HUSKERS FEAR THE AGGTES
Ames Team Has Provoking Way of
Playing Best Against the Ne
braska Squad.
PLAY AT AMEs NEXT SATURDAY
BY JAMES e. LAWRENCE.

BY JAMES e. LAWRENCE.
LINCOLN, Oct. 23-(Special. Ne
braskas first game away from home,
with the Ames Aggies at Ames next
Saturday, will be one of the two crucial
battles for the Missouri Valley confer
ence championship. Jumbo Stiehm's
Huskers are not going to bump into any
soft snap. for the Aggies will present a
lineup which includes nine out of eleven
veterans. two of whom were selected for
All-Missouri valley honors.
In addition, the miracle man" of east
ern foot ball, Mayser the former Wash
ington and jefferson star and tutor Is
at the helm at Ames. Mayser Is eX-
pected to put the finish on the wonder
full material which Ames has with which
to deliver the winning punch. He was I'm
charge as coach OF the wonderful Wash
ington and jefferson eleven of 1914
which. although 1t had a student body
of but 600 to draw from, pummeled the
Yale bulldog" and fought old John
Harvard to a standstill and tie score.
GOphers Are Strong.
Ames' early season defeat at the hands
Of Minnesota is not taken seriously in
the Cornhusker camp. DR.. Williams is
said to have the greatest team at Mime
sofa in years. while Ames went into the
battle with four veterans badly crippled
Several times the Aggies carried the ball
within the shadow of the Minnesota goal
only to fail with the necessary punch
to carry 1t over, while the Gophers were
fortunate in the use OF the forward
pass,
Ames has had a provoking habit of
playing its best foot ball against the
Huskers. The Aggies have sent more
cold thrills down the spines of Nebraska
rooters since Jumbo Stiehm took charge
Of athletics at the Husker institution
than any other Missouri valley opponent.
Keeling off touchdown in the first
quarter last year, the Aggies had the
Cornhusker rooters in tears until the
final quarter, when a marvellous Ne
braska offense was uncovered and four
touchdowns ripped off in rapid success
sion. Ames had no substitutes to re-
place the battered regulars and undoubt-
eddy lost for lack Of first string men.
Huskera Their Goal.
Coach Mayser Is pointing his men for
the Nebraska game and figures that a
victory over the Huskers will be honor
enough for one season. The Iowa school
will make the Nebraska game home
coming day. and also the official OPEN
ing OF the new stadium which Ames
went to great expense to construct Sew
eral hundred Ames alumni will be on
hand to aid with awe-inspiring roofing
in defeating the Huskers.
Nebraska's eleven will also have some
vocal support, for Reed has been In
formed that a big excursion will ac-
company the team east. Several hun
bred Nebraskans will journey to Ames
and the band will be taken along to
help out in the noise.

Big WRESTLING MATCH NEXT
Omaha Fans Expect Stecher Will
Meet Tough Opposition in
Americas.
SPECIAL TRAIN FROM HERE

That Joe Stecher will encounter the
toughest opposition OF his career when
he attempts TO pin the shoulders Of one
Americas TO the mat In Lincoln Thurs
day. Is the Judgment OF Omaha wrestling
fans who are planning TO take the trip
to the Capital City to witness the event.
Americas Is somewhat OF a different
proposition from the Erapplers Stecher
has met and defeated. Charley Cutler and
Adolph Ernst are probably the best two
men the Dodge phcnom has dumped and
the Baltimore chap IN regarded az the
superior OF these two vendulshed mat
artists The Omaha fans are confident
that Stecher will put the finishing touches
10 Americas but they anticipate a hard
combat before the feat ls accomplished
Americas Is said to be the son of a
millionaire Boston contractor and hts
career has all the touches OF romance. He
first entered as an amateur. but found
that class too limited for him He then
became light heavyweight and quickly
won honors In that division ny heaving
Freddie Beell twice In less than seven
minutes. or late he has taken ON weight
and even tops the scales at a higher
roundaSe than Stecher.
Fast ms Lightning.
He ls fast as lightning and he has a
thorough knowledge OF the game. Joe
will not find Amerlcus falling into any
traps and the Dodge youth will also very
likely discover that Americas will have
little better defense for the scissors hold
than had Ernst. Cutler ct al.
The Omaha delegation will go 20 Lin
coin on special train over the Burling-
/ ton Thursday evening. The special will
return directly after the conclusion OF
the match. Ringslde seats for the event
are on sale at the Merchants hotel and
include the best seats in the Lincoln
Auditorium They range from % TO 81.
Gene Melady and Dan Gaines are the men
promoting the special train from Omaha.

