Friday games Highland won from
Simpson and Des Moines from Parsons
while Iowa Wesleyan got into the run
ming as a winner by trouncing the
team from Christian College at Canton,
Mo. All of the teams mentioned
closed their schedules during the week
and their work for the year IL ended.
Drake and Ames rested for their an
nual battle, which after being Sat-
urday attraction for six years returns
to a Thanksgiving day classic.
Iowa Closes 0isasterous Season.
The game at Lincoln closed the
coaching career at the state univer-
sity OF Jess Hawley as well as one Of
the worst seasons in the history of the
school. The Nebraksa Cornhuskers
were seeking recognition in big nine"
circles and were successful in their at
tempt to better the score of Minnesota
against Iowa. The Gopher score was
81 to Is; that OF Nebraska 81 to Z. The
great running ability of Chamberlain
was the, deciding factor in the high
count as he circled the, Iowa ends al
most at Will. The Iowa line was better
than in some other games and did not
succumb to the attack of the Nebraska
forwards as it did before the line of
Minnesota Hawley in the years he has
been at Iowa has been the most sue
cessful coach the Hawkeyes have ever
had. During this season he has not had
the material to make team and a
number of the men have not shown the
fight to make winners. He also has
been handicapped by injuries and is
responsible for the statement that but
for the work of Jack Watson, the last
three games of the Iowa schedule
would have been cancelled because of
lack of team to play.
Iowa Teams Closely Matched.
The Iowa conference season ended
with Grinnell first. Coe second and
Highland Park and Cornell tied for the
third place. These four teams are
very even aggregations. Grinnell and
Coe are primarily offensive elevens.
Highland Park and Cornell are defen-
sive. The four teams also probably
comprise the best four teams ever pre-
sented by similar number of colleges
in the state. Without taking any Of
the credit away from Grinnell for lead
ing or from Coe for being second, it
seems probable that if the four teams
could play a round robin, meeting each
OtneF Oh successive SATURDAYS, tndl
neither team would win clear title.
This Is. Of course. considering the High
land Park team as it played, not under
the eligibility rules of the Iowa con-
ference. Coe made the best showing
of the four teams. winning from Nom
mouth, the champion team of the
little five" conference of Illinois anc
Wisconsin Grinnell won from Belolt,
a team which did not score a point
all season but made poorer showing
than Cornell against Carleton. High
land Park did not play outside of the
state.
Interest in the Hawkeye conference
title centers in Dubuque where Du-
buque Germans and Dubuque College
will battle for the supremacy. The
other schools OF the conference have
failed to make showing against these
teams, in fact the other teams of the
conference seem to be weaker than in
previous years. The Germans have the
better record to date but the way dope"
has been spilled this year, this would
seem to presage victory for the Cath
olics. coached by Charles Dorais. John
