With the Iowa-Illinois game at
Champaign today, the Iowa Minnesota
game at Cedar Rapids Thanksgiving,
and the Ames-Drake game at Des
Moines on the latter date the foot ball
season in the state will end. Iowa sup
porters regard the Illinois battle as but
the preliminary before the greater con-
test on the national holiday. BY what
methods or reductions they figure that
the old gold will win either down Iowa
City way is unknown yet reports Of the
expectancy of doing both are coming
from that city. Iowa might win the
game today, but she cannot possibly
hope to best Minnesota. The chances of
Illinois trimming Chalmers warriors
are about three to two, and perhaps
even better than that. Williams men
will trounce the Iowans by almost "any
old score" one has mind to mention,
and the chances are Iowa will not even
score. Cedar Rapids will be slaugh-
tering ground of Iowa meat and S. U.
l. will furnish the victims. A much
better game will be that of Ames and
Drake, with the chances seeming to
favor Drake. That will be contest
well worth seeing for it settles
second place among the state teams.
The schedule of today's games is as
follows:
Iowa vs. Illinois at Champaign.
Drake VS.. Normal at Des Moines.
Coe VS.. Augustana at Rock Island.

still in Des Moines searching out stray
blocks Of stock which will aid in the
