Hawkeyes Are Disturbed Over the
Outlook for the State

Special to The Journal.
Iowa City,, Iowa, Oct. 25.-Two great problems
perplex and torment the followers Of Iowa foot
ball today:
One Is: where will the Minnesota Iowa
Thanksgiving game be played?'' and the other
is: Can we win the state championship
With Minneapolis and Davenport claiming the
holiday contest, Iowa City looks like poor
Iowa City merchants and other steadfast sup
porters Of the university athletics, is striving
hard to induce the Minnesota board to consent
to a transfer to Iowa City. Cedar Rapids, but
twenty-eight miles away, via interurban rail-
way connections, agrees to send 5000 people
here, If possible, Thanksgiving day, and excur.
sions will be planned from every town and city
within radius of 100 miles. The board mem
bers believe crowd Of nearly 5000 people will
see the game, If It Is switched to Iowa City,
ana Minnesota may receive an alluring bonus
above the original $1,000 guarantee, If the
g0phers consent to the transfer. g.. 4y
The other proposition-as to the possible de-
feat by Ames-is no more solution, and is
no easier to solve than the contest over the
big game i 81,
Iowa rooters' fears, their worst fears, at that,
were REALIZED Saturday when state normal,
never a dangerous opponent, only defea ted
after desperate struggle. The hawkeye eleven
played miserably at times, and Its two touch
downs were secured only after hard, bitter fight
ing at critical stages. At similarly important
moments of the game the Iowans exhibited an
entirely new development in their style of bad
play-for they fumbled wretchedly. The men in
old gold have held the ball pretty we'll up to
date, but the normal game seemed to find about
every man on the team with a set of "butter
fingers" and the bull was thus lost several
times wien touchdowns seemed imminent The
inability to keep possession of the ball even when
making gains, If shown In the Ames game, will
be ruinous. The Iowa team, of course was
badly handicapped Saturday, for its regulars,
even those in the game, were crippled, and the

without saying, and that Central will be primed

Altho there was no scrimmage at East high
the men knew that they had had their suits on,
as Earl Wyman and Professor Murphin put them
thru a round Of plays up and down the field that
took the kinks out of their knees and the brisk
weather did the rest. Nevertheless the work
was not altogether pleasing to Coach Wyman,

how the plays should be Off

that the men Will be allowed to loaf, however.
The scrubs Will have plenty of chance to show
their mettle before the football year is over.
Central showed no effects from the game with
the mutes at Faribault except that it has given
the new men more confidence in themselves. The
work this week will be to drill the in the
