MICHIGAN SHUTS OUT IOWA.
Wolverines Roll UP Fifty Point.
Against the Hawkeyes.

Chicago, Nov 29.-Michigan scored
almost at will against Iowa yesterday,
making so points TO the Hawkeyes'
naught. Thus Michigan closes the
regular football season with a total
record of sol points, while not one of
the teams she has met has been able
to score a single point against her.
Iowa played sturdy, plucky game,
but was outclassed Heston and
Shorts played spectacular game for
the Wolverines. The teams began
play at 11:10 at the National League
baseball park. The ground was III
good condition. except in the clay
which marks the path between second
and third bases. Ii was In this mud
that Iowa made her best stands.
Eight thousand people occupied the
stands when play begun. The wind
was blowing across the gridiron and
there was no advantage in having
either goal. Iowa had the kick off,
and for few minutes gave the Mich
igan supporters the only scare they
had during the game. Sweeley
caught the punt and ran back TO
Iowa's As yard line. Iowa gained ten
yards through the mud by masses on
tackle. Michigan held and Iowa
punted. Michigan lost the ball on
tumble and Howell carried 1t Is yards.
Line plunges netted ten yards more
and then Howell tried a goal from
field. but missed, the wind carrying
the ball to the right of the goal post.
Thereafter Michigan's goal was never
in danger. The Wolverines had the
ball nearly all the time In Iowas ter
ritory. They seldom failed to mako
their distance on first downs and fire..
Quently made eight or ten yards.
