Les MONIES, OCL. ll.-Salu.udy, OCl'
9, will go down in football history as
q sorry day for the players of the Big
Three of Iowa football. Ames, going
to Minnesota with a certainty Of be-
ing able to hold the mortimer, received
one OF the worst beatings in the his
tory Of the meetings between the two
schools; the state university team held
to low score and scored upon, and
Drake beaten by supposedly weak
aggregation are the fatalities of the
day. All in all the big Iowa schools
have nothing to crow over for the
weeks work and the hardest kind Of
work will be their portion in an at
tempt to retrieve part Of the disaster.
The result at Minnesota is shock
only to the Ames students, who be-
lieved that the coming Of a new coach
to the aggie school means new ath-
letic dynasty, one where triumph only
would reign. The men who knew tho
power of the Minnesota team and the
weakness at Ames, especially in the
forward wall were certain of the re-
suit, the size Of the score depending
upon the length of time Scion was used
to the limit. Minnesota did Ames the
honor of using this star all thru the
game and he largely Is responsible for
the showing. Morningside was reck-
oned last year as at least as strong as
any college team in Iowa. They also
are an experienced band and their
showing in defense was not surprise
to football; players thruout the state.
The fact that the Iowa line could not
hold them, however, was a distinct
surprise, a!tho the Iowa forwards are
not the stars of year ago.
Drake Was 0vsreonfidcnt.
Drake lost it's first game ever played
to Highland Park thru overconfidence.
None Of the Drake coaches had
watched the Highlanders and the
Drake players looked upon the game
as a practice scrimmake. The High
landers played everything they knew
and then some, while the Drake play
ers were content with a game Of tag
until defeat stared them in the face.
The Drake line, which outplayed Ne
braska week ago was battered from
end to end, more because they did not
try than from lack of ability. The
Highlanders also were handy with the
forward pass both Of their touchdowns
coming by this mode Of offense.
The single ray Of light from the
standpoint Of Iowa teams was the de-
feat OF Monmouth by Coe. The Cedar
Rapids team won on its merits but by
close score. Grinnell also gave
promise Of being able to make a show
ing against the out Of state teams
when it defeated Simpson by about the
same score at Simpson that Iowa State
College was able to make at Ames.
Cornell, fresh from its defeat at the
hands Of the state university, also
showed considerable strength in the
defeat Of Leander Clark.
Iowa Meets Northwestern.
Interest in the coming week centers
in the meeting Of the state university
team and Northwestern. This is the
first Of the big Nine" games of the
Iowa school. Drake meets the Univer-
sity of Kansas while Ames rests. The
big Nine battle is staged on Iowa
soil at Iowa City while the Missouri
Valley scrap is at Lawrence, Kan. Both
Iowa teams should show strong after
their negative showing Of Saturday.
None Of the teams represented is the
strongest in its respective organiza-
tons.
The games announced for the week
are:
Iowa VS.. Northwestern at Iowa City.
Drake VS.. Kansas at Lawrence.
Penn VS.. ST. Ambrose at Oskaloosa
Iowa Wesleyan VS.. Central at Mount
Pleasant.
