49,
Moines o. The best game Of the season on
the Vinton street grounds, between teams
Of equal weight, and won by straight foot
ball. At the beginning Of the game the
Iowans held Creighton yard for yard, but
after the loss OF Brugger, their big guard,
who had been tearing up the local line,
Creighton was able to gain, making most
Of it's ground through his substitute. Again,
toward the close of the play, after Walker,
who had been making most Of the openings
in their defense, was retired, the High
landers again held the locals and seemed
to be in better condition at the end. WEIGH
hit the line very hard and was a sure
ground gamer. Walker made holes in the
line at every play. Rooney showed a great
eye for the ball and fell on several fumbles.
Dulaney had a left rib broken and Walker
suffered a badly injured leg. The Creighton
line did some holding and was twice penal
lied.
The Iowans suffered through costly
fumbles. Their ends, Tonner and Koes-
terer, did good work and Captain Roberts
tackled hard and surely. St. Germaine, the
Indian tackle, and Hartman and strack,
behind the line, put up a good game. The
largest crowd Of the season, about $500
people, watched the game.
