Iowa City, Ia. Oct. ~ tBy the Assoc
ciated Press Farmers of Iowa to-day
have forgotten about the price Of corn,
the market value of choice hogs and
the usual talk about bumper or lean
crops, all because rs of their sons, mem
bers 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 in Iowa's history.
Big for score Of reasons, among
which are these The rival teams are
coached by brothers--Howard Jones
and brother Tad, famous mentors Of
the Yale eleven; that all Iowa has a
sneaking notion that the Black and
Gold eleven may conquer Yale, and
most important Of all is the convic-
tion 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 spir
it, Iowa promises to give Yale the fight
OF the year when the teams square off
ON the bottom of the Yale bowl, Sat
urday afternoon.
Coach Jones promises his famous
brother everything in the way OF the
western open game that the west has
TO offer. His attack probably viii con-
sist almost entirely of shift and passes,
although he will have Captain Gordon
Locke, his great plunging fullback, at
hand any time that he elects to try the
mettle of the bull dog line. James, him
self former Yale star end and later
coach there, will be well equipped to
counter the Yale offensive.
Iowa's offensive is mixture of the
old and new in football. Captain Locke
lie used as the pivot for Coach Jones
line smashing tactics, while his ends
and half backs cooperate with the
quarter in the open passing and shift
ing game. The open style probably will
be chiefly In evidence against Yale as
Coach Jones has developed e system Of
shifts that he thinks will be effective.
Although Coach Jones lost seven let
ter men last year, his team has shown
offensive strength this year. Captain
Locke is at his old place in fullback. in
place of Aubrey Devine at left half
back have been developed Minick, a
veteran guard, who assumed Devine's
kicking role, and ParlSin, who takes
care of the generalship and the dis
patching end of passes at quarterback
Duke Slater, the giant negro, who
last season was accustomed to take
out one side of the opponents line when |
gains were needed, has been replaced |
at tackle by Englcdingsr. Engledinger |
and his running mate Thompson, one
of last years veterans, scale at 200
pounds.
For years Iowa was second division |
team, that was considered as no more |
than a good trial horse for the major
western elevens. Then came Howard |
Jones. His advent marked new pc
riod in Iowas athletics.
But two years of bitter disappoint-
ment followed while Iowa watched two |
championships fade by the barest OF
margins.
Last year, from the beginning of the
season, Iowa began preparing for the
peak of her football glory. the game
with Yale. This year the Hawkeyes,
shorn of their four great stars, still
have their slogan Iowa fights"
