ball title.
Outplayed, apparently outclassed,
in the first few minutes of play, when
the Hawkeyes displayed all their re-
puted bone-crushing power. Michigan
rallied to turn back the visitors, first
to make place kick and then touch
down.
It was the determination of slender
little halfback. Alvin Dahlem of Jack
son, Mich, that brought Michigan its
triumph. 1t was the age-old "83''-a
fake place kick formation-that gave
him the vehicle. Early in the third
period Michigan found hole between
the Iowa rightguard and tackle. and
vicious slams at this point by Capt.
Rich, Gembis and Truskowski sent the
ball to the Iowa 12-yard line.

Michigan had. other heroes than It's
minute halfback Capt Rich led the at
tack on the Iowa line and wore himself
out in defensive play. He had to leave
the game before 1t came to an end. An
other was Joe Gembis. whose place kick
toppled Illinois from the undefeated
class month ago and who played no
favorites today by adding the points
that defeated one of the Illini rivals
for the leadership.
While Iowa's powerful backs were its
major threat, the line at times more
