Ames Cross-Country Team
Loses Two of Star Runners
Ames, la., Nov. 3. (Special.) Two
of the best men of the Iowa State
cross country team are on the hos
pital list. They are Cromer and
Husted.
Cromer has been suffering for the
last week, with a sprained tendon,
which he is having considerable diffi
culty to make act as he would have
it. His loss to the team is keenly felt
in view of he fact that the Missouri
Valley meet, although not definitely
scheduled, is expected to be held in
the near future.
Husted is last year's star who has
developed a bad case of broken arches
which prohibit him from doing any
big league running. While he has
been around the track a couple of
times lately, his work' shows a fall
ing off from last year.
- Captain Hawthorn is the hope of
the Iowa State camp. In the daily
tryouts, he finished a quarter of a
mile ahead of the rest of the field.
While he is not unbeatable, he guar
antees any man a good fight on the
five mile course.
Five Horses Go Down in
Bad Spill in Latonia Race
.Latonia, K,y., Nov. 3. One of the'
worst spills that ever has occurred at

second race today, in which five of
the 12 starters went down in a heap.
Bedtime Stories was the first to fall
and in quick succession, Auriga, David
Craig, Langhorne and Thistle Green
fell over her. The accident apparently
was the result of crowding. Mink, on
Langhorne, 'and Martin, on Auriga,
escaped injury. Dismon, Dfeyer and
M. Garner were not so fortunate.

BALM IN SCORE
AGAINST OHIO
Stiehm's Men Are Crushed by
Conference Champs, But Are
Consoled With Three
" Point Field Goal.
Indianapolis, Nov. 3. Defeated, 26
to 3, by Ohio State, Indianapolis uni
versity consoled itself with being the
first team to score against Ohio this
season. The Indiana team held the
Ohio men well in the first period, but

unable to prevent him from making
four touchdowns. Indiana's only score
was made after it had tried various
means and finally resorted to a place
kick by Hathaway.
Council Bluffs Loses to the
Denison High School Team
. Council Bluffs High school foot ball
eleven lost the opportunity to land the
southwestern Iowa title yesterday
when the Denison High school team
repeated last year's action and won by
a score of 19 to 0,
Before the largest crowd of enthusi
astic students that ever witnessed a
foot ball game here, the Bluffs men,
helped by the hundreds, of students,,
held Denison scoreless in the first
half. The forward pass was working
fine for the Bluffs and two or three
times touchdowns seemed to be near.
In the second half everything
seemed to gowrong for the Crimson
and Blue. Denison's fullback played
a spectacular game, keeping the ball in
Bluits territory most ot the time until
three touchdowns were secured. Deni
son's playing was mostly line plunges,
while the Bluffs used the forward pass
and end runs to gain what they did.
Captain Ray Barritt starred for the
home team by his ground-gaining end
runs. The Crimson and Blue machine
was heavily outweighed by its speedy
opponents.
Denison players received numerous
injuries through their whirlwind play
ing, none, however, of a serious na
ture. "Red" Stemler was the only Bluffs
olayer for whom time was called, he
receiving a stunning blow on the head.
Next triday the home men meet
Coach Patton's South High Packers
on the Sixteenth avenue field.

was partially blocked and went way
wide. .

Morrill Runs Up Large
Score on Alliance High
Morrill, Neb., Nov. 3. (Snecial
Telegram.) Morrill defeated Alliance
here today, 46 to 0. Fullback Mowry
and Captain Shoestal at right half
back again proved themselves the best
ground gainers in western Nebraska,
high school foot ball circles. Brilliant
end runs and fierce line smashing by
these backs enabled Morrill to gain
consistently and surely while their
defensive playing was superb. Fossey
at left tackle proved a stonewall on
defense and ripped great holes in the
Alliance line. Morrill plays Bayard
at cayara November 16.

Keepers, 32 to 0, in Bagged
Game of Straight Foot
Ball.
South High defeated Commerce
High yesterday at Melady's Veadow
32 to 0 after a ragged, pepless game

slight advantage of speed. They com-'
petely outclassed the Commerce

danger during the entire game and
being within 25 yards of their op
ponentsj goal the greater part of the
time.
Banner, Emigh and Etter formed
the trio of South High stars while
"Duke" Levinson of Commerce did
some brilliant playing for his school.
Although hampered- by his light
weight and short legs, "Duke" easily
outplayed his heavier opponents and
was the mainstay of his team. In
juries were numerous, from which
South High suffered the most having

The Creightort-North Dakota clash

Kline'a crew to the tune of 50 to 0
or thereabouts, by fighting hard dur- .
ing ever minute of play and they
made the blue and white cohorts play '
their beat for everything they made.
The feature of the game was a 65
yard sprint by Harmon in the second '
Quarter. He' trot away to a flying
start through right tackle, shook oft
a few Wesleyan hangers-on and raced
ud the held with several other
ambitious proteges of Kline in his
wake and striving desperately to over
take him. It was then that Harmon
made good the oft-repeated assertion
that he was the fastest man on the
Blue and White team. True, a Wes-
leyanite bore down on him diagonally
but he was too late for he attacked
Harmon five yards from goal and
when Harmon bethought himself to
stop rolling he was over the mark.
Passes Gain Ground.
Mullholland and Leahv sained con
sistently all through the game, and
the brilliant aerial attacked worked
by both these etellar performera
proved the undoing of the enemy.
Passes from Mullholland to Leahy,
and vice versa were almost sure to
be completed and for from 10 to 25
yards each. 'Mullholland did his full
share of line bucking, and when called
upon to carry, the ball, simply per
forated the enemies' line with his
wuliet-like charges.
Under ,th?able generalship of Field
Marshal Kelly, the Omaha eleven
uncorked a bunch of new plays which
met with gratifying success in the
number of yards they netted. The
Creighton line was effective in check
ing the onslaughts of Nebraska Wes
leyan. . ' ' "
Captain ."Stonewall". Morgan made
good his title yesterday, while Camp
bell and Hull on the ends won the ap-'
plause of the spectators for their
fierce tackling. Campbell's long punts
aided materially in gaining ground for
Creighton and. he completely out
classed Carman,, his opponent.
- Wesleyan. Quarter Stars.
Hquser and Carman starred for the
Orange and Black. The excellent
showing made by the doughty quar
terback of the visitors was an in
spiration to , his teammates, who
braced and held the Blue and White
eleven for' downs at critical moments
when the Omaha crew seemed on the
verge of chalking up another score.
Housier had quite a coterie of trick
plays at his command with which he
twice threw the. Blue and White en
thusiasts into a panic by forcing his
team on a whirlwind dash down the
field. : But Mills' men remembered
they were playing foot ball in time
to prevent the Wesleyans from scor
ing. t The game began with Creighton de
fending the" south goal. Leahy re
ceived the ball on Carmans kick-off '
and returned 35 yards.
Leahy Scores.
Harmon, Leahy and Mullholland
advanced the pigskin on short plunges
through the tline down to Wesleyan'a
four-yard line, when Leahy tucked
the ball under his arm and fought
his way over the line for the first
touchdown, which came after five min
utes play. Campbell failed to kick
