Game Every Saturday.

AMEs, Ia, Sept. 9.-(Special)-The Am,s
foot bali schedule this lall is one OF tus
hardest which II has ever tackled. Begin

taken before the final game Of the season
with Drake university on ThRnRsglVing
day. M~orningside has always sven AIMS
a good, hard game, and while nothing Is
known Of its team this fan It should De
faster than ever, and Ames will nave TO
put up the fight Of It's life to keep. the
record clear. Coe. comlng a week later,
Is u speedy college team and Is usually tull
Of surprises for the Asgies. on October
away from home, With Cornell at Mt. vrr.
non and South Dakota at Ames following
for the next two Saturdays. Then VIII
come the game with Missouri at Columbia
on October 81, and as Ames has made quite
a name for itself In Missouri valley circles,
the Tigers will no doubt give the men an
awful clawlns. This will not leave them ~
the best Of condition for the big game OF
the season with Nebraska, coming only. q
week later besides, the game wil be
played at Omaha, and the men VIII nave
to undergo the fatigue Of a long ride.
Grinnell has q heavy line this year ara
a speedy baekfield, and II VIII Keep ane
holes where the speedy halves might get
away with the bail. Drake is preparing To
foot bali coach. and lots Of good, new ma

taSe. and Wilmarty smashed the line halu
for some fair gains; but the sSIuos moi
game and the varsity assnreaiS sTisi TO
claim that they have inferior maleriH' "
nractIce on this year.
Ii ia true that the Ames team mas mutt
of It's last years material paek tU vii
show even the casual observer tnai ln
spite Of this the team will be sadly laekins
in weight as co ona TSa ve wt VIM not be in
the game. This means that an entirely new
line will have to be formed on the rlsnI
weightier than is Rutiedge, and Nelson,
last years left guard, win not likely DS
into the game for sometime on account y
seuuentiy out OF condition. The backfield
will be substantially the same as that OF
Iasf te yeIr in in The form Of Green, wiimarty
and Williams wilt be new and, as yet un,
tried. McRoberts or Hasan will sub a.
half. alternating for 81 Lambert in that
position. Fred Law has Just returnea 10
school and will be out for his OLD position
ever this season, his delay in getting into
training has made him a little the worse
for condition. POoley Will play a. iOht
guard and Davis at right guard, with Muir
ply alternate for the two positions. Gray
or williams will play at right tackle, Wnlie
Reppert will take care of right end. Tel
lier is also a fast end and may play part
of the Morningside game. Graham or
Reeves will constitute the end of the left
wing and Johnson will sub for Law. at
tackle. Deacon is a good center and is
sure of his place on the sub varsity:
While Ames has lost Thayer, with his
long drives over the goal on the kickoff,
it will be as well supplied. with punters
this year as last. Lambert, the old reliable,
is still here. Besides this, Wilmarty, john
son and Todnum are all good punters.
Morningside need have no fear of having
a drop kick sprung on them when the Ames
team gets near the goal, for Investigation
has shown that with the new men has
come no Eckersall or Capron to add to the
strength Of the Ames team with their
booting abilities. Jeanson was trying 1t
from the thiryt-five-yard line yesterday,
but could not drop them over.
1t has been the policy of the Ames team
in the past not TO pile up scores on the
college teams. This policy is to be con-
tinued In the future. II Morningside does
not win, II Is certain, therefore, that 1t Will
not be beaten by any large margin: In
view of this fact, 1t is evident that any
attempt on the part of dopesters to reckon
the strength OF the Ames team with that
of other teams in Iowa through compare
tive scores will avail but little OF the actual
truth.
