iowa CITY, Oct. 26.-The Iowa-Grin-
Eell game was the central contest lasl
Saturday In the state. The result of the
game was doubtful before 1t was played
| played against Minnesota the Saturday
before and the bruised condition of the
lowans as a result of that game. Grin
nell expected TO be able to run Iowa's
ends and very few Hawkeyes could be
found prior to the game who were sure
, that she would not be able to do So
Iowa won the game by a fair-sized
score which probably represents the
respective strength of the two teams,
tho ii was too small from the Iowa
standpoint and too large from the Grin
nell viewpoint. Iowa's ends were
strong and GrinnelPs gains were made
by plunging Iowa's line. The Iowa
team played brilliantly at times and
at times very poorly. The hackfeid
when carrying the ball ran faster than
hey have before this season, but
when running in the interference ran
slower than In the Drake game.
