Grinnell promises this year to give
a lot of the other Iowa foot ball teams
run for their money, and 1t would not
be surprising to see the scarlet ana
black beat both Drake and the state
university. Grinnell has this year
what she has wanted for the past ten
years-weight and speed. With it, and
the coaching the squad has received
during recent weeks, Grinnell has got
together a foot ball team that is due
to prove a revelation to some of the
other state elevens. 1t is as good as
an even money bet that Grinnell will
beat Drake, and almost as good wag-
err that she will best the state univers-
ity.
Arrangements have already been
completed for the officials of the
Drake-Iowa game, to be played at Iowa
CITY. November 10. Hoagland, of
Princeton, one of the best known UNI
pires in the west, will umpire and Wall
bridge of Grinnell will referee. These
men are working together In many
of the large games of the season,
Hoagland having been the Drake-1owa
referee in several games of the past.

team but has worked over the old gold

"Ruddy" Ryan, Of San Fran
cisco. who until recently was
considered a likely candidate for
welter-weight championship honors, is
in danger of losing completely the use
OF his, left eye. Ryan at present can
not see from this member and his ply
stefan holds out little hope OF his ever
regaining his sight. There is some fear
of a sympathetic affliction of the right
eye. Ryan's injury was the result OF
a fight, with Johnny Reid, a manager
of fighters. The dispute arose over
some trivial matters, and in the quarrel
that followed Reid slashed Ryan with
a knife across the face. The blade OF
the knife entered the eye-ball and sew
cred the pupil.
Churchill Downs, near Louisville,
KY, probably the most historic race
course in America, has been purchased
by Colonel W. E. Apologize, of Louis
vile, Jerome Respess, ofCovington,K KY,
Captain S. S. Brown, of Pittsburg, and
Matt J.. VIM, of Louisville, president
of the American Turf Association. The
price has not been given out officially,
but it is understood to be in the neigh
borhood of $135, 900. The lease of the
present lessee, the New Louisville
Jockey Club, will not expire for four
years.
Allen Bros, trainers and owners, OF
Marion, usually have something to get
the money with when they leave home
on a campaign During the past sea-
son it has been the two PAGERS, Milo
2:091h and Don Roma 2:071k, that have
earned the winter oats for the Aliens.
Besides these two really good PAGERS,
they are training the trotting mare Ma
zalia Lockheart, that should, judging
by what she has shown in the educa-
tional racing given her this year, prove
a real good bread-winner next year.
Charles Hackenschmidt, a Russian
wrestler, known in his native land as
the Russian Lion" has issued a chal-
lenge to any Iowa wrestler, including
both Crotch and Burns, and wishes to
arrange match to be pulled off in this
country at any time after Nov. Is. The
Russian wrestles any style, catch-as-
catch-can or Graeco-Roman. At pres
emit he is touring Sweden, Norway ani
Denmark and claims to have thrown
every thing he has tackled.
