Des Moines, Oct. 26.-Entering in to
the general spirit of the day that of
upsetting dope, the football team ri
the Iowa State College put to rout the
knockers in the ranks of their student
body and won a dazzling game from
the University of Missouri Iowa, en-

University of Minnesota to a single
touchdown. Predictions of even the
most sansuine of the state university
alumni We're for at least two scores
against the Iowa team. 1t was not Il
bad day for Iowa football teams all
the way around with the exception OF
Grinnell. Carleton made the largest
score OF the year against an Iowa team
at the expense of the Consregat ional-
lists.
y few OF the wise ones predicted the
AmeS victory. 1t was expected that
the +Ames open play, which failed TO
work against Minnesota. would work
against weaker ends. This proved to
be the situation and Missouri was
practically helpless before Coach Will
1iams formations. The victory of Ames
gives the latter a clean slate in the
Missouri Valley for their meeting with
the University OF Nebraska at Lincoln
Saturday. The game would seem to in
dicate that the Ames coaches have de-
veloped the back field to a point where
it can help out the really competent
and accomplished line.

The Iowa NJ inneSOta game followed
