GLENN DEvINE
NOT CREDITED
WITH HIS DUE
Is Deserving of Almost As Much
Praise as Famous Brother,
Aubrey.

Iowa City, Iowa, Nov. 22.-Two
, brothers yand Glenn Devine
are the chief reasons why the
! University of Iowa football eleven
has won its first Western Confer
ence championship in 20 years, for,
while TO the average person the
Iowa team is largely Aubrey De-
vine, to persons who have followed
the eleven closely it has become
more and more evident that Glenn,
Comparatively unknown, deserves
almost as much credit as Aubrey.
the all-western star known to every
football enthusiast
When the Old Gold of Iowa float
ed triumphantly from the goal
posts after games with Notre Dame.

was Aubrey Devine who generally
had done most of the ground gain
ing. 1t was Aubrey who hurled the
successful forward passes with I'M
erring accuracy and it was Aubrey
whose magic toe booted the ball
for points. Few realized that but
for Glenn, Iowa might not have
been victorious, for GIenn's steady
and valiant playing was generally
of the type that drew little atten-
ton but did much toward winning
the game.
Glenn opens holes for Aubrey, he
spills the opposing tacklers, he
dumps Interference for Aubrey to
make tackles, and-best of all-if
Aubrey happens to cut loose with
a wild forward pass Glenn gener-
ally manages TO snare it-some
times with only one hand
Thus the ugger-Glenn-has
drawn little attention, and yet
without him or someone like him,
Aubrey-the star-might have
much more difficulty than at pres
ent in making his great plays.
Aubrey without Glenn would be
a real star-there is no doubt of
that-but with Glenn he's one of
the greatest in the country.
While these two men have done
more than any other pair of players
to keep Iowa TO the front, the team
has several more stars.
In the line Slater, the giant
negro, and Bedding at tackle and
end have consistently been chosen
as circumference and all-western
material for several years. Both
are playing their fourth season on
an Iowa team by virtue of the S. A.
T. c. ruling. Slater especially put
up the most consistently brilliant
game of his career this fall.
However, the strength of the
Hawkeyes was not so much in re-
lance upon the dependabIes OF
other seasons as in the develop
ment of new men who more than
held their own with the old stars.
1t is doubtful if another line in IFS
conference was as good from one
end to the other as the Old Cold
forwards, and the Iowa line. pIus
Gordon Locke at fullback, was
enough TO cause trouble for any
team in America.
Locke was unusually dependable
TOT When the Hawkeyes were five
YARDS from a touchdown they cali |
ed on Locke, and Locke generally
went over in one smash leaving /
trail of husky opponents on either
side OF him and underneath. Once !
through the line, Locke also is a |
good open field runner.
thompson at left tackle is re-
garded as a find. He PLAYED his
second year. Kadesky at left end I
is a better man on defense than
Bedding. Slater is the old reIiablp !
at opening holes. Heidi and MinicIL /
elaborated to make MANY an adj /
vance possible, but Heidi was espe-
clally strong on defense. Mead |
filled the breach between Heidi |
and Slater
At carrying the ball the Iowa of
tense was mostly a two man propo-
sluon- Either Aubrey Deyine
stood back with his triple threat to
run, pass, or kick or else Locke
took the ball from his place in q
interference apr
charged through the line. Glenn
i)evine was especially strong on lie
