IOWA'S POINTS ON DEOP KICKS Player Twice Cross th Hawkeye Goal Line and Ontplay the Iowa as by a Wide Margin. Long Line of Beef and Brawn That Represents Missouri on the Gridiron This Season 1 1 IOWA CITT. Oct. Telegram.) Nebraska, with every man on the team battling furiously from the opening of the first half until the referee's whistle blew announcing the clone of the game, defeated Iowa In the hardest fought game plRyed on Iowa field since the Cornhuskers were here In IMS. The acore today waa II to Nebraska made all Ita point on two touchdowns, one coming In the first half on straight foot ball, when Kroger waa ahoved over from the one-yard lino and the other Boon after the opening of the rewind haJf, Harvey catching a forward piws on Iowa's twenty-five-yard line and crossing' the Hawkeys goal line.

Btrkner failed to kick goal on the second touchdown. Iowa made Its eight points on two drop kicks, one by Kirk In the first half and the other by Hyland In the second half. The game was the greatest exhibition of modern foot ball ever seen' on Iowa field. Nebraska and Iowa both used plays adapted to the new rules, but the Cornhuskers were more skillful with all their plays than the Hawkeyes. Nebraska em ployed the on-slde kick several times, and gained ground on both of these plays.

The forward pass was used many times and resulted In good galna In a greater ma jority of the attempts. While the Corn- buskers outplayed their opponents In both Ives, at the opening of the Initial half Jw displayed flashes of brilliancy which firat gladdened the hearts of the Hawk eyes, but Coach Catlln'. pupils were not ble to keep up their gait, and after the fh-st five minutes of paly were swept off their, feet by the husky players from Nebraska. laws Scores. In the first five minutes of play, Captain Kirk, star halfback on the Iowa team, made a drop-kick from Nebraska's twenty-ftve v.rri tin.

Thi. i a aufva laer Sr' The CornhukTs, Instead of being w.i.uia,m ay Dring scorea against, were on and rushed the Hawkeyes off their feet for the remaining thirty minutes of the firat half. the klckoff, following the scoring by Kirk, Nebraska braced In the greatest kind of fashion, and on several plays carried the bail down the flld Into low territory, where Coach Catlin's much prided defense was not able to withstand the onslaughts of-; the Cornhuskers, and gave way to a tralght-llne buck for a touchdown. After securing this touchdown Nebraska still i played hard ball, and only for a fumble might hare made a second one. Kirk, who had been depended on by da" lows; rooters to win the game, failed miserably In his kicking after making the first drop-kick In the opening five minutes of play.

He tried several goals in the first half, and In the first twenty minutes of. the second half, but missed them all. He was Injured about the middle of the second half and was taken from the game. Hyland. who did the drop-picking after Kirk retired, tried four drop-kicks, making one of them.

In the last four minutes of play he tried one from Nebraska's twenty-' five yard line that would have won the game had It been successful. At this time the Hawkeys rooters were hoping that he i would kick the goal. Hyland was nervous. however, and the ball swerved to the right i and missed the goal by several feet Nebraska's Play Brilliant. I Nebraska played a brilliant game both on the offensive and defensive.

The Corn huskers' line from tackle to tackle held i fully as well as It did at Minnesota two weeks ago, and Iowa was unable to pierce 1t for any considerable gains, this Inability to gain against the Nebraska line forced the Hawkeyes to repeatedly kick and at- open style plays. These on several occasions worked and resulted in tneir getting the ball near enough to the Corn- huskers' goal to try a drop kick. The element of luck entered Into Iowa's ncces. with the modern plays to a great extent. Fumbles by Nebraska In the open- I Ing half gave them this advantage for drop Tne 'allure to recover the ball on J', punts, too, by Nebraska also helped the Hawkeyes.

