Iowa City, Oct S.-The past weel
has been one Of peculiar significance
Ristine has shown by defeating Coz
College on Friday, and Des Moines
College on Saturday, that his victor,
over Cornell the preceding week was
due to something more than the weak.
squad OF men who have never beer
equaled in any Iowa college since
eleven on the Hawkeye gridiron ir
1900. Morningside, by defeating
Creighton by a substantial score, dem
onstrated that it's claims to recognition
for foot ball honors were not founded
in an idle dream. The western con-
ference, in order to facilitate an Ames
victory later in the season, obligingly
interpreted the one-year residence rule
in such a way that poor old Iowa re-
ceived another jolt, losing Sidel, Con
ner and Crow.
Coe College and Des Moines College
dropped into their old position in the
bunch of also rams" and by permit
ting Arnes to score total of 81 points
against the two of them, greatly sim
plified the situation. Incidentally ii
might be noticed that Ames has scored
III points In 100 playing minutes, up
to date. Morningside has scored 40
points In 80 playing minutes. Grin
nell has totaled 10 points in 40 minutes
Drake university at Des Moines and
the State University here, having been
pegging along in an attempt to build
up a playing machine out of the brok-
en- remnants Of last years freshmen
teams. Drake has failed to show any
particular strength and Pell is suffer-
ing from a lack Of material. Iowa
university has a big hospital squad for
this season Of the year, few of the
men are still laboring under conditions,
three regulars. as already noted have
been disqualified altogether and the
situation is far from cheerful one.
Aside from handing Iowa heavy
blow, the interpretations placed on the
new rules by the western conference
are decidedly interesting to the follow,
ers of the same in this state. One Of
the most important rulings is the one
permitting forward pass to be male
ahead of the line of scrimmage, pro-
viding the pass is made to some man
back of the line of scrimmage or to
one of the two ends. This permits a
man running with the ball to pass it
forward when tackled, provided he
passes it to the back field or end man
and provided the ball does not touch
the ground before it is caught. Roome,
fullback of the Yale team, executed
that play against Syracuse Saturday,
and Forbes, who received the forward
pass, -galloped over for touchdown.
The coming week will be an Interest,"
ing one on account of the meeting of
Morningside and Ames on the Ames
gridiron, on Saturday, October IS. This
game will mark the first invasion of
the eastern part Of the state by the
Sioux City aggregation and will also
be the first game in which the agricul-
turalists will be given tryout by a
team capable of doing the work. Of
course 1t is a three to one or better tina,
Morningside never gets inside the
breastworks, and that Ames rolls up a
total of twenty-five points or better.
But John Griffith's men will be maxi
ing the fight Of their lives. Morn
ingside has won all Of its games to
date by substantial scores and its men
have shown something more than av-
erage ability for a small college team
Drake will move out to Lincoln
Neb., for what has been expected to be
a slaughter, but Nebrlska's poor show
ing against the University of South
Dakota will probably enthuse Pell's
team, and it is not outside the range
of possibilities that Drake should begin
the season with a victory. If Nebras-
ka can correct the faults shown in
Saturdays game in seven days. how
ever, Drake can hardly expect to have
much of a lookin. Coe and Des
Moines College will also come together
Saturday, being the first Of the second
class teams to meet this year. Coe
held Ames to a lower score, than Des
Moines College did, but it must be re-
mAmbered that Des Moines got the
best Ristine had. The outcome of the
game depends so much on the way in
which Bryant and Boyle frame no
their teams after ths. Ames game that
any prediction OF the outcome is Wild
est guess work.
Conditions at all Of the state schools.
with the exception Of Ames, are re-
unsettled for this time of the
year At Grinnell, Hamilton has been
shifting his men from position to po-
sition, and apparently every time he
makes a shift they look worse. Pell
has been changing his men about and
at the state university Coaches Chal-
mers and Catlin will be forced to make
an entire new lineup by the recent
losses. On the whole 1t appears now
that it is possible for team of fast
players to develop some renrarka BILE
ground gaining formations under the
new rules: to completely outclass a
heavier team playing under the old
rules
