ANlES. Ia.. Nov. 22.-The Missouri Valley conference football champion shin almost within it's grasp, the Drake University team stubbed its toe on its final. Iowa College, and went down in defeat 10 to 0 on Ames field here to- day.
 The Ames victory, their third con ference win and Drake's only defeat, came in the final quarter by virtue of Il field goal and touchdown. It was the final conference game for each team. Norton and Johnny Behm, Ames left half and quarterback, were the stars of the game. Of the 2S0 yards gained bv AmnS in scrmmage, Norton Behm carried the ball 1SS and his brother GS wards. The sure passing of Roberts, right half was responsible for Il large part of the yardage, however.
 Even Battle Tho game was evenly played and hard fought during the first three periods, with Drake paving slight edge. Ip the final quarter the Cyclones got thcir powerful offense going and with the bail on Drake's l9-yard line, Roberts kicked field goal. Taking the bail iu the middle of the field few minutes later Roberts heaved the oval .!2 yards to Norton Behm and on the next play repeated the performance for x yards and Il touchdown. Ames was rcnnlized 100 yards and Drake 20 for unnecessary roughness. The Drake team left tonight for Gainesville, Fla, where it meets

 The downpour, which started last night and broke q local drought of two months, abated for time at midday and hopes of a clear sky were lifted. But an hour before the opening kick off the rain was renewed and attained the proportions of gale at times which it kept up throughout the game. Thou sands huddled in the entrance ways until the opening whistle then dashed to their seats determined to brave the clements at all costs but the torrent had the effect of keeping few thousand seats empty on the fringes of the bowl.
 Ball Slippery.
 On the field the players hattlcd against the heavy handicaps imposed by the weather as well as against their opposition. but in the final analysis the breaks attributable to the difficulty in handling the slippery ball were about evenly divided.

Council Decides

MOULTRIE, Ga, March 10
Moultrie is using power generated
by the municipality owned steam
plant now as the result of the ac-
ton of city council in
passing resolution stopping the
further purchase of hydro-electric
energy from the Baker County
Power Company. The city officials
took the step on the ground that the
corporation failed to take over the
steam plant here and keep it ready
for service in case of an emergency
as it obligated itself to do when it
entered into a contract with Moul-
trie in June 1922.
Since the washing away Of part
of the Baker County Power COM
pany's dam across Nochaway Greek

while the repairs were being made.
1t had been furnishing Moultrie
with hydro-electric energy through
an agreement with the Georgia-Ala-
bama Power Company. The lines
of the two companies crossed near
Camilla and the transfer was made
at that point.
The contract between the city and
the company was to have remain
ed in force for a period of twenty
years.

WASHINGTON, March 10
The scrambled state of affairs in
Washington, mental, governmental
and political, could not be better
illustrated than by the fact that it
is actually suggested that the presE
Dental election this fall may result
in the choice of a president of one
political party and vice president
of another!
Perhaps you think that isn't pos
sible. But it is. Not only possible
say some who have analysed the
situation, but even not not improba-
BILE, owing to the present lineup up
in the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives. Here's the way they
figure it:
With both Republican and Dem
ocrats in only fair favor with a
great body of voters the possibility
that Independent presidential ticket,
carrying half dozen or more mid
die western states will swing a
sufficient block of electors to pre-
vent either of the older parties from
having a clear majority is ad-
mitted.
This would throw the election in
to Congress. And the present Con-
gress, not the one to be elected this
fall, would decide.
In a deadlock for the presidency
and vice presidency, the House Sc
lects the president, the Senate the
vice president.
In the House the vote must be
by states, the majority of each state
delegation determining how that
states one BALLOT shall be cast.
In the Senate the vote is cast in
dividually, each member voting his
own choice as on any Senate roll
call.
In the present Congress, the Re-
publicans have a majority in %
of the 48 states delegations in the
House-two less than a clear ma
jority, even including Wisconsin,
North Dakota and Minnesota.
The Democrats control 10 state
delegations, including New York
which they swing by the narrow ma,
jority of one.
Six states are tied, as between
Democrats anod Republicans, in
their House members.
In this situation, andefenite
deadlock might be maintained.
Senatorially, the problem is no
less serious. On its face, the SEN
ate is composed of 81 Republicans,
as Democrats and 2 Farmer-Labor
members. But among the 81 Re-
publicans are counted Brookhart,
Norris, Ladd, Frazier and LaFcl-
lette, who are more Independent

BIGGER CHAMBER

MACON, Ca, March 13.-An in

The total budget recommended
amounted to $4,82O. Of the in

that the money be used for indus
