Below is given schedule of the
more important football games that are
being played by Iowa teams today:
Grinnell VS.. Drake, at Des Moines.
Iowa City VS. State Normal, at Iowa
City.
Ames VS.. Minnesota, at Minneapolis.
Des Moines VS.. Buena Vista College.
at Storm Lake.
OF the games scheduled above prob
|ably the greatest interest is conferred
in the Grinnell-Drale game, as 1t
will doubtless be the most holly con-
tested of the four These two schools
have been rivals for years for honors
on the gridiron, and today's game
promises to be full of excitement. as
both teams are practically unknown
quantities. Grinnel will have her
hands extremely full if she bests the
eleven husky warriors of the Des
NIoines college. She has come far from
coming up to the expectations OF her
followers this year on the football field
as the squad that has been out for
practice has been far from large, and
all are light men. Drake promises to
have a better team this season than
ever before, and if signs fail not there
go to Drake.
The State University should have no
trouble in taking care of the Normal
ties in their game at Iowa City this
afternoon While the team at the un-
iversity is not what it might be DR..
knipe promises to have strong
bunch on the field when the whistle
blows for the kickoff today. Cedar Fails
should not be permitted to score and
she may consider herself fortunate ii
she once places. the ball behind the
goal line of the old gold.
It is a foregone conclusion that Min
nesota will win from the State Agrj-
cultural College team this afternoon at
Minneapolis. While Ames has strong
team they are as yet practically I'M
tried. and they go against an eXtrem-
~ strong aggregation. The gophers
can always be counted on to put up
a strong game and should the eleven
from this state succeed in scoring on
the Minnesota eleven they may con-
slider that they have played well.
Cornell is straining every nerve to
get the best possible team together for
her game with Chicago University at
Chicago on October 5. This will be
the first game that this school has ever
r7syss-- vs,id Ihsy are anA-
ious to make as good a showing as
possible. The squad that is out for
daily practice is a large one number
ing in the neighborhood of forty men.
There is abundance of good material, ]
and the indications are that when the
season is over Cornell will be far from
the bottom of the list of Iowa teams. |
The bowling season has opened in
full blast all over the state, and match
games are being played almost nightly
IN the larger cities. All the towns or
cities that claim for themselves any
at all can boast of at least i
one team of bowlers who are ready at .
any time to make match games. Bowl
ing is an excellent game and is fast !
gaining firm foothold among the in
door sports of Iowa.
All fans" and base ball enthusiasts
Will be interested in the work just pub
ished by Mr.. Seymour r. Church, of
No. 500 Sansome street, San Francisco
Cal. entitled Base Ball. AS its title
indicates, it is nothing but the history

erred to covers the period of the
game from 1S45 to 1871. ILisreplete with
