she has been able to gain entry into a circuit

one of the teams representing Grinnell, Ames

withdrawal OF the State university. A local
foot ball man said yesterday, in discussing
this matter: II have witnessed a number of
the games In which the Iowa team has con-
tested and unless 1t is remarkably stronger
this year than ever before l have serious
doubts as to It's ability to hold dts own with
some Of the larger universities with whom it
will contest honors during the coming sea-
son. For the last few years the Hawkeyes
have been kept busy holding UP their end Of
the string with Nebraska, Kansas and Mis-
souri,, and they will be outclassed by the

is a marked Improvement"

James j. %Jeffries, champion heavyweight
pugilist of the world, and conqueror of Bob
Fitzsimmons, is said to be following the
ways which ultimately unmake champions.
The latest from England reads to the effect
that the big Californian spent much Of his
time in the company Of Fougere, a Paris
music hall singer, who is said to be des.
p%erately in love with the western giant.
When Jeffries embarked the other day for
his twelve-day trip to Boston his friends
had to smuggle him away from the actress,
and that is why the pugilist sailed from
Dublin on a twelve-day boat instead of from
Liverpool on a much faster vessel. When
Fougere found out that the object of her
alteration had sailed she Immediately en-
gagged passage. The chansonette will reach
New York before the fighter. She is des-
p~erately in love with Jeffries, and declares
that she will marry him. Jeffries met the
singer during his recent visit to Paris, and
when he announced his intention OF re-
turning to London she Cancelled her en-
gagement without a moments notice and

Of kings rather than deiegatlng horse racing

OF the expert knowledge required OF them.
Beside the actual expense OF maintaining
the Columbia there is the steamer st.

serves as a trial horse Computing these
