"A smooth passing attack
failed to save George Wash
ington University from defeat
at the hands of a heavier uni
versity of Iowa eleven today. The
Hawkeyes marched down the
field for a touchdown at the
opening of the second quarter
and maintained the lead to win,
Z to O.
Only twice did the Colonials
advance into Old Gold territory.
At the opening Of the game, with
Carlin and Fenlon carrying the
ball, the visitors advanced to the
Hawkeye 40-yard line, where
Carlin fumbled and Iowa recov-
cred.
The second weak gesture from the
Eastern outfit came late in the third
quarter after quick kick executed by
Hickman of Iowa took Fenlon by sur
prise, sailed over his head and rolled
to the George Washington 15-yaro
stripe.
The defeated team came back strong
momentarily. A l5-yard pass, Fenion
to Parrish, brought the ball to the Colo
NAL 30-yard line, and another pass,
Fenlon to Chambers, added yards
After a 5-yard penalty for ofside the
ball sailed from the palm of Fenlon
into Old Gold territory for the last
time It was caught and downed by
Chambers on Iowa's 45-yard line.
Colonial Flankmen Shine.
George washington's great ends,
Chambers and Mulvey. and the backs,
Fenlon and Carlin, were the main
springs Of the Eastern machine. both
| extensively and defensively. While Iowa
! gained 235 yards from scrimmage as
| compared with the invaders 70, most
of the Hawkeyes' gains were made
through tackles and guards, with Capt.
Sansen, the 190-pound Hawkeye fun
back, carrying everything before him.
| Sansen advanced the oval 118 yards in
for bringing the ball to the Eastern B.
yard line, from which Hickman drove
| of tackle for touchdown.
While the supremacy of the 1owanS
on the ground was evident, the supe-
ricrity of the visitors in the air was
even more obvious. Here again, Fenlon,
Carlin and Chambers were the chief
threats, with Parrish taking share IN
the honcrs. George Washington gained
IS yards on six completed losses, while
Iowa completed a lone pass for a 2-yard
advance.
The discouraging phase of the Wash
| ington offenAe came in the form OF
three intercepted passes, when the Co
lonials took long chances in an effort
to score. One came at the opening OF
! the fourth quarter when the Colonials,
! seeing their last chance to score, at
| tempted long pass and it was inter
copied by Hickman on his own 43-yard
line.
Hawkeyes Break Ice.
The touchdown with which Iowa won
the game was the first scored by the
, Hawkeyes this season. Ciphers have
been hung up after the Old Gold In
three decisive defeats previously, and
Indiana was held to a ScoreleSS tie. The
| offensive drive which was shown today
came after week devoted entirely to
ball carrying and blocking practice and
three stiff scrimmageS.
| Cariin was the only visiting back who
could consistently penetrate the Iowa
defense. He gained total of 40 yards
in IL attempts. Fenlon carried the ball
but five times and made only yards.
Gsorge Washington is the third East
ern team to be defeated by an Iowa
aggregation. Only Pittsburgh, who
carried off the lorg end of a 20-to-0
score October 3, can boast of having
carried an Old Gold scalp back East.
| Penn State was beaten, 19 to O, last
year. and Yale fell decade ago when
Iowa had Western Conference cham
pionship eleven.
