Iowa had far too much line strength and the westerners gained six yards less than nothing on the ground. But, with cool-headed Bob seven for the huge total of 241 yards.

Three of his throws brought touchdowns. Moreover, Duncan's defensive play was worth more than commonplace mention and the bystanders found no fault with his calls.

Iowa may have flunked its pass defense test here Saturday but it countered with tremendously effective running and passing to chew up an outmanned Utah State football team, 70-14. Utah State, outclassed on the ground but relentless and damaging through the air, was no match for the rugged Big Ten title defenders, who met must be prefaced by the known fact that Utah State had only spunk, spirit and passing efficiency. Otherwise this game but overmatched team was not an adequate test. Against it, however, these early answers to the question "How good is Iowa?" must be recognized.

The Hawks ran for 320 yards and went overhead for even more, grabbing 328 on 10 completed passes. That counts up to 648 net yards and old heads in this spectacular scoring touchdown against Utah game in the cement oval known as Archbold Stadium.

The Bulldog quarterback rifled Drake's opening touchdowns on pitches to Walt Pohl and Jerry Mertens, triggered a 65-yard ground drive for a third score and dispatched a fourth scoring excursion with another pass. The stocky senior completed six of his 15 attempts for 110 yards slightly less than i previous aerial raid against Iowa Teachers but against much tougher opposition. South Dakota, outgained 269-89 yards by rushing, scored its touchdown at the start of the third quarter when halfback Jim Vacura went 91 yards up the middle with a kickoff return. The Jackrabbits' own pass er, Ron LaVallee, wasn't any match for LaBrasca, but he had one 65-yard touchdown pass nullified when a teammate was caught holding.

Second Triumph Beyond these two incidents the South Dakotans were never in contention as Drake moved to its second triumph.
