/ little question as to which team vii
take first place among the elevens o.
/ the state, there promises to be wran.
gle for second. From present indica.
! tons it looks very much as IL the honol
would go to Cornell. Should she suc-
coed in defeating Grinnell today hel
| position will be secure. even taking in
| to consideration the fact that the Cedar
Falls school trimmed her several weeks
ago. There is being played In the state
today five good games. The hardest
fought ones will doubtless be those al
Grinnell and Des Moines, when Cornell
meets Grinnel and Drake plays Ames
Below is schedule of today's games:
/. S. N. S. VS.. Penn. at Cedar Falls.
Washington est Louis) vs. Iowa
City, at Iowa City.
Drake VS.. Ames, at Des Moines.
Cornell VS.. Grinnell, at Grinnell.
Coe VS.. Western, at Toledo.
Probably the most holly contested
battle of today will be the Ames- Drake
game Coach Ristine, of Ames, says he
is confident that his team viii have no
dicffiulty in winning. The Ames eleven
will have the advantage in weight. and
will probably play better defensive
game than Drake. The Des Moines
team, on the other hand, will have the
speedier backs, and will appear to bet
ter advantage In offensive plays than
their opponents. Another thing that is
to brakes advantage is that they will
be playing on their own grounds, and
will be cheered on by a largely sympa
thetic audience. Ames will have both
of her regular backs out of the game
owing to injuries they have received re-
Gently. These men will be replaced by
subs that will without doubt weaken
her game. As it stands the teams seem
to be very evenly matched, and battle
royal may be expected.
Cornell goes to Grinnell, and unless
the unexpected happens they should
not experience any great difficulty in
beating that eleven. Cornell, consider
Ing the size of the school, is deserving
of more credit for the article of football
that her team has put up this season
than any other team in the state, and
as the elevens now stand she occupies
second place among the Iowa teams.
She has better eleven than either
Drake or Ames, and the only blot upon
her record, SO far as Iowa teams are
concerned, is the defeat on Oct. IS by
the State Normal. This defeat can
scarcely be taken as meaning anything,
when it does not indicate the relative
standing of the teams, but rather the
inability to kick goal, which lost the
game by a single point.
The university takes on Washington
University, of ST Louis, at Iowa City.
Little is known of the latter team this
year, as she has met no other Iowa
eleven. 1t is more than likely that Iowa
City will win, but this is by no means
certain. If she does it will be the first
out-of- tfe-state team that an Iowa
eleven has defeated this season.

During the early part of the week
central Iowa was threatened with good
duck shooting, but the storm was not
severe enough to send the ducks this
far south. The flight began, but the
birds running ahead of it settled in the
ponds. sloughs and lakes of
the northern counties. In the localities
to duck shooting has never
been better, and many of the sportsmen
from ali over Iowa have taken a few
days this week among the fowls up
r,orth.
Reports from Wright Hancock Clay
and Palo Alto counties indicate that the
birds are fairly swarming in the small
lakes north of Clarion; in the vicinity
Of Olaf and kanawha: and they said to
be more numerous at Lost Island Lake
than for many years. The path over
ter fowl passes is, however, gradually
westward. 1t was not many
years ago that a large portion of the
flight passed over central Iowa. Now a
of the ducks have their way
back and forth over the Missouri val
ley, Nebraska and the Dakotas. This is I
one of the several reasons why duck
in most of the localities of the |
central part of the state is so poor.
Arrangements for the Smith English |
fight have been definitely arranged, and |
Unless the authorities interfere the mill |
will be pulled of on Sunday, Nov. %, at |

The season of ping-pong has fairly

Sioux City is especially interested in the

months.
