.BELLEVUE WORKS FOR DOANE
Coatest Saturday Will Settle State
latereolleaTlate Championship.
- Blnoe the Tarkio game the purple and
gold eleven has been kept busy In prepara
tion far the final contest - of the season,
which U with Doane,. Saturday, at Belle
Vue. "'.".
The last week scrimmages have been
light and most of the work has been In
perfecting the signals and plays. Several
of the men have been recovering from In
juries received In the last game.
Owing to the radical change In the lineup
It has been necessary to drill the men
hard on signals, and a great deal of work
Is required to fill up the hole left at full
back position by Enfield, who is unable to
play any more on account of an Injured
knee. With anothe week's work It Is
boped that a strong machine .. will be
moulded Into shape and will be ready to
meet the strong Doane team. So far Belle
ue Is undefeated and has an equal chance
for another championship season. Belle
vue and Doane have always been strong
rivals and this year many reports have
been beard about Doane'a strong team. Its
strongest opponents have been Nebraska
anlverslty and Hastings, but If compara
tive scores count for anything In showing
the strength of a team. Bellevue will be
right In the game.
Bellevue and Doane played tie games
With both Hastings and Wesleyan, and It
looks as If the Bellevue-Doane game will
be the big contest of the season In deciding
the state Intercollegiate championship.

IOWA CITY, la., Nov. lS.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Playing fearless, aggressive foot
ball from whistle to whistle, Iowa
trampled its ancient rivals from Ames on
Iowa field today by the decisive score of
It to 0, represented by three touchdowns,
two of which were made in the first half
and one In the second.
Iowa, displaying the form which tied
Nebraska, outclassed the Aggies with a
whirlwind Irresistible attack. The Hawk
eyes swept the Aggies off their feet and
tore the heavy Ames line to shreds. When
Ames had the ball the Iowa line was a
stone wall and In the flrat half Coach
Williams' men made exactly twenty-three
yards. During ths contest Ames gained
118 yards against Iowa, while the Hawk
eyes' total was 418 yards, The Iowa de
fense was ths most powerful ever seen on
Iowa field. Captain Qrosa and Alexander
gained ground repeatedly on the tackle
smashes, while the line plunges of Full-
back Murphy and the end running and
forward passings of Hyland and Hanlon
passed many chalk lines for Iowa. The
helping spirit of the Iowa eleven made
possible the long gains despite a muddy
field and slippery ball.
Playlaar la Perfect Form.
The Iowa eleven, led by Quarterback
Stewart, never made a fumble and the
atralght foot ball was varied by beautiful
forward passes. Iowa gained forty-four
yards In five forward passes. Ths spread
formations of the Hawkeyes completely
bewildered the Aggies. Amer line was
soon cut to shreds through the terrific at
tack of the Hawkeyes. Captain Wllmarthe
was carried off the field unconscious In
the middle of the second .half and Coach
Williams was compelled to use several
substitutes. Coach Griffith sent In two new
bacs In the closing minutes of the game
to save Collins and Dyer, his two half
backs for the Kansas game.
Haxard was put In at full back, while
Murphy was shifted to left half and made
three first downs in five smashes just
before the game closed with the ball In
Iowa's possession on Ames thlrty-flve-yard
line.
Ames' one rally came In the middle of
the second half. Haggcn made ten yards
on a quarterback run and Throeger broke
through a thirty-five yard gala, but lowej
held and Johnson railed in a pla.
from the thirty-yard line. - j
Iowa's line was practically lmpr
and Ehret and O'Brien often ,
through to down the Ames' runt,
their trace. The manner In which
forwards opened up the tunnel-likt

did smashing of the Hawkeyes.

