Hov..n yory. each Saturdays
fu. a, Iov. co,cs, games, il appears
as If the Hawk
eyes should complete their schedule
without defeat, providing they are
at the top OF their form for each con-
test. Iowa has yet to play Purdue,
Minnesota, Indiana and Northwest
ern. Indications point 10 the Hawk
eyes winning all these struggles. il
they play as they did against Illinois
and Notre Dame.
Locke a Marvel on Plunging.
Iowa is a team OF great offensive
power, while its defense has been
stiff enough to stop the best which
Illinois and Notre Dame could pro.
duce. Coach Howard Jones has
evolved a close and open attack
which is hard TO stop. With Gordon
Locke performing so we'll at hitting
the line, the defense OF other teams
must tighten up to stop him. AS
soon as this happens, and the opposi-
tion line plays closer together, with
its secondary defense pulled up to
help out the forward wall, Capt. Au-
brey Devine Of the Hawkeyes has
the open attack to call into use.
As the Iowa leader is a past mas
ter in running with the ball. or toss
ing 1t on forward passes. the defense
must open up to meet this style OF
offense. Regardless OF what kind OF
defense an opponent plays, Iowa has
an offense which will gain. In Duke
Slater Iowa has powerful lineman
who is a big help to Locke in his line
plunging attempts, while Belding is
an excellent receiver OF forward
passes. Glen Devine and Shuttle
worth, halfbacks, are above the aver
age, and will gain when given the
proper support
Sehdule Is Unfortunate.
With such team it is regretted
that Iowa will not meet Michigan,
Wisconsin, Ohio State, or Chicago.
elevcns which arc looming up as the
strongest in the conference. While
the Buckeyes defeat by Oberlin will
not mar their Big Ten records, they
appear to face a harder task to keep
their slate clean than other elevens.
II the Badgers, Buckeyes, Wolver-
ines. or Maroons drop one game OF
their several schedules and Iowa
wins its remaining contests. the
Hawkcyes will be entitled to the un-
disputed conference championship.
Iowa will not play any harder games |
than it already has gone through,
and all that Coach Jones must do is
keep his team on edge to play its
usual brand OF foot ball against re-
naming opponents.
One of the feature contests on
next Saturdays schedule will be the
clash between Michigan and Illinois
at Urbana. Regardless OF results Of
yesterdays contests, the annual
struggle between the Maize and
Elue and Orange and Blue should
be a Enthusiastically hard-fought
struggle. Success for the Wolver-
ines against the Buckeyes yesterday
was expected to make Yost's men
rule fayorites over Coach Zuppke's
eleven.
Gophers to Tackle Badgers.
Wisconsin and Minnesota will en-
gage in their annual contest at Madi- .
son in game which the Badgers
must win, to remain in c3nsidera- !,
ton, after their game with Illinois ,
yesterday. Coach Richards has ex-
ccllent backfeld and line material
this year, and his forwards have
been giving the. backs necessary
protection on ground-gaining at
tempts.
In the other game Of note, Iowa
will clash with Purdue at Lafayette.
The Hawkeyes should win this con-
test handily, as the Boilermakers al
ready have been defeated by Chi
eago, Notre Dame and Wabash.
Coach Jones is not the type OF men,
tor to permit his men to let down
and mar their good work.
A great struggle should result at
Indianapolis, where Notre Dame and
Indiana clash in their annual con-
test. The Hoosiers were beaten by
Harvard, while Notre Dame sue
cumbed to Iowa Both eievens had
hard games yesterday, but the play
ers always perform better in the
game which brings them together
in the annual battle for Hoosier
state supremacy.
Colorado to Play Chicago.
Chicago will play the University
OF Colorado in an intersectional
struggle, which will not attract
much attention from the local angle.
The Maroons, however. will have to
play foot bali, considering there will
be a natural reaction after yester-
days game with Princeton.
Two struggles of interest will be
played in the east. Pennsylvania
viii meet Pittsburgh on Franklin
field, while the strong elevens of
Penn State and Georgia Tech will
clash on the Polo grounds in New
York. Brown will meet Yale at
New Haven, Harvard will clash
with Centre at Cambridge, and Vir-
einia will be Princeton's opponent
on the Tigers gridiron. The Army
will meet Susquehanna at West
Point and the Navy will meet Beth
any at Annapolis in easy games for
the two service schools.
