(The Register's Iowb New? Service.) SIOL'X CITY Fifty-five hun dred fans watched Iowa State college turn back Morningside here Saturday, 20 to 6, In a game that was more hard fought than the icore Indicates. Statistics show that Morningside outgained the Cyclones on both passing and running plays from scrimmage with a total of 241 yards to 185. The Maroons completed seven passes out of 14 attempts for a total gain of 69 yards while Iowa State's three passing attempts were grounded.

An Entire Team. Lawrence Smith, Morningside halfback who made the longest gain of the evening 62 yards and who did all the passing, signal calling and punting for the Maroons, averaged 4 3J yards on 11 punts while Bowen of the Cyclones averaged 41 In 13. Coach Veenker's Cyclones didn't seem to unleash their full power except at widely separat ed moments. It was midway of the first period before Iowa State elected to do any ball carrying and the initial attack consisted of a 49-yard dash around right end by Richard Grefe. That ex cursion brought the ball to Mornlngside's 31-yard line.

Imp- son knifed through tackle for five yards and a 15-yard penalty slapped on the Maroons brought the ball into scoring territory, Duesenberg made two on a spin ner, Grefe circled end for four and Duesenberg hit the line for four more. From the 1-yard stripe, Grefe circled end for the touchdown and Trupsdell, a substitute, failed to placeklck for the point. Duesenberg Scores. After an exchange of punts that began the second period, Iowa State gained an advantage as Grefe returned L. Smith's boot to Mornlngside's 30-yard line.

On a spinner, Duesenberg went off tackle for the remaining distance and the second touchdown. Grefe booted the point. With the 13-point lead, the Iowa State offensive again subsided as the half came to a close. ine Maroons opened with a flash of power as the second half began, L. Smith going through tackle for a first down ton the first play after the klckoff.

A couple of more attemnts failed however, and the usual exchange oi punts followed. Goes 62 Yards.

Again at the end of the quarter, Morningside had the ball deep in Its own territory but a series of fine punts by Smith one of them for 64 yards gradually worked the Maroons out of danger early In the last period.

The Register.) IOWA CITY A well conditioned, smoothly working University of Pittsburgh football team tore the University of Iowa's Inexperienced and badly battered forward wall to pieces, bit by bit, here Saturday afternoon, thrust its fast and elusive ball totert through the holes made In the line and scored a 20 to 0 triumph over the Hawkeyes In the latter' opening game of the season. Coach Jock Sutherland of Pittsburgh put a veteran well conditioned and In midseason form, on the field to combat the Iowa team which was badly riddled by injuries tfuatained is practice and by illness. The Panthers, who began training soon after Labor day In a mountain camp and who had one game under their belts when they came here, were entirely too far developed for the Hawkeyes. Just Like a Clock. Their plays clicked and ran with precision.

Their spinners and their reverses, with a Pittsburgh line In front of them composed entirely ot seniors, simply tore the Iowa wall into shreds, and bad it not been for some fine work in backing up this line by the backfield men and especially by Capt. Oliver Sansen, the score undoubtedly would have been much more onesided. Seven players whom Coach Burton Ingwersen had counted on as regulars either could not play or were unable to remain la the conflict long because of injuries or illness. Magnussen, regular center of 1929; Samuel-son and Foster, first choices for the tackle positions; Elmo Nelson, a second string back, and Merten, a regular end, did not see service at all, and Dolly, last year's center, and Swaney saw service only a short time. Iowa Tackles Weak.

It was the tackles who were unable to do their part in stemming the tide of bright blue Pittsburgh jerseys which swarmed over and through the line with one of them having a football attached at one end and a pair ot sturdy, fast legs at the other. The Hawkeye tackles were simply pitiful In comparison to the experienced men they faced. Twice they let opposing forwards through to block punts. The Iowa forwards not only were Impotent defensively but they could not block well enough to permit such sterling backs as Hickman and Sansen to get under way at all. When the ball was snapped the easterners swarmed all over the Iowa ball carrier, who usually was smothered for a loss or a very small gain.