WEST TRIUMPHS OVER EAST

Points of the Gridiron Battle.
FIRST DEFEAT IN TWO TEARS
Michigan Seores the . Flret Toach

Start of Game aad Then
Keeps Up Good Work.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 18. For ths first
time since 190T, the University of Pennsyl
vania foot ball team went down to defeat
today, Its conqueror being the sturdy
eleven of the University of Michigan. The
final score was Michigan, 13; Pennsyl
vania , all the points being made In the
first half of the contest It was Michi
gan's fifth attempt to win a game from
its worthy eastern opponent and the vic
tory was well deserved.
Michigan was a surprise to the support
ers of Pennsylvania and other eastern fol
lowers of the game, who came here to see
the east clash wtlh the west. The western
men were superior in weight and other
respects to the eastern players and In
team work they moved with a precision
that showed careful preparation and gen
eralship. The same cannot be said of Penn-
sylvanla. The home players, without de-
trading from the visitors, put up a poor
exhibition of foot ball.
Michigan's superior weight told on Penn
sylvania's light line, the Wolverines hav
ing little trouble In piercing the Quaker
formation on all sides of the line.
Pennsylvania mads ten changes In the
lineup, while Michigan was compelled to
send in but one substitute.
Michigan scored the first touchdown
within two minutes after the game started.
rBaddock for Pennsylvania, In running
back the klckoff, fumbled and a fleet
Michigan end fell on the ball thirty yards
from the Quaker goal. A line play gained
ten yards and then Allerdlce shot a for
ward pass to Msgidsohn, who was across
the line, before a Pennsylvania man could
lay hands on him.
Seeoad Toachdowa.
The second touchdown came soon after
and was earned by hard playing In which
the heavy Michigan men gave a great exhi
bition of how to carry the ball. Getting
the pigskin on their own forty yard line on
Miller's fumble, Michigan, by a series of
plays directed against the line and ends,
carried It to Pennsylvania's forty yard line.
Then Magldsohn was entrusted with the
ball, and on a fake formation he skirted ths
Pennsylvania right end, and with a clear
field, ran for the forty yards for the second
score.
From this point It looked like Michigan's
sAme, barring flukes and accidents, but

IOWA IS LAYING FOR KANSAS
Hopes to Retrieve Lost Laorels by
Victory at Lawrence.
IOWA CITT, la., Nov. 13.-(Speclal.)-De-splte
the fact that Iowa has made an In
consistent showing in the present foot ball
reason the students look for a strong fin
ish when the team plays Kansas at Law
rence on November 20.
Beginning the season with many handi
caps Coach John Griffith has developed a
team that knows foot' ball in the face of
many handicaps. To start with the Hawk
eyes had the hardest schedule that could
i be devised.. Not only did the team meet
the best elevens, but It met them at most
Inauspicious times from the point of team
development.
Missouri put the Iowans out of the Mis
souri valley running by one point The
Tigers played subs, but the Hawkeyes were
plainly in a lethargy most of the contest.
A week later Drake, the coming light In
the new conference, took another wallop
at the Hawkeyes and eliminated them from
Btate honors.
But the Iowa eleven, possessed of a
knowledge that it is one of the most pow
erful mschines In the middle west for
part of every game. Is trying to pull to
gether as It did against Nebraska and
triumph over ths Jayhawkers In the final
game of one of the most aggravating
schedules ever played by an Iowa team.
The display of open play given In the
second half of the Drake game was aa
tounding to Iowa foot ball followers
Mixed with ths powerful tackle smashes
of Captain Gross and Fullback Murphy
the bewildering formation mught by Coach
Griffith were wonderfully effective. The
spurts In the Missouri game, though for
shorter Intervals, revealed the latent power
of the Hawkeye scoring machine.
To Instill a fighting spirit that will carry
victory to the Iowa eleven in the closing
act of a schedule which has been a tragedy
Is the ambition of the coaches. By putting
Kansas out of ths Missouri valley cham
pionship the Hawkeyes will not only
avenge last year's defeat, but will help
and the title for a sister institution in
this state Drake university at Des Moines
providing the Christians svln from Mis
souri and Ames.

