IOWA CITY. Even the dull chill of this cloudy afternoon
failed to cool the accurate right arm of Tom Farmer, flipping
Iowa halfback, here today. Farmer unleased the heaviest aerial
barrage thrown a Husker team in a decade and when the raid
ceased, the Scarlet and Cream floundered in the throes of a
27-0 defeat.

tor Farmer's perfect placement.
7-0 at Half.
An exchange of punts midway
in the third quarter gave Iowa
possession on the Husker 41 yard
line. Slippery as a two-bit steak,
Curren slithered his way 13 yards
for a first down. Then fullback
Uknes blasted his way over the
Husker right guard for four more
yards.
Curren slid away for 10 yards
to the 18-yard stripe and the stage
was set for Farmer to toss 15
yards to the rampaging Curren
on the 3-yard stripe. One brief
Vvnicti thru tackle bv Curren was
enough for the second Hawk
marker.
Big Vic Schleich, a constant
power at left tackle, stopped
Farmer's conversion with his
chest. Score was 13-0 and Husker
fans hopefully started to remin
isce. The 1941 Scarlet and Cream
eleven had overcome a 13-0 Hawk
ye lead in'Lincoln to squeeze thru
with a 14-13 decision. But it
wasn't in the cards Saturday.

The Hawks offense progressed to

Farmer took the center pass,
looked for a receiver, then spotted

behind the Husker secondary. A'

spiral over 25 yards of green

squarely in Burkett's mitts.
