Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 12.-(AP)-
In a steel-grey setting, heavy with
low-hanging clouds, and finally,
drizzling rain, Iowa, fighting for
Western Conference gridiron cham
pionship acclaim, downed Ohio State,
hitherto undefeated, Ia to Z, Satur-
day in the last 60 seconds of play.
The victory leaves Iowa alone UNI
tied and undefeated in the title race,
and ruins whatever championship as
pirations had been held by the van
quished Buckeyes.
Behind the pounding feet of Maycs
McLain. churning Cherokee fullback,
the Iowans hammered the Buckeye
line to ripples in the final period, and
sent disconsolation into the heart
Of $4,000 loyal Ohioans who sat UNI
mindful of the drizzle, watching their
heroes join the ranks Of other de-
feated teams.
With the score tied at ~, the bat
tering Hawkeyes opened up with the
winning touchdown on their second
attempt. BY masterful piece of
strategy McLain, the giant Indian,
smashed his way across the Ohio
goal, ploughing through the middle
Of the line when the bewildered
Buckeyes were figuring on Irving
Nelson, the kicking specialist of the
Iowa eleven, to try for the winning
points by booting dropkick.
Nelson, whose toe beat Minnesota
two weeks ago, fell back into posi-
ton to dropkick. He was rushed
into the game an instant before with
the ball resting a foot from Ohio's
goal. AS he opened his arms, sig,.
mailing 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 went to the ploughing McLain.
The Buckeyes, taken by surprise, fell
victims to his charge at the line and
ne squirmed over for the winning
touchdown with a minute remaining
before the end of the game.
McLain, with his devastating
drives, scored both Of Iowa's touch
downs, counting first in the second
period and then in the fourth. After
Glasgow attempted a goal from
placement from the 81 yard line in
the first period, the Hawkeyes be-
gan a march to a touchdown in the
second when Farroh, the left half
back, intercepted an Ohio pass on
Iowa's AZ yard line.
With Glasgow and McLain carry
ing the ball, the Hawkeyes rushed it
to Ohio's three yard line where Me-
Lain shot around his left end for the
first marker, Nelson, the blonde kick
er, was called into the game the first
time to try for the extra point. His
drop kick was perfect, giving Iowa
a z to lead.
Ohio State displayed it's only show
Of power at the start Of the third
period when the Buckeyes marched
60 yards after the kickoff and scored
their touchdown. Holman, captain
and quarterback, in five smashes at
the line gained 80 yards, rushing the
ball to 1owa's II yard line. After
Byron Ely, the flashing Buckeye
halfback, was chased out Of bounds
for yard loss trying to circle left
end, Holman smashed through center
for Is yards, scoring a touchdown.
exactly three and one half minuteN
after the period opened. Barratt
kicked goal from placement for the
extra point, evening the score at TT.
The Hawkeyes opened up with.s
furious charge at the start of the
fourth period only to lose the ball
on Ohio's nine yard line by failure
to make downs. After two thrusts
at the line failed, Eby punted short
to Ohio's As yard line, and then be-
gan Iowa's second series of line
smashes that resulted in the winning
| touchdown.
