  Notre Dame Sweeps BY Iowa, 34–⁠78, to Avenge ’53 Tie IOWA CITY, Iowa, Nov. 20.-- Vengeance-bent Notre Dame pounded Iowa, 34–⁠18. today and exacted rich revenge for the famous 14–⁠14 tie that cost the Irish the national football cham plonship a year ago. Notre Dame, under the leader ship of Ralph Gugliemi, the passing star, roared through Iowa for a 34–⁠6 lead midway through the final quarter. There was no need this chilly, crisp day for the feigned injuries that stopped the clock last year to give the Irish the time necessary for tying touchdownS. Only in the late stages did Iowa ramble freely through No tire Dame to furnish some con- ISOLATION to the Iowans in the crowd of 52,756, a sellout gath erinig that had been assured when the tickets first went on sale last July. Coach Terry Brennan’s team stayed in command until 1t was far out of danger and both squads were dominated by reserves in much of the late going. Terry did hustle in his first team when Iowa threatened fourth touch down. a rnaneuver that died with the final gun on the Notre Dame 5. After a scoreless first quarter, Notre Dame sailed to two touch downs for a 14–⁠0 advantage in the second period before Iowa came up with a touchdown on a 44-yard pass play. Jerry Reich
