Hawkeye team has shown itself reason

present as it should have been in the
practice. The men on the team have
to some extent become swelled on them
selves, particularly the new men, until
they think there is no one can play nall
like themselves. Some of them nave
missed out in the line-ups because OF TOO
much manifestation of this feeling. The
others have been plainly told that good,
hard work and steady Improvement VIII
be required of them If they hold their
positions.
Some of you seem to think that you
can stand in your places and get OF
when you please and you will be playing
good enough football to keep your places
on the team. You have not the right
idea by good deal and / want you to
know it. When you get up to Mime

against just as strong an opponent as
you want even if you buckle down to
good hard practice every day till it oc-
ours. Not man on this team has

and run as much and as fast as you
can, You ought to get so after while
you will be good ball players" This IS
one Of Dr. Knipes talks to his men, and
many others occur every day. The
prominence of the Minnesota game was
never before 50 emphasized for any con-
test, and Coach Knipe's nervousness as
to the outcome Of the game is shared by
all the students. A large number viii

vldual members of the team are:

There is great deal of doubt as to
Terrell's playing, as he is laid up with
a sprained ankle, as yet too tender to
touch to the ground. Wilkins will prob
ably play at right half against Minnesota
unless Terrell RECEIVERS or Waters is
brought back from right end Terrell is
greatly priced in the back field on ac-
count of his headwork Weiland, the
left half, is the speediest runner on the
Iowa squad, but he cannot compare to
Terrell when it comes to clever BRAIN
work. Capt. Williams is playing quar-
ter with his old-time excellence. He and
Waters, right end, and Burrier right
tackle, are the only old men on the team
They are besides, the only men who
know how to tackle fast and low and
how to run a helping hand all the time
in the interference. A great deal of the
responsibility for offensive success lies
with the tackles in Iowa's system of
play, and a great deal of care has been
used in selecting Burrier's mate. After
Ealf a dozen men had been seriously
tried for the place, Coulthard, the sub
Stitute tackle on last years varsity, has
at last been selected. He is light and
quick, and eXcels particula: ly in advanc-
ing the ball Siberts, who plays left end,
is also noted for his ability in this direc-
ton Waters, who plays right end,
works so much with his head in his in
reference that his neck is always a bit
loose, and the greatest care is always
necessary to expose him to no unneces-
sary danger. Hence, Waters is not
called upon to carry the ball so fire.
quently as the other players. If Iowa
gets within six yards of Minnesotas goal
and has to make good gain in order to
make her downs. it may be pretty Ger
tainly predicted that Waters will be
called upon for a plunge with the ball.
Coach Knipe has created CONSERVATION

was last year at the close of the sea-
