runner III the history Of modern
football, that team is the Uni
versity Of Iowa, coached by Burt
IngwersOn, product Of Illinois foot
ball and familiar with Oranges
characteristics as the veteran err
Gus man is falimiar with the smell
of tan bark.
This statement Is not the writ
er's own. It was made to him to-
day on the eve Of the Illinois Iowa
game by Bob Zuppke, Illinois
coach. He based his opinion on
several existing conditions, TO wit,

Iowa this fall and not only knows

THAT McIlwain. official pathfinder
for Grange, has a broken bone in
his wrist. and although ready to
start the game may lack some Of
his pristine ability or whatever he
has. 1se
That Iowa's veteran team with q
N1le average over 1876 pounds and

1lclently fool proof, defensively, to
emharrass even q miracle man.

They tell the story here Of Grange

manage to muster q sour counte-

when we stepped out last Mon
day we thought we would be IN

Zupplxe. Instead, Grange turned
up with g cold and Mc1lwain, fell
and broke q bone IN his wrist.
