Ohio State and Iowa. who fought out
this years championship.
The eastern invasion OF Chicago,
which resulted in a 9 to O triumph
over Princeton, has started 4 move
ment for east VS.. west games next

Will arrange a game with Yale to be
played in the east. Illinois is negotiat-
ing for a am with a Representative
southern eleven to be played IN Mem

a game with Vanderbilt for the sec

Followers Of the. Championship
Hawkeyes are planning a wonderful
schedule for Iowa, but Coach Jones
is laughing up his sleeve at the pro-
posais. @ =

tude that Iowa must at once assn mr.

great Misunderstanding OF conditions
in the Big Ten and Of the methods
employed; In: working: out schedules.

cause Iowa had a successful team,
Just now Iowa takes particular inter

Chicago substituted Princeton for
Iowa on its schedule for 1921. How

Ohio Wesleyan and Oberlin are the
two oldest foes in Ohio States foot.
