MINNESOTA STOPS
IOWA FORMATIONS

Minneapolis. Mimi. Oct. 26.-The
Minnesota first team had little trouble
Wednesday In stopping the attack OF
the freshmen team in its execution of
Iowa formations The yearlings had
been drilled in the plays used by the
Rawkeyes and turned them on the
Gophers. They did not progress very
far and even on the forward passes the
irst team finally perfected strong
defense.
Then the Gophers began some often
sive work with the idea of polishing up
the work of the ends and backfeld
The varsity was able to score some
good gains but in the main the often,
sive work was limited to breaking
through the line.
The Iowa manager of athletics has
reserved 200 seats for Hawkeye stu
dents for the game Saturday. The
Illinois game is also attracting wide
attention throughout the northwest.
