Neither side was. sure at critical points and heavy penaities lost Cornell two chances of scoring, while twice, with a touchdown in sight, its right guard, O'Con- nor, was Instructed to try goals from the fleld. Twice also Chicago held pluckily for downs In dangerous territory. After Cor- mell had twice falled to cross the Maroon goal line in the first half Chicago took the ball on Cornell's fifty-three-yard line and pulled off the feature pass of the game. Page, at quarter, hurled the ball high to Sauer at left end, who ran to Cornell's nineteen-yard line before he was downed.

Cornell failed to hold and Crowley went around left end for a touchdown. Page kicked the goal. Cornell returned with a vengeance in the #econd half. Owen kicked off and recov- ered the ball again on the thirty-seven- yard line. Simson and Robb plunged through the line for big gains.

Belle- vue and Doane have always been strong rivals and this year many reports have been heard about Doane’s strong team. Its strongest opponents have been Nebraska university and Hastings, but if compara- tive scores count for anything In showing the strength of a team, Bellevue will be right in the game. Bellevue and Doane played tie games with both Hastings and Wesleyan, and It looks as if the Bellevue-Doane game will be the big contest of the season in deciding the state intercollegiate champlonship. _BOAT OMAHA WINS EDHOLM CUP Winfield Schoot and Walter Wharton Owners of Vietorious Craft.

OLD SCORES SETTLED, 16 TO 0 Defense of State University Superb and Ames Line Proves Sieve to Iowa's Dashing Backs. Eleven TOWA CITY, Ta., Nov. 18.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Playing fearless, aggressive foot ball from whistle to whistle, Iowa trampled its ancient rivals from Ames on Towa fleld today by the decisive acore of 16 to 0, represented by thres touchdowns, two of which were made in the first half and one in the second. Tows, displaying the form which tied Nebraska, outclassed the Aggies with a whirlwind Irresistible attack. The Hawk- eyes swept the Aggles off their feet and tore the heavy Ames line to shreds. When Ames had the ball the Iowa line was a stone wall and in the first half Coach Willlams' men made exactly twenty-three yards. During the contest Ames gained 119 yards against Iows, while the Hawk- eyes' total was 418 yards, The Iowa de- fense was the most powerful ever seen on | Jowa fleld. Captaln Gross and Alexander gained ground repeatedly on the tackle smashes, while the line plunges of Full- back Murphy and the end running and forward passings of Hyland and Hanlon passed many chalk lnes for Jowa. Th helplog spirit of the Iowa eleven made possible the long gains despite s muddy field and slippery ball. Playi in Perfect Form. The Iowa eleven, led by Quarterbaock Stewart, never made a fumble and the straight foot ball was varied by beautiful forward passes. lowa galned forty-four yards in five forward passes. The spread formations of the Hawkeyes completely bewildered the Aggles. Ames' line was soon cut to shreds through the terrific at- tack of the Hawkeyes. Captaln Wilmarthe was carried off the field unconsclous in the middle of the second .half and Coach willlams was compelled to use sevoral substitutes. Coach Griffith sent In two new bacs in the closing minutes of the game to save Collins and Dyer, his two half backs for the Kansas game. Hasard was put in at full back, while on Forward Pass. Murphy was shifted to left half and made three first downs in five smashes just before the game closed with the ball in Jowa's possession on Ames thirty-five-yard lne. Ames' one rally came In the middle of the second half. Haggen made ten yards on & quarterback run and Throeger broke J through a thirty-five yard galn, but lowe, held and Johnson falled In a pla from the thirty-yard line. i Towa's line was practically impry and BEhret and O'Brien often | through to down the Ames' runy thelr tracs.

It was Michi- gan's fifth attempt to win a game from its - worthy eastern opponent and the vie- tory was well deserved. Michigan was a surprise to the support- Lers of Pennsylvania and other eastern fol- lowers of the game, who came here to see the east clash wtih the west. The western men were superior in welght and other respects to the eastern players and In team work they moved with a precision that showed carefu! preparation and gen- eralship. The same cannot be said of Penn. sylvania. The home players, without de- tracting from the visitors, put up & poor exhibition of foot ball. Michigan's superior welght told on Penn- sylvan light line, the Wolverines hav- ing Jittle trouble in plercing the Quaker formation on all sides of the line. Pennsylvania made ten changes In the lineup, while Michigan was compelled to send in but one substitute. Michigan sccred the first touchdown within two minutes after the game started rBaddock for Pennsylvania, in running back the kickoff, fumbled and a fleet Michigan end fell on the ball thirty yards from the Quaker goal. A line play gained ten yards and then Allerdice shot a for- ward pass to Magidsohn, who was across the line, before & Pennsylvania man could lay hands on him. Second Touchdown. The second touchdown came soon after and was earned by hard playing in which the heavy Michigan men gave a great exhi- bition of how to carry the ball. Getting the pigskin on their own forty yard line on Miller's fumble, Michigan, by a series of plays directed against the line and ends, carried it to Pennsylvania's forty yard line. Then Magidsohn was entrusted with the ball, and on a fake formation he skirted the Pennsylvania right end, and with a clear score. From this point it looked like Michigan's ¥ame, barring flukes and accldents, but Gr in the half Pennsylvania showed athleJ Sorie of its old time form. Recelving the to thyball on Michigan's forty yards line the Pernsylvanians began to pound the Michi- crowds 10 line.

