ONLY ONE MORE GAME
Drake -Ames Game at Des Moines on
Thanksgiving Only Foot Ball Battle
Of Importance to BIO Played in the
State Before the Season Ends-No
AmaIsamation Of tho Big Leagues.

The foot ball season Is on the Wane,
and next Thursday, Thanksgiving, will
see the end. So far as Iowa Is con-
cerned the season really ended yester-
day with the Iowa-Ames game
at Ames. The only remaining
game Of amy Importance this
season is the Drake-Ames game
at Des Moines on Thanksgiving.
This game is really Of no Importance,
other than the interest 1t holds for the.
two schools, for Drake has long since
ceased to be factor In the state
championship race. and 1t is almost Il
foregoDe conclusion that A1nes will viii
from the Des Moines school with com :
parative ease. Exclusive Of this gam 3
there are no others except among TIL .
smaller schools. At Chicago OIL
Thanksgiving Michigan will battle
with Chicago for the supremacy Of the
west. Today the season practically
closed in the east with Yale and Hal :
ward fighting at Boston.
Yesterdays state champ ionship game
developed a number Of surprises.
4owa's followers. outside OF the univer-
sity and the student body, was SUR
prised at the smallness of the score,
and were doubly surprised at the stub
born and hard fight Ames put up. 1t
was conceded all along Iowa would
win. but it was confidently believed
that 1t would best Arnes by at least
two or more touchdowns. Ames de-
veloped surprisingly stubborn de-
Tense, and altho in the second half the
bali was kept most OF the time in
Ame's territory Iowa gains were slow,
and 1t was only able to push, inch by
inch, the Ames line back toward its
own goal line. Ristine, OF Ames las
developed an unusually good team,
considering the material he had to
work with, and the result, while Of
course in falling short of the cham
pionship 1t was disappointing, should
prove satisfactory to the Ames stud ant
body.
There will be no amalgamation Of
the two major base ball leagues lat
least for a time. Such was the result
Of the annual meeting Of the American
league which closed yesterday in Chi
cago. and which adopted resolutions
| unfolding the stand taken by Presi-
dent Ban Johnson. His management
| of the affairs of the league was lauded
In resolutions adopted, and altogethe
the sessions OF the meeting were as
serene and peaceful as prayer m eet-
ing. This is something unusual for
annual meetings OF the American
league and the one Just closed will
pass into base ball history as the tam
est and most harmonious Of its kind
