nois on Iowa field in 1903 by the score
of IL to o. Iowa has better than
chance to win; but to predict that the
Hawkeyes will win would be folly.
GrnneII- Drake.
History repeated itself in the Grim
nell-Drslke game at the Stadium, Des
Moines when the plucky little bunch
from the Congregational school de-
feated a team which outWeighed them
over ten pounds to the man in one of
the most exciting games of the seas
on. Bleamaster of Grinnell won the
game by field goal adding another
bit of evidence, to That already brought
out so far this stsason, showing that
the team with the certain kicker has
q big call on the final results All or
the dope favored Drake to win, but
poor generalship, coupled with ten
dency to quit at critical times, a ten
dency which appeared in the Drake
team last year, lost the game for the
Blue and White and cost Doc
PelIs squad the humiliation OF being
defeated by a team which Coe had
taken into camp by the score Of to
4. The game has brought out pc
dope will work out Coe and Des
Moines College played an 0 to 0 game.
Coe defeated Grinnell to I. while
Drake defeated Des Moines College IL
to 16. Now Grinnell defeats Drake.
Drake will play the Haskell Indians on
Saturday of this week and the outcome
of the game depends on q good many
things besides the records of both
teams to date Drake Is capable OF
playing good game OF football. The
Drake athletes are not always cutters
as was evidenced In the Drake Ames
game last Thanksgiving. They can
play Haskell hard game II they wish
to and they can let the Indians run
all over them II that idea strikes them.
The Drake team is 80 remarkably
team of temperament that the out
come of the game is matter of doubt
till the whistle blows for the last time.
Grinnell- Dos Moines.
The battle royal OF this week be-
tween the Iowa teams will be between
lege at Grinnel. This game will
probably be remembered as one OF the
most remarkable contests Of the minor
college teams. Before Grinnell had
defeated Drake, the dope would have
given Des Moines the right to claim
the game, but the showing made by
Scarlet and Black last Saturday IS
evidence Of the fact that Coach Hamil-
ton has been getting some ginger into
the team and that Grinnell is playing
a much faster game Of ball than they
played a week ago. On the other
hand Des Moines defeated Cornell %
to S Saturday, Gan Ginkle .sof Des
Moines is back in the game and Baird
has been moved into his old position at
quarterback If anything Des Moines
probably has a shade the advantage IN
the weight There Is no reason why
Grinnell should not improve material
ly during the next seven days, tho
last year they showed slump after
defeating Drake, nearly losing to Penn.
Barring flukes of that kind, 1t Is ex-
pected here that Grinnell ought to win
from Des Moines college tho the
score will probably be very close, and
likely to fall either way with the
slightest mischance.
Morningside will play Buena Vista
at storm Lake, according to the first
CITY College is expected to win tho
the. score may not be large.
Clean Football.
The one great feature of the games
so far played among the Iowa College
teams is that with very few exceptions
they have been clean. The men have
contented themselves with playing
hard, strong football and dirty play OF
all kinds has been practically eliminat-
ed. Teams have been penalized for IL
legal use of the hands but that is ex-
cusable on account of the fact that UNI
der the new rules the use of the hands
has been changed very materially 1foin
last year. The officials have proved
themselves to be competent and effl-
cient: thus far they have enforced the
rules to the letter and the new game
of football is meeting with almost uni
yersal approval.
