Fans can tell a little more about Iowa Saturday. after the Hawkeyes bump into Minnesota, now reckoned the most powerful grid ma chine in the country. MCNIillin isn’t satisfied with his teams lineup, but his lack of reserve strength is handicapping him in trying to find any suitable replacements. 1t is hoped that the twO-week conYalescence period Will give Indiana’s cripples enough time to again be in condition for battle.
