The outcome of the leading foo. bal

! conferred particularly in one contest OIL
another Two games for Iowa eleveps
viii of course, attract the greatest
amount of interest in the Hawkeye state
Iowa VS.. Illinois, at Iowa City, and
Ames VS.. Wisconsin. at Madison. In
the first game the Hawyeke eleven is
likely to become victorious altho Il!i-
nois has played good ball this season
and has given her own admirers enc or
two pretty surprises. Ames defeat by
almost every team it has played, and
especially by Grinnell last week, has
caused the admirers OF the farmers to
lose the confidence that they had placed
in the apparently husky eleven. Wis
consin should administer a crushing de-
feat and undoubtedly WILL Monmouth
and Knox, two bitter rivals, are to meet
in Monmouth today, while two more
teams that have always been at swords
points in atheltics-Northwes and
Chicago-are pitted on Marshall field.
Michigan will have an easy time with
the Ohio State College, at Coiumbuss
and Minnesota Will undoubtedly make
pudding out of North Dakota. In the
east there are no particular interesting
games. the important games of the big
four" being scheduled for next Satur-
Harvard plays Pennsylvania today and
should have 70 trouble at all in winning
from the Quakers.
The plucky wearers of the scarlet and
black, at Grinnell. are evidently deter
mined to close the present season with
more victories than defeats to their
credit. When the season was started
matters looked pretty dubious for the
Congregationalists, and sure enough
they were, as everything seemed to be
working against the securing of for
midable eleven. Since the season has
however, the team has
gradually grown in strength and the
surprise of last week. when Grinnell
wiped Ames off the foot ball map, was
repeated with another yesterday aftei-
noon, on the home grounds, wnen the
sturdy Methodists from Indianola, who
have not sustained a defeat this season,
and shut out Drake only a short time
ago, went down in defeat with a score
of 35 to 0. The game developed the fact
that altho Simpson has been considered
possible timber for competition in the
state championship, she is not In the
same class with Grinnell. and was not
from the instant time was called until
the referees whistlel blew game over
at the end of two thirtyminute halves.
With GrinnelHs defeat of both Drake
and Simpson the eleven's friends arr
now beginning to live in sonic hopes of
the game with S. U. ]. next Saturday at
Iowa City. Grinnell supporters have
hardly dared to hope for anything in
the contest with last years champions
of the west, but this season, now Grim
nell has shown such wonderful inn
provement, it is considered that there
is more than fighting chance.
Another Iowa game yesterday was
that between Cornell and the Still o.
teopaths, at Cedar Rapids and was won
by the Methodists by score OF 40 to 0.
The game was decidedly uninteresting
because of its extreme one-sldedness
and coupled with exceedingly slow ball
played by Cornell.

west and east, are as follows:
