Drop Kick the
Only Score Made
By Iowa Varsity
Hyland Wins the Game in Closing
Minutes of Play After Several
Futile Attempts.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Oct. 9.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Hyland's drop kick in the last
ten minutes of play from the twenty-five
yard line defeated Cornell, 8 to 0, in one
of the best early season exhibitions OF
foot bail ever played here. Despite a
wet field and rain the teams fought
desperately and fumbles were few. Han
sons toe kept Iowa's goal from danger
for the greatest part Of the game, when
Cornell's offense became strong. Iowa
rushed the ball to CornelTs one yard line
in the second half, largely through a
great f%ifty-yard run by Collins in rsturn-
ing a punt three times in the first half
the ball was within Cornelrs fifteen
yard line. Hyland attempted drop kicks
five times before he sent the ball be-
tween the posts. Hyland, Captain Gross,
Hanlon and Murphy played fine ball for
Iowa, while Neidig, Turett and Coppess
were the Cornell stars.
Stewart, Iowa's quarterback, was in
jured in returning a punt in the second
half and Dyer was substituted. After
! Iowa's score Cornell made a despairing
effort to score a touchdown, and through
split bucks and the only forward pass
of the game, made sixty-five yards, when
the final whistle blew with the ball on
Iowa's ten-yard line.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. ~s.-(Special
TelegTam.)-After scoring three touch
downs, a goal and a safety In the first half
OF the game against Ames this afternoon
DR.. Williams pulled out Johnson, Rade-
macher and Pickering, the three bright
stars Of Minnesota, and as a result, the
sturdy farmers from Iowa held the Goph-
ers ~scorless in the second half, the game
ending Minnesota, IS; Ames, 0.
The game was played in a steady down.
pour Of rain which converted Northrop field
into a sea Of mud and made any kind Of
spectacular play impossible. III work of
Minnesota back field was nothing less than
marvellous when the condition of the grid
iron is considered. Time after time, John
ston, McGovern, Pickering and Stevens
broke away for long runs and failed only
to make douchdowns on account OF the
mud. Minnesota made no attempt to I'M
cork a thing in new foot ball and made
practically all its gains on old double
passes, cross bucks and off tackle plays.
Its success, however, was due in large
part to the superb generalship of Captain
McGovern, who mixed up his plays in such
an excellent style that he had his opponents
mystified at all times. McGovern's hand
ling Of the soggy ball could not be i'm
proved upon, and his long returns OF punts
brought the crowd to its feet more than
once. The tackling. interference and gen.
eral team work showed a vast improvement
over that of last Saturday.
Ames Makes Distance Twice.
But twice during the whole game did the
farmers make their downs and both times
by sensational runs. In the first half
Bingham got around Minnesota's left and
was downed after a fifteen-yard gain, and
in the second half Harte got loose around
the other end for twenty yards. For a
moment 1t seemed that Ames would score,
but McGovern, after a brilliant tackle,
downed the runner and Ames lost its only
chance to count Owing to the fact that
clean handling Of the ball was almost i'm
possible neither side tried anything spec
t~acular, although Minnesota made two
weak tries at forward passes and both
sides made several Intellectual onside kicks.
The work Of the Gopher tackles, Walker
and McCree, going down under punts, was
wonderful and such work has seldom been
seen in the west. Too much praise cannot
be given this pair for their grand work.
A noticeable feature OF the game was

PERU, Neb., oct. ~9.-(SpeciaI Telegram
One Of the swiftest games ever played
on the Normal field was that with Tarkto
this afternoon and resulted in a score of
IL to 0 in Tarkio's favor. The game started
at a lively pace when Beck made a twenty
yard return OF the kickoff and Stoddard
held the Tarkio man by a good tackle.
The outlook was good for Peru when
Neff, assisted by Skinner. broke the line
and Stoddard made another strong tackle.
Tarkio then made a strong play. but

first half was hard fighting until, after
repeatedly being blocked. Tarkio executed

Neff, Sims and Skinner did star work,
while Stewart played the game as only
a man OF his grit and experience can.

that Peru has a winning team. The Lineup

DIES MONIES, Ia, Oct. e.-(special Tele-
gram.)-Bellevue defeated Highland Park
college, II to 8, on Highland Parks grounds
today. A muddy field prevented open play
ing. Bellevue won by line plunges and
straight foot ball. Highland Park out
played Bellevue in the first half, but Belle
vue's star playing and good luck won the
game. In the first half Sweeney for High
land Park made a drop kick for three
points, which were all Highland Park
made. After Highland Park kicked off to
Bellevue the Nebraskans took the ball, and
by line plunges and straight playing car
ried the ball straight across the goal line.
In the last part of the last half Highland
Parks center passed the ball to Sweeney
for apuntt, but passed 1t over his head and
across their own goal line. Bellevue
tackled Sweeney across the goal line, max
ing two points. Bellevue made a touch
down in each half, but failed to kick goal.

Kansas made one touchdown in each half

and Johnson %outpunted his opponent Dahl
enc, a last years star, was in the game to-

The scourne Of Rats.

One Of the most serious problems
the department of agriculture has
had to meet is the Kidding the country
Of the millions of rats with which it is
infested, and which are especially the
foes of the farmer. 1t is estimated
that the rat pest costs the United
States $1O0,OOO,OOO yearly in grain de-
stroyed alone. The rat also pollutes
a great quantity of food products
which it does not eat, does great dam
age by digging under buildings and
embankments, gnawing wood, cutting
up goods and papers to make nests,
killing poultry and stealing eggs.t The
most destructive species is the Nor
way rat, which has been carried to
all parts of the world on ships. It is
calculated that single pair of rats,
would, in three years, under favor
able circumstances, increase to TWEEN
ty millions. The department of agri.
culture has planned a vigorous cru
sade against the vermin, and it rec
ommends ratproof construction in
buildings, better protection cot food
supplies and the use of various pois-
ons in localities haunted by rats.-Les.

Men and Lace.

It is curious to know that lace, now
almost the unique possession of
women, owes it's development, If not
its actual existence, to men. When
lace was being slowly evolved from
drawn work the Popes and great pre-
iates Of the church used it on their al
tar vestments and robes, fostered and
encouraged its production, and paid
large sums for it. Later, lace became
an absolute essential Of masculine at
tire, in ruffs, in collars, in sashes, in
garters and even as decoration at
the shoe top. Under the Stuarts
the, collection of laces became pas
sion Of the court, and noblemen were
as frequently known for their posses
sion of rare lace as for collections Of
valuable painting or gems.-Dundee
Advertiser.
