the COrnnQSkerS JUST aIIeT one OF tnelI
big games. However. it is the last
game OF the season for Nebraska and
considering the feeling engendered by
the meeting of year ago, it is prob
. able every bit of energy the Steihm
I Roller can command. will be placed in
| the game. Also Nebraska is looking
for western consideration and it is not
/ unlikely an attempt will be made to
| better the 81 to Is score made by Min
neso,a against iowa Thus far this
season Nebraska has been scored upon
/ by but two teams. Drake and Notre
f; Dame. the Des Moines team having the
! distinction OF being the only Missouri
valley team 10 score against Nebraska,
while Notre Dame has the distinction of
making the largest score made against
the Cornhuskers in the regime of Coach
Steihm. That Iowa will be able TO score
; is not believed possible by the men who
, have witnessed the efficient defense OF
the Nebraska team. Ames and Drake
Will rest during the coming week. each
team preparing for the renewal of the
Thanksgiving day games which were a
classic up TO six years ago.
In the Iowa conference the final
games will be played. The game of i'm
portance is the battle between Grinnell
and Cornell. the game to determine
whether Grinnel! shall go thru its state
games without Il defeat or whether the
title of the Iowa conference shall be
ciouded by ali of the four leading teams
taking one beating. Cornell had a hard
game Friday, a game which is liable to
take the confidence away from Coach
Fingers players. Grinnell, on the other
hand. rested. altho a game had been ar
ranged with Monmouth College for the
date Grinnel's announced reason for
the cancellation was that they did not
wish to take a chance on losing in the
state. The Monmouth team already has
won the title among the colleges OF IL
ionois and Wisconsin. in what is known
as the Little Five, and while they have
met defeat before Coe. a meeting be-
tween the title holder in Iowa and the
title holder in Illinois would have been
OF large interest.
Grinnell Favorite Over Cornell.
Cornell has greater weight than the
G-inneil team but Fingers aggrega-

is helpless as was witnessed in its
game against Carleton. on paper Grin

in speed and ability TO advanc the ball
and also the psychological condition of
