Nlpher then kicked back to Simons who came back to the center of the field.

Warren slipped through for two varri. hot Crul failed to find the soft spot In the opposing line and Simons punted the ball over the visitor's goal line. The St. Louis players kicked out from their twenty-five yard line, and Carlson saved the ball on Simons' fumble. "Lolie" Crull shot through for half of a first down.

Simons tossed the ball over the mob to Colvllle who made the stands rise to their feet with a run of thirty yards across the St. Louis school.s goal line. When Simons kicked the goal, tying the score, the Drake section went wild and sent the strains of "A Hot Time" out across the cold field. Nelson Returns Fifteen. 'Nelson took the klckoff on his fifteen yard line and beat It back for fifteen.

Slhler made another seven and Nelson topped it off with one yard. The kick went to Simons, who ran back ten yards, and on being tackled tossed the pigskin to Warren, who reeled off another twenty yards on the return. Drake booted to Falvey, who was stopped on the visitors' four yard line, but the referee called the play back and the next kick went outside on the fifteen yard line. Nelson made a fierce smash for nine yards, but his left half failed to do anything on the other yard add was forcea to punt. This was high twister and Warren got It In good style but lost five yards by trying to un back to escape Perrlngs.

Another punt left the bail on Washington's thirty-five yard mark and the onartar for the visitors got four yards and the big full took another three. As iiKiinl Nlnher was forced to boot back and Warren duplicated his former play, losing five yards again. Drake kicked Immediately and Slhler ran the end for fifteen yarda, but on trying again to do the same stunt was downed for a loss. Here Griffith sent Carpenter In for Swede Carlson at the right wing. Nioher was laid out, but got up again and made a good kick to Warren on Drake's thirty yard mark to wnicn Bunny added fifteen by a clever dodging exhibition.

Simons got off a long low boot to Nlpher and the visitor was thrown back. Again the old punt came down to Warren and this time the visitors grabbed an onslde kick and Nelson took time out after one yard gain. Warren Gets High One. Bootlne another high one to Warren the St. Louis half allowed only a five yard return.

Drake hoofed the leather back and received the same treatment in return. Burcham went in for reme at right half and immediately made good by falling on Nelson rurnme, Drake tried the right end with no iuck and Crull met the same fate on a line smash. Falvey took Slmdns punt on the fifteen yard line and Nlpher booted outside fifteen yards further down. Drake made two yards through tackle, but lost five for offside. Simons tried a place kick from the fojity-seven yard line but could not make and Drake also lost ruteen yarns on a penalty at this point.

The ball was on Washington's fifty yard mark, ana Simons kicked to Nlpher with only a five yard return. Slhler and Nelson got two yards apiece on line bucks, and War ren fell on the visitors punt. Drake kicked back and Nlpher, failing on a smash, kicked to Warren on Drake's thirty-five j'ard line, and suffered a pretty return of twenty yards. A forward pass to Carpenter failed, and the game ended with the ball In Drake's possession on Washington's thirty yard line. 1 BALL CLUB CHANGES HANDS Sioux City Franchise Bought by Un- known Parties.

CINCH VALLEY TITLE Nebraska Completely Outplayed Opponents and Showed Great Form. LAWRENCE. Nov. 18. Unable to stand before the heavy line plunges of the northerns, Kansas lost to Nebraska by a score of 29 to 0 on McCook field today and the Missouri valley championship was safely annexed by Coacn Stelhm's eleven.

Beginning with ft touchdown by O. Frank after seveiLrtfnuteS of play, the Nebraskans playlnd confidently crossed the Kansas goiLl five times. I Delaney, whose kicking has wn two games this season (for Kansas, wVs far below standard. Frank and Warner were the stars for Nebraska, the former making two of the touchdowns. In the first quarter Una plunges by Nebraska gave the Cornhuslt-ers their first touchdown and a twenty-five yard run by O.

Frank and a forward pass by Warner added a second. Two runs of thirty yards by O. Frank at the beginning of the second period and a forward, pass gave Nebraska a third score. Deianey failed twice at drop kicking and E. Frank's sixty yard run made the score 23 to 0.

Nebraska failed to kick the goal. The third quarter was a monotonous exchange of punts. Neither side showed any advantage. Kansas started off the last period with a rush but on long runs by O. Frank, Potter and Purdy, Nebraska scored her fifth touchdown.

W. Law, Indians, WASHINGTON HOLDS BULLDOGS TO TIE CONTINUED FROM PRECEDING PAGE yards around the wings. The opposing ends were fast on going down tfnder punts and few returns of over ten yards were made by the Drake men. Falvey ana Nlpher displayed wonderful broken field running ability on handling Simons' punts. Time after tlffla they would dodga four or five Drake men Man who were down under the kicks, and seemingly without effort, gallop back with the ball for distances varying from fifteen to thirty yards.

