ents of the university who live in this
city. The old gold colors of the state
university, which waived triumphantly
on Marshall field, were flung to the
breeze by the boys in Ottumwa.
Iowas team achieved grand triumph,
as the Maroons of past fame failed to
score in either half, or even come
within threatening distance of the
Hawkeye goal.
OF course, Coach Stage and his van.
quished athletes say it was not fair;
they say our boys were rough and
rude, and jostled against them, and
pushed them about, tore holes in their
lines, bucked the center, ran around
two ends and kicked two goals. AL
tho defeated their wind still remains
good enough to register vociferous
kick, but they did not have the punt
when it came to playing.
Buried Their Hopes.

figure in the football history of 1900
was buried beneath the turf of Mar

the husky Iowa eleven, not content
with killing the maroons' champion
ship aspirations, piled sod after sod
over the grave until the mound was
seventeen points high.
Not once did the maroons come with
in striking distance of Iowa's goal and
the Hawkeyes crossed Chicagos line
twice, kicking goal from the field,
and would have added another five or
six points to their score if the game
had lasted another minute of two.
Stages men were outclassed, out
generated and outplayed from the be-
ginning to the end. Blunders, poor
Z Judgment and fumbling combined to
lose the maroons all the advantage
they should have had in the first half,
when with a gale of wind in their IA

most of the time, Chicago failed to
score a point.

tedious with injuries and disputes. and

ces that deserved punishment than re-
ceived 1t.
