COLUMBUS, Ohio, November H.
Anyone wishing to see a great eleven
had better take a good look at that of
Iowa University. The boys coached by
Burt Ingwersen beat Ohio State by as
fine a display of power and speed as
is likely to be seen on any field.
When Iowa won some of its earlier
victories there was a disposition to at
tribute a good part of its success to
the breaks of the game. Excuses were
made for rivel elevens. Their injuries
and mental attitudes were prominently
mentioned. The chances are that Iowa
has won all of its games this season
because it was strictly the better team.
After watching Iowa and Ohio play,
one has the impression that Wilce's
material has been overestimated and
Ingwersen's undereStimated.
There is no doubt that the Prince
ton game took lot out of the Ohio
and that Iowa came to the contest
In better all around condition, but it
Is hard to believe that the team the
State of tall corn would not have won
anyhow.
Buckeyes are Clever.
Ohio has a fine quarterback in
Holmon-he looks more like half
back-a grand interfering back in
Kriss, fast back in Eby, splendid
end in Fesle and a good end in Surina.
It has good linemen in Ujheli, Bar
rett and Raskowsky, but none Of these
three showed himself a really great
player.
The best tackle on the field was
Schleusner Of Iowa and the best guard
was Westra of Iowa, fine man to lead
interference and strong man on de-
Tense Roberts, the other Iowa guard,
Is also efficient. Reedquist is good
end.
In the backfield Iowa has q German
Dane in Armil, a Syrian in Farroh, a
uuarterblood fair and blue-eyed Indian
in McLain, and Glassgow-who is a
bear. This Glasgow is one Of the best
backs of the year. He is dark-haired
lad, who stands Eve feet nine and
whose weight is given as 100 pounds.
When he plunges through line ne
weighs q couple of tons. He Is a hard,
swift and shifty runner, difncult to
tackle and to hold. He picks his open
ings quickly and goes through them
like a whippet under full headway.
There isn't doubt that he Is aided
by such interferers as McLain ana
Westa he also is sold on the axiom
that the Lord helps those who help
themselves. He can run, pass ana
tackle with the best.
McLain runs like bull, fairly
straight up with his knees churning
high. Some one once told me that
he would stop if he was hit, but he
seems to do most of his stopping hve
yards or more behind the other fel-
lows line. If he hits a tackler, he
hurts him. Ingwersen said that when
McLain got to running hard IN prac-
tice, he would not permit the serup
to tackle him for fear too many OF
them would be laid out.
The spirit of the Iowa team may be
judged by the manner OF its second
touchdown. It had made its FIRST score
at the very close of the first half: In
the third quarter Holman, practlca!iy
unaided, had carried the ball across Tor
Ohio. When Barratt kicked the goal
the count was Z to 7.
Team Votes on Play.
With less than two minutes left to
go in the last quarter, Iowa had the
ball within yard and half OF the
Ohio goal line, and 1t was fourth down.
Under these circumstances, 1ngWersen
sent in Irving Nelson of Omaha, spe-
cialist who hasn't missed a goal this
season, and who goes In, does his STUN,
and goes out.
