weak and poorly coached team by q
more decisive score than either Ames
or Grinnell could register against
them, That a Solonless Minnesota
team could humble Iowa as 1t did was
not dreamed of by even the opponents
of the state university. while the sup
porters of the Iowa team had visions
of victory without the great Gopher
leader in the lineup. That Missouri
could riddle the Mayser coached Ames
line, could outplay Anies for three Of
the four periods and virtually earn a
tie was not a pleasant pill for the sup
porters of Ames to swallow. All the
time the game was in progress Ames
supporters had vision of real back
field from the University of Nebraska
which will invade State College field
next Saturday, the vision of the back
field being somewhat enhanced by q
duplicate vision of a really powerful

Ames Meets Nebraska Saturday.
Missouri Valley football VIII occupy
the attention of two of the three big
Iowa teams this week. Ames has the
stellar attraction in Nebraska, the
team which. Saturday crushed the
hopes of Notro Dame by d one point
margin. Drake meets Washington Uni
versity of ST, Louis, the latter being
the best team from the state, of Mis-
souri, this year. Ames has Nebraska
at fortunate time The Cornhuskers
have Just finished their most importont
game of the year. 1t is the game in
which the thought of the Nebraska
squad has been centered since the be-
ginning of the year. The mental
stimulus OF the thought that they are
preparing for hard game Is lacking
and Nebraska is liable to come to
Ames next Saturday a badly over
confident band. This is especially true
because of the showing Of Ames
against Missouri. Another factor is
that the Ames ends were especially
brilliant against Missouri which possi-
bly, spells trouble for Chamberlain but
the Ames line. unless there Is immedi-
ateIy and wonderful Improvement will

Rutherford, who met in the Notre
Dame line the. first forwards to stop
his plunges. Moss, if he kicks as well
as he did IN the Missouri game, will

The second critical battle of the
Iowa conference. probably the most
critical of tn, yeap from the stand
point of the fipaf titleholder, will be
staged al Grinnell with Coe as the OPP
ponent of tfe Presbyterians. Grinnell
took a bad beating at the hands OF ths
Carleton College squad SATURDAY. but
Carleton is far stronger team than
this year Both Coe and Grinnell viii
face the acG test as neither has d
state defeat to its discredit thus far.
ON form the Grinnell line is slated 70
outp!ay the Coe forwards, the Grinnell
backs are slated to drive the line with
great effect while the Coe ends and
back field Will outspeed the efforts of
Their opponents. The Coe quarter back
has the call over his Grinnell opponent
in agility anG generalship while the
scarlet and black squad has a little
bit the best of the blocking as far as
line play is considered. Coe probably
has the best blocking in open field dis
play. Augustine will have the better

Coe tackles better than Grinnell, are
