    |. u Regards HaWkeyeS as Menacing Foe Crimson Team Expects Iowa to Be at Full Strength Despite Defeats. BU fHcS NDeciHt BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. 81 30 McMillin has had a real head ache session since Saturday, when he saw Indiana’s next two opponents, Minnesota and Iowa, stage a slash ing battle at the Iowa homecoming with the Gophers running rough shod over the Hawkeyes, 48–⁠12. So 30 has ordered overtime work for his team this week to get ready for the Iowa team, which probably will have a very mean disposition next Saturday and will be champing to avenge the three defeats already suffered Iowa will have Captain Russ Fisher back in the lineup. 1t then will have its full strength, something it hasn’t had since it walloped Northwestern, POT. Indianas squad literally put on its working harness Monday and Tuesday as 30 ordered the bucking straps out and the bucking machine dragged onto the practlce IleIQ. Charlie Mcdaniel, utility tackle, is still on the convalescent list and probably will not be used much Saturday in the hig home coming fra cas-. Other injuries which have been handicapping the HoosierS improved steadily with the help Of the open weekend. After watching the Iowa team in action, 30 stated: Iowa has much better football team than the score against Iowa State and Minnesota would indicate, but, like several other good teams, has a limited number Of requirements, especially in the back field. If Captain Fisher, the spark plug of the team, is able to play Saturday, as he is expected to be, Iowa will be the same t.le team that it was against Northwestern .
