Ames. naturally, and not without just
cause, has reason to complain of the
recent treatment accorded them by
Manager Spangler, of the State Uni
versity in cancelling the game for Oct.
3, at Ames. which was made last year
by Manager McClains. While 1t is
conceded that perhaps the date was MOI
as advantageous to either teams as
1t might have been. the feeling at
Ames is that had Spangler been the
true sportsman he was thought to have
been he would have allowed the date

will be very likely to add another CONF
plication to the championship decision.

that the team of this year will have
weight, something that has been lack
ing for several seasons. OF the old
eleven Evans, Welker Kiesel and
Smith viii not return, but their loss
is partially compensated for by the
coming of several high school stars
among whom are Webb, Of Daven-
port high school, and Dorm, Carson.

and with considerable weight in the
line, speed in the back field, good train
ing and an excellent schedule at the
present stage of the game the pros
poets were never better.
For the past ten days a squad OF
.hirty or more have answered the daily
practice call at the State Normal
school. All of the old team. with the
exception of Jones, Panton, and Wal
lace. will not return, but there Is an
abundance Of new material. Charles
Pell, who coached last years eleven
has returned and Will again have
charge of the bunch A captain has
not yet been selected, but will be in ;
few days, and 1t Is more than likely
Jones will be chosen. Pell feels con
fident with the material at hand that
he can bring forth a team that will
give the normal school new rat

excellent. Lundgren, probably one u
the best coaches in the state, will again
handle the team this year. Cornell
made It decidedly interesting for the
Iowa elevens last season. and the
promise is for even a better showing
in the season just begun.
