sands OF smaller games that are never
heard of, played by class teams, high
school elevens and squads of little fell
lows in ward schools. November, the
month in which foot ball generally is
brought to close has arrived at last
and, strange to say, foot ball weather
has not even commenced.
1t has been a queer season, as far as
weather has been concerned. and in this
western country there hasn't been a
day upon which any big game was
played that the weather was snappy
and frosty, such as is desired by foot
ball players, and tends to put vigor into
the game. The principal game for Iowa
today, or at least the one in which all
central Iowa Is particularly interested,
is that between Iowa College and the
Iowa State College, played on the lat
ter's grounds at Ames. This is the reg
ular intercollegiate contest, the first
game, which was played here Sept. 90,

today. and another east-west contest is
the game between the Carlisle Indians
and Michigan. at Detroit. Chicago also
plays Beloit today.
In the east there are only few
games Of any significance. Yale plays
its annual game with West Point, and
about all the soldiers ever figure on Is
keeping the score down as low as pos

Pointers are playing an excellent game.
Princeton meets Cornell. at Ithaca. and
in New York Pennsylvania plays COL
umbia, which game will create as much
enthusiasm as any in the east. Harvard
and Brown meet at Cambridge.

went down to defeat before the Meth-
odist giants of Indianola. The state
teams have recognized Simpson this
year as having an exceedingly good
team, and especially for so small a
school, and che has many games al
ready to her credit. In the game FRI
day. which was played at Des Moines,
neither goal line was crossed, Simpson
scoring 10 points by place kicks, and
