Thorpe at the center of the field. Sun
shine" covered ten yards Of territory
before he was brought to earth, then
Irsf1eld lodged between right tackle
and end for ten more yards, and the
Gopher stock jumped several points.
The black haired half sprinted eight
more yards through the same hole,
and after q few short gains Minnesota
lost the ball on downs at 1oWa's ff-
teen-yard line.
That was the beginning Of the end.
Iowa made first down twice on plays
outside Schacht, but then the Gopher
line held like adamant and Ochiltree
punted to Harris, who lodged the
Hawkeye ends and got back sixty feet
of territory, then Irsfield took the ball
on a double pass and skirted Coult-
hard's end for ten yards.
iowa held for downs again on her
eighteen yard line, and Ochiltree again
punted out of danger, that is, it looked
out of danger, but 1t was not. Sig
Harris got back to the thirty-yard line
after catching the punt before he was
downed, and then the Gophers started
pounding those fatally weak spots, the
Iowa guards.
Smash, Smash, Smash.
It was smash, smash, and smash
again, until Smith went over for the
first touch down, which Rogers easily
converted into a goal
The next score was easy. Sig caught
the oval on Ochiltree's kickoff and adj
vanced it to the 25-yard line. Irsfeld
skirted end for Is yards and then
went over to Hollenbeck for 10 more.
A few line plunges brought the ball to
the Iowa's 50-yard line, where the
Gophers lost the leather for holding in
the line but the Hawkeyes couldn't
buck the Minnesota line any more cas-
lily than they could a stone wall.
Ochiltree had to kick on the third
down. Harris fumbled the punt but,
retaining the ball, Irsfeld went outside
the right tackle for IA yards in two
plunges. The Gophers got 10 yards
more for off side, Warren tore off 8
more yards of territory, and then Min
nesota went at the guards again.
Foulk went in in Atkinson's place for
Iowa, but the procession continued I'M
til Harris varied the programme by
giving the ball to Davies. The blonde
half got outside of Buckley and made
the second touchdown after a run Of
Is yards. Rogers again kicked goal
and the score stood - to O. Minnesota
rooters breathed more easily.
This Score Came Quick.
The next score came so quickly that
Rogers caught the kickoff and sprint
ed along the left side line well into
Iowa's territory before he was downed,
but unluckily he stepped over the
boundary line just before reaching the
center of the field. Minnesota couldn't
gain and Harris punted, the ball rolling
over the goal line.
Ochiltree kicked out to Thorpe at
the center of the field and on the first
Tlau DaJiac cOt tbro11ob ont side tackle
He wriggled out of the grasp of two
tacklers and lodged two more, and
while Rogers put another pair Of
Hawkeyes out of the play Davies
crossed the line for third touch down,
Rogers again kicking goal.
Iowa gave Minnesota her first and
only scare a minute later. Umpire
Allen gave the ball to Iowa on Mime
sota's S0-yard line for holding, and
White got around Gray for II yards
behind that flying interference. Then
Ochiltree tried a place kick, but the
Gophers blocked it. An Iowan fell on
the ball again at the 2O-yard line.
Minnesota held again and Ochiltree
tried a second place kick, but the
Gophers tore the HawlSeye line to
pieces and came through thick as flies
again and Irsfeld fell on the ball at
Iowa's 45-yard line. Then, in three
plays, Flynn, Irsfield and Thorpe made
35 yards, and time was called for the
half.
In the second half Iowa braced for
about five minutes and held her own
against the Gophers, but the squirt did
not last. Iowa gained II yards in two
plays after the Kickoff; then Mime
sofa held and an exchange of punts
followed. Iowa punted again and
Minnesota carried the ball from her
own 25-yard line to IoWa's goal line
without losing it. Irsfield contributed
a run of 20 yards and several smaller
gains and the rest of the distance was
made by straight line bucks. Smith
finally took the ball over and Rogers
missed the goal. Score, Minnesota %,
Iowa 0.
fter the next kickoff Minnesota
maze her fifth touch down in short or
der. Iowa was weakening fast and
her ends were easily put out of the
play by the Minnesota backs. An ex-
change Of punts followed the kick-o off
and then Irsfield got around right end
for 20 yards of territory. The insatia-
BILE Davies devoured 10 more, and a
few plunges through guard brought
the ball to the 4-yard line. Smith cas-
lily carried it over for the fifth touch
down and Rogers kicked his fourth
goal.
A couple of exchanges of punts fol-
lowed the kickoff. Irsfeld's bad an
kle gave out and O'Brien took his
place. Varying end runs and guard
bucks and Minnesota carried the ball
to the S-yard line and O'Brien skirted
the end for a Touchdown Rogers
missed the goal Time was called
shortly after.
