Another school has at last placed
Itself in position to be one of the con
tenders for the Missouri Valley cham
pionship this year, and that 1b Drake.
It upBCt nil dope when they won from
Kansas last Saturday, and according
to the Iowa papers the race will be
decided when Ames and Drake meet
November 23. The Drake team has a
whirlwind of a backfield, and although
the line 1b light it Is fast and withheld
the attacks of the Kansas backB time
after time In the punting the Jay
hawkers were out punted an average of
seven yards to each kick.
Ames, one of the strongest contend
ers, effectually put the Tigers out of
the race when they defeated them 29
to 0 The explanation the Missouri
coaches give is that they were lacking
in quarterbacks The Tigers have been
well fixed for quarterbacks this year,
but at the time of the Ames game all
of them were more or less injured and
could not follow the pace set by the
rest of the team.
The Oklahoma game is not bother
ing the Tiger coaches much, but they
are quite anxious to obtain revenge for
the 14 to 6 defeat handed thorn laBt
year by the Sooners. The Missouri
management is planning on a big home
coming day on the date of the Nebras
ka game, next Saturday. A big ban
quet will be held the night before, and
they are laying plans to hand the Corn
luiBkers a good walloping.
Another school has yet to be con
sidered in the Valley race, and that Ib
Washington She has won all of her
games except that with Illinois, and
she gave that team a hard game. Drake
will meet Washington a week from to
day, and that contest will eliminate

gressive, and also very tricky, and
take losts of chancers in their style of
play.
These three aforementioned schools,
together with Nebraska, will In all
probability finlBh the race for the
championship.
To do this Coach Jumbo Stlehm will
have to put hlB proteges through the
conference games at their top speed In
order to register in the comparative
scoring systems. This means that Mis
souri will have to be beaten more than
29 points, and KansaB will also have to
suffer defeat by a large score. The

Men In Good Form.
The fall tennis tournament was fin
ished yesterday when WMlianic won
from Meyer, 8-6, 6-3, 6-1 The contest,
though well matched, was at all times
In the hands of WIUiaiiiR. He played a
brilliant game and showed good form
from the very beginning. Meyer,
though he has not had the pi act ice
that Williams has, played a fast but
careful game.
In the first set most of the games
were "deuce," giving the advantage in
the ond to Williams In the last two
sets Meyers seemed to lose Bpeed.
Both contestants are from Peru Nor
mal, where for Beveral years thoy have
played both with and against each
other. Last year Meyers won from
Williams in the finals of a tournament
played at Omaha.
In yesterday's games both men used
brilliant and fast serves, Williams win
ning out only by his chop strokes and
volleys. Neither of the players used
the "Lawford" to any extent

Follow the trail Like all trails, It
leads to many different places. Last
year It led Into the past, besides the
cainpflre and wigwam of the redman.

SIGNAL DRILL LAST NIGHT ENDS
WEEK'S PRACTICE.
ADRIAN SENDS HUSK SQUAD
Three Regulars Out of Cornhusker
Lineup Afternoon Game to Lo

for Coaches.
The Cornhusker machine, with Coach
Stlehm at the wheel, Is ready for the
contest with the strong Adrian team
Mils afternoon at 15 o'clock The Ne
braska team finished Its week's prac
tice with a snappy signal drill on the
athletic field They were rewarded for
their good practice by an early dis
missal and the field was turned over
to the Adrian team at Pi o'clock. Tho
Adrian squad arrived at 3 30 over tho
Hock Island yesterday afternoon and
at once went to the Llndell Hotel. Tho
squad is a husky looking biiucli and

They were pretty well worn out by
their long Journey, but entered their

They have fond hopes of holding tho
Scarlet and Cream team to a closo
Ing his position at end.
The game will determine whether or
not the Gopher contest had any effect
upon the playing of the Cornhusker
Hue In practice they have shown
more aggressiveness, and if they are
working good this afternoon should
experience no difficulty Willi tho
Adrianites. The weight of the visitors
is not as great as the Huskers, but
their backfield more than makes up
for it.
The Scarlet "and Cream backfield is
not worrying the coaches any at pres
ent. With two men for each position,
the backfield problem has solved itself
and the coaches have turned their at
tention to the forwurds. ,
Although the game this afternoon
will not spell anything in the Missouri
Valley conference, it wiH give tho
coaches more of a line on the weak
nesses of the team. A big score will
not be run up even if it is possible, for
the men will be saved for the contest
with the Tigers next week at Colum-