Several times It appeared as though the men would get loose, but Simons, Gnagey or Warren always brought the man down with a spectacular tackle. Captain Nelson of Washington did great work at line plunging In the first three quarters, hitting the line for huge gains a number of times. The Drake line gave him a hard tussle, however, and on every plunge he grew weaker. In the fourth quarter he was completely worn out, and could not gain an Inch. Crull, at fullback for the locals, did great work and went through left tackle a number of times for good sized gains.

The man playing back was called up to V. a Vl fnnn. khjj ana me com- Vf nr.Li w.ucu cuuiib ui tour vvatsuingion men proved too much for Crull. He played a great defensive game, however, and many times stopped tho opposing backs after they had penetrated to the secondary defense. Gnagey played a great game for Drake In the quarterback position until ha waa laid out.

He made several good returns of punts and ran the team In rattling shape. Warren kept up the good work, but showed poor headwork several times. In the fourth quarter he signalled for a fair catch on his own fifty yard line. The opposing ends were at leas fifteen yards down the field, and he could have made a good return. It was entirely too far for an attempt at a place kick.

Most of the time he played a good consistent game, however, and deserves credit for his showing. Reeves and MoCormack In the line were strong on defense. Not once were they penetrated for a gain of any consequence, and both went down on punts almost as good as the ends. Not one of Mlmons' punts was blocked, which speaks well for the Drake line. Reeves one time broke through the Washlngn line, and blocked Nlpher kick, and though the Visitors recovered the bi they lost a number of yards by the pi Carlson and McCrelght did good i6rk on the wings, although they were circled several times.

They could not brtjak through the Washington Interference, and were forced to go around to get their man. Both were fast on getting down under punts, but were not sure on tackling. A number of times they tackled Nlpher, but could not hold him, and he made a good return of the boot. Carlson did good work on breaking up forward passes, and not one worked on his side of the line. He also received several for good gains.

The showing of Washington came almost as a complete surprise to Drake. They were known to be strong, but local supporters of the Blue and White thought that their team would have but little trouble disposing of the Mlssou-rians. The eleven was swept off Its feet at the start, and Washington kept the men on the run. Drake's great stand on the five yard line, and again on the one foot line, will long bo remembered, how. ever, as one of the pluckiest defensive stands ever mada by a Blue and White team.

With the of weight and speed against them, the local team cer tainly put up a game fight, and saved the game from an utter rout by a stiff brace at a critical time. Tho Drake line outcharged the visiting forwards and displayed the greater knowledge of football, but the men could not hold their feet In the slippery mud and were forced back. When they got onto the dry strips of ground near the edge or the gridiron, Washington could not aaln a down and this shows that the Drake men at least had the ability, althougn they lacked the necessary weight.

Simp son varsity seemed to take on a little hope and promise this week when aome of the men who have beau disqualified during the season on account of back u'nrk hntA mnrin Hit auniM tin and ere now permuted to take a place on the first squad. During the week Coach ld- dlnga has paid particular attention to working out the new men and giving the old stundhys a Utile vacation, bens, the xtur fullback, is having the same trouble with his knee that kept him out of the big game with Drake hist year and If another serloua Injury Is inflicted he will probably be forced to quit for the remainder of the season. This would mean an Irreparable loss for Simpson. Coach iddlngs brought forth another "whirlwind play" this week and the var-lty worked it time and time again against the Invincible freshmen who from time to time are enabled to push the pig skin over the first s'l'iad's goal. Only one game remains on the Hlmpson schedule and that Is with Peiin college played on the Jndlanola grounds Nov.

24. At present the contract has not been signed to play Highland Fork Thanksgiving day in Du Moines at the stadium. Such a surprise haa been wrought to Simpson enthusiasts over the result of this year's football season that already plans are being made for next year to Insure Simpson a strong team. No doubt, this year there will bo spring football practice to round the old and new men In line for a successful team next year. IOWA STATE COLLEGE.

AMKH, Nov. Hi. Ames starts the last week of the Mil football season with one of her big games still ahead. The Druke game, always one of the big ones, has loomed ever larger since the advent of Coach Griffith and this year It Is expected to prove one of the hardest fought In the slate all season. With an abundance of excellent material the Hulldogs have developed into one of the strongest learns In the Missouri valley.

Ames knows all of this and every bit of football which the Cyclones possess when Nov. a conies around will be put Into that game. Much depends upon the outcoms ot the Drake game. Ames' standing for the season in both the stale anu In the Missouri vabey conference, awaits the remit. It Is not always that the stake is so large in a single game and that the last one of the season, but It lias proven so in this case.

