowa teams
I'M their games on that day. It was
Sby long odds the day for the man with
the well trained toe ands two games
We're decided absolutely on the kicking
ability of the men in the four
teams. Jeanson scored two drop kicks
against Nebraska for Ames; Taylor
of Drake performed similar feat
against tDes Moines College; Blea-
master, OF Grinnell, made place kick
in thet Grinnell-Coe game and Thomas
of Coe duplicated the trick and AS
ton. Goes game little left end made a
drop kick, winning the game, after
making 60-yard run. The Ames-
Nebraska game was the only one
whose result. had been fairly well
forecasted before the teams lined up

Anses 0uteiasssd Nebraska.
According to the reports from Lin
coin, Nebraska was completely OUT
classed from the time the whistle
blew until the game ended, tho all of
the points scored by Ames, against
Nebraska would have, been called
faukes last season under the old rules.
Ames' one touchdown came on a for
ward pass captured by McElhinney,
one of Ristines speedy ends, and the
play is the best illustration yet this
year of one of the greatest di,ngers
attending the use of the forward pass.
This year instead Of such a ouch
down being called a dulSe, 1t is accept-.
ed in the natural order Of things.
Jeanson's two field goals were well
earned and demonstrated conclllsively
that the A1nes quarterback Is play

game with Des Moines College last
Saturday. With the exception Of the
Nebraska game, Ames has played
against ceptiona1lys weak teams. All
this, however, in full recognition Of
the fact that the farmers have a mag
nificent aggregation Of playing talent
Anes We. Minnesota,
What then is to be the outcome of
the Ames and Minnesota game to be
played in Minneapolis next Saturday?
Has Ristine a chance to continue his
great run of luck. and defeat a MEM
Der of the western conference for the
first time? 1t will be the frs. game,
for DIR. Williams team, while Ames
will go into the contest thoroughly
seasoned by Eve games, one of which
has made the men fight to their ut
most capacity. One hesitates to yeh-
tIre prediction on "a game Of that
kind in which one of the teams has
not played before this season and the
other has made such g. record as the
Farmers have. DR.. Williams is reports
ed to have squad of big men, but he
has lost the old stars who made Mir
nesota's reputation in the west. 1t is
certain that at no time during the past,
years in which Ames has journeyed tn
Minneapolis for an annual contest,
with the Gophers, has Ristihe's men,
had as good an opportunity to win.
Ames will never win in straight foot
bal. because heavy as the Farmers
are, they will hardly be able to punch
the Minnesota line, while the Minne-
sofas wide mass plays should net sub,
stantial gains. For this reason 1t is
believed that the Gophers will capture
their opening contest and by a sub
stantial score.
I brakes Poor Showing.
The Drake and Des Mloines College
game pricked the bubble of the Des
Moines University's reputation. Doc
Pell's claims that he ihaa, one of the
best working teams in years past, had
made Iowa rooters believe that Drake
might become a formidable candidate
for the state championship. Nebras
ka's low score against the Blue and
White had helped that belief along.
But despite the Drake victory Son Sat
urday the game pulled Coach Pelrs
men back into the class of teams here
tofore composed of Coe, Des Moines
College Grinnell and Cornell. brakes
game with Grinnell next Saturday will
probably result in kicking the Scar
let and Black still farther down the
ladder. Aside from the kicking the
Coe and Grinnell game would have re-
suited in tie, as neither tenn was
strong enough no gain their distance
gainst the weak defense offered by
their opponents Coach Hamilton's
Grinnell team probably suffered a
greater less in reputation by the de-
feat administered by Coe than any
otl,e. defeated team in the state and
this week at least. Grinnell is crowd
ing Cornell for honors at the, bottom
CT the heap
Cornell We. Des Moines.
Cornell and Des Moines College will
meet Saturday at MI. Vernon ana
from the record made by The two
teams 1t Is practically certain that
Des Moines will win by a comfort
able margin. Coach Boyle's men have
been improving every week as their
game with Drake shows ard next
Saturday should find them in excel
lent shape
