AL FI0R| STAGES
GREAT SHOW AT
COUNCIL BLUFFS
three Wrestling Matches and
a Four-Round Boxing Bout
Received Fine Wei
come From Fans.

Promoter All Fiori of Council
Bluffs kept his word and staged one
of the greatest shows ever witnessed
in Iowa, presenting three wrestling
matches instead Of the two adver.
tised, and a thrilling four-round
boxing match that took the house by
storm and brought forth volumes oi
applause.
The poening event was a IS min.
ute match between Young Gotch
and Young Norris, 4 quarter of an
hour of the finest kind ,of wrestling
The men were fast and exceptions
ally clever.
The second number on the pro-
gram was a one-fall finish match
between Fred Mortenson, the Ter
rible Dane, and Johnny Ritclie,
substituting for Tom Ray, who has
an injured ear and was unable to
appear. Ritchie gave Mortenson a
great tussle, but finally succumbed
to the Dane in u minutes.
11anSen DdCkS OuC.
The main event of the wrestling
program was billed as a match be-
tween Charley Peters and Charles
Hansen. For some unknown reason
Hansen failed to show up and
Walter Thompson volunteered to
fill in, taking the match on just a
moments notice and was forced to
borrow togs in which to work. He
gave Peters great bout, but was
beaten two straight falls, the first
in. % minutes, S. seconds. and the
second in seven minutes, 18 seconds.
The final event was four-round
baking match between Billy Uvick
and Harry Williams. 1t had been
rumored that it would be nothing
but mere exhibition, before the
bout, but none who saw the affair
will say so now. They were at it
hammer and tongs, from bell to
bell. Uvick, in his peculiar she'll,
probably blocked more blows than
did Williams, the blows landed were
about even and it could hurt neither
to call it a good draw. As a mat
ter of fact, it was virtual victory
for each man. Williams, for the
reason that he showed he could
handle himself against old, expe
rienced men in the game and for
Uvick, because it was thought that
his day as a successful scraper had
passed.
Showed Old Stuff.
In the bout with Williams, Uvick
showed the fans that he still had
his old stuff and with his added
weight, was a much more powerful
puncher than when he was fighting
middleweights. Williams practical
ly stepped into the ring from an
automobile, in which he made trip
of over 100 miles since Friday night,
but he gamely went through with
the bout and though weak in the
legs, gave Uvick good battle.

is all of us are sticking pretty regu-
larly to the game all winter by brav-

The winter, too, is great time to
view your own game in retrospect

If you could only get outdoors to

we are paying our debt to their
founders.

Michigan Snatches
Victory From Game
Apparently Gone

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. lin one
of the greatest last-period rallies
ever seen on, Ferry field, Michigan
snatched victory from Northwest
ern's foot ball eleven this afternoon,
Is to Is.
Held scoreless in the first two
periods and allowed only safety
in the third, Michigan opened up in
the final session, and playing like
mad, put over two touchdowns in
quick succession. The first came
when Captain Goetz Hooked punt
from behind the Northwestern goal
line and Gordon Dunn fell on it
back of the line. Sparks scored the
other by blufing a run around left
end and suddenly switching to the
right extremity. Sparks kicked both
goals.
Northwestern scored in the OPEN
ing period on a forward pass and a
20-yard sprint by Barnard. A series
of end runs and line plunges that
carried the ball to Michigan's one
yard line paved the way to the Wis
itors' other touchdown, in the third
period.

Princeton, N. J., Nov l.-West
Virginia university defeated PriRce-
ton, 27 to 0, in a game largely fea-
tured by the brilliant individual work
Fof Captain Rodgers of the Noun
taineers. The Tigers were helpless
against the fierce attacks of the big
fullback and were unable to cope il
any way with the many clever for
ward passes which he started.
Despite the fact that the game was
played in a driving rain, the victors
early resorted to forward passing,
which they worked throughout the
contest with singular success. Rodg-
ers was on the hurting end of most
of the tosses and did fully three
fourths of the work in the first two
periods. j Near-the close of the Sec
ond period he was injured and was
forced to retire. He came back
strongly in the last period and
hurled the forward pass that result
ed in West Virginia's last score.

and did not open up with its best
trick, the forward pass, until the
third quarter. Then the Badgers

long gains, only to be checked
when other throws were intercepted

Penn State Stops Scoring
Machine of PENNSYLVANIA

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-After play
ing a whirlwind game all season and
piling UP more points than any 9TH
er team in the east, the University
of Pennsylvania went down to de-
feat today before the eleven of
Pennsylvania State college, by the
score of 10 to 0. Rain fell through
out the game. The playing field was
soggy and the ball slippery.
Pennsylvania started out as
though its steam roller would crush
the State college boys, but after out
playing the visitors and failing to
score after at least two excellent op-
'portunities in the first period, had a
reversal of form. After that, with
one exception, States goal line was
never in serious danger.
