  FOOTBALL BOOMS In AWKEYEDOM Saturday, Results of Interest to the Enthusiasts in Compar- ing Relative Standings. Special to The journal. ar ~ : IDes Moines, Iowa, Oct. 1S.-saturday’s foot ball results of great interest to enthusiasts In the state IN the way of giving a line on how the season may end. brakes victory over Coe by the overwhelmtpg score of IS to o causes Coe stock to fall and raises new hopes for Drake. When Iowa was able to score only six points against Coe, and then piled up seventeen against Drake. the blue and white colors dropped Coe is now considered back in the class of second-rate college teams of the state. Simpson of Indianola came near losing it’s prestige for the season by the game Saturday. Des Moincs college, never up to this year rated | with the big schools, held Simpson to tie score OF IL to- -. This Is not very surprising, ! however, Des Moines won from Coe two weeks ago Normal has enhanced its chances | for displacing Simpson in the ‘‘big fve’‘ by winning from Cornell, the school which held Grinnell to tie at 5 to 5 score. The feature Of the season is the strength Of | the teams which have heretofore been called No. rs. Des Moines college bids fair to gain a higher college class next season. Normal may Dust either Simpson or Grinnell from the ‘‘big FIVE and change the winners map of the sea- son. Iowa is likely to be state champion this season, but 1T has no firm grip upon the place. The Ames cyclones may spoil it all. Ames held Minnesota to a score OF ten In the first, half | Saturday and demonstrated considerable | strength. No expected Ames at Its very | best, to hold the gophers’ score below 40. Ames plays with both Iowa and Drake this year, and by winning the two games can claim the state championship without any roorbacks. No other teams will be formidable opponents for the hon or. Drake bids fair to fall before the cyclones on Thanksgiving Day. Drake has less encouragement from the students and faculty than any team in the state. Altho there is fine new field here, the games are not well attended, and only half audience witnessed the open | ing of the new stadium and heard Governor Cum. | Minis address two weeks ago. | The high school championship of Iowa is likely to be decided when East high of Des Moinea meets Ida Grove Saturday. Ida Grove has not lost game; neither has East high. East high has played stronger teams, but has had some close games. Capital Park, Des Moines, | lost to East high by q score of only ~ to 0. | West high is outclassed by several schools in smaller towns this year. Parora, Waterloo and | Boone have good elevens