The Cornhuskers fought an uphill game throughout the entire seventy minutes of actual play. Chaloupka at right tackle was a marvel. He carried the ball repeatedly In both halvea for great advances through the line. He plowed through both tackles time after time and the Iowa deefnae was bat-' tered down on several occasions It seemed that nothing could stop Nebraska from Increasing Ita score by several points. Offside play at critical points cost Nebraska majiy yarda and probably one or two touchdowns.

Miner, who was substituted for Kroger In the second half, did some sensational running wtlh the ball. On four occasions he carried it for long gains. Two of these were for over twenty-five yanla. One gave Nebraska forty yards. He dodged like a veteran going through Iowa's line and evading clever tacklers.

Barkneld's Great Work. Nebraska's back fluid proved a powerful worker against Iowa's line. During tho optnlrtg half, with Beltser, Kroger, Btrkner and IK-in ley playing the four back field positions, It did the most wondi'rful work of the season. Btrkner, Beltser and Kroger all hit the line hard and carried the ball tor many long gains. Their charging waa sersattonal at times.

Bentley. who played his first big game, held down the quarter-la back position Ilka a veteran. After th first five minutes of play he settled down hard work and ran the plays off without balk. Ita also made ground when r.arry- the ball. Kroger left the game early the second half.

Miner taking his place, teltzer also was forced to retire. Sturs-leffwr arolrjr In i xi-. v. llllv in 1110 jgame Beltser punted well, sending the ball for forty and fifty yards. Ha threw the ball accurately on the forward passes.

The steady and hard playing of Johnson -and Harvey, the two Nebraska ends, kept from advancli far with the ball on end runa No Iowa player skirted a Nebraska ng for any good gain. Nona of the new "peek-a-boo" plays ware disclosed by the Cornhuskers today. They were not necessary to win the game, and "King" Cole had the team save themselves for Ames next Saturday. It was Nebraska's treat defense that attracted attention again and that saved the game. Iowa's husky I line and plunging backfleld men could not ijaln through it Hart.

The sensational tackling of Gross was a feature of the game. Kirk, while he lasted, worked hard and returned balls with great speed. He punted the ball forty and fifty yards. The last fifteen minutes of play were of the most grueling sort. Nebraska, with the game won, had to fight to Its utmost In order to keep the score In its favor.

Iowa was desperate and strove with fierceness to overcome the lead of the Cornhuskers. Players were laid out on both sides. Nebraska tackled the Hawk-eyes with a sureness that wore out their opponents. Iowa after a brilliant showing on the offense for ten minutes in the middle of the last half exhausted Itself and Nebraska, still playing with vigor, began to advance the ball toward the Hawkeye goal, when time was called with Nebraska in possession of the ball on Iowa's fifty-yard line. "King" Cole's men came out of the game considerably bruised up, but determined to get into shape for Ames.

Tonight they are all waiting for a train to take them back to Lincoln, and rejoicing over the hard earned victory. Iowa students had planned a big celebration for this evening, expecting that the Hawkeyes would win, but there is no celebrating here. Everything Is as quiet as on a common occasion.

GAME FAST AND SN Braise's Good Bight Foot Scorrf Firat Points of the Game Teammates Keep Vp th Denver University, 80; Crelghton, Creighton'. football team was III swept off Its feet at Vinton street! Saturday afternoon when the fast if university aggregation outplayed Crel at every stage of the game and wl the score of 30 to 0.

Early In the game It was to be seel Dr. Koehler's squad was thoroughly In all branches of the game, that thl ran low and hard, that they had a did kicker In Captain Brusse, thatl Interference was about the best thfl been seen In Omaha and that they tJ. tricky aggregation and were not to use their trick plays. The teams were, of different build al-thoug the weight seemed to slightly favor Denver. The Mountaineers linemen were long and rangy and fast, while the Creighton line seemed much more stocky.

