Ames- Drake Game Next.
The coming week will witness the
annual classic between Drake and
Ames, the battle ending the schedule
for both teams as usual. Ames comes
up to this game an overwhelming ia
vorite. very different condition from
last year when Drake was made two
touchdown choice. Ames at that time
took the field and administered the
worse defeat Drake has received at the
hands of the Aggies. Drake fights best
when it is the under dog and down

neither the strength, the resources or
experiences of their opponents, not
man in the Drake camp will admit they
have not a chance. The Drake team
will be in better shape than It has been
since the battle at Washington when
the light Drake back field was so badly
battered it was not ready for the game
with Missouri week later. Ames
suffered in the game with Iowa, both
Uhl and Wilson being forced out by in
juries, and the team can not attain the
shape it was in when t lined UP
against the Hawkeyes.
Iowa Meets cornhuskers.
The Iowa Nebraska scrap will show
the championship team Of the Missouri
Valley against the Hawkeyes. Iowa
has not defeated the Cornhuskers for
fifteen years, the last Iowa victory be-
ing in 1899 when they made the high
score of the series between the two
teams with thirty points. The relations
Of the two schools have not been con-
tinuous as but five games have been
played in the decade and u half since
the Iowa victory. Both teams played
hard and important games and should
not be at their best In this weeks
meeting. Nebraska has had far hard
er schedule than Iowa and considering
this. their showing has been proper
tionately better.
