DEFEAT OF AMES BY DRAKE \ WILL ENABLE COACH SOLEM’S > MEN TO WIN COVETED TITLE Bulldogs One Team in Conference Not to Be Defeated nor Tied Thus Far This Season and With Hard Drilling This Week Expect to Take the Iowa Aggies Into Camp. By Associated Press. Des Moines, la., Nov. 1.—Drake university, the only school in the Missouri Valley conference whose team has not been beaten or tied In a conference game this season, has an opportunity to win a clear title to the Valley football championship if it defeats Iowa State College of Ames at the Drake stadium Saturday at its homecoming celebration. Ames, victor over Missouri and Washington, has tied the Kansas Ag gies. A victory by Drake would thus eliminate those four teams at one stroke. More than t\iat, Kansas and Missouri have both tied Nebraska, and Nebraska has beaten Oklahoma, so a Drake victory would put Ne braska and Oklahoma out of the ruu nins and also eliminate Kansas. Drake beat its traditional state and c< inference rival, Grinnell, last Satur day by a 41-to-0 score. Last year Drake went thought its schedule for the season unbeaten, and scor d victories over Grinned, Ames and Kansas in the Missouri valley, so tl t it had a joint claim with the undefeated Nebraska tenm for the valley title, although Nebraska's team was generally conceded to be the stronger. _ This week, aware of their oppor-1 tunity to win an undisputed cham pionship, the Drake football players under Coach Ossie Solem sure work ing hard to get ready for the game to which they have been pointed all season—that against Ames Saturday. In a lecture last night Coach Solem impressed upon his men that the Ames team Is a dangerous team, apt to score several touchdowns against the best teams in the country, and a worthy foe for the Bulldogs. The prospects are that Drake's lineup Saturday will be the same as in the Grlnnell game, unless Anibe ’ine, regular guard, is able to play his position in the line, following in juries received early in the season. Orebaugh will start at quarterback. Captain Boelter and Enright, prob ably, at the halves, and McLuen at fullback. Doncarlos, husky sopho more center who has played so well thus far, will hold down the pivot po sition again, and Henry will handle one guard. Gharret will play the other guard unless Ambeline is in shape; Krueger and Stocking, both veterans, will handles the tackles, and Sloan and Dingenfelter will play the ends. Great Crowd Is j Expected at Game Alumni From Three States to See Iowa-Michigan Tilt. Iowa City, la., Nov. 1.—Intense riv alry, brewed from a tie for B.g Ten football honors last year, promises to make the crowd for the Iowa-Michl gan game here at 2 p. m. Saturda> one of the largest ever to assemble on Iowa field. Athletic officials are congratulating themselves on having seats for all comers in the 30,000 capacity stadium. Special trains will bring their quo tas of Iowa and Michigan part.sans from Burlington, Des Moines, Water loo, Moline, Omaha, Council Bluffs, Keokuk, and Ann Arbor. Good road conditions promise a heavy influx of gridiron fans by automobile. Michigan fans are planning rallies In Davenport, Kansas City, Omaha. Chicago and various other cities on the eve of the game. A huge mass meeting will be held here Friday eve ning as a noisy expression of con fidence In Iowa’s success. Among the Wolverine invader* will be Mason C. Rummey of Detroit, presi dent of the Detroit Steel Products company, and president of the Michi gan Aumni association. The asso ciation's secretary, Wilford Shaw of ' Ann Arbor, Mich., Is also coming. Other guests will include Lieut. Gov. John Hammlll of Iowa, an Iowa alumnus: Hanford MacNlder, former commander of the American legion, and h s father, G. H. MacNider, both the Burlington (la.) Hawkeye; R. W. the Burlington, la., Hawkeye; R. W. Cassady, state secretary of agricul ture. Followers of the Hawkeyes look upon the Illinois affair here home • coming day as the last game that Iowa will lose this year and a lot of confidence is placed In Coach Howard Jones’ ability to whip a green and crippled team into such shape that, it can defeat Michigan which is expected to bring its famed triple threat trio of Klpke, Ut'-rltz and Stegervhere intact. In fact Iowa fans are already considering Coach Jones’ development of this year's eleven as the greatest feat of his great coaching career. Receiver Is Sought for Kansas City Speedway Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 31.—An In voluntary petition in bankruptcy was filed In the federal court against the Kansas City Speedway association. Insolvency is charged and a receiver is requested. The action, according to Senator A L. Cooper, who filed the petition, was the result of a plan to reorganize the company. The association owns a one and one-fourth-mile board auto mobile race track here. Ames and Drake Clash Saturday Des Moines, la.. Nov. 1.