will suffer, in the opinion of local
educators.

) rushing the ball and taking ad
vantage of the breaks In the first half.
The Hawkeyes displayed a bran 1 of
line bucks and forward passes in the
firs i lew minutes of play which com
pletely bewildered the Cornhuskers
and at the same time netted the gold
and black two touchdowns. The
teamwork displayed in Iowa's early
offensive was an outstanding feature
of the contest.
The Hawkeyes were favored with
all the breaks of the game. Iowa
scored the first touchdown five min
utes after the klck-o:. Early In the
first quarter, Iowa was forced to punt
by the Cornhusker defense. Nebras
ka, instead of receiving the ball, was
penalized fifteen yards for offside
beyond the place where Iowa re
covered the ball. This break gave
the ball to Iowa on Nebraska's left
side lor first down. On the next
play, A. Devine caught a pass from
G. Devine and raced around right
end for twenty yards.
Gain on Fumble
Slater, Iowa's colored tackle, paved
the way for Iowa's second touch
down when he blocked Dale's punt,
enabling Charlton to pounce uym
the ball. Old man Jinx still persisted
in following the Huskers, as Iowa
fumbled the ball on the next play,
thus making ten yards on the fumbie.
It was Iowa's ball on Nebraska's
one yard line when Hubka was
rushed to the scene. Three line
plunges netted the Hawkeyes oniy
six inches but on the next smash,
Lohman plunged over the line for
Iowa's second touchdown.
Nebraska's line became impieg
nable the minute Hubka went in at
left tackle and Wilder replaced
Young at guard. Hub fought like a
demon and repeatedly broke through
and nabbed the Iowa backs for
losses. Every man on the Husker
line was giving all he had and Iowa
was unable to make a first down in
the remainder of the game.
The only score of the second period
came when A. Devine drop-kicked a
perfect goal from the thirty-yard line.
Neither team was able to penetrate
the other's defense so the second
quarter resulted in a punting duel
between Dale and A. Devine. Ho
warth fumbled Devine's punt on Ne
braska's twenty-yard line. 'ine
