showing Drake with vengeance,
their backs ripping the Drake line and
Lake skirting the Drake ends for SUBJ
stantial gains.
Morninssids and cos Compared.
OF the Friday games. the Coe- High
land Park adding machine contest
served to introduce the Cedar Rapids
scoring attraction to central Iowa foot
ball men. In spite Of the score the
impression was not that of formida-
BILE aggregation. In blocking only did
the team play Of the visiting eleven
show more than the usual amount of
football perfection, the long runs which
amassed the high total of points being
due to imperfect tackling on the part
Of the Highlanders. The team is bet
ter balanced than that of Morningside,
the other especially strong college team
of the state,sbut Coe against Highland
Park did not look as strong as Morn
ingside against Simpson IN the game
of the week preceding. One thing is
certain, a game between the two elev-
ems would be hummer. The Sioux
City team has far the better defense.
especially at ends is better at forward
passing, where Coe is crude, while the
and can play far more versatile run
ming game. In the games played
neither looked especially strong in the
kicking game but Coe probably would
have the advantage here.
Ellsworth continued to keep its goal
line uncrossed in its game with Gem
trail and also continued to make good
! Its claims to a high place in the
Teachers College added it's second
game OF the season when it defeated
. Iowa Wesleyan, ending it's season
4, among schools OF it's own class as it
commenced it. with victory. Grnnell
failed to score against the Monmouth
team, while that team annexed the
: largest score 1t has attained in a de-
cade with three-quarters of hundred
points against Coach Fishers charges.
Clinton Proves Title Claims.
Unexpected results attended two Of
the high school games of the week.
While Clinton was expected to win
from Lane Teck, Of Chicago, it was not
expected that the victory would be one
sided. BY it's performance. Clinton
turned the spot light upon itself and
the score indicates that the east Iowa
team outclasses all the Illinois teams
this year. 1t now has defeated Engle-
wood, Lane and Aurora. while the
Lane team holds the honor Of having
defeated the Oak Park team, the ma
tional champions OF two and three
years ago. East high of Des Moines,
supposedly strong. was beaten in a
game at Omaha. the contest being fin
ished after twilight The muchly de-
feated Iowa City eleven had another
count added against 1t when Grinnell
won to 0 game on the grounds Of
the former.
One of the Indications of the weeks
play is that central Iowa will not give
stron gcontender for the state cham
pionship. A week ago Sioux City de-
feated Omaha. This week Omaha de-
feated East high. West high did not
look good against the much defeated
North high team. Marshalltown had
fuke touchdown tie scored against
it at Newton, record which efficient
officiating probably would not have al
lowed. Ames failed to show much
against West Waterloo, it's score indi-
eating it is about in the class Of Fort
Dodge. On dope and paper, which 1t
must be understood do not decide foot
ball games. Clinton and Sioux City are
the best football teams In the state.
Climax Of Season Saturday.
Decks are cleared this week for the
all-important game between the State
University of Iowa and the State Col
lege at Ames. 1t is the annual home
coming for the Ames graduates. But
for the fact that Drake has not been
defeated in state games, it would be
state championship clash. If Ames
wins it has but to clear the way of
Drake to hold an undisputed university
and college state title. If the state I'M
iversity wins, 1t must then wait for
Ames to defeat Drake before it can he
accorded the same definite honors The
indications are that the winner of the
game will claim the state title but the
final decision of the first three places
may rest with the Drake Ames game
of the following week. The game is
the game of traditions for the two state
schools. Up to two years ago it was
the most bitterly contested game in the
state but for some reason Ames has
failed to show It's best against Iowa in
the two last encounters, altho coming
back a week later against Drake and
playing wonderful football. Just what
the history OF this year game is to be
will be shown on the state college field
before the week end.
