The Boflernakers were never able

hard to win their second Big Ten vie
tory.

seemed to shake the confidence Of the
squad, however. and the team that
went down before the Evanston out

was the big thorn IN the side of Pur-

twelve of the points. Mckenzie ac-
counted for the other markers.
The much touted Michigan team
fell before the Iowa aggregation in
another one of those tight guarding
tits. The score was close enough for
any one, IS to II. Field goals were
few and far between and the teams
battled the forty minutes with neither
at any time having a safe margin Of
lead.
The Hawkeyes pulled the game out
Of the fire in the last moments OF
play with two field goals. The game
was a thriller. Iowa and Wisconsin
