AMES. Iowa . Nov 00.—An “Iowa

years. This comes from the fact
• that he is not only an outstanding
—football player, but that he is an
pil-around college man, a student, a
.leader in campus activities, and
p Above all a man who is well liked
by his teammates because he is a
clean, hard fighter.

Wallace has been termed a "rov-

scoreless deadlock. Frequent pen-

Among these was Robert De Ware,
the great fullback, whose death was
mourned by every athlete and for-
mer athlete of the old school two
years ago. The first game that
year resulted in a scoreless tie. The
second was played at San Antonio
and was a 12 to 9 victory for the
red and white. The collegians went
home in freight cars rejoicing in
their first victory over the Long-
horns. Much money changed hands
as a result of this contest for both
teams were backed heavily. Seven
more years—years of football heart-
aches for the A- and M fans passed
before the Farmers again emerged
victorious from an encounter with
the “hated” orange and white.
