Simmons Stars
Minnesota Wins
Against Iowa
GOPHERS TURN IN HARD
WON 1876 VICTORY TO
REMAIN UNDEFEATED
By Nellie Dodson

oy NS4LlS DOOSOu
The Minnesota Gophers, staging
a second-half comeback, turned on
the power to defeat fighting Iowa
eleven 1876 at Iowa City on Sat
urday. 1t was a hard won victory,
victory made all the more diff
cult by the elusiveness of the great
Hawkeye Negro star, Ozzie Sim
mons. Simmons squirmed and
wriggled his way through time
after time only to be stopped by
the Bierman boys just as the stadi-
UNI Homecoming crowd was on its
feet expecting a touchdown run.
Simmons team mates were
blocking for him, but the speedy
back from Fort Worth, Texas, was
usually far ahead of his blockers,
running in that upright way that
is distinctly his own. But in spite
of the Iowan's slipperiness, the
Minnesota players were prepared
for him and they kept him from
scoring by downing him before he
could get within striking distance
of the goal line.
The first half of the game was
all Iowa. Minnesota wasn't able to
quite combat the unorthodox eight
man line that the Hawkeyes had
prepared especially for the Go
pliers. The far-reaching effects of
the bad feeling brought on by
Iowa's charges that Minnesota had
roughed Simmons in the 1884 game,
told on the Bierman squad, for in
the first half they were afraid of
Simmons, afraid to go after him
with determination The two fac
tors joined in favor of the Hawk
eyes and made them serious
threat to Minnesota's title hopes
for an anxious thirty minutes.
Second Half Turning Point
In the second half, the Minnesota
boys took the field and started
right off with that vicious, relent-
/ less pounding which has worn down
every team they have met this year.
Time after time Sheldon Beise, the
charging back of the team, bucked
the Iowa line for dangerous gains.
Beise didn't go around end, he made
straight into the center of the fight,
dragging two and three Iowa men
with him on every attempt. He
fought and charged his way
through with the powerful strength
which has made him feared by all
opponents.
The Minnesota boys were cool
and determined. Babe LeVoir called
signals from that upright position
he uses, and his voice rang out
clear and calm in the misty gloom
of the afternoon. fluffy Thomp-
son, who had been stopped for short
gains in the first half, began to
shake himself loose and get into
his old stride. Nal Eiken came into
the game and made a beautiful g.
yard run before he injured his an
kle and was taken from the game.
Andy Uram began to click in the
way that his coaches have been ex-
pecting him to do all season. The
Minnesota line, feeling the Hawk
eyes weakening, added more power
to the attack, and Gopher fans who
had been anxious and worried dur
ing the first part of the game, sat
up and saw that their team was
playing the kind of football that
had brought them safely through
! to national championship in 1884.

WEEK
PLANS REVIVED

WASHINGTON. March 4 Up
Senator Black D-Ala) said Monday
that government statistics had
clinched the argument In favor OF hlA
plan for q compulsory 30-hour work
week.
He pointed to estimates that more
than 100000 people are still un-
employed although industrial acti-
witty has increased to so per cent OF
the 1923-25 production. The figures
were made public recently by NRA
officials and the federal reserve
board respectively.
Black voiced his opinion just after
the American Liberty League had
thrown itself into the battle against
the Black and Connery 30-hour week
bills with a declaration that they ars
unconstitutional. Black said:
The fact that we had 80 per Cent
OF l923-25 production last month
with more than 100000 0 still I'M
employed in conclusive proof that u
we had 100 per cent production Old
present working hours we would
still be compelled to support millions
Of people through public taxes"
The Liberty League said Sunday
