Review of Sports .......
and Athletic News

Marshalltown defeated Cedar Falls, IS
TO 0. This comparison might be taken
to mean that Maehalltown has a bet
ter claim to championship honors than
Mason City.
West Dss Moinss' Claim.
West Des Moines undoubtedly is one
of the stronger teams Of the state but
Its victory over Hampton, by a score
Of SO to 0, was no more impressive
than Marshalltown's showing, as Cedar
Falls and Hampton are generally con-
sidered In about the same class. Iowa
City's big score against Clinton, per-
haps, Is more impressive than either
performance.
Dubuque showed class by winning
from the strong West Waterloo team,
and may be rated, on comparative
scores, as the equal Of West Des
Moines. There Is. however, no way to
gauge the relative strength Of Sioux
City and Algona with the Des Moines
teams or Dubuque.
Marshalltown Has No Claim.
The Marshalltown eleven is making
no claim to the state championship, but
the local eleven is deserving of more
recognition than it ~ receiving. Its
claim last year was as good rs any
other school to title honors. and the
team this year Is fully as competent as
that of year ago. Coach and play
ers are content to let result speak for
themselves ana II any claims are made
they will be founded on scores and not
on the impressions gained by critics
as to what they may be able to do.
