The following is list Of the prin-
cipal foot ball games played in Iowa
today:
state University vs.. Drake, at Des
Moines.
Cornell VS.. Ames, at Ames.
coe VS.. Iowa College, at Cedar Rap
ids.
Des Moines College VS.. Highland
park College, at Des AIoines.
OF first interest among the Iowa
foot ball games played today was the
state University Drake game at the
stadium at Des Moines. This is in
reality the first of the state champion
ship contests, for in it either the State
University or Drake will probably be
retired from the race. The prospects
Of Drake winning are oh about a par
with the State Universities chances.
Iowa has the advantage of an average
of almost 20 pounds per man IN
weight, Drake Is said to have the
fastest team, but whether this asser-
ton is founded on facts Iamains for
today's game to develope. Both teams
are, as whole, inexperienced, so that
neither has any advantage in this re-
spect.
sDucky'' Holmes, a former well
known major Lacquer, and last year the
owner and manager Of the Lincoln
club Of the Western league, has sold
the franchise for $4,000. It is said the
purchaser is a syndicate Of Lincoln
fans.
It is not known who will manage the
team. Holmes is one of the few lucky
and thrifty base ball players of fame.
He began his career with Beatrice, OF
the old Nebraska league, in 1884. he
saved his income and invested 1t In
stock farm near Auburn, where he
spends all of his spare time Holmes
made q bunch Of money out of the
Lincoln team last season. He may
join the Nationals again, but it ts said
that he may get an interest In the
Denver team Of the Western league.
Frank Gotch has been spending
few days this week at his old home In
Humboldt. Gotch is travelling with the
Miss New York. Jr." company that
was playing in Des Moines a few days
1i< tlf
fered 500 to all Corners who coull
stay on the mat with him fifteen min
utes and not be thrown, but he was
not wrestling while the company was
In Des Moines.
The much talked-of match between
Packy Mcfarland and kid" Herman
at last was clinched last night when
the two men signed articles to fight
fifteen rounds before the Tri-City
Athletic club Of Davenport, on the
night Of November 81. The weight
will be 1873 pounds at o'clock. The
principals will divide 60 per cent of
the gross receipts on the basis OF p
per cent to the winner and rs per cent
to the loser, and in addition Herman
will get per cent of the gross receipts
for himself, the Mcfarland party say
ing this concession was necessary to
get Herman's signature.
Marshalltown is we'll represented on
the state university foot ball team by
Kirk who is the latest of the players
from this city to make good" on one
of the big state, elevens. Kirk learned
the game here with high school foot
ball teams of three or four years ago
and he learned it well. AS a charging
and plunging back he has probably no
superior in Iowa. He received valuable,
coaching here during his last year in
the local school when S. Clyde Will
liams, now coach at Iowa State Col
lege Ames, had charge of the team.
Williams gave the high school the
fastest team it ever turned out
The girls hockey team of Coe Col
lege lost the final intercollegiate con-
Rapids, by the score ofi1 to 0. The
Ames team was much stronger than
last year, but Coe had also improved,
and the game was exciting thruout.
The winning goal was scored by Coral
Robert of Ames in the middle of the
second half.
Catcher John johnson, of Frank
fort, Ind, and Pitcher Esselbaum, who
was in the Wisconsin League this year,
will be with the South Bend team in
the Central League next season
C. B. Macdonald, of New York, has
accepted the invitation extended by
the Royal and Ancient Golf club of St
Andrews, to become a member of the
rules of golf committee of the club.
