Des Moines. Oct 25.--With the pos
sible exception OF LeMars being "a final
factor in the race for the Iowa high
school championship, the title will rest
In the eastern two thirds of the state.
While Council Bluffs and Atlantic are
playing better football than teams in
that section Of the country have played
in the past, their showing does not
enttle them to challenge the leaders.
LeMars also does not rank well in
comparative scores but the fact they
have won from the last years cham
pions entities them to consideration.
Shenandoah and Red Oak are playing
good ball In the southwestern part OF
the state but also do not have the rec
urds to entit1e them to consideration.
Play of the games of last week
brought the Eagle Grove team to the
notice Of the fans by its defeat of the
Algona team. Their meeting with
Anles and Fort Dodge in later games
will give them a fairly definite stand
ing in the state or at least in the
Boone Valley section Davenport on

Davennort 70 Meet Clinton
For the Gaming week the interest
centers in tho meeting of Davenport
and clinton The game will determine
which of these two teams are to com
nand the river town respect and also
whether Dayennort will come up to
the east high game as the representa-
tive Of the eastern part of the state in
the state high school championship
battle. Another game Of importance
is the meeting of East Des Moines and
Waterloo as the game will eliminate
one strong team thus far indicated
