raverted danger and a goal line saved
| There was no longer even the frenziet
shout of Hold 'em Yale!" 1t was thirt
down and the penalty had saved the
day.
| Iowa lined up, .Parkin called his own
signal and started with wild stampede
around Mike 'Eddy's end. ,Parkin didn't
run alone. Kipling knew nothing of
| football when lhs wrote '"He travels
farthest who travels alone" Parkin
travelled at Coyote speed behind two
1ast running mates, cut out far to the
right, cut in as Eddy .dived and failed
struck the ground three feet short of
the goal and then, with last, des-
perate~ whirl and wiggle, showed the
ball across the line as 5000 Western
, throats sent their triumphant chal-
lenge to AN Eastern sky.
That one sudden, destructive rush of
Leland Parkin and his Hawkeye mates
was quite enough. 1t scored q touch
down and that was all Iowa needed,
with the Yale attack in a complete
trance, completely helpless in the first
two quarters and unable later to plant
a football ,cleat inside of Iowa's fifteen
yard line.
Yale came to life in the fourth quar-
tor. as Iowa sagged badly, but Iowa
had the game won and Yale had moth
ing worth a score.
football and Ted Nights kicking was
q pearl of purest ray serene, but the
l7NIaie attack was confined to marrow,
non deceptive limits, slow, uncertain
and far below the expected standard
even with Jordan, ,O'Hearn and Beckett
missing.
There were $4,000 in the stands, who
at the start of the second half sat ,ex-
peotant, waiting for Yale to uncover
something worth while.
But they sat in vain as the gray
clouds ,drifted into gathering dusk,
with Yale fighting desperately as one
Once near the approaching battles
end Yale drove the ball within twenty
yards Of the Western goal, only to have
center Lovejoy break UP the advance
by a wild pass that Topped off low to
one side and completely wrecked the
long march. Again, Just few min
utes later, by the sheer power of the
Yale line and the relentless drives of
Wight and Neidlinger, the Bulldog
carried the ball fifty-three yards from
his own thirty yards to within easy
striking distance of the Iowa goal
Forward Pass Fails
But here, poised upon the Hawkeyes'
l7-Yard line, the Yale attack had no
deception with which to break through
the strong Western defense that had
become compact and alert, and at til "a
iHlpmentous era Wight threw a forward
pass over the line on the third down
with no one even near the ball as it
struck the turf and practically ended
the days program. That was Yale's
last big chance, and when the moment
came she was helpless to meet the
emergency.
Yale's forward passing was a terrible
thing to see. Terrible is the only word
that fits, for out of six attempts the
Blue failed to complete even one pass
into hostile territory. Three of these
attempted efforts found the passer
waiting in vain for some one to reach
a clearing and take the ball. He wait
ed in vain, peering eagerly into all open
spaces until finally some &iowa star
would pounce upon him and pound him
TO the Eastern earth. On the other
any one even close, as it was either i'm
tercepted or incompleted It may be
stated here that Yale missed O'Hearn,
Jordan and Beckett beyond all measure
and TINT Neidlinger, fine half, was in
experienced and out Of place at quar-
terback
Iowa's Attack CrumpIes
But even this would hardly have ac-
counted for the Bulldogs poor often
siye showing In the fourth game of
the year, wheY4 Iowa had known only
ons runaway practice and was not sup
posed to be nearly as far along as her
Eastern rival.
After scoring her first touchdown in
the second period Iowa's attack went
completely to seed Bob Parkin and
Locke were badly windel and there
was NO one else to carry on the drive.
They had been rushed to death, Parkin
especially carrying crushing burden
as he took the ball on play after play.
~ the last two periods the Western
struggling yards against the Blue de-
ing herself about another drive. Her
main problem now was to hold Yale at
bay, and Yale helped this excellent
idea out by two bad passes from CEN
ter and by a complete inability to
show anything VIXEN deep in enemy
terrain. You can't keep on hammering
your way through q game, strong de-
fense by sheer drive when near
well defended goal line, And it was
here that Yale lost her chance.
Mallory Is Yale Strength
Through no small part of the battle
the big contest was between Parkin
and Mallory, Parkin dashing through
for Iowa with Mallory snagging him
for Yale. Mallory is without question
the greatest defense haifback in the
East, q tackler who isn't to be denied
once he scents or sees his prey. AS
the Western tornado, twisting, wbiri-
ing, wiggling with his body, sliding
sway frSM blue arms, wouid almost
reRch the open spaces, Mallory would
meet him back Of the line and the two
