LINCOLN, oct. N-Cspeclal)-As the day
OF the Iowa game draws near an appre-
hension about defeating the Hawkeyes is
forming IN the Cornhusker camp, and there
are frequently heard around the campus
expressions Of belief that the men from
Iowa City will spring a neat surprise on
King Coles players.
Immediately after Hebraska's strong
showing against Minnesota last Saturday a
feeling that the Cornhuskers would find
easy prey In iowa permeated the atmos-
phere at the local institution. "A team
that could hold the powerful Gophers to
a low score" It was thought, surely ought

that Minnesota trimmed to the score Of
A to o."
During the last forty-eight hours the
student body has struck it's normal way of
thinking and It is beginning to analyze
conditions pertaining TO the game and at
the same time admitting the Hawkeyes
may have a better show than was at first
conceded.
In the first place It is remembered that
Iowa has had a rest Of two weeks-having
met no opponent last S-aturday-and that
its men ought to be much fresher than the
Cornhuskers by Saturday. Condition is a
great factor in foot ball and IL the Hawk
eyes can come to Lincoln With all their
regulars in fine form, they are liable to
become exhausted only after the Cornhusk-
ers have been worn out by fierce play. II
such is the case they may be In a posi-
tion to run over the Nebraska men as
Minnesota did-only after King Coles
players were too weak to fight back.
Then It is realized that Iowa has not had
a chance to show It's real strength yet.
so far the games It has played have been
early season contests. when It could not
be expected to play in fast form.
BY now 1t should Rave struck it's mid
season form and should put up the best
game It viii play at any time during the
fall. Coach Griffith has much good mate
rial at Iowa and II is only a question
of whether III knows how to handle his
men as to whether they win be in shape
for a g~rueling game here this week. II
Griffith has handled his men as well as
Cole did the Cornhuskers after the South
Dakota game, bringing them up to an ag-
gressive team from a weak lot of young
sters, he will no doubt hold Nebraska to
a hard battle.
what Cnuses Fear.
1t is the knowledge that low has the
material for the best team In it's own
state and that 1t has men equal to the
best Cornhuskers that is driving fear into
the Nebraska camp.
Many OF the %rooters, look for Iowa to
come up and do just what Nebraska &C
complished against Minnesota, and ever
more. They look for an even battle in tho
first half, with about a tie score and ther
in the second half, they expect the team
Wit the greater endurance to win out. II
Nebraska has suffered a staleness as a
result OF the hard fight against Minnesota
Iowa Is held to win by its better condi-
ton.
The first hard scrimmage practice Of the
week was held by the Cornhuskers this
afternoon. All the men, with the excep-
ton of Bentley, were able to take part In
this, Bentley injured his back at Omaha
and is taking work easy this week. Lof'
