Iowa fouled up Wisconsin's home-; coming, 21-7, before a capac-: ity crowd of 45,000 here Sat-) urday and Bob Smith, the hustling Hawkeye halfback, was in position to make a sweeping bow when the battle ended. All Mr. Smith did was to score two of Iowa's touchdowns on runs of 31 and seven yards, distinguish himself generally and turn the tide of battle in the early stages of the fourth quarter when the score stood 7-7 and the oncoming Badgers were knocking at the scoring gate.

Smith intercepted a Wisconsin pass on Iowa's 10-yard line, raced 55 yards through the Badgers before he was hauled down, then climaxed the ensuing Iowa drive with an end sweep that brought his and Iowa's second touchdown. Until Smith turned the tide with hi interception, It hm anjbody's battle. Iowa dominated the first half only to lose its potency in the face of Wisconsin's third-quarter parsing and long-range punting barrage. The Badgers scored on a 43- yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to wipe Iowa's 7-0 half- time advantage off the board and, until the sudden change in the final 12 mtnutrs, Wisconsin's 1 chances appeared every bit as as Iowa's. To the credit of thr Hawks, this time they burst Into flame when opportunity knocked.

They converted two interceptions of Badger passes Into scor-. ing drives of their own in the fourth quarter, although In the game's earlier stages they were confronted with opportunities on which they failed to cash in. In thir two fourth-quarter touchdown drives, they mixed plunge and sweeps with Just enough passes to doom the Badgers, Although Smith, with his punting and running as well as his pass defense, was the top Hawk at the finish, he was by no LU ACK (140 1 RAWERS (A) ItO 4 -( army NOTRE DAME wmmmmmmmmmmMmmmmmmmmmtmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmiiMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 1 1 i ji iiV''mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmammmmL LUJACK PITCHING, BRENNAN RECEIVING Slipping behind the Army line, Notre Dame's fans saw Saturday in New York's Yankee Stadium.

Y. The nation's two top teams, Notre Dame and Army, remain in a class all by themselves, but no one would know it from the 0-0 tie they played hero Saturday before a listless lM-onsln preserved a long Miot chance for a piece of the title.

-Army has its Black Knights and after Saturday Indiana had its Black Despoilers. The black-garbed Hoosiers ruined Northwestern, 7-6, in a game which sent once-bright Wildcat Big Nine championship hopes out the window for good. What's more, Indiana did it the hard way and in convincing fashion, though statistics tell a false tale of a contest Just about as even as such figures ever reveal. Actually the game should have belonged to the Hoosiers long be over the tying touchdown on the very first play of the fourth quarter. Specialist Charlie AVm-strong methodically sailed the ball between the goal posts for the point that sent Northwestern crashing.

It was a game of rock-ribbed defenses. Consequently, there were few thrills." The Irish uncorked only one real touchdown thrusl but were forced to give up the ball on the Cadets' four-yard line on downs. That was in the second quarter. The Army, though it never got quite that close to scoring, did reach its opponent's nine-yard line in the same period, and moved to the 20 in the third quarter, only to be stopped when Terry Brennan intercepted a forward pass.

One mighty Iowa State touchdown surge, coming just 12 seconds before the close of hostilities, equalled a first-quarter Drake marker here Saturday as the two teams slugged out a 7-7 deadlock. Shivering in the afternoon eolil anil blanketed with sleet, 7,000 fans snapped to sudden attention tin the Cyclones, with two minutes left In this battle of traditional rivals, marched 59 yards in a beat-the-clock drive that succeeded. Once before, as the first half's end had left the Cyclones vainly stranded, pounding on the Hull-dog one-yard line, they had failed but wttli almost no second half left, they came through.

Move Down. When Bill Chauncey swiveled 21 yards to the Drake 6 near the end, the stands started emptying toward the field. And when Hon Norman rammed to the one-foot line, then siieaked across, tho pa- own terrain throughout most of the game, not so much through anything the Army players did, but because of the green-Jerseyed team's own mistakes in the way of fumbles, anil passes that an alert Army secondary intercepted. The contest also added little to the luster of the several potential all-Americas in the two lineups, except that one and all did turn in remarkable defensive performances.

Outside to tho profession, was well hot tied up and seldom could break away around the Notre Damn ulngs. Felix Blanchard, the Mr. Inside X. 0 of the West Pointers, made a few gains through the line, but not consistently. For the most part Saturday they were just Mr.

Upside and Mr. Downside. But at that they looked better than any of the Irish backs. Tucker Master. It was Arnold Tucker, Army quarterback, who gloried In tha spotlight, for he not only ran hia like a master, but on defensa he fielded three Notre Dame forwards, and did quite a bit of ground-gaining, too.

His rival. Johnny Lujack, playing with an injured right ankle, also was sensational. Onca ha caught Blanchard with a game-saving tackle that undoubtedly prevented a touchdown. Lujack Saves Irish. Mr.

Inside slid off his left tackle and was away with only one green shirt, that worn by Lu-jack, between him nnd pay dirt. But the Irish safety's tackla was true, deadly and hard and it dropped the Cadet husky on th Notre Dame 35 after a 21-yard advance. This occurred in the third period and launched one of the Gray and Gold's threats. Brennan Burglarizes. Davis and Blanchard made two yards apiece in two plays and then Tucker passed to Henry Foldberg for 11 yards and a first down on the Irish 20.

But on tha next play Brennan fielded a Tucker pass and was downed on hi eight-yard line. On the first Notre Dame play Brennan relieved the tension by scampering 22 yards around his right end.