There is no chance for satisfactory comparison of scores which will show the comparative strength of the two teams. Drake beat Coe by a much larger score than did Ames, nui ine vyciuoen played the Presbyterians Just a week alter the hard game with Minnesota. Captain Harte and 1-attlmer were out ot the Ames lineup Horn the very start and uinmsl entirely new team was on Die cu iiorB the game was over. Nor th (Irlnnell same afford a fair com nurison. The Ames score against Urln nell was 21 to ti, but It is pretty generally believed that after the first quarter of the game bad shown Orlnnell the strength ot Uie Ames team tney reserveu ihoir strenath for the Drake game a week later.

The Drake-CJrlunell score a week ago came as a surprise to looiuail tint lirlnnell rlnvs her fiercest game of the season against Drake and 11,0 Drake team went Into tne game snr ferlng from Injuries. Hut whatever the pust scores say, Amus expects the hardest kind of a game. The team here should go through the remainder of the season In good condition. Some of the men who are not in very good shape now will Improve great ly (luting Uie orAi lew Oreat tare will be taken the coming week that no more Injuries are brought shout and that stateness oe waruea 011.

"IOWA COLLEGE. ORINNKLLi. Nov. IS. The season Is near Its close; the biggest game of the season confronts the team.

With but five more dava and then the fate of the foot ball team will be sealed for the ear of If Grinned wins from Cornell the team will have a better recora man last iir. but a defeat will place them In the same standing that they held at the close of last year. The team and the! students are beginning to eat, sleep and talk nothing but Cornell. With the odds lualnst tlie team they will have to out-flght the huskies from Mount Vernon to gain a victory. Every effort will be made to bring back the old hoodoo that they have had over Cornell until the last two seasons.

With the excellent showing the team made 11 gainst Drake the hopes of the school are rising and by next Friday It will be at fever heat. The team 1 as been given easy workouts all week as they reeded the rest to bring them back te good condition and the coach will continue the same tactics next week with probably one more scrimmage before the tlnal game. The ciaich has been giving the men a few now pluys so that they will be able to score when they get within striking distance of the goal. These few plays are thrillers and the coach will have the men use them only when they need first down. If the weather conditions are good Orlnnell will play an open game and re-son to trick formations as Cornell has a heavier team and more experienced.

The only change In lineup up the past wee.t bus been (Sreenwood from guard to tackle to stop up the one weak spot In the line. Fdson has used Greenwood at tackle. Sutherland has been spending a great deal of time on punting and also handling of punts, is Cornell has in Coppese the best In the state, '10 (irlnnell hopes to equal Coppess' record by being able to return them well and by Urlnnell's ends In dowvlng the Cornell men In their tracks.

The first quarter ended with the ball In Drake's possession on her own five yard line. Gets Good Punt. Simons, now punting with the wind, got one away for forty-five yards and Crull downed the visiting quarter In his tracks. CoMlla again smashed through and downed Falvey for a five yard loss. H.

Nelson made two battering ram smashes through the Blue and White line for first down. Onagey broke up a forward pass and Washington drew a fifteen yard punishment for holding. Simons brought back Nlpher's punt for ten yards and Immediately returned the kick to Washington's forty-five yard line. Slhler made five yards In two tries and then tossed the ball to Morrell. The speedy right end tore through a broken field and ran the ball to Drake's one yard line where two men downed him.

Drake put up a magnificent defense and Nlpher failed on a smash and an end run and Slhler lost on a try at a smash. Drake Immediately kicked out and Carlson ran the visitor outside on the thirty-seven yard line. Onagey again slipped In on a forward pass. Time was taken out for Morrell, but he returned the play. Simons failed to run the left end and kicked, but the wind carried the ball outside.

Nlpher booted Gnagey on the fifteen yard streak and Simons returned the compliment for forty-five yarda, of which Falvey made thirty-five on a beautiful return.

Gnnijey Is Hurt. Time was taken out for Gnagey and Warren was sent in at the quarter position. Nelson tore off a five yard run on fake kick and on the next down failed a real try for a field goal and his side a fifteen yard penalty. Warren gathered in the usual punt and Simons made his kick out to the forty-five yard Slhler made four yards and re covered his own fumble on Drake's forty line. The big St.

Ixmls right half booted to Warren, who came down fivo yards and Drake kicked to Blh-j "Stuffy" Beeves broke through the line and wrestled Nelson for three yards' loss. The first half ended wltb the ball in Washington's possession on Drake's thirty-five yard line. Both teams left the field and went to their tents for the IniermUslon. Apparently greatly rested both Bides came in strong and Colvllle kicked off to Falvey, who carried it back for flvs yards. Slhler Juggled a little with the oval, but managed to recover It and the next down was thrown back five yards.

Washington again drew a fifteen yard penalty and booted to Warren, who mis-Judged the ball and Morrell was fifteen yards nearer the goal when ha was tackled after the recovery. A fake buck netted seven yards. Reeves Bhlfted Jobs with Crowell and Btrahan went In at the former's position. Simons stepped In front of a pass and Immediately tried one himself and failed.
