cleared the way for two definite
championship battles The first will
be the meeting of Iowa and Ames
at Ames, Nov. Is, in which the two
undefeated teams Of the state will
meet. The second will be the meet
ing Nov. "a between Grinnell and
Cornell in which the two indicated
teams of the Iowa conference will
meet. One great big stumbling block
is in the way of both of these sattles.
One Is the Ames- Morningside battle
next Saturday and the other Is the
oe-Cornell scrap of week later.
Both of these games are liable to
spell disaster to definite battling.
Supporters of Ames are liable not to
like the suggestion that Morningside
might figure in the running, but the
ract remains that the Sioux City
team is capable of giving Ames a
real argument especially as it had an
easy game Friday against Nebraska
Wesleyan. Last year the score was
to 0 and this year the Morningside
bunch has been more band Of fire.

The Coe-Cornell game also is liable
to mix up the dope in the Iowa con-
ference, but in all events there will
be definite championship, the
elimination of Highland Park leaving
the decision Of the title between Coe,
already defeated, Grinnell and Cor
nell. Cornell showed the greatest
surprise of the week in the way its
line got the jump on the Highland
Park line and made the work Of the
backs easy. Hartwell also opened the
eyes of the Des Moines rooters al
though he was closely watched by
the Highland ends. The game took
an overabundance of time, and the
last quarter was contested almost as
much by moonlight as by daylight
