Des Moines. Nov. %. - High school
football games Of the week served more
largely to tangle the fight for the state
title. Ida Grove failed to make good
showing against Lake City. Burlington
strengthened its claim by an over
whelming defeat Of Cedar Rapids, a
team of some standing. In Des Moines,
East went down in defeat before West,
condition which adds to the elation
at Fort Dodge and detracts from the
joy at Davenport. Different factors
are making q valiant fight for a post
season elimination. Davenport an
nounces, it Is thru with football next
Thursday as far as this years sched-
ule Is concerned. 1t looks like the hot
stove league would decide the cham
pionship. 1t is unfortunate Burling-
ton failed to get on the Davenport
schedule this year. 1t is more UNI
fortunate that Ida Grove failed to meet
Sioux City, Fort Dodge or one of the
Des Moines schools. Both Burlington
and Ida Grove have made a good show
ing in the games they have played
but both lack the trials which come
with hand schedule. Credit should
be given Davenport, Fort Dodge, East
Des Moines and Ames for playing the
hardest schedules they could find.
Marshalltown also has not sought to
win a title by attempting to win over
one good team.
Record Crowd Witnesses Game.
The principal battle Of the week was
between East and West Des Moines.
East has not recovered from its titular
battle with Davenport and for the day
the West team was the best. A large
amount of energy was wasted by both
teams in venting hard feelings engen
dered by what East considered to be
political attempts to weaken their
team. The game was witnessed by
what was announced as the largest
crowd ever to see high school game
in the state, the number of patrons be-
ing registered at $500. This probably
is in excess Of the number in attend
ance.
Ames and Marshalltown, Council
Bluffs and Corning and Abba took
second position. Ames won from Mar
shalltown by enc score. It was the sec
ond defeat Of the year for the Mar
shalltown team. each by a single
touchdown and each by getaway. The
u to Is score of Counciu Bluffs and
Corning shows how the southwestern
part Of the state is waking up while
Oskal0Osa won one Of the one sided
games OF the year by whipping Abba.
,As 9stlie 9eetiona1 Championships. II
Turkey day high school football
games will do little to decide the state
title. Several sectional titles will be
cleared and decided, however. Bur
lington and Fairfield will battle out the
southeastern honors between them
Fairfield has been tied twice but be-
tween the two teams the winner can
read a defeat to all the teams Of the
section. The southwestern title de-
ponds upon the battle of Atlantic and
Shenandoah, game in which Allan
tic seems to have the edge. Fort Dodge
and Eagle Grove will decide the Boone
Valley title while the two Waterloo
teams. East and West, will meet to de-
eide the honors Of a small circle and
for the dearer title of leaders of Water
loo. Ida Grove has weak opposition in
Hawarden. Davenport plays outside
OF the state while the central Iowa
title will rep0se with West Des Moines
for a year. Sioux City also will play
out of the state, probably meeting one
OF the Chicago teams.
