Coach Forest Evashevski put all his chips on a 6-3-2 defense and hit the jackpot Saturday. His Iowa Hawkeyes contained Minnesota's Bobby Cox and upset the Gophers, 7-0, to move within striking distance of representing the Eig Ten in the Rose Bowl on Jan.

It was the first time this season that Cox had been unable to move consistently on his pet roll-out plays, and he also said the Iowa defense had strategist, who keeps his opponents off-guard with a variety of offenses, came up with a new twist in preparing the Hawks for the Gophers. He kept his offense intact and decided to go mostly with a 6-3-2 defense to stop Cox, who has been the inspirational leader of the Gophers in the last four games. Evy won't admit he used Gophers are not a passing team." Minnesota completed six of 16 passes for 71 yards.

Cox's net yardage for the afternoon was 53 on 16 carries for a 3.3 per rush average. His pre-game average was 4.7 per rush.

"It was a team victory," added Warmath. "I couldn't actually single but any one Iowa individual player as a star. "But I had a feeling something was going to happen early the game when Bob Schultz fumbled. "You can't make mistakes and beat a team like Iowa. It was a fine Iowa team, make no mistake about that." Warmath was in the same position was in at Iowa City last Saturday when Michigan came from behind to beat Iowa, 17-14.

"We Were Up" Whipped in one of the most crucial games of his career, Warmath added: "I believe we were up, but you never know. "We started the boys slowly in practice this week because we didn't want to bring them up too fast, but Friday I thought we had the liveliest practice since I've been at Minnesota." Warmath found nothing wrong with his club's defensive but he said he's seen his Gophers perform better on offense. "Maybe Iowa's line had something to do with our offense. Please don't give the fans the idea I'm alibi-ing. Iowa is definitely a good team.

"Which is usually the case Cox Explains Cox himself explains the Iowa defense better than any other individual. I couldn't go outside.

The Gopher players, to a man, seemed dazed in their dressing room. They were groping for words, but their mistakes had them talking to themselves. Bob Hobert, Minnesota's tackle candidate for all-Amer ica honors, thought this was the second best Iowa team he played against in his three years. "They're Fighters" "That 1954 gang that came up here was the best one I've played against," said Hobert.

"You've got to hand it to those Hawks. They're fighters. "We helped their cause by own own mistakes. Then, again, maybe that line may have had something to do with our mistakes.
