ing, it will be ideal from the spectators
point of view. Five games Of con-
siderable Importance are being played

lis a schedule of the more important
games played this afternoon:
/ Drake VS.. Iowa City at Iowa City.

Upper Iowa VS. Grinnell at Mt. YER.

Grinnell VS.. University of Nebraska
at Lincoln.
Coe VS.. Western at Cedar Rapids.
Considerable interest is centered in
the outcome of the Drake-Iowa City
game, as it promises to be one Of the
hardest fought battles of the day
Drake has an exceptionally good eleven
this year, and is making every effort
to land high among the big schools
of the state when the season closes
While it is not thought that Iowa City
will have a championship team like
the one of two years ago, indications
promise that the present eleven will
make good record for itself. 1t IS
a foregone conclusion that Drake Will
go down to defeat this afternoon, but
they should at least be able to score,
when it is rendered that the Normal
eleven, which is not as strong team.
as the one from the Des Moines school,
were able to score five points on the
University last Tuesday.
The showing made by Cornell in the
Chicago game onWednesday is a source
OF much satisfaction to both the team
and school. While defeated by score
of 81 to 0, the score does not Indicate
the relative strength Of the teams. Attic
Cornell was unable to cross their OPP
5ponents goal line it Is nevertheless
fact that they were able to tear great
holes in the maroon line and took the
ball down the field for repeated gains
By Straight line bucking. That they
would be defeated, everyone conversant
with the teams conceded, but the cause
for satisfaction is that in their first
meeting with Chicago they gave such
a creditable showing Of themselves.
This afternoon they meet the Upper
should have no trouble in trimming
ably have something Of a run for their
money.
The defeat of the Ames team at MIN
neapolis last Saturday but served to
strengthen the desire of the men for
harder efforts and more CONSTANT
practice. Candidates have been plen-
tiful and as high as fifty have been on
the field for practice at one time. True
the larger majority of these have been
new men, but some Of this new mater
ial has shown up with good promise
OF making future players and the Ames
team this year, provided they do not
encounter some great misfortune, will
finish high with the big four. They
meet the Iowa State Normal school at
Ames this afternoon, and while the
Normalites may cause them to play
every minute Of the entire two halves
they should finish with the Cedar
Falls schools score on the small side
Of the tally.
Grinnell goes to the Nebraska capital
this afternoon and meets the University
of that state. This is the annual game
OF the year for these two teams ana
as a usual thing the Nebraska men
have been able to more than hold their
own against the Hawkeyes. They will,
without doubt win this year. as Grin |
nell's team comes far from being what
is desired by the followers of that COL
lege.
Coe meets Western at Cedar Rapids
nd fhn i,Jf 4
the Toledo school will be worsted. !
While Coe has been playing anything
but good ball so far this season, the
work of the Western eleven has been
also decidedly ragged. Coe should ex-
perience but little difficulty in running
away with their scalp.
The cold wave Of last week that |
promised so much to the fellow who
loves to hunt the wildfowl, failed to-
bring them down from their summer
haunts and breeding places in the
north. The storm was not severe
enough to drive them from the weedy
lakes and shallow marshes that have
them with a home during the
While few stray punches of
teal have been picked off, but little /
worth While has been done excepting
in the more northern counties of the I
state, where good bags have been can
tured from iiocks that have bred there
thru the summer.
Referring to ducks, reminds one Of
snipe, for invariably the man who IL
willing to weather the storms of the
duck season is also willing to brave the
hard tramps and long walks Incidental
to the hunting of snipe. OF all the
nice, clean and difficult shooting to be
found In Iowa, there is none that an

birds that will doubtless stop In goodly
numbers on the excellent feeding
grounds that have been formed by the

While squirrel shooting Is a sport
that does not appeal to as many as the
pursuit of other varieties of game,
this is largely due to the scarcity, In
