Clever Strategy Counts.
With the score tie at to 7, the bat
tering Hawkeyes opened up with their
winning touchdown on their second at
tempt BY masterful piece of strategy
McLairl, the giant Indian, smashed his
way across the Ohio goal, blowing
through the middle of the line when
the bewildered Buckeyes we're figuring
on Irving Nelson. the kicking specialist
of the iowa eleven, to try for the win
ming points by booting a drop-kick,
Nelson. whose toe beat Minnesota
two weeks ago, fell back into position
to drop-kick. He was rushed into the
game an instant before with the ball
resting a foot from Ohio's goal. AS
he opened his arms, signaling for the
ball to be passed to him, the strategy
that won the game was brought into
play.
Instead of passing to Nelson, the oval

Buckeyes taken by surprise, fell vic
tins to his charge at the line and he
squirmed over for the winning touch
down with minute remaining before
the end of the game.

touchdown. Holman, captain and quar-
terback, in five smashes at the line,
gained 80 yards, rushing the ball to
Iowas 12-yard line. After Byron Eby,
the fashy Buckeye halfback, was chased
out of bounds for yard loss trying to

furious charge at the start of the
fourth period only to lose the ball on
Ohio's 9-yard line by failure to
make downs. After two thrusts at the

45.yard line and then began 1owas
second series of line smashes that re-
suited in the winning touchdown.
