The con test was a passing affair, neither side being able to endanger the others goal until the fourth period when Ohio found itself in the possession of the ball and by series of aerial plays brought it to the Iowa 35-yard line. There the Buckeyes were stopped, and Iowa, in the shape of Charlie Brookins, worlds champion hurdler, essayed several end runs that netted long gains, but failed to put over a score before the final whistle. Dope Upset In two intersectionai contests Chi cago upset Browns hopes of victory by taking the long end of a 10 to score and Louisiana romped away with the Indiana game to the tune of 20 to 10. Both contests spilled the dope Chicago being expected to show the same weak defense that 1t displayed c week ago in losing to Missouri. Another upset took place at Madison when Coe college of Cedar Rapids, fowa, held Wisconsin to to z tie, after having led [ to most of the way. Another closely fought contest was that at Ann Arbor where the Michigan Az gies played Michigan to standstill un- til the last quarter when the Wolver- ines, put over touchdown and won to 10. The other games of the day proved easy, victories for the big fen entrants, Illinois walking over Butler 40 to 10. rerdue smothering Rose Poly Al to 3 and Norwestern whitewashing Cincin. nafi 42 to 0.