Miss Marguerite Brack of San Fran
cisco, champion girl swimmer Of the
Pacific coast. Is In New York to spend
the winter. and will take part in most OF
the seasons indoor meets.
Her appearance in competition Will be
watched with interest. Although her best
sprinting performances do not compare
favorably with those of Miss Olga Dorf-
ner OF Philadelphia the American record
holder. she has to her credit a quarter
mile mark of 7;O5. which brands her as a
most dangerous rival at the distance to

The presence OF Miss Brack in the i'm

Donna Leah sank in a heap on
the ground.
A murmur of approval spread
through the chamber, for this lovely
young thing had aroused sympathy
in the breasts of even her enemies.

dom,' continued the judge, "but you
will have to live your life in an

and advanced to the tribunal.

until the large council-chamber
vibrated with the sound. A pause
followed, then young woman,
shrinking from the brutal touch of
the man who had gone to fetch her,
was dragged forward and stood be-.
fore the stern tribunal.
Murmurs ran through the place
of beautiful p $50 youngv' "A
mother!' and some a little more
daring, whispered "What a pity!'
Donna Leah braced herself and
stood her ground firmly, clasping
her baby tightly in her arms.
"You are guilty of participating
in unlawful, religious services in un-
derground caverns. Speak, woman;
defend yourself if you can!"
The woman looked up. She had
faith in God, but suddenly her eyes
rested on her questioner, shiver
shook her young frame and hope
died from her eyes. Before her sat
the man who had several years be-
fore prosecuted her young life with
his attentions. He had said that he
wanted to marry her, but she had
known him for what he was.
1--WE can never marry" Leah had
gently answered. "You are Catho-
lie and I am a Jewess."
"But," urged the persistent sutton,

tered, and pushing the girl rudely
aside, he cried through his clinched
teeth: "I'll be revenged."
All this had happened several
years before. Leah did love another,
and he was a Jew, man of high
principles. Her father seeing no
reason to object, the pair were mar
ried and lived happily for two years.
A baby boy graced their union, and
Leah's heart was divided between
her husband and the baby.
Then came the persecution of
such Jews as had ostensibly en-
braced Catholicism but secretly
chung to the beliefs, rights and cere-
monies of their ancient faith. Of
these there were many thousands
scattered through Spain and were
known under the name "Maranos."

her face. Had she heard Alright?
"You said," she piteously asked,
that l might go?"
"You are free, but we demand
your child for the church,"
ooh no, no, no." walled the un-
happy mother, "you shan't take him
from me! you daren't; you can't"
She frightened her grip on the baby.
The judge left his chair and
walked to the woman's side. Bend
ing over the baby, whispered loud
enough for Leah to hear: "Give up
the child to me. Go to my home
and I'll see that you'll get him
back. l love you more than ever.
Your beauty intoxicates me. We
can still be happy together"
Donna LEANS brain was working
quickly. Her wits were sharpened,
for she was fighting a battle for her
child's sake.
She smiled on her prosecutor and
whispered in return: "Go back to
your place. I'll do as you say
The judge turned to take his seat.
Every eye was on him. In fact, all
had wondered what this high and
mighty stern man could have to say
to an outcast. Leah took advantage
of the moment to make a dash for
the door. She tripped the guard at
the entrance and in the confusion
that followed, escaped with her
child.
