IOWA U PL0UGHS WAY
T0C0NFERENCE HONORS

Evanston, Ill, Nov. 1s.-The Univer-
sity of Iowa eleven today plowed its
way thru rainsoaked field to the
western conference championship and
to the championship of the middle
west also by defeating Northwestern
university IA to 0. while Illinois was
eliminating Ohio State from the race.
Despite Iowa's victory Northwestern
made a determined stand against an
eleven which 1t had been predicted
would triumph by score of from 80
to 40 to nothing.
The muddy field with water foot
deep in some places made it impossi-
bic for the players to get a foothold
and both elevens resorted to desperate
forward pass attempts. The mud
proved too great handicap and few
OF the heaves were successful. The
best pass came III the first four min
Nes and brought the Hawkeyes their
first score. After working the ball
down to the purpie's 30 yard line Au-
brey Devine shot a pretty pass to his
brother Glenn who lodged thru 90
yards to a touchdown. In the second
period line plunging by Locke, Iowa
tullback combined with clever inter-
ference by Glenn Devipe for his
brother Aubrey's end runs brought the
ball to Northwestern's three-yard line
and Locke plunged thru for another
touchdown.
Aubrey Devine kicked both goals.
