characterized by poor work by the Iowa
team with Simpson college on Iowa field
yesterday afternoon, the former won By
a score of 10 to 0.
That. the game was not q defeat was
due to the playing OF Ochiltree behind
the line. He was the only man who
turned back the assaults Of Bert Ken
nedy ON the hawkeye line and, with ST.
berts. constituted the part Of the Iowa
team that played football yesterday.
Barring these two men, the Iowa team
played awful ball. and the only consola-
tion In the smirly atmosphere at Iowa
City last evening was that~all the men
knew that they played the worst game
that has been seen on Iowa field for a
long time. The halfbacks played finely
In few offensive plays. but they made
started too slow on almost every play,
and the runners always ran too high.
The tackles played a very weak game on
the defensive and Captain Hollenbeck al
lowed many runs around his end by fail
ing to get the interference. ~,
Assistant Coach. Hobbs said OF the
game: 1T was tho worst / ever saw.
One or two men played good ball, but
the rest Of the work was awful. I can
not account for the reverse Of form. 1t
IS bad enough that 1t is here"

score by fumbling on weak work when
near the goal. In the second half Simp-
son held on her own yard line and, aided
by two punts which were missed by Grif-

Iowa on the defensive for the last fifteen
minutes of the game. Simpson, playing
her tackles around, made her best
gains in the first half, but in the second
Bert Kennedy came forth the particu-
lar star Of the game. He was called back
and given the ball for line bucks which
