TITLE HINGES ON
GAME WITH AMES
Victory for Cornhuskers Will
Give Them Championship
of Missouri Valley.
Galley GOES IN AT CENTER
BY JAMES E. LAWRENCE.

Lincoln, Oct. 2S.-(Special)-
Missouri Valley title hinges on the
outcome of the battle next Saturday
afternoon on Nebraska field between
the Huskers and the Ames Aggies.
Ames, by its decisive defeat of Kan
sas and tie score with Missouri, has
demonstrated its right to dispute the
championship claims of the Huskers.
Should DR.. Stewards proteges sue
coed in trouncing the scrappy eleven
developed by Coach Mayser, Husker
claims for sixth consecutive cham
pionship would be recognized
throughout the valley.
DR.. Stewart had no sooner bounced
off the train from Portland before he
instituted a radical shakeup in his
lineup to plug the hole occasioned by
injuries to Moser, the lanky CENTER
in the Oregon Aggie game.
Galley at Center.
Galley, the lightest and one of the
feetest men on the squad, for two
years quarterback and halfback, and
in that capacity field general, was
shifted to center He will follow the
new system of passing the ball d.
rectly to the runner, after calling sig-
nails from center, and will follow in
the interference as a safety against
fumbles. It's a decided innovation to
see a man weighing less than 1901
pounds in the pivotical position on
the line, but DR.. Stewart had demon
strated that he has stonewall de-
Tense and the rooters are not greatly
worried over the change. Should Ca.
ley prove unadapted to center, then
DR.. Stewart has Cameron, a splendid
center, to take his place.
Captain Corey's work at end was
such in the Oregon game as to
strongly recommend that he be left
in wing position. The Husker cap
tain proved just as effective on de-
Tense as offense and was especially
brilliant in forward passing. Rhodes,
who started the season as backheld
man, has apparently found a position
at tackle in the place vacated by Co.
rey, while Dobson, whose punting and
defensive work were big feature of
the Oregon game, is fixture in the
backfeld.
Stiff Week Ahead.
The coming week will see the stiff
est preparation of the season in an
of smashing battle with
the Annes warriors. Coach Mayser
has apparently developed the strong
est team representing the Aggies i'll
the last six years. In weight the
Huskers will have a decided ad-
vantage. both on the line and in the
backfield but Ames boasts of an at
tack which Jugs a punch, while the
two ends have been able to smother
any attempts to circle the Aggies'
wings. 1t is practically veteran or
ganization which is representing
Ames. The Aggies had Nebraska
whipped last year until the final quar-
ter, wher Coach Stiehm turned the
tide of battle by sending in a fresh
array of players.
For the first time this year the
Huskers expect to face a team which
has demonstrated its ability to play
the open game Owing to the con-
slant changes and the new style OF
play the Huskers have been retarded
in rounding into full speed, but by
next Saturday Nebraska should be in
shape to offer its full strength
Jimmy Gardiner the former Omaha
High school star, has little score
to settle with Aldrich, the fleet-footed
backfield star Of the Aggies. Aldrich
as a Sioux City High school PLAYER
