|. 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.

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 .
