Drake expects to be avenged this
afternoon for the drubbing Cornell adj
ninistered last year, when she won by
the score of to 0. 1t is thought her
expectations will come true, for Cornell
hasn't the bunch defending her colors

hat respect, is stronger so that her
chances Of winning are better than al

The first week Of the open quail sea
son has not developed many birds or
hunters. The weather has been re-
for both. Quail hunting nat
urally comes with cold crisp weather,
which has been almost en-
tirely lacking during this week. Warm
days have tendency to make the birds
sluggish, and are then harder to flush
than during colder weather.
The last seven days of Indian summer
have also put a damper on the duck
hunting in northern Iowa. which n
many places two weeks ago was good.
A few birds still linger about the
and sleughs of that section.