But once was Creighton able to gain the required distance to make a first down and that was a sort of a fluke on a delayed pass. Denver made two field goals 1 nthe first half, the firat after fourteen minutes -of play making the score 8 to 0 at the end of the first half. In the second half they played harder and faster and Creighton at the same time seemed to lose the necessary nerve to keep the pace and Denver trotted up and down the field at will, making long runs and forward passes and when necessary kicking the ball for good punts, Creighton being unable to stop the cyclone. Interference The style of interference which the Den ver lads put up around the endsh seemed to puzzle Creighton and often 26 and 30 yard runs resulted. When Skldmore would start around the end he would have at least five men to Interfere for him and the Creighton ends and tackles did not seem to be able to break up the play.

They made the mistake of all trying to get the runner Instead of breaking up the Interference. Around the ends was not the only place Denver went, for gains for Schraeder as a plunging fullback Is a corker "and when several yards were needed on a pinch he was simply sent plowing through the line and Invariably made good. aFllure to call upon him In the first half with the ball near the goal line cost Denver a touchdown, but It was practically mado up for a moment later, when Captain Brusse kicked a goal from placement for forty-six-yards. Creighton had kicked the ball fro mlts three-yard line and Brusse made a fair catch and heeled the ball. He then sent It soaring squarely between the goal posts for the second field goal of the game.

When Coach Kenney In the second half saw the game was Irredeemably lost he called upon his pony backs and several other line men, but the new blood was not able to stop the rushes of the Grizzlies. Dr. Koehler did not call upon any of his substitute, until there wa. but ten minutes still to play an dthe game was won beyond recall, when he relieved the members or Ms back field, who had been doing such heroic work. Things were getting a Utile rough and he desired to save his men for the big game with the Colorado Schol of Mines next Saturday.

Creighton Wa. Powerless. Tha, stocky Creighton team, the same lineup which had won 'from the strong Grtnnell team two weeks before, seemed to be toys 1 nthe hands of the Mountaineers, It was the consensus of oolnion amornr th iuui umi roomers mat uenver nas a remarkable Nteam with a backfield such as has seldom been seen on a western gridiron. This bunch of backs, however, had great support from the line men, so that when a straight plunge was called for. there was almost Invariably a hole and when the backs weer sent around the ends they had heavy linesmen to Interfere for them.

Denver won the toss and chose to kick the ball, giving Creighton the north goal, with the wind blowing almost from the east. Schraeder kicked out of bound, on the first attempt, but his second went better and the game was on. Stevens made a return of ten yards and then lost three on an at tempt at the end. Creighton kicked forty yarda and Skldmore was downed In his trac ks. Crow.ey made seven and Skldmore failed and Denver kicked to Crelghton's iweiuy-ara nne.

utevens made two and Lrognion aimed lor thirty jards, Stevens downing Brusse In his tracks. Crowley made a four-yard gain and Skldmore ten and Schraeder plunged three Into the center. The ball was soon carried to Crelghton's twenfy-flve yard line, when Rubs circled the for a seventeen-yard gain. After two vain attempts to gain a far ward pass netted a touchdown, but an offside play saved the score against Creighton. A try at goal failed.

Plenty of Creighton kicked to the center and there was no return. Two trial, with no gain and Denver kicked to the twenty-five yard 11ns, (Continued on Second Page.) si I Anxious to win the lone conference game on its schedule, the Iowa eleven will strain every nerve this week to get into condition for the Illinois game at Champion next Saturday. Crippled, with Captain Kirk, Hastings, Stewart, Perrlne snd Collins In poor condition, the Old Gold will labor un-dere severe handicaps, but with the memory of last year's brilliant victory over the Illinois, Catlln expects his pupils will work to the limit to perfect the complicated forward pass offense which proved so effectual In the second half of the Illinois game last year. The coaches have Impressed the men with the necessity of the hardest sort of practice this week. Assistant Coach Griffith came back from Chicago after the Chicago-Illinois game, and his lectures at the nightly chalk talks did not tend to develop overconfldence.

