and the rampant devilment of the civilized Eastern
city! Only out here devilment open and above
board and without any mask of fair seeming, and
there it's behind closed doors There she comes!
The "she" referred to was the stagecoach. 1t
in sight round sharp curve IN the winding
road its four powerful bay horses dripping Perspira-
ton after their long and strong pull over Paradise
Pass. Big Hank Ryder the driver sat alone on
the high seat. There were no outside passengers
that day. and no heads thrust from the doors and
open windows to indicate that there any inside
passengers. The stagecoach had light load for the
first time in three weeks. Hank explained the cause
of this briefly he brought the reeking horses to
standstill before the platform of the Fifth Avenoo
Hotel Train from the East broke down and didn't
connect with the stage. Only one passenger, and
she came in on last nights train.
CHE!" said Pap Ryder in undertone, glancing
- toward Dan Trimpy, who stepped forward to open
the door of the stage when Hank announced the
sex of his only passenger 1t the first lady Hank
had ever been called upon to entertain, and he was
palpably flustered. Even the cook of the Fifth
Avenoo was man, and Hanks wife would not ar
rive in three days. Hank opened the door OF the
COACH and saw within little woman dressed simply
and neatly in black She was pretty woman, per-
haps thirty-fve years DID, and the moment she stood
on the hotel platform Pap Wymore said in
dertone to Skinny Fadden:
The first lady, by jacks!'
No man in Camp Fancy could be more courteous
in the presence of what he called the gnune article
in the way of lady" than could Pap Wymore and
this was unquestionably the ginuine article" Off
went old Pap Wymores limp SLOUGH hat, and when
she dropped her parasol he sprang forward and re-
stored it to her with bow that would have done
credit to Lord Chesterfield. The old mans bearing
in the presence of real ladies was proof that some
where and sometime in the past of which he never
spoke he had known associations OF. refinement and
the usages of good society The past of the old man
had often been subject of on the part OF
his friends; but when they threw out tentative hints
in reference it he senced them with fierce oath.
Skinny Fadden told the truth when he said:
IF you want to rub the old mans fur the wrong
way you just try to quiz him about who he was and
what he before he Pap w ymOre-Wh1ch
may and may not be his real name"
Same your name may or may not be Fadden
retorted one of the men, with little laugh.
The first lady to invade the and hustling
mining town of Camp Fancy followed Dan Trimpy
into his hotel where, he said later he nightly
put to it, to know what to do with her. He solved
the problem by unceremoniousy turning Skinny
Fadden and Long Buck Turner out of the room they
occupied and installed the first lady in it.

these lines, the Athletic federation choosing
not to protest him on the grounds OF his
amateur standing for. the reason tina the
proofs OF the same nave been too well
covered up, but It is evident, nevertheless,
that his only visible means Of livelihood
is derived from his athletic abilities.
The federation and Amateur Athletic
union have an agreement OF alliance and
LonEboat Is not qualified to compete under
either organization.
The Canadian Amateur Athletic union
has not suspended nor reinstated Long

IOWA FAILS TO GET BIG SCORE
Three TOuchdowns from MorninRside
on = Muddy Field.


SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct. 24-Cspecial Tel
egram.)-In a steady %downpour and with
the mud on Nilsson park ank deep. Morn
ingside held Iowa this afternoon to a IS
to o score. Outside OF Iowa's frequent
use of the forward pass neither brought
into use little but straight foot ball.
Iowa scored two t~ouohdowns in the first
half and one In the second half. All
three of them resulted from consistent
punching of the line. Iowa's backfield
was ineffective, the principal Hawkeye
gains being made by the two big tackles,
Stutsman and Seidel, whose weight told
on the light M~orningside line. The con-
dltion of the field made II impossible to
get a real test of the two teams, the mud
being an especial handicap to Morning
side, which had depended on the speed
OF it's players TO score on Cstlin's team.
The slippery ball made catching punts
difficult and as a result both elevens
frequently resorted to kicking. In this
department Smith slightly outkicked Hy-
land and the height Of the Morningsider's
spirals made it possible for his ends to
get down the field and prevent any long
returns.
Iowa brought the forward pass into use
nine times and it worked successfully five
times. the total gains, however, only to-
falling about thirty-five yards. Twice
the Hawkeyes were penalized for the fault
of the play to work, and once Halfback
Rogers, intercepted and on q dry field,
would have gotten away for a touchdown,
and, as Il was, he would have scored II
he had not slipped in the mud, as he had
a clear field. The v~isitors' most con-
sistent ground gamers were Catlin's tan
dem tackle bucks. who slid along over
the slippery field. Morningside on
straight foot ball was unable TO gain
first down once, Smith as a rule punting
on the second down. The locals never
tried an end run or a forward pass.
Gross ard Stutsman starred for Iowa,
while Collins and Smith were the strong
Morningside men. Collins frequently sifted
through the lows line and broke up plays,
while Smiths p%unting kept the score down.
Smylie and Stewart, the two quarters, both
handled the bail well, despite it being so
slippery.
IoWa's first touchdown came after seven
minutes OF play, a tumble giving it the
ball on Morningside's twenty-yard line.
Four smashing plays directed at the Metho-
6ist tackles sent the ball over. Gross
carried the ball on the last play. Hyland
kicked goal. After ten minutes more of
play Iowa secured the, ball IN Morning
sides forty-yard line after a punt by
Smith and a forward pass which netted
fifteen yards. an end run by Collins for
ten yards. together with a series of tandem
tackle bucks, brought smother touchdown.
Hazard carried the ball on the final play.
In the second half the play for two
thirds OF the time was in Iowa territory,
the M~orningsiders apparently having solved
the Hawkeye ~offense. Stewart then brought
his heavy tackles into play and in the last
few minutes hit the Methodist line hard.
From the forty-yard line big StutsmaI
carried the ball over for the final touch
down. In the second half Halfback Collins
Of Iowa was disqualified for sluggins. The

and none of them wants TO miss II.
The size OF the crowd OF rooters which
followed the team to Minnesota last week
was cut down considerably on account OF
the game At Omaha next month. Many
students who could not afford 10 make
both trips preferred to so TO Omaha and
stayed away from Minneapolis. They fla
ured they will be able to ave a better

dents have been laying plans for celebrat-
the metropolis.

The various frsternities OF the university
and their alumni living In Omaha will hold
banquets IN Omaha Friday and Saturday
evenings. November 6 and :. for entertain
ing the visiting fraternity men from Ames.
Other students are planning to visit the
theaters on the night OF the game and
celebrate I'm various ways. Both Ames
and Nebraska will send their cadet bands.
Ames has about fifty pieces in the band
and Nebraska has over sixty. With the
students from both Of the colleges and
the Nebraska alumni from all over the
state in attendance at the game Omaha
ought to resemble a real university town.
The present indications are that the peo-
pie who go TO Omaha for the Ames game
will see one OF the greatest battles OF the
season. Ames Is preparing daily for the
game and is confident of winning. The
sting Of last years defeat at the hands
Of the Cornhuskers Is still felt by the
Aggies and they are going to make the
greatest effort OF the season to turn the
trick on Nebraska. Their showing against
Minnesota two weeks ago when they
really outplayed the Gophers in a IS to 10
struggle indicates that they stand equal
chances with the Cornhuskers of winning
on November z.
For the last three weeks the Nebraska
cross-country candidates nave been in train
ing for the western intercollegiate run at
Chicago November H. The squad consists
Of fifty men and is working under the
coaching OF DR.. Clapp. Nebrasks's chances
of taking the run this fall are poorer than
they have been for several seasons. Only
one man OF last years team Is back and
most Of the other candidates are green ma
terial. Last season the Cornhusker team
won the run and thereby gained perma-
nent possession OF the western intercolIeRf-
ate cross-country trophy cup. The cup
went to the team winning the run three
times. Nebraska won first in 1904. 1905 and
1907.
