AmEs CANCELS GAME
Grid Battle With Teachers College
Called Off Because Of Fear Of In.

gifts Following Arends' Death.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, Nov. 16.-Fear Of pos
sible infection of their squad with
spinal meningitis (the malady that
caused the recent death of Arnold
sArends,s teachers college tackle)
prompted Ames to ask cancellation of
the scheduled |Cyclone-P edagog grid.
iron clash at Ames Saturday. Ames'
request was granted and the teachers
will play no football this week.
That Ames' fear is unfounded is
believed by many here as every safe
guard and precaution was thrown
about the members of the football team
immediately following the development
OF AIends' malady. And every pos
sihle barking place Of infection was
thoroushly fumigated.
Cancellation of this weeks game
gives the teachers a long rest from
battle as last weeks scheduled gams
with Ellsworth was called off out of
courtesy to Arends, then on his death
bed However, this game is to be
played on College Field here Thanks
giving Day, according to announcement
by Coach Perrine today Arrange
nents for it were concluded yesterday.
III the meantime light practice is the
order and efforts will be made to ar
range game with some college for
Saturday, Nov. "a, if possible, to locate
one within reasonable distance from
Cedars Falls having that date open.
Such game would be good prepara-
ton for the turkey day battle with
Ellsworth the following week.
The pedagogs have won from Els
worth during the past two years and
hope to make it three in a row this
year. The annual clash between these
two schools is considered the most i'm
portant event Of the football season at
10th institutions. The rivalry for foot
ball supremacy is as keen as the grid
iron struggles of Ames versus Iowa,
and it is the one game either school
most likes to win. ....-.

Of that continual remanufacture Of the
