Following is list of the principal
foot ball games to be played by Iowa
teams Saturday:
Iowa College VS.. Drake at Des
Mones.
Iowa University VS.. Wisconsin at
Iowa City.
Cornell VS.. Knox at Galesburg Ill.
or first interest among Iowa games
today is the one between the state UNI
iversity and the University OF Wiscon-
sin. which is being played at Iowa
City. Should Iowa lose this defeat
will put it out Of the running In the
big nine" 1t has usually happened
that Wisconsin has had little difficulty
but this year there Is quite u likelihood
that Iowa will be able to down its old
rival. Wisconsin Is by no means as
strong this season as 1t has been In
the past, and for that reason Iowa has
a much better chance to even up old
scores than it ever had before. There
Is much doubt felt at Madison over the
outcome OF the game. While iowa
City is by no means over confident Of
winning, the feeling that there is at
least an even chance to win Is running
high.

married. resides ut Youngstown. o.
Abe Attel, the featherweight cham
pion added another victory to his list
Thursday night when he knocked out
Freddie Weeks of Cripple Creek In the
fourth round Of what was to have been
twenty round bout. Weeks was no
match whatever for Attel and the
champion had him at his mercy all the
way thru. In the first round before
the fight had progressed as much as a
minute, Attel sent swift right cross
to Weeks jaw and the Cripple Creek
boy staggered back, dazed and totter-
ing.

At the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Professional
Baseball leagues in New York this
week nothing was accomplished indi-
eating contemplated breach with
the two major leagues. After two or
three addresses, the secretary's report
and the appointment Of couple Of
committees, the meeting was ad
adjourned until tomorrow, presumably
for the purpose of discussion among
the warning factions with the idea Of
getting them together on disputed
points. President Powers announced
that the association was in excellent
shape and that the season had been
successful. He referred to the rumors
OF the formation of third major
