Iowa City, Oct 15.-All Of the college
teams In the state, with the exception
OF the Hawkeyes, have played theil
maiden games OF the 1906 football
season, and Morningside and Ames
have both followed the ball across
the checkered field four times. Drake
was the new accession this week to the
teams with records, and brakes rec
ord, with its single contest, is not the
worst in the state. The State Uni
versity still remains the stumbling
block in all state championship calcu-
lations. Repeated rumors of players
disqualified by injuries and conditions
| In studies have SO befogged the situa-
tlon that the outsider at least, and a
large number OF the men who have
been following the game here, are UNI
able to read the answer.
All of the games played by the Iowa
coiiege teams had a real and definite
meaning to the Iowa sportsman. The
interesting contest between Coe Col
iese ana Des Moines College, i'll which
helther side was able to score, COM
pllcated the standing of the minor
teams and the eventual ranking OF
the two schools at the end Of the year.
The decisive total Of thirry-three
points scored by Ames against Morn
lnsside College showed not SO much
Mornlngslde's weakness as the great
strength OF the agricultural college.

the Cornhuslers, proved the prediction
that they had chance to win the
game Both teams were very evenly
matched and the touchdown only came
after a fake which netted forty yards.
leaving only short distance to plug
the line for the five points. The
Creighton College, Cornell score did not
throw any new light on the campaign.
The Goodies Moines College game
was perhaps the most interesting con-
test in the state. The preceding week
Coe had held Ames to tlirty-stx
points and Des Moines had held Ames
10 forty-fye points. Coe was beliey-
ed to have the game in a pocket, tho
1t was believed that it would not be
Won until the last half. TIL. game
however, showed that the teams were
very evenly matched, the higher total
rolled w against Des Moines College
being accounted for by the fact that
the Baptists We're afraid of the big
Ames team, and did not play the game
they We're capable of. Aston, left end
on the Coe team, is certainly one of the
best Of the minor school players. He is
by rights a half back, and behind a
good line ought to prove big ground
gamer. Rogers, left end for Des
Moines College, proved a strong de-
fensive player.
The meeting OF Ames and Morning
side marked the first invasion of east
ern Iowa by the Sioux City college. A I
long string of victories last year gave
the minor school hopes of taking a
place among the leading foot bal. |
teams in the state, and with that idea
in view, games with Ames and Drake
were scheduled Morningside wanted
to meet the state university, but the
hve-game schedule prevented. Both
and Ames had played
three games, but from the first it has
been understood that the western COL
lege had no show against Ristne's big
team, and Morningside's first attempt
for Iowa honors has resulted in failure
Griffith's men can have the salts
faction Of knowing that they held
Ames to lower score than either Corr
nell, Coe or Des Moines College did,
and by defeating Drake, Morllingside
still has the opportunity of capturing
he third place in the ranking of the
iowa teams.

game his men played against 1he Ne
