Eight thousand people occupied the stands when play begun. The wind was blowing across the gridiron and there was no advantage in having either goal, Iowa had the kick off, and for a few minutes gave the Mich igan supporters the only scare they had during the game. Sweeley caught the punt and ran back to Iowa’s As yard line. Iowa gained ten yards through the mud by masses on tackle. Michigan neld and Iowa punted. Michigan lost the ball on a tumble and Howell carried it IS yards. Line plunges netted ten yards more and then Howell tried a goal from field, but missed, the wind carrying the ball to thearight OF the goal post. Thereafter Michigan’s goal was never in danger.