He told of the clever forward passing of little Blnnock, and the mighty defensive play of Captain Van Hook at "open center." Anxiety over the Nebraska game caused the coaches to develop the men as much as possible this last week, but Catlln will not abate the pace this week trusting that the men can stand the strain. With endurance capable of a hard week's grind after the gruelling Nebraska game today they will greatly develop the pet plays of the Hawkeye coach, including the "angle play" formations which have so far never failed to fool the opposing line. Iowa students look forward to the Illinois game as the big contest of the season, ranking firat In Importance as tt will show the standing of the lowas In the "big eight." A large delegation Is planning to accompany the team and a party of undergraduates have arranged for a special car to make the trip. Trainer Tommy O'Brien 1s aiming to have Captain Kirk, the star Iowa half and drop-klcker, who was chosen by many critics as all western half last season In the best of condition for the Illinois game. A seriously injured knee, sustained In the Cde game, has hurt the work of the Iowa leader all season and O'Brien wishes to have him In tip top shape for the big game of the schedule.

It Is expected that Missouri and Nebraaka will Join with Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and Purdue In forming this schedule. The fact that Chicago won the national Intercollegiate title from Pennsylvania last March has helped to boom the game greatly In the west, Meantime a rather wiser control has prevented the game from getting Into such a condition as In this section, where It was thought wiser to abandon it for a tlmo.

McBeth, FIELD GOAL WINS THE CAME Bellevns Wins Close Contest from the Boys from Hastings. GRIDIRON BATTLE WAS FAST Although Kxeelllngr In Some Branches of the Game, Hastings Loses hr One Goal from Field.

Bellevue college. Hastings college, 0. Outplayed In the first half and their goal In constant danger. Bellevue came back at the opening of the second half yesterday, and, sweeping Its opponents off their feet, won the game then and there. The actual score was from a well directed drop kick booted high over the bars by Pearson.

He drove It from the fifteen-yard line, but It had steam enough to have carried from the thirty-yard line. It could be argued with some plausibility that Hastings ought to have won, and as a matter of fact that eleven did gain considerable more ground than Bellevue. Moreover, the visitors' long Journey and the fierce pace Bet In the first half undoubtedly told on them as the game progressed. On the other hand, the kicking of Pearson In the first half and the defensive work of Marvel must be reckoned with In the saving of the contest nd, aryhow Bellevue won. Presbyterian was pitted against Presbyterian In the contest and the natural rivalry of the two colleges lent added aest to the game, which, from the spectator's standpoint, was not excelled.

If equalled, cn a local gridiron this year. The game was replete with th use of the forward pass, and the on-side kick for which there Is r.o penalization for failure was utilized to decided advantage once or twice, Enfield of Bellevue making a big gain on one play of the kind. At straight football, Hastings excelled and Its Interference moved rapidly every time. Hastings big gains were made, however, by the forward pass and four times being blocked and one falling short. A fumble by Warner spoiled another chance at a score and the fourth opportunity went glimmering when a forward pass hit the ground the eight of a second before the end scooped tt up.

Just at the end of the first half Bellvue rushed the bull back to the middle of the field and when the It was within striking distance of the goal line. Two place kicks were essayed, one whistle blew the score was 0 to 0. The intermission over, Bellvue got the ball after the kick off and In turn essayed the forward pass. It was worked prettily. Marvel would dash to the right as If for a quarter back run and then crisscross the ball through the air to the left end.

Two plays of the kind were what put the ball up where Pearson kicked It over the crosn bars. Hastings worked the pass a llttln differently. The quarter not run but the other backs sallied to one side and then the quarter threw to the other. Many Fake Plays. The old fashioned crisscross and some new varieties were attempted with fair success by both sides and were successful because the defensive playing of the end.

of both elevens was mediocre. Some of the long gains In running back the ball after kicks were due as much to the many tackles missed by the ends as to the speed of the runners although both Warren of Hastings and Captain Marvel did show great speed in open play. The prettiest single run of the day was that of Warren after Bellvue had scored and he once more got the ball near tho Bellvue goal line. Three desperate line bucks failed to gain, however, Bellvue showing good grit when hard pressed. The lineup: HASTINGS.
