Iowa City, Nov. 17.-The result of the
Iowa football games of Saturday has
had decided tendency to further en-
tangle the possibilities of a clean win
ner than otherwise. Both Cornell and
Ames were slated to win, yet each
failed to do so. Cornell lost to Grinnell.
and by so doing has to a certain extent
made her position as candidate for
second place rather unsteady. Only to
a certain extent, however, for Cornell
had already defeated Drake, who had in
turn trimmed the Grinnell team. Ames
has also been beaten by Cornell, and
Unless the victory of the latter team
ever Cornell is to be taken as deciding
the relative positions of the teams Corr
nell has still the right to claim the Sec
cnd place among Iowa teams.
Grinnells victory over the team from
Mount Vernon was a decisive one, anu
the visitors were fairly bested. Inc
field was muddy and slippery, and the
winners were playing on their nome
grounds, which may have had much TO
do with the final score. Grinneil, by
her victory, has to some extent re-
deemed herself among the Iowa teams,
int Cornell while they lost the game
have lost but little so far as relative
nosition is concerned, as she mas al
ready defeated both Ames ana Drahe'
who were the only real aspirants TO the
honors of second position. oho.iu
>,rinnell win from Drake on Thankselv-
ing their positions will be changed.
The Drake-Ames game was coilsiuei-
able of a surprise, as Ames ndu peeh
picked by many to win. brakes me
was unable to stand the fast low tan
dem plays of the Ames team, ana inc
ground gained in this manner was only
Offset by the clever punting Oh stuart.
Ames gained considerable more ground
than did their opponents, but they were
never able to get close enough TO thelr
opponents goal to score.
Iowa City outclassed the ST Louis
team, but this was e cd. anu the
victory won really am to but Ut
tie. Iowa City is repolted to have
PLAYED the fastest game of the season.
Among the western teams Minnesota
has firmly established herself by her
victory over Wisconsin Saturday The
result was surprise. for the wlsest
ones had picked Wisconsin to win, anu
considerable money had been placed at
odds of to 5, and even to l, on the
Badgers winning. AS result of this
game and Michigan's victory over Chi
cago the big nine" is assured of real
champion this year. and the game
which will decide the leader is the one
to be played Thanksgiving at Detroit
between Minnesota and Michigan. 1t
will be either teams game until the
last scrimmage is played.
Yale is picked for certain winner
in the east this year. The excellent
game she put up against the Tigers"
Saturday swept all doubt away as to
the suit of next Saturdays game with
Harvard at New Haven. There is all
ready plenty of Yale money up at odds
of to /, with but few Harvard takers.
Those who are on the ground prophesy
a victory just as certainly as the two
teams come together.
