however, 1t would firmly state Rus

perior offense and one to a Yale fum- ble.
 Yale also had four chances. Two of them were due to loose handling of the ball by Iowa, one to blocked Iowa punt and one to the brilliant end game flash of power which is typified by Yale's premier football song, March, March On Down The Field" Inability to throw the forward pass was the chief factor in Yale's failure to make the best of it's chances. Yale did not complete one forward pass throughout the game. while Iowa had four successful ones for a gain of 59 yards. It seems as it Yale adopted Willie Keeler's motto for hitting a baseball, and made it throw them where they ain't." While Iowa revised it a bit too, throw them where they are."
