ders OF the commonwealth. Northwest
ern, thru its defeat By Iowa, Will con-
tinue 20 be me weakest member of the
big nine" unless il can lower the col
ors of Ohmic or Indiana to that posi-
ton. The Iowa Northwestern battle
was the real scrap OF the day North
western making a touchdown while the
HaWkeyes were content to allow Davis
end. TO make nine points by three drop
kicks. The game is the irst Won by
ala Iowa team in the conference bat
Ties Of either the big nine" or the
Missouri Valley incidentally, the
dope reads that it Will be the last won
by any Iowa team in the big nine
unless Iowa accomplished the uneN-
pected and defeats Purdue.
Drake lost its second Missouri VAL
ley game but in way that did not
bring the disgrace of the loss TO the
Highlanders a week before. The KAN
sans are the second strongest team in
rhe Missouri Valley ana except for the
breaks when Kansas made a getaway.
the game was fairly even affair.
Kansas failed to gain ground thru the
Drake line except in the opening Of
the game when they scored a touch
down by straight football. One other
score came from an intercepted pass
and two others Were scored thru the
failure CT one man more than thru the
failure Of the Drake team. Drake now
has met the TWO strongest teams in the
Missouri; Valley and while the record
10 date has been one of disaster the
indications are the team Will be far
better one before the year is ended.

n the opinion Of the football critics
who watched the game they are not
as strong as last year, altho Rust is
given credit for being a better football
player than Bailey. Smoothness was
the especial characteristic Of the work
of the team. Surprises We're not re-
