WINTER HAVEN, Fla, March is
AS the Mats picked up the thread
Of their Grapefruit League cam
paigning and moved here today
to play the Giants, Manager Bucky
Harris viewed things with mixed
emotions.
Nostalgia memories we're aroused
in Bucky's mind yesterday as the
Washington firm. meeting an Ameri-
can League opponent for the first
time this year, sustained a 2-to-0
defeat to the hands of the Cleveland
Indians. The Mats, you may recall
were frequently shut out last year.
Balancing the outlook, however
was the pitching performance of
young Early Wynn, 20-year-old
right-hander from Charlotte. Be-
fore he made his 1910 debut, Early
was regarded by Harris as the Mats
No. 10 pitcher. Today, in the wake
Of a fine three-inning performance,
he was moved up in rank.
Tribe Hops on Jacobs.
Early was the silver lining in the
cloud that settled over the Mats in
Fort Myers. Even Harris could
forget that his team outhit the In
dams. that his men left 10 runners
stranded on the bases and that once
they made three consecutive hits
with none out and still failed to
score. Bucky was able to forget all
OF this, thanks to young Wynn.
Early, of course, could use O. year
In fast minor league company. BY
rights he has no business trying to
Jump from the Piedmont to the
American League at 20 years of age
But Wynn is fast and he's got q
curve ball and, in general, he con-
ducts himself with more assurance
and with more poise than he ever
had before In a Washington train
ing camp.
Wynn came into the game afte,
the Indians had put together fou,
OF their six hits in the first innina
and scored both of the runs. Bucky
Jacobs, who won 18 games fol
Springfield, was the pitcher. Bucky
did all right after weathering the
first round, but between the Mats
inability to make their hits count
and a strong wind which blew into
the faces Of the hitters, it was too
late.
The youngster, Wynn, was a little
nervous when he came into the game
The first Indian to face him. JEFF
Heath, singled. But here Earlv
pulled himself together and followed
by hurting three hitless and runless
innings. One Of the last things he
did was to fan Heath the next time
JEFF came to the plate.
Gilberto Torres, the skinnv Cu-
ban, finished the game for the Mats
giving up one hit in the last two
innings. Gilberto looked pretty
good but Harris isn't seriously con-
sidering him. Wynn was the Mr.. Big
among the rookie pitchers today,
Wynn and Sid Hudson.
Resuming competition with the
National Leagues Giants today, the
Mats were to look at three more
pitchers so far untested in official
exhibition campaigning. Rene Mon
teagudo, little Cuban southpaw, was
to start against the club which
Washington licked last Sunday, 5-4,
and was to be followed by Joe

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Nov. %
Iowa's proud Hawkeyes haughtily
Stunned an Illinois invitation to
share the Western Conference foot
ball cellar today by crushing the Il
lini, 10 to 7. before $4,000 fans.
The zuppkemen, seeking their
first major victory of the season,
drove the Hawks dizzy with tricky
formations in the first half to take
a 7-to-6 lead.
Iowa, however. recovered its poise
in the second half to drive to its
second Big Ten victory in five games
Bleak Year for Illinois.
1t was the fifth conference defeat
for Coach Bob Zuppkes team, leav-
ing the Illini all alone at the bot
tom of the standings. 1t ended the
first campaign since 1881 that a
Zuppke-coached team had failed to
beat at least one top-f1ight oppo-
nent.
Sophomore Dick Good rifled a
pass to George Bernhard in the
first period for the Illinois touch
down. Quarterback Ralph Ef1ni
place-kicked the point and the game
took on the appearance of a typical
Zuppke surprise party.
Two sophomores, Bernard Mertes
and Tom Farmer. amply assisted by
hard-driving Bill Green, rallied
Iowa's offensive forces. Mertes
topped q 64-yard march with a s.

Bill Gallagher missed the try for

Capt. Mike Enich, playing his last
game for Iowa, recovered tumble

the third period. The Hawks ad-
vanced to the IT. where Mertes raced
around Illinois right end for a
touchdown. AL Couppee missed the
place kick.
Farmer Goes for Touchdown.
Mertes intercepted an Illini pass
on the visitors SO a moment later.
The Hawkeyes pounded TO the Is,
and then Farmer drove hard around
the Illini left end for the final
touchdown. Farmer missed a drop
kick for the point.
Statistically. Iowa had the ad-
vantage chiefly because the Hawks
completely commanded activities in
the second half Iowa rolled up II
first downs to for Illinois.
