In the final analysis, however, the Irish out rushed the Hawkeyes 166 to 1873. For the first two periods and the best part of the third. it prob ably was the first time this season that Notre Dame Coach Frank Leahy did not have to fret about keeping the score down. He prob ably was too busy worrying about getting it up. Leading the Nation on total Of fense with an average of AS yards per game, the Irish were held to 1853 today-197 passing and their 1866 rushing. Iowa, in addition to its 100 rush ing, made only mere IS by passing. The Hawkeyes’ trigger man, Glenn Drain, tried 19 tosses ana completed only three, one for a touchdown.

Notre Danes fanciest ball carrier, netted but 10 yards in 20 trips. Jerry Faske of Iowa peeled off 81 in IL. . In the first half, Faske broke loose for IS and 33-yard runs. He would have gone all the way. but John Petition. a 180-pound rabbit halfback from New Orleans, saved the day by catching him from behind both times. Bill Gay recovered Faske’s fum- BILE on the Iowa SO and Notre Dame scored in the first four minutes Of the game. Williams pitched 10 yards to Frank Spaniel for the payoff. !, At the outset of the second period, Williams completed a A. yard pass to Larry Coutre, but Coutre eventually fumbled away the ball on the one-foot line. That gave Iowa its touchdown incentive. Taking the ball short time later on the Notre Dame 46, Faske raced 80 yards and Drain finally hit Bob Mckenzie with a six-yard scoring toss-his first completion in six tries. A 15-yard holding penalty against Iowa and a partially blocked Drain punt, detected by End Leon Hart, were breaks that helped give Notre Dame its second marker. The Irish got the ball on Iowa %.

  &sAiAE& &alss|A lzEf zf PLATOON SYSTEM MAYBE ACCOUNTS FOR HIGH SC0RES CHICAGO, Nov. 22--lPl-The pla- toon system may account for the high scoring in football this season by making the defense lax, Coach Eddie Anderson of Iowa believes. Noting that the free substitution rule, which has brought about the two-unit system, was running games 15 to 25 minutes longer than usual, Anderson is in favor of the ol6 substitution provision. He told the Herald-American quarterback club yesterday that he suspected some defensive players feel sighted when all the glory goes to the offensive unit. Maybe they don’t try to look too good defensively.” he suggested. Anderson said Minnesota quite oonceivably could beat Notre Dame ,’on real, good day. Iowa was trounced by Minnesota, 55–⁠7, on Nov. 5, and lost 28–⁠7 to Notre Dame last Saturday.
