Score Of 90 to 5 Represents Rsla’ tive Strength Of the Opposing Teams Iowa and Minnesota Not Likely to Play For the Western Championship.

The In reference used by the Iowa team did not consist, as every body supposed It would, in the much discussed guards back play of Pennsylvania, but was q product of DR.. Knipe’s recent coaching. Michigan was undoubtedly more than prepared to meet the guards back for nation. and after Its second trial the brilliant generalship OF Williams. quarter back and acting captain of the Iowa team, came into play He began to de versify his playing to such an extent that even the shrewd Michigan for wards We’re completely taken on their guard. The best ground gaining play OF the Iowa team was the formation OF four players beside the quarter back behind the line The technique OF this play was the placing of either tackle in front Of the position occupied by the full back and the sending OF the fast half. backs Morton and Edison, outside OF the position occupied by the tackle, who was not drawn back. In this play Iowa not only gained one man in the interference, but completely put the Michigan ends out Of play. This for nation. used also for the end runs, enabled the fast Iowa backs to complete ly circle Michigan’s heretofore I’M Ipregnable ends. 1t is hard. indeed. to pick the stars on the Iowa team.
