THE AMES GAME.
A communication has been receiv
ed from a "Nebraska friend at
Ames" presenting a review of the
incidents at the Ames-Nebraska game
last fall and explaining them. The
game with Ames and the incidents
attached thereto is ancient history
now.
In view of the wide comment at
the time, it is felt that It is no more
than fair that Nebraskans hear what
a "Nebraska friend at Ames" thinks
about this game. Ames' side
deserves to be heard.
The athletic relations between
Ames and Nebraska have always been
pleasant, and it was regretable that
anything should arise which would
mar an otherwise perfect relation
ship. The Daily Nebraskan considers
the incident closed, but feels that it
is only fair to Ames that its side be
presented.
The letter follows:
"Having read the article in the
Daily Nebraskan which appeared
shortly after the N'ebraska-Ames
football game, and having heard
other and later reports which con
demned the Ames type of sportsman
ship and football ettiquette it might
be fitting for us to submit the other
side of the story to Neftraska Univer
sity students.

the little stunt that the Corncobs
favored us with I must say that such
a belief was absurd. Everyone com
mented on it and spoke their appre
ciation of this comical and clever
addition to our homecoming program
long after some of the other events
were forgotten. If our applause was
not thundering it was because we are
a stolid bunct, of undemonstrative
farmers but possibly because the
response to such original humor
would necessarily be different in
nature from the guffawing which
would be heard following something
as timeworn as a pie-throwing con
test.
"In regard to our swearing before
the young ladies of Nebraska, I have
no definite statistics but will consider
ourselves squelched when a Nebras
kan can be found who has never
brought a tinge of lavender to the
surrounding atmosphere in the ex
citement of a football game ladies
or no ladies. Not that this justifies
the act, however, but I am sure that
it was repented by the offenders.
"As to our jeering of Nebraska
players when they were hurt, you
are entirely wrong, fn the past it
has been the custom for Ames to find
out the name of the injured player
and give such yell as "yea Smith"
three times. Shortly before the Ne
braska game we tried to work up a
more appropriate yell such as "We're
sorry, Nebraska." We admit that
our en masse pronunciation may have
sounded like denunciation due to our
lack of familiarity with the yell but
we never dreamed that It would be
misinterpreted to such an extent.
"In regard to some of your players
being hurt in a questionaole manner,
you should give us the benefit of the
doubt considering that each one of
our players wore a Mack stripe o.i his
sleeve in memory of Jack Trice and
that they must have had an aversion
to any unnecessary injury in football.

as easily, and much more profitably,

on the growth of the Chinese missions.

''It was stated as one of our faults
that we allowed no time Tor Nebras

I know to be all too true and it can
be explained as follows: the Ames
band had recently been equipped
with new uniforms which, however,
were as yet unpaid for.
"Homecoming was considered an
opportune time to show off our band
before the alumni, arouse their en
thusiasm and pass the hat. Hence the
drill and music that took up snr much
time. Could the business manage

ZEST FOR WORK
(Notre Dame Daily)
X college professor once remarked
that if the majority of college stu
dents devoted as much time and
energy to their work as they do to
avoiding it, the annual crop of gradu
ates would go out of tiie world much
better prepared to earn a livelihood.
The fault lies in the world of enthusi
asm and in a tendency to do just
enough to "get by."
Bluffing is a great American pas
time and it is to some extent justi
fiable. The bluffer may. get by;
he usually does for a time, but when
his bluff is called he has nothing to
show. Continual bluf?!ng a constant
he that Ames students rushed down enaeavor " JUS gcl Dy: n noimng
from the stands before the teams had ror or '?" an mmation a
left the field. This statement was
sure road in fact, to mediocrity. The

decidedly inaccurate because Ames '"- ay "grew, D
f, A v . M-nu.i mem 100 iaie,
observe the custom of
remaining in the stands. You Ne
braskans did not know that the folks
who made this mistake were almost!
ntircly townspeople, visitors, and the J
many high school delegates from out
i.f town. Ar.y school has a hard timei
controlling this element.
"Incidentally, the phrase 'rush
ing from the stands' which was used
by the author of your article, brought
back to me an incident in which the
ebraskans 'rushed from the stands'
at one other time, only for a differ
ent reason.
"It was in the fall of 1919 when
Ames played Nebraska at Nebraska
and Ames was leading by three points
at the end of the first half. The
small bunch of us from Ames were,
as might be expected, nlghly exuber
. ant over our lead and were giving
vent to our enthusiasm in a little
frolic, Nebraskans outnumbering us
several times, "rushed from the
stands" and charged through our
line. It broke up our party very
effectively and at the time we
thought that it was pretty poor form
but no lasting greviances resulted.
If this affair is ancient history to
you your old timers and your alumni
who witnessed this game, to prove
to yourselves that Ames students do
not err alone and diJ not hold a
etrudge.
"As to cur lack of appreciation of
There is a remedy for this apathy,
one which is not always pleasant
at first. It is to make a recreation.
Plattitudinous? It may be, but it is
safe. If one can bring to his wo-k
some of the tremendous energy
which he expends in social activities,
some of the enthusiasm with which
he takes part in his favorite sport, he
has more than half a chance of sues
ceeding.
Student Opinion.
To the Editor:
Is it really true that the Y. W.
C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. are going
to sponsor jointly group meetings
for the discussion by both men and
women students of problems of cur
rent interest?
I hope so, because this seems to
u. to be a great and wonderful idea.
It wiii be especially beneficial to the
men; for the men rarely have an op
portunity to exchange views upon
such subjects as race equality, Tea
pot Dome, and higher education with
the co-eds. They usually talk about
other things on their dates.
The Mellor tax reduction program
and tuberculosis serum form more
fitting, and proper subject for dis
cussion than do the various and vari
gated campus scandals, if any.
Of course, the women have their
Wyoming Club.
The Wyoming Club picture for the
Cornhusker will be taken at the
campus studio Friday at 12 o'clock.
All members are requested to be
present on time.
