every element of the weather being
favorable. In short, it was neither teo
hot nor too cold, but just what could
have been wished for.
1t was brilliant audience that
cheered the Minnesota boys TO victory;
and it was an impartial audience. for it
just as heartily cheered the unique
plays of the individual members OF the
Iowa team.
The field was lined with carriages
containing the fair sex, holding aloft
the colors of the University of Mime
Sofa.
The Minnesota boys out played and
out-pointed the Hawkeye congregation,
as a whole; but not individually. There
is one footballist on the Iowa team who
fairly outclasses any man on either
team, and he is Gray, the left half back.
His excellent head work. agility and
fine rushes were miraculous. He is
born footballist. and all admitted
his superior skill, while many
were heard to remark they had
seen many players, but none
the equal of Gray. The Minnesota
boys all admired his fine work and
shortly after play had begun all eyes
had turned to Gray. AS illustrating
how much Gray endeared himself to the
audience we need only mention that
after the first half had been finished
those on the field and several hundred
from the grand stand circled around
him to admire and congratu-
late him. Mr.. Gray will ever re-
member the ovation he received yester.
day. Crary was the only other member
of the Iowa team who did miraculous
work. His twenty-five yard rush in the
final inning was a clever bit of work

pretty stop 10y Crazy and the agili
of Gray gave Iowa the bali.
From then Oh it was con-
tinual see-saw. with lively scrimmages,
neither side gaining any perceptibIe
advantage. During tussle near tine
center some one plunged his heel on the
face of Larson, of the Minnesotas. and
recess was taken until the flow of
blood from his injuries had ceased.
Then there was very little time left,
and just before the end of the first half
Gray made another of his wonderful
rushes; but Harrison retaliated. and the
FIRST half ended with the ball IN center.
