last night was characterized by rough
ness approaching at times that Of mass
plays at football. At the end Of the
first half the score stood to in
favor of Grinnell. just the same as the
first half Of the Kansas-Grinnell game

cooler when the second half began and
the score began to pile up. Grinnell
took the lead and held 1t and when
Iowa reached the 10 mark GrinneN left

notch. The Iowa team did not have
the quickness OF movement OF either

backed by unbounded enthusiasm. The
