'Lincoln, Oct. Iowa State college of Ames went down before tha Nebraska Cornhuskers on the gridiron today, tha score standing 17 to 0 at the end of twenty-five minute halved. Tno university campus was converted into a mud puddle by a heavy rain last night and fast play was impossible. The Ames Iftds struggled valiantly, but were outclassed by the superior team play of their faster opponents A recapitulation of tha gains made on the offense shows that the Cornhuokcrs advanced the ball over 400 yards during tho game, while Ameh' offense was omy able to carry the oval twenty-live yards toward the Nebraska goul. Ames endeavored to use a tandem buck with four and five men in the play, but the Hawk- eyes were too slow in starting and tiie Nebraska forwards, were able to p.unge through and break up the formation before it became effective.

Captain Schalty, Ames' big tackle, was the on.j man on the team who was able to make any headway whatever again the Corn- buskers' defense. Xebi-aska'a Costly Juicbleft.

Consequently in her next Friday's game with Ames, though probably will not be able to iine up as strong as earlier in the season, Grin- rell may be depended upon to play a game and make the "Cyclones" stubbornly contest her ground. Just what shape Coach Tratt and Trainer Watson may be able to put this reassorted team into, all supportt-rs of the Midgets' colors will natch for with deep Interest.

Time of halves--Thirty-five minutes At Penn's request thirty-five minute halves were plajed, notwithstanding the fact that the yuakers had contested a hard 2ame witb Still on Friday afternoon, iiad to this fact is partially due the large score. The Highland Park team played snappy ball and afforded the backs better interierence than was glevn rne opposing backs.

Highland Park seems to be especially strong on the end The team, however, was fre- ijucntly penalized and lost majiy yara-j on this account, wliicfc would doubtless have increased the score by at least two additional touchdowns. To a bystander it appealed as if the Penn backs had been coacrjed to play any old place on defensive work, a situation Highland Park was not slow to take advantage of. At the beginning of the game Penn kicked off to Hully who was downed his tracks. Highland Park made two downs on as many ptaj-s, when the ball reverted to Penn on a fumble. The ball had not been in play long until another Jumble gave it to Highland Park and nhe ball was punted down the Held and Highland Park succeeded in getting the ball and soon pushed it over, but the officials ruled that the touchdown was not made legitimately and when Penn took the ball and punted to Highland Pdrk the local eleven on four plays succeeded in putting Hully across the line tor a touchdown.

Penn in the meantime nad succeeded, through Drinkle's line work, in making a touchdown from which Livingston failed at goal. A twen- v-flve yard run by Peat, and in the first half, despite the loud cries of the spectators of "Tandem, tandem-Where's that great tandem?" In Dhe second half, however, Holllster gave them the tandem, and to their heait's content. Illinois simply could not atop it. No better defense was ever seen on a football field than that displayed by Illinois' superb line, but flesh and blood could not withstand the terrific impetus given by the firm of Dietz brothers and Jrimson. Twice did Northwestern carry the pikskin from the center of the field straight to tne goal posts without losing it, and it was all done by the tan- Score--Drake 24, Missouri 0.

prum Left g-uard Dodds Hess guard Louthan Skow Schreiber Coach Murphy--Dral-e played a nice, fast game and Uir.y outplayed us. But when we consider that some of the Missouri eleven have not played a game this year up to this time, and that some the best men are just recovering Dom sickness, there is much to soften the defeat. We had three new men in line--Captain Washer, Frazier and Anamosa. The officials certainly did a good job and everything possible has been done to make our stay in the city pleasant, We leave Sunday morning. Captain 'Washer--This was one of the cleanest games in which I ever participated.

The officials were square and just and knew their business. We did the best we could. You certainly have a strong team in the Drake eleven. Referee Bremner--The game was cjean and hard fought. To my mind the Missouri eleven was inexpeii- enced, while Drake was on Us tiptoes all the time and put up a first- class article of football.

Coach Best--I waa more than pleased with the game, which waa an exhibition of clean and gentlemanly sport. The Drake eleven was in the pink of condition, as they did not require time to be taken out once. In direct contrast the men from Missouri called for time on almost every other down. There were spots of good football in the piaying of the blue and white, but they have a whole lot of room tor improvement. Missouri was not as strong as we had anticipated, and this fact seemed to pervade the whole local team.

After Drake took the usual ten-minute nap, which is customary at the beginning of all their games, they played some good ball. Messrs. Bremner handled the game in a creditable manner.

Such is the record made yesterday afternoon by the Drake and Missouri football elevens, and a right royal contest it was from start to finish.

Following the, game the captains, coaches and players of each side" ex- pressjed themselves as wsll "A.side from some disagreeable rooting on the bleachers there was absolutely nothing to mar the occasion. Missouri has perhaps the most evenly balanced team ever seen in this city ihe players are nearly of a size and of equal weight, averaging IBS pounds.

Drake weight was nearly the same The blue and white had some larger men in the game than did Missouri, but she a so had some which were much smaller In Bacon and Young, Drake has two of the smallest backs to be found amone the big elevens of the west.

New Haven, Oct. defeated Columbia at football this afternoon by the score of 10 to 5. Two touchdowns were Yale's portion, but neither of them converted into goals. Columbia was unable to carry the ball across Yale'i goal line, but Captain Morley executed in superb style a goal from the field, and thus registered five points for the blue anfl white. It was one of the fiercest and most exciting games ever witnessed at Yale field Neither Bide scored In the first half, ant the ball was in Columbia's ternton during the greater part of the game the.

young New Yorkers often played their opponents to a standstill. The Yule giants were held tor downs three times. Moreover, Columbia frequently made the necessary five yards, only to lose possession of the ball through fumbling. There was more or less slugging and rough work and on one or two occasions the rival players were momentarily locked in little disputes that might have blossomed into a free fight had not cooler heads prevailed. By many the outcome of the game is looked upon as a virtual Columbia victory on the theory that at the advanced stage of the season Yale's team, should be capable of administering a.
