fought game of the season the Univer-
sity of Iowa foot ball team defeated

binary severity of the schedule already
played and the trip to Nebraska last
week had combined to leave the local
team in rather bad condition for its
final championship struggle. They were
agreeably disappointed, therefore, when
in spite of the absence of their captain,
the Varsity boys triumphed by the de-
cisive score OF 16 to 0, and their goal
line has not been crossed vet.
