MISSOURI BEATS HAWKEYES Score of 6 to O Fairly ' Represents Playing; Ability of the Two . Eleveaa. . IOWA CITT, la., Nov. 20. (Special Tele gram.) Iowa waa defeated to 0 today by Missouri in a closely contested game on Iowa field. Missouri's score was made in the first half, during which the play waa in Iowa's territory. In the second halt the play was in Missouri's territory, but Iowa was unable to score. The teams were closely matched and the score ex presses fairly the difference In the game they played. Iowa was superior In defense and the score by Missouri would not have been made if the officials had Seen all that occurred. Blrner made an eighty-yard run after catching a punt. Briggs, Iowa's center, was held by a Missouri halfback as he waa about to tackle Blrner soon after the Missouri runner started on his big gain. Umpire Burkland did not sea It and would not allow a penalty. Blrner was downed on Iowa's twenty-five-yard line, and on Iowa's twenty-yard Una Perry fumbled and Hollenbrek fell on the ball, but the referee did not see this and would not allow it. Missouri's offense used but four plays, but it played them low and fast and the Mlasourl players were always following up the ball. Iowa's offense ran aa if it waa afraid It would hit somebody. This feeling increased as the runner neared the line and the play came almost to a stop. Iowa's line did not change when Iowa had the ball and Jones used but very few of the many plays Coach Knlpe had given him to use. Hollenbrek was Iowa's best line smasher, but Jones did not use him enough. Howell and Buckley, the Hawkeye half backs, and Donovan in the line played as well as they could. Jones was always in the play and Briggs at center kept on try- lllrner of Missouri was the best individual player seen on Iowa held this year. Twice he leaped over Iowa tackles, a feat which only Maddock of Michigan had done before. Ardlnger was a swift runner with the ball and Wllefr bucked the line with force. Every Mlsaourlan got into the play all the time. Coach Odea of Missouri said: "Iowa did not play as low or hard or as much to gether as 1 expected. Our team was worn out by its hard railroad journey." Coach Knlpe ot Iowa said: "It was a hard, close game. Iowa's defense was good, but I was disappointed at our offense." Captain Kills of Missouri said: "We have been treated very finely by Iowa In every way. Iowa played a very nice, clean game and we have enjoyed our stay here very much." Ardlnger of Missouri kicked off to Howell. Missouri held Iowa on Iowa's fifty-yard line and advanced to Iowa's twenty-nve-yard line, where it waa held. Three more times Missouri reached Iowa's twenty-five-yard line and was held. Then Iowa ad vanced to Missouri's thirty-yard line and kicked to Blrner on Missouri's five-yard line. Blrner ran to Iowa's twenty-flve-yard line and Ardlnger scored after Missouri had smashed Iowa's left for two and three yard gains. Ardlnger kicked, goal. The first half ended with Iowa on Missouri's twenty-yard line. Score: Missouri, I; Iowa, 0. Iowa advanced into Missouri's territory In the second half and kept the ball there by kicking, but was unable to Score. Two attempts at place kicks failed. The game ended to 0 In Missouri's favor.

The neglect ot the board to designate th dates of the usual holiday vacation ta causing pupils, parents and teachers considerable uneasiness.
