Special to Times-Republican.


ton of the country and at the present
| time is negotiating for a game with
Fort Dodge to give definite settlement
to the north central Iowa title. West
DeS MoineS has only the light East
Des Moines team in the way of the
right to claim an indicated season, a
season in which it has met only one
good team, Fort Dodge.
The week end was a sad one for the
claimants for honors. Sioux City was
lucky to get tie with Fort Dodge al
tho in the last half it was far the
better team. Marshalltown took the
Oskaloosa team into camp by one
sided score while Dubuque, undefeated
as yet, lost close game to East Wa
terloo. Against Sioux City the Fort
Dodge team played the game it looked
capable OF playing but did not deliver
against West High, while in the sec
ond half Sioux City opened up the
game they did not need in their battle
with East Des Moines The battle at
Fort Dodge had more the earmarks OF
real football than any meeting of good
teams yet this year.
Boost For Aisona Eleven.
1t is the belief of a good many men
in close touch with football conditions
in the northern half of the state that
too little attention has been paid to
the Algona team. The latter is a new
conner among the better class teams.
It's players have had a competent coach
but for two seasons and do not yet
have the inside knowledge that comes
from several years Of system. However,
they are powerful if inexperienced and
any team which can meet Ames, Burt,
Spencer. Emmettsburg, Mason City,
Webster City, Humboldt and Eagle
Grove without having a drop kick or
touchdown scored against 1t, Is entitled
to consideration. The single marker
against the team is the two points
scored Friday by Eagle Grove. If a
meeting IL arranged with Fort Dodge. a
team which knows infinitely more foot
ball, it will give true indication Of
Agona's real strength.
The card of the week is not espe-
cially interesting. Sioux City will try
conclusions with an out of state team
meeting Omaha high on Its own grid
IRON. Dubuque and Clinton will meet
In game for the leadership OF the
river with the exception of Fort Mad
ison, Davenport and Iowa City will
meet at Iowa City in a game which
should go to the university town lads
The big game in central Iowa will be
the meeting Of Fast and West Des
Moines at the Drake stadium. While
West Is not playing the brand Of foot
ball displayed by East, their expecta-
ton 1s to sweep the field with their
greater weight. Both teams have had
two weeks layoAr for the game and
should be in at condition physically.

Teams Play Hard Schedules.
On Thanksgiving day. Sioux City will
have finished the hardest schedule ever
attempted by an Iowa high school
Many of the smaller schools Of the
state have attempted as hard schedules
in comparison with their material but
the Sioux played nine games with the
best they could find Clinton, For
Dodge and Davenport also played
schedules which gave them few breath
ing spells. the Clinton team playing
the large majority Of its games or
foreign fields, q hard course for any
band Of high school boys. as they art
more susceptible to the psychology Of
| unfamiliar and antagonistic support
than are the college players. For
! Madison. Oskaloosa and Marshalltowr
played their usual schedules but the
exceptional strength Of the teams rep
resenting these schools made theil
schedules look easy in comparison will
| the past Ames high also can bs
classed with the teams that played al
! they could find, altho they played tieil
| hardest games in mid season.
