NOTES OF THE GAME. :
Penn had two chances to score
once when she first received the ball | t
and lost it by,a tumble on S. U. l. 10 "
yard line after working Is yards in
two plays. Later Penn had the ball
on S. Z. /. 20-yard line directly in +
front of goal and should have easily Id
scored by place kick. Is
Until Springer was forced to go out t
of the game S U. l. could gain no
ground around his end.
Drinkle, Meredith and StribblingI
were in every play. s
During the first half Jones simply t
played the university's big center
clear off bis feet
The conduct OF the crowd and the
'lugging allowed by Umpire Coldren C
was a disgrace TO the University of o
Iowa. The university this year is o
playing too good a game to allow
such work, and although her coach
s making splendid team, there are d
few things that even his big head s.
cannot hold.
Had the university team left the u
lugging out the score would have ;,
'een different, as evidenced in the
irst half. o