Victors Twice Penalised When
Wlthla Btrlkla Dlstanee of Goal
Orange and Black Loses Its
Only Chance to Score.
NEW HAVEN,-Nov. IS. Today at Tale
field 85,000 spectators witnessed per
haps the most spectacular exhibition of
pure foot ball of the up-to-date type
ever seen ' In a game between the old
rivals, Tale and Princeton. Tale won by
score of 17 to 0.
The game had Intense climaxes. Tale,
almost at- the outset-of play, using In
the main Its old fashioned pile driver
tacllcs, took the ball steadily down the
field only to be penalised when within
striking distance of Princeton's goal.
But the two most interesting crises of
the first half came when a blocked punt
of McCormlok's mounted high behind the
goal posts and after a series of spec
tacular fumbles, settled under a Prince
ton player, scoring a safety for Tale;
and when soon after a second blocked
punt fell also close to the goal post of
Princeton, who this time lost the ball to
Lllley. Tales' tackle, and with the goal
kicked, an added six went up to Tale's
credit on the score board.
The seconds half , also had its In
tense moments. One came when after
an exchange of punts and a forward
pass Tale ' got within striking distance
of the Princeton goal and took the ball
over in a series of plunges.
It looked like a touchdown and the
Tale bleachers broke loose, only to sub
side into a pathetic stillness when the
team was called back for off side play.
It was In this mid-time of the second
half that Princeton's cheerers were elec
trified by a series of brilliant runs by
Bpsrks and it looked for a brief time a
though the Tiger had caught its second
wind. But a field goal by Coy, and a
few moments after another touchdown
for Tale after a series of fierce massed
Plays, finally chilled Princeton's hope.

MADISON. Wis.. Nov. ll-Mlnnesota
clinched the Western conference foot ball
championship today by decisively defeating
Wisconsin by a score of S4 to 8. The Min
nesota team played one of the most bril
liant and successful games ever seen on a
western gridiron. The powerful and varie
gated attack of Minnesota proved too much
for Wisconsin at all stages of the game.
For a short time in the first half Wiscon
sin held Minnesota and took the lead by
6 to 6, after Minnesota had scored the
first touchdown. As the game grew older
the Minnesota offense appeared to Increase
In power and simply tore the Wisconsin
line to pieces. In the last ten minutes of
the game Pickering and Rosenwald each
smashed through the Wisconsin line and
ran seventy-five yards for touchdowns.
Anderson was the bright star for Wis
consin, while Moll, Culver and Wllce
played good games.
Minnesota scored a touchdown after a
twenty-two-yard run on an old-fashioned
criss-cross by Stevens, who w-as laid out.
Wisconsin later made a touchdown and
Moll kicked goal. Score: Minnesota, S;
Wisconsin, 6.
Atkinson replaced Pettljohn at quarter
back for Minnesota In the first half. Both
teams played a hard, consistent game and
there was little punting. Score at end of
first half: Minnesota, 11; Wisconsin, S.
In the second half Minnesota played a
whirlwind game, making four touchdowns
In the half.
Wisconsin was unable to withstand the
rushes of Pickering and Rosenwald, who
repeatedly smsshed the line of the oppos
ing team with telling effect Pickering
made two long runs in this half, carrying
the ball once for a gain of seventy-five
yards and a touchdown.

for Wisconsin and Schsln went in for

Defeat by Missouri, 22 to 6, Leaves

Tigers and Kansas.
COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. lS.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Missouri outclassed and decisively
defeated Drake university's foot ball eleven
on Rollins field this afternoon, shattering
the Iowans' dreams of Missouri valloy
championship honors, by a score of 22 to 6.
At no time was tha Tiger goal threatened
and Drake only scored by a lucky recovery
of a fumbled onslde kick from Missouri's
thirty-five yard line.
Purdy and Burcham starred for Drake,
while the work of Deatherage, Bluck and
Alexander featured Missouri's play. Only
nralght foot ball was used by either team,
excepting one toward pasa by Drake,
which netted twenty yards. Purdy out
punted Hackney, but the Tigers excelled In
returning punts. Missouri used the onslde
kick eight times, five of which were suo-
