Northrop Field, Oct. 266.-A perfect au-
tumn day was dealt the gopher and hawk
eye collegians for their football game on
Northrop field this afternoon
The field itself was in ideal condition.
There was mild breeze from the north
west, which intermittently blew in stiff
gusts, making goals a questionable guam
tity.
There was a large crowd-some 5000
people in the grand stand and bleachers
when the game was called-but they had
been slow in arriving, there being no such
jam as at the Nebraska game.
The megaphone brigade occupied its ac-
customed place on the bleacher side. The
training of the past two weeks had put the
rooters in excellent condition and there
was more decorum in yelling than hereto
fore. The hawkeyes were not numerous,
but were enthusiastic and vociferous in
their roofing.
