MES. Ia.. Nov. 17.—In one of the most brilliant and exciting games that has ever been seen on State field the Ames football team held the highly touted ana heralded Univer sity of Nebraska team to a 26 to 14 score before a monster home coming crtrwd. Ames outplay od the visitors in the first quarter, but lacked the punch to score In the first period. In the fourth period, with the count four touchdowns against them, the Cyclones opened up with a baffling array of forward passes that scored two touchdowns in five minutes and put the ball on the four-yard line for a third one, only to lose the six points by inches. The Husker off tackle plays were particularly effective today and while ■none of them were directly respons bble for a touchdown, time after time they brought the ball to within scor ing distance of the goal. The Husker touchdowns came as the direct results of forward passes. One of them came Just at the close of the first half, when Ames elected to pass when it was on its own 10 yard line. A fleet Nebraska halfback grabbed the pass and ran the few yards to the goal line for the touch down. Ames tried 22 passes and completed 13 of them, ranging all the way from one to 40 yards in length. Roberts did most of the passing, although Captain Young and J. Behm alter nated at the heaving. J. Behm was the most effective catcher, although Captain Young got several good ones, as did Bill Georgeman, who Is playing his first year of football. The Iluskers made 11 first downs' while Ames was making 10. Most of the visitors' first downs came as the result of line plunges, while most of the Ames first downs came as the result of forward passes. Nebraska made 150 yards in scrimmage, while Ames was making 122. Captain (Turn to Puce Two, Column Eight.)

Coach Allison's Coyotes from South Dakota Invaded the grounds of the Blue and White yesterday afternoon and when the smoke of the battle had cleared the Coyotes were minus 34 of their pelts while Creighton emerged from the conflict without its boundary line crossed. Before a crowd estimated At 4,000, the lowly Coyotes proved no match for the Hllltoppers. The contest was void of thrills and at no time during the game were the Coyotes equal to the task of holding the Creighton line. Two of Creighton's touchdowns came in the first quarter on straight football, the local boys plowing down the field at will. Goal failed after each touchdown. Score In Second Quarter. In the second quarter the Hilltop pel's were able to cross the visitor's goal line but once, while in the third quarter easing up a bit, although within striking distance of the Coyote’s line, they failed to carry the ball across. The fourth quarter was a repetition of the first, the lo cals going over for two more touch downs. Goal was kicked four times during the game. Lower, halfback for the Blue and White eleven, was easily the star of ihe game, having two touchdowns to his credit besides being the greatest ground gainer for Coach Wynne. Luepke and Hickey also came in for their share of the glory with their line plunging and carrying of the ball. Funston carried the bulk of the work for the visitors, being on both receiving and throwing of a number of passes. His punting was of ordinary caliber. Game Listless Affair. The game from the spectators' viewpoint was a listless affair and (Turn to 1‘ngt Two, Column Two.) John Levi Stars in Haskell Game New York.

John Levi, a Luis Angel Flrpo In moleskins, was the trinity. Both of the Indians' touchdowns were due to the plunging, passing and punting of the Haskell fullback and the Marine score was kept to a tie by his running and Interfering. Once he caught a Quantico runner from behind who had only an open field ahead. Again he hurled a 65-yard pass to his brother, George I-evi, left halfback.
