Des Moines, Oct. 24.-The defeat Of
Davenport, the elimination Of all of the
Des Moines high schools but West, and
the showing of Marshalltown and Fort
Dodge were the central impressions Of
the football played by the high school
teams OF the state Saturday. Daven-
port met defeat before its river cousin.
Dubuque. team which did not fare
well in the state rating last year but
which has played consistent football
thus far this year. Oskaloosa proved
its right to be counted as strong by
trouncing East Des Moines, while Mar
shalltown and Fort Dodge made door
mats Of supposedly strong teams.
The showing to date allows Fort
Madison, Dubuque and possibly Clinton
to be the. representatives of the river
section, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids and
Marshalltown making the best showing
in the next section, with washington
showing well far to the south and with
aOskaloosa having its territory to the
west of Washington. Central Iowa mas
West Des Moines and Fort Dodge as
it's indicated teams with Ames a close
second because of its showing against
Fort Dodge. On paper, Sioux City now
looks like the only bet among western
Iowa elevens., Atlantic being tied Dy
Adair, Saturday, while Council BluHS
is still an unknown quantity. There are
many teams indicated In the state but
their showing has not been such that
it would be well to class them as the
first class football aggregations even
Of sections.
Decisive Games Saturday.
The week end will witness especial
football activity among the teams OF
eastern Iowa. Clinton will make it's
bid against Davenport and the game
will show whether it must be consld-
cred with Fort Madison and Dubuque
in the river rating. Washington will
meet Fairfield while a game which
should be a. beauty, on dope, is the
meeting Of Cedar Rapids and Iowa
City. Marshalltown and East Water
loo also will furnish struggle worth
going to see. Except for upsets, but
one other fgameSi Is Of Importance. that
of West Des Moines against West Wa
terloo. While it is not thought that the
Waterloo team can stop the material
pitted against them, the game will fur
nis,h basis for comparison Of the
teams OF that section Of the state with
the teams OF central Iowa. (, 8
May Not Determine Title.
There is little to indicate at the
present time that definite high school
cha nlpionship will be available at the
end OF the season. If Clinton Is the
~ OF RI.
ing Of eastern and western Iowa will
be determined by the Sioux. sCity;
Clinton struggle. Fort Dodge and Sioux
City will meet and Fort Dodge and
West Des Moines. but it is not likely
defeats will be SO administered that
there will be clear championship
among these teams, not to mention
Dubuque, Fort Madison, Marshall
town, the winner Of the Iowa City
Cedar Rapids battle, Oskaloosa and
other teams which may go thru the
season without having their record tar
nished. The fact that West Des
Moines, in the center Of the state,
meets but one Of the teams named
shows some one is bungling IN making
cut the local high school schedule.
