' THE
JSclrnHlcn O, Iowa .
HCAKLET AND CREAM WIN KVEHY LEAGUE GAME.
About two thousand people, among the m
three huudred IT. of X. students, saw Oury's
Invineibles gain their final victory at Council
Bluffs on Thanksgiving day. The weather
was not pleasant, the grounds were not in
good condition, the car service was as bad as
it well could be but the game itself left noth
ing to be desired. It was the kind of battle
that wins friends for football. From the
kick off to Iowa's last desperate rush the
game never lagged. It was a clean contest.
There was no slugging, no fouls and no ex
tended arguments with the umpire. The
game was steady from the start, became fast
and furious toward the end and was marked
by one brilliant play.
The details of the game are already well
known. The season is over and the interest
of the students is turned in other directions.
The IIesi'ehiax therefore con Hues itself to a
few general comments.
During the lirst half the lighting was till in
Iowa's territory. The Nebruskans soon
proved themselves superior in aggressive
playing. But the Ilawkeyes put up a mag
nificent defense. The Nebraskans were nre-

The crowd was about evenly divided. It
was an inter-state contest and state pride was
aroused. Omaha people wore the scarlet and
cream while the residents of the Bluffs were
decked with old gold. The Iowans were ac
companied by scores of enthusiastic but un
discriminating rooters whose yell.

confidence for si moment. They know a
vented from scoring in the lirst half by the winning play was coming and waited for it
failure of Cowgill's repeated attempts to kick
goal from the field. The quarterback's ill
success was due to the condition of the field
the ball would not leave the ground.
Early in the second half Benedict broke
calmly and patiently. And when it did come
they projected the old Uni. yell into the frosty
air in a way that it has never been heard on
the other side of the Big Muddy.
