FOR YALE IS MIXTURE
OF old, new TACTICS
az Assoclated Press

IOWA CITY, Ia, Oct. 12.-Farmers
of Iowa today have forgotten about
the price of corn; the market value of
choice hogs and the usual talk about
bumper or lean crops all because 25 OF
their sons, members of the University
of Iowa football eleven, 1921 champions
of the Western conference, are on
their way to New Haven, Conn, to
play Yale in the Yale bowl Saturday
In the biggest football game of Iowa's
history.
Big for a score of reasons, among
which are these: The rival teams are
coached by brothers-Howard Jones,
and brother Tad, famous mentor OF the
Yale elevens; that all Iowa has
sneaking notion that the Black AMI
Gold eleven may conquer Yale, and
most important of all is the conviction
that "Iowa fights no matter how
tough the opposition.
Iowa's championship eleven of
year ago made that slogan famous in
the midwest. With the same fighting
spirit, Iowa promises to give Yale the
fight of the year when the teams
square off on the bottom of the Yale
bowl Saturday afternoon.
Coach Jones promises his famous
brether everything in the way of the
Western open game that the West has
to offer. His attack probably will
> consist almost entirely of shifts and
passes, although he will have Captain
Gordon Locke, his great plunging full
back, at hand at any time that he
elects to try the mettle of the bulldog
line. Jones, himself a former Yale
star end, and later an assistant coach
!, there will be wellequipped to counter
the Yale offensive.
Iowa's offensive is mixture OF the
old and new in football. Captain
Locke is used as a pivot for Coach
Jones' line smashing tactics, while his
ends and half backs cooperate with
the quarter in the open passing and
shifting game. The open style prob
ably will be chiefly evidence against
Yale as Coach Jones has developed q
system of shifts that he thinks will be
effective.
Strength Shown
Although Coach Jones lost seven let
ter men last year, his team has shown
offensive strength this season. Cap
tain Locke Is at his old niche at full
back. In place of Aubrey Devine, all
American quarterback, two men have
been eveloped-Minick, veteran
guard, who assumed Devfne's kicking
role, and Parkin, who takes care o
the generalship and the dispatching O
passes at quarterback.
Duke" Slaughter, the giant negro
who last season was accustomed II
take out one side of the opponents
line when gains were needed, was re
placed at tackle by Engledinder, Yves
Point two-year man. Engledinder ant
his running mate, Thompson, one o
last years veterans, scale at 20
pounds
