Neither side was: sure at critical points and heavy penalties 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- nell had twice fafled 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. Right Halfback Crowley and Full- back Worthwine were then sent around the ends on a series of runs and cross bucks to the one-yard line. Cornell falled to hold and Crowley went around left end for & touchdown. Page kicked the goal. Cornell returned with a vengeance in the Becond 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.

Bince the Tarklo game the purple and gold pleven has been kept busy in prepara~ tion for the final contest:of the season, which {a with Doage, Saturday, at Belle- vue. | The last week #crimmages have been Mght and most of the work has been in perfecting the sign: and plays. Several of the men have been recovering from in- Juries recelved in the last game. Owing to the radical change in the lineup it has been necessary to drill the men hard on signals, and a great deal of work s required to fill up the hole left full- back position by Enfleld, who is unable to play any more on account of an injured knee. With anothe week's work It is hoped that & strong machine . will. be moulde? into shape and will ‘be ready to meet the strong Doane team. So far Belle- vu undefeated and has an equal chance for unother champlonship season. Belle- vue wnd 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 wuniversity 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 declding the state Intercollegiate champlonship.

HAWKEYES TRAMP OVER AMES Towa University Plays in Finest Form of Season. OLD SCORES SETTLED, 16 TO 0 Defense of State University Eleven Superb and Ames Line Prove Sieve to Iowa's Dashing Backs. IOWA CITY, Ta., Nov. 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Playing fearless, aggressive foot ball from whistle to whistle, Iowa trampled its anclent rivals from Ames on Tows fleld today by the decisive score of 16 to 0, represented by three touchdowns, two of which were made in the first half and one In the second. Towa, displaying the form which tied Nebraska, outclassed the Aggies with a whirlwind irresistible attack. The Hawk- eyes swept the Aggles off thelr 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 Willilams' men made exactly twenty-three yards. During the contest Ames gained 119 yards against Iows, while the Hawk- eyes' total was 413 yards, The Iowa de- fense was the most powerful ever seen on Jowa fleld. Captain 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 Iowa. The helping spirit of the Iowa eleven made possible the long gains despite & muddy field and slippery ball. Playing in Perfect Form. The Iowa eleven, led by Quarterback Stewart, never made a fumble and the straight foot ball was varied by beautiful forward passes. Towa galned forty-four yards in five forward passes. The spread formations of the Hawkeyes completely bewildered the Aggles. Ames' line was $00 | 800n cut to shreds through the terrific at- tack of the Hawkeyes. Captain Wilmarthe was carried off the fleld unconscious in 38 | the middle of the second .half and Coach willlams was compelled to use several 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. Hazard was put in at full back, while Murphy was shifted to left half and made three first downs in five smashes just before the game closed with the ball in Towa'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 through & thirty-five yard gain, but lows held and Johnson falled in & p from the thirty-yard line. Towa's line was practically imp and Ehret and O'Brien often through to down the Ames' their tracs. The manner in whiel forwards opened up the tunnel in the Ames’ line made possible did smashing of the Hawkeyes. Murphy scored a touchdown in half after nineteen minutes of play, ing & splendid march of the Iowa A second touchdown was mads ten later in the same fashion, tackle interspersed with clever running plunging by Murphy, who was & touching it with his fingers, it rolled over the line, and he attempted to run it out, being downed by Murphy. Referee Connet ruled it a touchback and not a safety, ating that Heggen's touching the ball was not “impetus” within the meaning of the rule, Same in Second Half. In the second half lowa malntained its advantage and a third march carrled the ball from the middle of the field to the four yard line, where Alexander was shoved over-for the last score. Hyland kicked goal. With six minutes to play, the Hawkeyes were on the way to another touchdown when time was called. Captain Grop of the lowa team played the last fifteen minutes with a dislocated shoulder. TOWA. The lineup: AMES. .

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 18.—For the first time since 1907, the University of Pennsyl- vania foot ball team went down to defeat its conqueror belng the sturdy eleven of the University of Michigan.

