Young, promising and a bit jittery in stages, Iowa's Hawk eyes smashed down Indiana, 27-0, in the Big Ten opener here Saturday and earned this verdict: Inconsistent but impressive. Potent but unpolished. The Hawks easily were equal to the demands placed upon them by an Indiana team that had hoped for a better fate. They turned an Indiana fumble and an intercepted pass into a 13-0 lead in the first quarter, marched 82 yards to seal the issue in the third period, and finished up with an unnecessary seven points at the very finish' Widespread expectations of something new in the way of I yards from football upset There wasn't even time for another play "after Wildcat fvl i quart a latting Jack Enis ojee fully pounced on the ball that BtJNDAV RKOmrBR FOOTBALL PHOTO BY HON ULTAN( IOWA'S TOUCHDOWN PATH Blockers touchdown Saturday.

Cyclones, trailing by 14-0 midway in the third quarter, briskly rose up and sent halfback Latting, a juni6r transfer from Tennessee, over twice, once on a 38-yard run and egain from 15 yards out. Pressed for time with only 3 minutes 17 seconds left, Iowa State sue-' cessfully pulled off an on-side kickoff. It was recovered by Jim Kudlinskt on the Wildcat 45 after Andrius Ponclus tore receiver Andy Cverko apart.

That was" the chance, the Cyclones didn't quite pull it off. They had exhausted all five times out, four by injury, and the fumble prevented a last-play field goal try. Two were as many touchdowns as the home team, playing before 38,000 fans, could manage but the individual brilliance of Wildcat halfback Bob McKeiver won in the end. He scored twice, kicked both extra points. Short, Fast McKeiver is a 5-foot 6-inch, 160-pounder who is built like a fire plug but goes through traffic like the fire chief.

His speed and Cyclone inability to hold the football, were two large factors. Northwestern called on this slippery human 22 times and he responded for 121 yards, two of them for a first-quarter marker and 28 more for CYCLONES Continued on Page Five In the new Hawkeye rep Scores OF ALL SPORTS ertoire were the hidden balls and on one occasion an unexpected lateral.

Maglie, the comback wizard who pitched a no-hitter against Philadelphia in his last start on Tuesday, knocked over the Pirates and Dodger-killer Bob Friend with a six-hitter in the opener. He was backed up by a two-run homer by Sandy Arnoros that clinched things in the first inning. Sandy, who had been the "goat" Brooklyn's pennant scramble with a muff of a fly ball in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies, capped a three-run outburst.