—After scoring comparatively easy victories over Grinnell and Washington, the Drake university Bulldogs and the Ames Cyclones are priming this week for their important clash at the sta dium here next Saturday. November 3, in the Iowa gridiron classic of the year. Both Ames and Drake have strong teams this year, and they appear to be evenly matched. A great battle should result, therefore, when they clash in the stellar event of the an nual Drake homecoming program. Winning over Cornell, the Rolla School of Mines and Grinnell, Coach Solem's Drake eleven has not been forced to expose its aerial attack or trick plays. The Bulldogs, as a re sult, will have a number of real sur prises to spring on the Cyclones, and with Captain Boelter, McLueh, Ore haugh, Enright, Spears, Sloan, Head, Sparks and Ling* nfelter available to carry the ball, the Blue and White gridders most surely will test the defense that Coach Willaman has developed for his Ames team. Willaman, who learned his foot ball at Ohio, under Coach J. W. Wilce, is reported to have developed a baf fling forward pasa attack which he hopes will puzzle the Bulldogs and lead to an Ames victory, to avenge the 14 to 7 defeat that the Bulldogs handed the Cyclones last year. Coach Solem will devote much of his time this week to coaching his Drake war riors how to stop the aerial and ground attack of the Behn brothers. Roberts, Anderson, and the other Ames stars. If the weather continues favorable, it is estimated that a crowd of 10,000 football fans will witness the Drake Ames game Saturday. Tickets are being gobbled up rapidly. Ames stu dents have reserved a block of 2,000 seats and they will be on hand en masse to cheer for their favorites. Scores of Iowa school teachers, In at tendance at their annual convention here, are expected to help swell the crowd. Special temporary stands are being erected to care for the out pouring of fans expected at this grid iron classic. Zev Largest Purse Winner New York, Nov. 1.—Zev, the idol of American turfdom, departs today for Latonia, Ky., there to decide on Saturday the mooted question wheth er he or My Own has the faster legs. The nemesis of Britain’s favorite. Papyrus, will appear in the $50,000 Latonia championship, In which My Own also is entered. Zev topped off his triumphant ca reer yesterday by showing his heels to the field, winning by four lengths the autumn championship of the met ropolitan racing season at Empire City. Incidentally the great horse won in this race $5,160 increasing his total winning to $260,096, more than $10,000 greater than Man o'War’s.

Heavyweights Fight Tomorrow By DAVID J. WALSH. New York, Nov. 1.—The business of building up the "Build ups'* for what promises to be the greatest money yenr for the heavyweight fist, will begin at Madison Square Gar den tomorrow night when Floyd Johnson and Jack Renault meet for IS rounds or less. Neither is a first class contender but the man scoring a knockout would become one auto matically, If not actually. The pa;r In question are second raters today, but one of them may be hailed as a champlon-ln-prospect tomorrow. It is In this promiscuous manner that affairs of the fist are conducted. That is the reason for the Renault Johnson bout—the "Smoke-up” of another Dempsey victim. The win ner, provided he shows anything, will then be sent on to Tom Gibbons and if he gets no further, ail well and good. Gibbons will then be estab lished as one of the ''logical” con tenders. it being quite immaterial that Tom haa already attended to this matter personally. Du s Firpo and Harry Wills are the others. Firpo probably will be sent Into the ring for a second Dempsey bout without further preamble. This match Is what Is known as a ''nat ural” and needs no artificial aid. Wilta, of course, will hover in the background in the role of peronnlal contender but will hardly be coun tenanced. The writer has main tained from the first that a Dempsey Wills bout will never be held in the east. Perhaps, however, John Renault win have to come along fast enough in the meantime to figure in the sum mer harvest. Wo are pleased to doubt It. Johnson is as tough as a night In Jail, but larks the punch to say noth ing of ring sense. Renault, a fairly gifted Individual with a punch that haa laid low many during the past season, Frederick Face-down Fulton, Included, seems to be none too In trepid when the bouts become too rough. It Is because of this that we favor Johnson to win, although Renault is esteemed a 7 to 5 favorite. It la our Idea that Johnson's Jaw will prove harder than Renault’s punch.

