In this quarter a clipping penalty also set back the midwest-ern team, after a fake pass on which Moss handed the ball to Eddleman for a run of 29 yards for what would have been a first down on the Army 16. Moss Smothered. In the final period the Mini lost the ball on downs on their opponent's 27 and their last attempt to score in the waning moments of the hectic battle was frustrated when Moss, back to pass, was thrown for a 12-yard loss by Bennie Davis, thus forcing an out-of-bounds kick.

Terhapa It was the first time the Hawks played In their own class this year, but their activity on tho gridiron Saturday was on tho brighter side. The shade of Nile Klnnick was seen In the performance of bouncing DiMarco, who successfully executed 10 of 14 passes for 19 yards. Tunnell Scores S. Three of the six passes Tunnell snagged were for touchdowns.

Altogether the Iowa Negro back, who catches a football like Jo DiMaggio shags flies in the outfield, covered 155 yards as a receiver. The ground attacks of the tw teams were on par. Iowa had 103 net yards rush- -ing to Indiana's 101. George Taliaferro, as was expected, was Indiana's biggest yardage contributor.

Three line thrusts, two by Headington and one by Tunnell, were good for a first down on th 30. After Tunnell was stopped ia his tracks on a wide sweep, Di-i Marco faked a pass and ran with the ball to the Indiana 24.

By Maury White. (Staff Writer.) MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Bruising Minnesota line play brought about three costly first quarter Northwestern errors here Saturday, rocketing the Gophers off to an early 16-0 lead that enabled them to coast to an eventual 37-21 Big Nine victory. A howling home crowd of the largest ever assembled in Memorial Stadium watched Minnesota quickly convert two Wildcat fumbles into tallies, and in between shove Northwestern back over its own goal. Wildcats Come Back.

Then, when a scoring rout seemed in the wind, the fans took to the edges of their seats again and watched a fine assortment of Wildcat backs, explosive around ends and through the air, come back to reach a climax that taw them scoring 14 points in the final period.