IOWA FALLS, Is, Nov. 13.—(Special Telegram.)—In a high school game here today Ida Grove defeated Iowa Falls by the score of 8 to 0. The game was played on a water-soaked field, following ay rain of twenty-four hours, thus prevent- ing open plays. The visttors made a touch- down, a goal kick and a safety In the first half, but falled to score in the me ond half, playing more of a defensive game. Line smashing and punting charac- terized the game throughout. It was clean foot ball and, while the local team was defeated, it puts it in the front ranks among the school teams of the state, this being the first defeat this season and the second in two years. Rutledge of Dodge refereed and Smith of Hubbard umpired. The visiting team was heavier by several pounds to the man. M'COOK LAYS HOLDREGE OUT By Declsive Score of ® to 0 Former Wins Fast Game. M'COOK, Neb., Nov. 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—McCook High school foot ball team defeated Holdrege High school team here today by & score of § to 0. Fish's touel down, Campbell's drop kick and goal did the business for the local eleven. As both the Holdrege and Red Cloud High school teams refused to play the MoCook eleven, McCook now rightfull picn its . worthy eastern opponent and the vie- tory was well deserved. Michigan was a surprise to the support- ers 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 weight told on Penn- eylvania’s 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 A line play gained from the Quaker goal the line, before a 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 & great exhi- bition of how to carry the ball. Getting the pigskin on thelr own forty yard line on Miller's fumble, Michigan, by a series of plays directed carried it to Pennsylvania’ forty yard line. Then Magidsohn was entrusted with the ball, and on & fake formation he skirted the Pennsylvania right end, and with a clear fleld, ran for the forty yards for the second score. From this point it looked like Michigan's barring flukes and accidents, but usr in the half Pennsylvania showed somie pf its old time form. Recelving the ball on Michigan's forty yards line, the Pernsylvanians began to pound the Michi- n line. It was hard work, but, neverthe- the first downs were made by narrow wins, and finally they had the ball on Michigan five yard line. utchinson, who had been doing yeoman brk for Pennsylvania, was here given the I, and with & mighty push from his fel- we. he was forsed straight through center for Pennsylvania's only shdown.

IOWA CITY, Ta, Nov. 18.—(Special.)—De- #pite the fact that Towa has made an in- consistent showing in the present foot ball reason the students look for a ‘strong fin- i1sh when the team plays Kansas at Law- rence on November 20. Beginning the season with many handi- ®aps 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 inauspicious times from the point of team development. Missourl put the Iowans 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 week 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 dld 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 display of open play given In the sccond half of the Drake game was tounding to Iowa foot ball followe: Mixed with the powerful tackle smashes of Captain Gross and Fullback Murphy the bewildering formation saught by Coach Griffith 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 a 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 year's defeat, but will help land the title for a sister mstitution In this state—Drake university at Des Moines —providing the Christians ain from Mis- sourl ‘and Ames.

INTENSE Vietors Twice Penalised When Within Striking Distance of Goal ~——Orange and Black Loses Its Only Chance to Score. NEW HAVEN, Nov. 13.—Today at Yale field 35,000 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. almost at’ the outset-of play, using in the main its old fashioned pile driver tactics, 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 half came when a blocked punt of McCormick's mounted high behind the goal posts and after a serfes 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 serles of plunges. It looked ltke & touchdown and the Yale bleachers broke loose, only to sub- side 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 olec- trified by a series of brilliant runs by Sparks and it looked for a brief time as the Tiger had caught its second But a field goal by Coy, and a few moments after another touchdown for Yale after a series of flerce massed plays, finally chilled Princeton's hope.

Reforee: MADISON, Wis, Nov. 13.—~Minnesota clinched the Western conference foot ball championship today by decisively defeating Wisconsin by a score of 34 to 6. The Min- nesota team played one of the most bril- llant 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 Wiseon- sin held Minnesota and took the lead by 6 to b, 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 ran seventy-five yards for touchdowns. Anderson was the bright star for Wis- consin, while Moll, Culver and Wilce played good games. Minnesota scored a touchdown efter n twenty-two-yard run on an old-fashioned criss-cross by Stevens, who was laid out. Wisconsin later made a touchdown and Moll kicked goal. Score: Minnesota, §; Wisconsin, 6. Atkingon 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 a 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, and Stewart replaced Mohestad In this half. Drake Loses All Hope of Landing Valley Honors | Defeat by Missouri, 22 to 6, Leaves Title Yet Undecided Between Tigers and Kansas, COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. 13.—(Special Telo- gram.)—Missourl outclassed and decisively defeated Drake university's foot ball eleven on Rollins fleld this afterncon, shattering the Iowans' dreams of Missourl valley champlonship honors, by a score of 22 to 6. At no time was the Tiger goal threatened and Drake only scored by a 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 straight foot ball was used by either team, excepting one forward pass by Drake, which netted twenty yards. Purdy out- punted Hackney, but the Tigers excelled in returning punts. Missouri used the onside kick elght times, flve of which were suo- cesstul. The result of this game leaves the decision of the Missouri valley title de- pendent upon the outcome of the Missouri- Kansas game at Kansas City, Thanksgiving day. The lineup: MISSOURI—£2.
