games of any Importance are being

having had midweek games since last
Saturday. In all the schools steady and
encouraging practice has marked the

Probably the greatest state interest
centers in the Drake Iowa City game,
| IS ii is reasonably sEe to assert that
| this contest will be close. and exciting.
| Practice at Iowa City. so reports say,
| has been most satisfactory. to Coach
Chalmers during the past week, and the
development of the team work has been
more noticeable. Pessimistic stories
have been eininating from Drake, but
just how much truth they contain, or
whether or not they are sent out for
reasons. can not be learned. Practice
is said to lack snap. and decided
slump has been experienced during the
week. Both teams are laying for
this game, and both are decidedly anx-
| ious to win. The winning, however
means more to Drake than 1t does to
the state university, altho the latter
cannot very well afford to lose. It Is
possible there may be n surprise In
store for Old Gold followers, for the
Des Moines team is heavy and has fast
ends and backs While Iowa City may
winning, altho 1t may be only by q
small margin.
Just what Ames may be able TO do
with Minnesota is purely guess work
but the result will serve to furnish
n probable guide as to the relative
strength of the Ames and Grinnell
teams With the state schools aeay-
| Ter team it Is not likely that the Min
nea polls eleven will be able to run the
score quite as high as il did against
Grinnel Minnesota is said to have
made great strides during the past
couple OF weeks. and Ames should be
satisfied to hold them whiting anything
like a reasonable score. Should Aihes
cross the goal line OF Minnesota she
wili have considerable cause to con-
graduate herself.
Nothing but the highest praise IS due
| the Cornell eleven for the showing mace
| against the Chicago University TINS
week in Chicago. The reports OF the
game sent out unanimously concede the
| light Iowa eleven to be the best that
has been played on the Chicago 1leiu
| this year. Altho rather light, averag
ling but 155 pounds, the Cornell team
| is made of the proper stuff, and y
| would behooye the other Iowa eleyens
to look to their laurels If they expect

their credi, after going against them
Like the Arnes- Minnesota game, the
probable outcome of the Grinnell-Uni-
versity of Missouri contest is unknown
