. team which the Gypsum town au-
thorities were In position to know was
possessed OF exceptional possibilities. !
Like the season of the smaller coll
leges. the play OF all the high schools
OF the state was little better than in
tho past. More good teams were In evt-
dence and the general standard OF play
was more nearly even than In the past.
1t Is probable that the high school
game OF the state could be immeasur-
ably strengthened by some central
board. whose duties II should be TO ad-
wise with the different managers OF the
state In the making out Of schedules.
u is certain the strong teams OF tho
state can not be foretold from year
TO year but II should be possible to get
4 wider play of the strong teams with
the present leaders Of the state SEQ
tons This course pursued year alter
year would result in better under
standing OF the strength OF the differ
rnt sections.

MANY TEAMS CLAIM TITLE.
Thanksgiving Games Fail to Clarity
High School Situation.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 1. Thanksgiving
day football games between the high
school teams of the state demonstrated
without question the strength of the
AigonaNteam, gave Sioux City victory
over the strong Lincoln, Neb.. team,
and forced MarShalltown to acknowi-
e6ge a tie with the Cedar Rapids ag-
81 esation. Fort Madison made good It's
title 10 the southeast honors,. Iowa City
placed itself in good position for the
year by defeating Dubuque, While Eas.
Waterloo won the dearest game on its
schedule, the annual battle With West
Oewein demonstrated It's strength
again and may meet Cresco in another
week to decided the strength CT the
sectional leaders.
In general the play OF the week
boosted the possibility OF Aigona being
considered the winners of the Iowa
high school title. Their defeat OF For,
Dodge was the first decisive defeat
given to the several schools in the run
ming in the last weeks of the season
Eliminating the games OF the first ha.f
OF the season. Algona has an easy
claim to state championship honors.
The pleading of their case would run
something Nike this: Algona defeated
Fort Dodge, 20 to Z. Fart Dodge tied
Sioux City. and Sioux City defeated
East Des Moines. East Des Moines in
turn tied West Des Moines. Both East
and West Des Moines defeated North
and the latter defeated Ames. Fort
Dodge also defeated Ames. Ames tied
Marshalltown, which in turn tied Cedar
RaEids and defeated Oskaoosa, these
two teams being able to trace defeats
to all Of the teams of eastern Iowa eX-
Cept the southeast.
Sioux City, Marshalltown and West
Des Moines still have the honors of
not being defeated during the season
but Of having played tie games. For.
Madison and Milford We're neither de-
feated nor tied but their strength can
:!or be determined because Of their
schedules being restricted to the best
teams of a small territory. 1t Is prob
able all of these five teams can find
definite claims to superiority while
Sioux City has the honor of playing 81
schedule which few :edms in the state
would care to attempt The sportsman
ship Of Fort Dodge also should be con
sidered as they mad everything to lose
and nothing to gain in playing Algona,

NAY BOYCOTT IOWA CITIES.
Streckfus Line Demanding Better
Freight Facilities.

davenport, Dec I.--unless more ad-
euuate facilities are provided before
the opening OF the 1911 navigation sea
son. for the handling of freight from
Dubuque. Prairie du Chen, Lansing,
McGresor and other northern points,
Strckfus steamers Will not respect con-
signments.
Such a declaration was made by this
company only after they had incurred
losses aggregating many thousands OF
dollars thru damage to perishaoie
goods which could not be protected
from the weather since in most cases
there we're no freight terminals.
Some of the cities on the upper river
have freight handling facilities that
are door and some have none at all.
The steamboat company has issued It's
ultimatum with the end in view OF
awakening the apparently stasnated
attitude taken by many OF these cities
with regard to river traffic. III beiieFes
that river cities may be brought 10 re-
alize in this way, their advantages over
inland cities.
The boycott of the river towns mem
toned will begin with the season OF
1917 unless improved facilities are OF
fered by that time. II is not lnprop-
able that other companies will fall ID
line in an effort to secure the necessary
freight houses and wharves. The boy
colt will not extend to passenger traf-
fc and will apply to freight only unth
the desired result has been achieved
1t was in reply TO letter of the Ad-
ans Express Company that the Streck-
fus company made it's open stand on
the matter. The company stated that
It will accept no freight to or from
DUBUQUE the coming season OF 1917 I'M
less we have terminal facilities, The
forward step taken by Davenport Is
cited by the company as very SHINING
example of what other cities should DE
doing They assert that this Is the
only method which will bring come
back in river trade.
