    J. WASHINGTON DEFEATS IOWA BY SCORE 14–⁠0 Huskies Make Their Tallies in Second, Fourth Periods SEATTLE, Sept. 27.-The Illus kies of the Diversity of Washington defeated the University of Iowa last Saturday afternoon by a score of IA to 0. Washington scored the first touch down in the second play in the sec- and period when WascowitZ passed to Johnson who made run from the 15-yard line to a touchdown. The second score was made in the last quarter when Wascowitz passed to Shelldrake who ran from the 13-yard line for the touchdown. The Huskies on Saturday played their 18th intersectional game in U. of w. history and of these, Wash ington teams have won five, lost six and tied two. Three of Washing tons intersectional contests include Tournament of Roses appearances at Pasadena, two of which the Illus kies lost, one ended in tie. Washingtons first intersectional game was played 34 years ago, dur ing the season of 1903 when the University of Nevada invaded Se- attle and lost 20 game to Wash ington. The season of 1915, when the col legiate teams of the Northwest un- successfully tried to arrange Wash ington’s schedule and stood out against Gilmour Dobie’s influence with the result that Huskies were left, temporarily high and dry for games, saw Washington’s second in- terectional game. When Northwest teams combined to sidetrack the Huskies, Art Younger, then gradu ate manager, listed Colorado for a game that Washington won 46–⁠0. The next year, 1916, the Pacific Coast Conference got into action and Washington’s schedule return ed to normal Saturdays game against Iowa was Washington’s third against a Big Ten opponent. The Huskies trav- eled to Chicago in 1929 to take 26–⁠6 defeat from Stagg’s U. of c. eleven in their first Big Ten grid exper- fence. Minnesota came to Seattle last September and took 14–⁠7 game from Washington in the sec ond venture of the Huskies into competition of that calibre. Only once in all it’s intersectional play has a Washington football team failed to score That was last New Years Day at Pasadena when Pitts Partners goose-egged the Illus kies while scoring 21 points for themselves.