Nov. 1.—With three conference victories In the back ground. the Columbus college football team will Journey to Storm Lake, la., Saturday to play Buena Vista college. Buena Vista showed they had real strength when they defeated Morning side, a contender for the North Cen tral championship, by a 6 0 score last week. The Columbus Mariners came through their first game with Kast ern State normal Saturday without any serious injuries, and they hope to be able to put their full strengtn in the field Saturday, according to Coach McCormick. Murray, F. Long, and Scratik should be back 1A condition, giving the locals three strong back field mn. The men have been out on account of Injuries. Wermers, first string guard, is still out with a bad knee, and it is probable that he will not be able to play again this year. "Columbus will give a good account of Itself In Saturday’s game, and have an even chance to win,” Coach Me Cormlck said. The feature of the local play this year, according to tha coach, has been the filling of position by reserves. Kostel, Srhllx, Llndecugel, Davis and O’Leary have performed in great style in the backfleld when called on. Chris tenson. Duggan, Heckenllabl* and Hoache have been going well In the line. Schmidt, giant tackle, will be eligible for the Buena Vista game. I and will strengthen the line consider ably. Columbus has two remaining game* on Its schedule. On Saturday. Novem her 16, the squad meets Southern Normal at Springfield and play the strong Augustana team November 25 This should be on* of the deciding games for the conference title. South Ready for Tech Came A grilling skull practice was the menu handed out to the South High gTidsters by Coach Patton, In pre paration for the South High-Tech High game Friday. It consisted of a series of questions, comments, and criticisms, by Coaches Patton and Lowry, and lasted about 45 minutes.

Gibbons swung a diplomatic coun ter by saying, "After looking you over, governor. I’m not sure I'd want to take you on.” The ex-challenger, who we* intro duced to the governor by Georg* Koe ter, head of the state athletic* bureau. and a friend of Gibbons, had been duck hunting near this city. “Boxing is a great sport,” Governor Bryan said, 'T used to do a little of it myself.” Stiff Game Ahead of Illini Squad Urbana. 111.. Nov. 1.—Illinois faces one of Its stilfest battles of the sea son Saturday when Coach A. Stags brings his Chicago eleven to Urbana to play the first game In the new Illinois memorial stadium, before a homecoming crowd expected to exceed 80,000. Coach Bob Zuppke's principal task this week has been that of strength ening his line and drilling fumbling tendencies out of the backfleld. While the Northwestern backs were unable to do anything of consequence through the Illinois wall last Satur day at Chicago, the Illini coach con aiders this rather the result of their weakness on offense rather than any great improvement in the play of his forwards. Coach Zuppke has not yet found a satisfactory pair of tackles, but It Is probable that Mush Crawford or Gil Roberts, who started the game last Saturday, will go In at the beginning against Chicago. Dock Hall, who was out of the Northwestern game, due to Illness, will probably be available for one tackle Job against Chicago. Despite their successful assault on the Purple eleven, the work of the Illinois backfield men can l>e consid erably Improved, principally In the line of fumbles. Illinois used a number of substi tute backs after Red Grange's three touchdown* had brought a safe lead over Northwestern, and this has resulted In the discovery of at least one effective backfleld man who has been sitting on the sidelines for three years wdthout a chance of getting into the game. Bill Hansen, a senior, got his first passing chance when he was sent in at Earl Britton's place at full hack. His passing was effective and his punts traveled well, but they start ed too slow to losure against block !ng by a more powerful line. Showings In previous games this season Indicate that both Illinois and Chicago will score. Each lias a t>"W erful backfleld. the Orange and P.lue depending principally upon Grange s running and his reception of Brit ton's passe*, while Chicago has scored through the plunging of the Thomas brothers and Zorn, with Jim my Pyott's speed as an additional threat. • In addition to the ambition to beat an old rival and to remain In the conference race for football honors, Illinois will be t«attllng to establish a tradition by winning the first game It plays In It* new stadium.