IOWA CITY, Ia., Nov. 18.—(Special)—De- |#pite the fact that lowa has made an in- consistent showing in the present foot ball reason the students look for a ‘strong fin- ish when the team plays Kansas at Law- rence on November 20. Beginning the season with many handi 2aps Coach John ‘Griffith has developed a team that knows foot' ball in the face of many handicaps. To start with the Hawk- eyes had the hardest schedule that could | |be devised. Not only did the team meet the best elevens, but it met them at most inzuspleious times from the point of team development. Missouri put the Jowans out of the Mis- sourl valley running by one point. The Tigers played subs, but the Hawkeyes were plainly in a lethargy most of the contest. A k later Drake, the coming light in the new conference, took another wallop at the Hawkeyes and eliminated them from state honors. But the Iowa eleven, possessed of a knowledge that it is one of the most pow- erful machines in the middle west for a part of every game, is trying to pull to- gether as it Qid against Nebraska and triumph over the Jayhawkers in the final game of one of the most aggravating schedules ever played by an Iowa team. the The display of open play given in sccond half of the Drake game was tounding to Iowa foot ball followes Mixed with the powerful tackle smashes of Captaln Gross and Fullback Murphy the bewlldering formation waught by Coach Gritfith were wonderfully effective. The spurts in the Missourl game, though for shorter Intervals, revealed the latent power of the Hawkeye scoring machine. To instill a fighting spirit that will carry victory to the Iowa eleven in the closing act of & schedule which has been a tragedy is the ambition of the coaches. By putting Kansas out of the Missourl valley cham- plonship the Hawkeyes will not only avenge last years defeat, but will help land the title for a sister mstitution in this state—Drake university at Des Moines —providing the Christians avin from Mis- sourl -and Ames. VIRGINIA BALL PLAYER INJURED Announcement Made that He Slight Chance of Recovery. WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 Archibald Christian of Richmond, Va., left halfback of the foot ball team of the University of Virginia, was dangerously injured in the last half of the game with Georgetown university here this afternocon. After & careful examination of Christian’s injuries it was announced that his condition was oritical and but slight hope was eater- talned for his recovery, s MANY INTENSE PRINCETON FAILS TO SCORE Thirty-Five Thousand Persons See Spectacular Game at Yale. CLIMAXES Vietors Twice Penalized When Within Striking Distance of Goal ~—Orange and Black Loses Its Only Chance to Score. NEW HAVEN,.Nov. 13.—Today at Yale fleld 85,000 spectators witnessed per- haps the most spectacular exhibition of pure foot ball of the up-to-date type ever seen In a game between the old rivals, Yale and Princeton. Yale won by a score of 17 to 0. The game had intense climaxes. Yale, almost at the outset of play, using in the main its old fashioned pile driver tuctics, took the ball steadily down the field only to be penalized when within striking distance of- Princeton's goal. But the two most Interesting crises of the first halt came when a blocked punt of McCormick's mounted high behind the goal posts and after a series of spec- tacular fumbles, settled under a Prince- ton player, scoring a safety for Yale; and when soon after a second blocked punt fell also close to the goal post of Princeton, who this time lost the ball to Lilley. Yales' tackle, and with the goal kicked, an added six went up to Yale's credit on the score board. The seconds half also had its in- tense moments. One came when after an exchange of punts and a forward pass Yale got within striking distance of the Princeton goal and took the ball over in a series of plunges. It looked Itke a touchdown and the Yale bleachers broke loose, only to sub- slde Into a pathetic stillness when the team was called back for off side play. It was in this mid-time of the second half that Princeton's cheerers were elec- trified by a series of brilliant runs by Sparks and it looked for & brief time as though the Tiger had caught its second wind. But a fleld goal by Coy, and a few moments - after another touchdown for Yale after a series of flerce massed plays, finally chilled Princeton's hope. The lineup: PRINCETON.

The Min- nesota team played one of the most bril~ liant and successful games ever seen on a western gridiron. The powerful and varie- gated attack of Minnesota proved too much for Wisconsin at all stages of the game. For a short time in the first half Wiscon- sin held Minnesota and took the lead by 6 to 5, after Minnesota had scored the first touchdown. As the game grew older the Minnesota offense appeared to increase in power and simply tore the Wisconsin line to pleces. In the last ten minutes of the game Pickering and Rosenwald each smashed through the Wisconsin line and seventy-five yards for touchdowns. Anderson was the bright star for Wis- consin, while Moll, Culver and Wileo played good games. Minnesota scored a touchdown efter a twenty-two-yard run on an old-fashioned criss-cross by Stevens, who was lald out. Wisconsin later made a touchdown and Moll kicked goal. Score: Minnesota, §; ‘Wisconsin, 6. Atkinson replaced Pettijohn at quarter- back for Minnesota In the first half. Both teams played a hard, consistent game and there was little punting. Score at end of first half: Minnesota, 11; Wisconsin, 6. In the second half Minnesota played o whirlwind game, making four touchdowns in the half. ‘Wisconsin was unable to withstand the rushes of Pickering and Rosenwald, who repeatedly smashed the line of the oppos- Ing team with telling effect. Pickering made two long runs In this half, carrying the ball once for a gain of seventy-five yards and a touchdown. Ostrund replaced Powers at right guard for Wisconsin and Schain went In for Vidal d Stewart replaced Mohestad In this half.

At no time was. the Tiger goal threatened and Drake only scored by & lucky recovery of a fumbled onside kick from Missouri's thirty-five yard line. Purdy and Burcham starred for Drake, while the work of Deatherage, Bluck and Alexander featured Missouri's play. Only sivalght foot ball was used by either team, excepting one fqrward pass by Drake, which netted twenty yards. Purdy out- punted Hackney, but the Tigers excelled In returning punts. Missourl used the onside kick elght times, five of which were suo- cessful.
