The Drake attack was Irresistible and (tie Blue and White backs, aided by su perb Interference, repeatedly skirted the Hlmpson ends and swept down the field tor lone galnj. The defense was near perfeot and the Methodist runners were almost invariably thrown back for a loss, Sells, of the Simpson back field, was able to penetrate the Drake defense.

The game, characterised by open field work and a vast amount of kicking, was one of the prettiest seen at the Stadium this year. Members of both teams eon' trlbuted brilliant bits of Individual work and the battle was marked by numerous sensational runs and much desperate tackling. As an Individual performer Qlenn Simons, the great Drake was easily the star of the afternoon. With the Blue and White attack built entirely ound him. dependent upon his wonder ful ability to carry the ball and to boot it, the former North High player performed In a manner that has not been equalled on the Drake field In many HAWKEYES DEVELOP Hawley Perfecting Team for the Later Games of the Season.

BV HKKRRRT M. HA WOOD. Wlien the Scarlet and Black foOtbah eleven from Orlnnell college trots onto the Drake 8tadlnm next Saturday aft ernoon, 'the players will form the ben physclally developed team to represent thst institution since The study Orlnnell players, Imbued' with all the usual Urlnnell spirit, will be keyed to a high pitch for this contest. They will be the most perfect from the strict physlclal standpoint of any toot- ball machine developed st'Orlnnsll In the last necade and a half. If they know enough football Drake will hav Us hands full.

The proteges of Coach Brown have the right weight, height and general build for their positions with the possible exception of one tackle. The excellent pro. portion of the eleven parts of the football machine -will be a subject of comment, according to local officials who. have seen the Orlnnell team in action. Sutherland, the Orlnnell fullback, will, do the punting for his team.

He Is said to be ths best to appear at the Stadium this year with the exception of the Washington university kicker. This of course also excepts Drake's own klcket, Simons, who held his own with the mighty Delaney of Kansas. Sutherland Is conaldered a first class man in his position and he la relied upon to be one of the Orlnnell stars when the old time rivals clash next Saturday at the Sia-dlum. 1 I Will 'next Saturday find Ames suffering from the reaction of the -Nebraska game and with Its eyes aimed only at Iowa on the 18th? This Is uppermost in the minds of those who are trying to dope the" Ames-Cornell game' which iwlll be played at Ames next week. Many per-' sons consider that Cornell has the ohsnce of Its life to duplicate Its feat of whipping Iowa by defeating tha Agglea on the off Saturday.

Ames played Its before Nebraska yesterday for that was a most orltlcat game in the Missouri Valley championship race. The, ancient enmity agalnat- the state university will cause all effort to be centered In the Iowa game tha minute the worry over, the Cornhuskers passed. Can Cornell take advantage of this opportunity? 4 -5-, -4- 7- Iowa's poor showing against Morning side and.Cornoll has been' taken se rlously, say state university alumni. Many of, the enthusiasts have fulled ti take Into account that Hawley develops -his team slowly. He spends weeks and weeks over the rudiments.

He expects? no large scores at the beginning of ihn season. He represents the eastern type of football development. Furthermore, he Intends to follow that system to the letter, despite any criticism. If he had spent the Hrst weeks of thi season practicing formations almost ex- cltislvely Instead of drilling the candidates day In and day out with tackling, years. Slmuns Star Performer.

He was a perfect whirlwind on the offense and defense. There was no department of the game In which he did not excel. Entering the game In the second quarter after Drake had failed to score In the first he quickly made his presence felt. Alternately dashing around tlie-ends for long gains and booting the -fhs'H far down the Held, or shooting the forward pass with unerring acouracy to the Drake ends, be changed the entire complexion of the game and within Ave 1 minutes after hla appearance In the line-i up Folks- was pushed over goal tine I for the first Simons' work yesterday stamp him as one of the greatest players ever developed on an Iowa gridiron and probably In the west. Time after time he swept around the Simpson ends with the ball gripped tightly In his right hand, straight armed tackier after tackier, and reeled off from fifteen to forty yards before biqught down.

Once, unaided by Interference, he ran forty yards through the entire Simpson for a touchdown.

The final score was 20 to 3, and two of Des Molpes' three touchdowns resulted from fluke plays and the resultant long runs without opposltidn by Williams and Townsend. Ottumwa's only score was made when' Gallagher made a brilliant drop kick from the twenty-eight yard line.

Both teams used the forward pass for good gains. The Baptists were weak on ofenae and tha Methodists' goal was never In danger. Davis outpunted Holbort and his kicking kept the scoring down.

HTEVEXKOX. (Staff Representative.) AMES, Nov. 4. Special: In one of the greatest games ever contested In the Missouri valley, Ames tied Nebraska here today, 8 to 6. Nebraska scored almost before the crowds realized that the game was on.

Ames made their first place kick a minute later and then rushed the ball to the thirty yard line for a second before the stands had re gained their breath. From that time on It was a battle. Ames, with the score a tie, shot them selves Into their charges like catapultH. Nebraska, a better physical team, came buck as strong. Purdy, the star of the Nebraska backfleld, ripped off a tn and twenty yard gain.

Harte, the best man of the Ames team, answered with an equal amount. Nebraska, battling like to reach the last white line of the Aggie field, shot themselves against ths Ames line and ends for scant gains. Ames, holding for downs, gained tJia distance back again when their fleet ends nailed the Nebraska catcher of punts In his tracks. Many times the Nebraska man failed to hold the- ball and Ames always profited by these mistakes. The result of the game was a distinct surprise to the followers of the two teums.

Nebraska, accounted an easy winner, accepted the defoat. grimly. Ames, expecting defeat, went wild when the umpire's horn announced the end of the stubborn battle. The Ames men surprixed thuir friends with their showing of fight and football. Their back-field, supposed to he the weak part of their machine, showed equal to the stars of the Nehrackans.

Their line, not ths equal of the Nehraskans' yielded yards grudgingly. Their ends, the real point of the Nebraska attack, gave gr ound but sllghtlv, but more than made for this In their work In perfecting the kinking of Burge. Nebraska had one man who was almost equal to the emergency. This was Purdy. Entering the game after it started, he wiis the stsr of the visiting team.

The men undoubtedly entered the iprclimi-nary games feeling something like I like varsity did Wednesday evening? when the freshmen eleven scored three straight touchdowns and the yarslty plalng hard could not count. The night (Kfoie the varsity players, had been drltl-' fd tremendously hard. Ordinarily they ould trim the first year men 90 to a.

Last season the Iowa team was one of the best exponents of Hits department In middle west. It Is ev- pected by the Iowa supporters that Purdue, Ames and Northwestern will have a chance to find this out In the next three weeks. These games will soon prove whetbse Hawley has been mis judged by critics.

The showing aaalnst Minnesota. and Wisconsin demonstrated that- Hawley's eleven had accomplished wonders despite the injury to Curry. The Twin City football "fans" have not recovered from the shock of two wonderful drop kloks executed by O'Brien, rwhotte name muy go down alongside Pat O'Dea In football annals. Potlljohn, the former all-western end, devoted many paragraphs to praising Iowa In his etory of the game printed In a Pnul newspaper.
