upset by the way which can never DC
explained. Drake took the field ia
vorite for the first honors but never
displayed a particle of the night for
which the Drake teams are noted and
after the first few minutes displayed
an impossible lack OF knowledge of the
frs t principles of football With Drake
on the run the mistakes both OF Drake
, and Grinnell were turned into scores for
the scarlet and black team and for the
third time in the twenty years 1t has
played football Drake had a score IN
excess of fifty points made against IT.
Grinndll had an exceptional team on
the field, probably the best Grinnell
team ever appearing in Des Moines, but
brakes rout was not due SO much to
the strength of the Grfnneu team as to
the inability of the Drake team to play
football, or to show even a trace OF the
knowledge OF the game they displayed
week ago against Washington. Lack
OF interest in the Grinnell game is
probably responsible for a part OF the
showing as the members of the Drake
team We're looking forward to the
games with s,;ssoa-! ard Ames and
would not consider Grinnell a formid-
able foe.
MorninSSide Proves Class.
The Ames-Morningsideg game demon
strated that the showing of Morning
side with Iowa was not a fiuke. AS in
the Iowa game, Morningside lost a
chance for tie or a win by having
men ruled out of the game for rough
ness with the consequent long penalty
The penalty at Ames gave the home
team its only chance to score. Iowa
demonstrated the shifting of the team
to improve the center of the line had
been effective in its game with the
BoilerInakers al Purdue. Purdue found
its best gains with the pass and worked
this for its scores and the advantage.
The game was the last Big Nine APP
.pearance of any of the teams of the
state. The standing of the state uni
versity team Will not be determined an
til the results of the Purdue and In
diana. Northwestern and Ohio state
teams are played.

Iowa conference of last week. that be-
tween Highland Park and Cornell

Woodrow and Callahan. appeared IN
the lineup against Cornell.
Ames- Iowa Contest Saturday.
Football for the week centers in the
game between the university of Iowa
and the state agricultural college. The
battle will take place at Iowa City. Its
decision will depend largely upon the
first string men able to take the field
when the whistle blows. Ames prob
ably gave more in its battle against
Morninsside than did Iowa against
Purdue and will have that much less
a chance against its ancient rivals.

ing for The state university. Drake

ings have been established. The i'm
