seek larger game. Manager McCutch-
con states that Iowa sis in the big
schools now and they will receive first
attention" The statement that Iowa
City and Grnnell will not meet on the
gridiorn next fall will be surprise and
a disappointment to many lover of
sport in Iowa. 1t has been customary
during all the interscholastfc relations
between Grinnell and Iowa City for the
events to be held at each place alter
nately. Owing to financial considera-
lions this custom was departed from
last year with the distinct understand
Ing that the departure from precedent
should establish no new custom The
game for next fall should be played at
Grinnell and in arranging the schedule
for the home team Manager Dickinson
expected this. He has just received
word from Manager McCutcheon stat
ing that the game will be played at
Iowa City or not at all.
In the track relations between the
two schools. Iowa City states that she
desires but one dual meet this year.
The past week has brought out Grin
nell's track in large numbers. The ma
terial is largely new as those familiar
with intercollegiate athletics will no.
tice by glance at the names OF the

the 100-yard dash and the 220 are Ly-
man, Conger, and Bair. For the quar-
ter Lyman, E. S. Evans. T. Trigg and

and Harris will put the shot; Baggs,
Handel, Parks, Harris and Smith will
whirl the discuss.
In the one hundred and twenty yard

ing, Brown, Lister and Handel are to
appear in the two-twenty low hurdles.
The team for the relay will be made up
from the following contestants: Con-
ger, Bair Lyman, Spaulding, Wilson
and Spencer.
The loss Of Jack Crouch is keenly felt
by Grinnell. He left as a sophomore
when his athletic talents We're just be-
ginning to develop in good shape. Iowa
City is to be congratulated on the ac-
QUESTION Of so promising young ath-
lete.
With the exception of Lyman, Bair,
Conger. Evans and King the men are
all new and whole the bunch contains
much promising material 1t is entirely
crude, young and undeveloped.
Ames should have very strong team
this season. This is the third season
at Ames for Trainer Clapp and his
work of the past two years has proved
him a most capable coach. Trainer
Jack" Watson considers him the hard
est coach he will have to meet this
year. Watson most highly commends
Clapp's work with Peck, the we'll
known Ames Splinter and with Lamb
their hurdler. Ames will have a very
strong track team for the triangular
meet in which she is scheduled. Iowa
Terrell the young hurdler and pole
vaulter who as representative or
West Des Moines high schol won a
name for himself by his showing last
year. Iowa City is also very strong in
the sprints. Their most promising cam
didate bids fair to sweep all before
him at the state meet at Des Moines.
His last years experiences will place
him in an extra strong position for this
contest.
AS usual Iowa City has many ath-
letes who are strong weight men. At
Drake Coach Monilaw is working his
men hard and his over sixty out of each
night taking cross country runs. This
we'll known method of Coach Monilaw
is bound to produce telling results. A
Drake alumns states that Drake will be
rid of her old weakness this year as
she has two new men who are es-
pecially strong in the sprints and to
whom they look with all confidence to
take these events in the state meet.
Ames is generally conceded the meet
this year with Iowa City second and a
hard struggle between Drake and Grin
nell for third. Coach Watson OF Grin
nell preserves his usual retiscence in
regard to the prospects of his team but
1t is easy to discern that he has little
confidence of the Iowa College teams
ability to win a prominent place this
season and is content with carefully
the young material from
which he hopes much after few sea-
sons OF training.
Iowa State Normal will show up this
year If Wolff the sprinter develops as
he gave promise of doing at the last
state meet He is considered by those
who have watched the best work done
on the cinder path at the Iowa intercol- |
legiate meets to be as promising man
as will appear in May at the state |
meet.
Is FULLY CONFIRMED.
