Iowa City. Nov. S.-Preliminary
work yesterday for the South Dakota

Of the varsity string left the field early
while Coach Jones engaged second and

ing them to the showers.
The sailof game battered up several
men little more than usual. Jewell
Iowa's well tried left tackle. received
severe strain in his right shoulder
and is carrying the arm in sling
since an examination revealed the SER
iousness of the injury. 1t seems GER
tain at present that the player will
not be in shape for the South Dakota
game this Saturday.
Laun is still carrying the marks OF
his unlucky scrimmage with the fresh
men last week, but it is thought that
he will be in shape to begin his season
on the Iowa team against the coyotes
at the end of the week.

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago. Nov. S.-Prospects that the
government crop report this afternoon
would show larger yield of corn than
was indicated month ago tended to-
day to weaken the corn market Besides
leading authorities asserted that signs
pointed to heavy marketing Of soft corn
despite efforts to have such grain util-
lied for feeding on farms. Mild tenn
peratures prevailing counted also as an
element Of weakness. Opening QUOTA
tions. which ranged from the same as
yesterdays finish to nc lower. with
December $1.1SA and May $1.1sA to
$1.14, were followed by material set
back all around.
Subsequently, New York stock mar
ket weakness associated with Keren-
sky's overthrow and with Russian
peace talk brought about much in
creased selling Of corn. and led to de-
cided additional downturns in prices
here. The close was nervous, &c to
2Mc net lower. with December s1.16B
and May SLIP to $1.12h.
Oats eased off with corn. Most of the
trade consisted of changing trades from
December to May.
Packers buying gave sharp lift to
provisions especially pork. Offerings
were scarce.

what the bunch really can do when it
is absolutely necessary, but the play
ers need this pep" and fighting spirit
through the entire game instead of by
spurts.
Wesleyan has been fortunate to get
new recruit this week. Whey, who
has been unable to get out because OF
his work, has finally joined the squad
and looks like good man. He for
meriy was tackle on the Kalamazoo,
Mich, normal team and is valuable
man right at this time because of his
experience. He is. showing up well
and will likely get chance in this
weeks game if he is limbered up by
that time.
There will be several changes in the
lineup next Friday. Mcintosh, whose
excellent work against Carthage was
prominent. will be strong bidder for
right end, and Dean will probably be
shifted to right tackle. Snider. who
has been playing fullback. is practic-
ing at left tackle and Hyzer has been
put in at left guard. The backfield will
likely remain the same as in last
weeks game.