It was not until the final quarter when the visitors had substituted freely that the Hawkeyes were able to make a first down. In that period they made three, one of them the result of a successful forward pass which was good for about 12 yards. Made Them Angry. The Pittsburgh team was penalized heavily but the loss ot a few yards apparently did nothing but incense the players who usually came right back to make up the loss with ground to spare. The Invaders scored their touchdowns In the first, second and third quarters, but although thev threatened twice In the closlne period they could not get over the final challt mark, one attempt Just before the final whistle comlna to an end when a forward pass was grounded in the end gone.

At another time the Iowa team took: the ball on downs Inside Ita 1-yard line. This defense. If It did not exactly prevent a score, at least delayed H. First In First Period. The first Pittsburgh touchdown came in the middle of the Initial ouarter when the Panthers received the ball on their 31-yard line from a punt.

Like lightning they were and always with stunning suddenness.

First it was Joe Sheeketskl you won't have heard much about him for he is one of the newcom ers. Like a bolt out ot tne Diue, Sheeketskl took the ball at the very start of the second stanza. The linemen took out their men and Joe. like a bounding deer, was in the clear. He steamed into the open and then sigzagged down the field for 70 yards, see sawing to throw off the pursuit of a big red jerseyed Indiana man who would have nailed bim.

BY GLEX BKIXHAl'ER. (Dei Moines Tribune 8taff Writer.) A heavy and rangy Central High school team of Sioux City steamrolled its way to a' 6 to 0 victory over a smaller but plucky East High eleven at the Drake stadium Saturday afternoon. East was greatly outweighed and was outscored but the Red and Black chargers were far from outfought. The brawn of the invaders was just too big a handicap for the local grldders to overcome, although they put up a desperate and brilliant ef fort in the last half, outplaying their beefy rivals by a comforta ble margin. Victory March.

Central started its victory march about midway in the first quarter when Epstein, captain and 215-pound right end, who has scarcely an ounce of fat on his huge frame, recovered a fumble on East's 4 7-yard line. Barnard, hard driving half, picked up nine yards in his first attempt at right tackle. East was then penalized five yards and it was first down for Central on the Red and Black's 39-yard stripe. Ewalt made it first and 10 again on East's 25-yard marker behind perfect interfer ence around left end after Bernard had failed to gain at center. Spinner Fails.

On a spinner, McDonough, fullback, failed to gain, but Bernard plowed through right tackle again for eight yards. Central was then penalized five yards but a pass, Bernard to Ewalt, made it first down on the Red and Black's 13-yard line. Ber nard picked up four yards and three more successive tries at the line carried the ball to the 1-foot line for first and goal- Here the East line converted itself into a stone wall momen tarily and Central was held for no gain on one play but on the next play Bernard smashed over. On the try for the extra point, Central was penalized 15 yards. Ewalt's kick was low and Cen tral had a 6 to 0 lead, which It held, although East threatened several times only to be stopped by penalties or passes over the goal line.

CEDAR FALLS A Bcrappy Grinnell college football team which took advantage of Its openings scored two touchdowns and defeated the Iowa Slate Teachers college eleven in a hard fought battle here Saturday, 12 to 0. Grlnnell's margin of victory was well earned as the Pioneers displayed a much better offense than the Tutors, gaining considerable more yardage than Coach Munn Whitford's eleven.

Hank Thomas, the elusive Grinnell quarterback, Tarried off the big honors for the Pioneers. This shifty halfback was the big ground gainer for Coach Lester Watt's team and it was his ac curate forward passing that paved the way to both tne Grinnell touchdowns. The first Grinnell score came shortly after the opening kickoff. A Pioneer punt was fumbled near midficld and the ball was recovered by the visitors. Thomas to Ullrich.

Four plays through the line gave Grinnell a first down and on the- next attempt, Thomas heaved a pass to Dick Ullrich, which the latter nabbed on the run. Dick sprinted down the side of the field, being run out of bounds on the 7-yard line. Thomas went around the Teach ers' left side of the line for five yards on the next play. The Tutor defense stiffened at this point and two Grinnell plunges were stopped on the line of scrimmage. On the fourth down Thomas heaved a pass over the center of the line which was caught by Duncan in the end zone for a touchdown.

The kick for the extra point, was wide. Spinners Work, Grlnnell's second touchdown came in the third period. The Pioneers took the ball on their o-n 40-yard line and gained 25 yards on spinner plays through the line. Again Thomas caught the Teachers defense off guard and heaved a pass to Ullrich. The latter was run out ot bounds on the 14-yard line.
