  HIGHLAND PARK AND CORNELL ELEvENs DEFEATED BY AMES AND IOWA. BOTH HAVE GOOD TEAMS BUT ARE oUTcLAssED Result Indicates That State University and State College Have iFormid- Ames Considered Most Encouraging --Iowa’s Back Field Shows Speed. Des Moines, Oct. 9.--The Iowa foot oall situation was not especially clarifed Saturday Highland Park and Cornell both accorded the honor Of having good teams before the season started, were eliminated from further consideration for the first honors Of the state. Drake did not show as well as year ago against the University Of Nebraska. Grinnell made an impress sive showing against the Simpson team and. Iowa had little trouble with Cornell. Morningside again demon strated its class among the minor col leges by defeating State Normal by about twice the score of the defeat of the latter by Ames, and Dubuque scored an easy victory. Considering the game from every angle, Ames made the best showing of the day. They We’re playing a team which critics who have watched it declare is too far advanced for this season Of the year. The first string men had stamina enough to win before they were replaced SO it was not a question Of new blood but simply that the Ames men were better than the far better trained and conditioned Highlanders. The game was a good one for the Aggies to win as it will give them confidence for the harder games Of the schedule. Drake looked good most OF the time against Nebraska but In ability to hold the ball cost them heavily. Most of the Cornhusker scores were made on long runs, Glaze not having yet developed the pair Of erls he has been seeking. The game showed some Of the Drake veterans would have to be replaced by the youngsters to get defensive ability in the back field. Iowa Backs Are Fast. The state university developed good open field work In the game against Cornell while Grinnell, playing the weakest material ever on college team in the state ran over Simpson to their hearts content. Jones seems to have found some speed for the Iowa back field and II he can develop his line to give the light back field some protection. will have a good team for the state contests. Grinnell has practtcally the Same team as a year ago and thus tar they have looked good 1t should b borne IN mind that they have met probably tho two weakest teams ever presented by the colleges OF the state. Two battles are scheduled for the coming week. One will go far towards simplifying the state championship. The other 10 a game of importance in tho Missouri valley. Grinnell and Iowa viii meet for the first time IN years at the state university town. On their showing to date It will be merely q question Of the capability Of the Hawkeye ends. II they can drive tho Grtnnell runners to the. inside the state players have nothing to fear. If they can not, Watt may run them “a gged GrinneI1 supporters are determined to win and will Journey to Iowa City next Saturday IN large numbers. Ames and Kansas will have their first meeting on the gridiron on the state college campus. Kansas failed to get some OF its players back from the border and their showing against Illinois was not of the best The game promises to be fought out between the lines Of the opposing elevens. Important High School Games. The high school football games of the present week include by far the best Offering thus far Of the year.
