Des Moines, May 5.-The state field
The home field meets of the majority
of colleges having been held and the
results indicate that the contests Will
be unusually close at the state meet.
Ames has been picked as a inner
by some, because of her good showing
Saturday. The records were no phe-
nominal, but they SHOW the college
has a good all around team that will
stand to win points in all the events
Grinnell is telling the usual hard luck
story, but there is probably more
truth than fiction in the reports be-
ing sent out regarding her men. Some
of her best men are laid up. Her
showing at Cedar Rapids was good,
however, and she may with the Grin
nell spirit prove too much for her riv-
ais.
Swift's performance in the broad
jump at Iowa City Saturday rather
discredits the hances of either Balm
OF Grinnell or Pell of Drake, altho
the Drake people still pick Drake for
a winner. Drake is strong in the
weights and is rapidly developing men
for the other events. The past week
has been prolific of progress and cham.
pions Of the white and blue are con-
fident.
The managers and trainers have had
little to say thus far and should they
condescend to speak it will probably
be only in the vocabulary of hard luck
There is, however, no denying the fact
that at least three schools-Ames
Drake and Grinnell-have been eXper-
fencing a strong undercurrent of on
fidence. In it's heart of hearts each
school thinks it has a chance to win
the state meet, and probably will con-
tinue to think SO unless one shows
very superior class in the tri-cornered
contest at Ames.
But it is not we'll to ignore the
abundance of material from which DIR
Knipe can draw o the the tremendous
enthusiasm he inspires when he starts
out on the athletic warpath.
The Ames Meet.
Special to Times-Republican.
Ames, May 5.-In the dual field meet
between Iowa State College and Simp-
son College Saturday the Ames athletes
won by the large score of 1O6 to II
points. Owing to the hard rains of the
night before the track was very heavy
and no very fast time was made. In
the short runs Peck had been slated as
nn easy winner but was easily beaten
by White who tho a fast man had never
figured on as taking first from
Peck.

Next Friday Ames, Grinnell and
Drake will hold a triangular meet on
the Iowa State College grounds in the
afternoon. In the forenoon Drake and
State College will play a game of
base ball. This meet will virtually
decide the state meet. Ames is now
looked upon as one of the probable VIM
ners of the state meet. Athletics at
Ames are in better shape than they
have been for years and very earnest
interest has been awakened among the
students and the residents, largely due
to the good work of Coach Clapp.
