Walking along the edge of a swamp, I fpund a well-beaten game trail. Under the low overhanging branches of a pine tree I could see where a deer had stood for some time. Fresh tracks led on up the ravine. Soaring ravens, sensing the un usual activity below, cawed harshly and almost stopped in flight to look us over suspiciously. Climbing over a rocky hill took away the chill of the 15-degree temperature.

Suddenly a shot reverberated through the forest, a pause, then three in rapid succession. "Oh, Jack, I got 'im, I got 'im," came an exhuberant shout. I arrived on the scene at about the same time as Jack. Baker and there was Ivan Bridges with his first deer and the first to be bagged -on the trip. It was a big doe.

A crowd of some 50,000 persons paid little heed to 30-degree temperatures and slushy seats in the Iowa football stadium Saturday afternoon. Their only interest was watch ing the Iowa Hawkeyes defeat heavily-favored Minnesota, 13 to 7, in a Dad's day game. The excitement and the shouting didn't subside when the final gun went off.

None of this reported dissen- tion was evident in the game which Iowa traditionally points for or in the locker room Satur day. The players were free with their praise of the doctor and be was just as free in his praise of them. Anderson, after the game, said he had no further comment on his resignation.

But when he was chatting with a hign scnooi prospect later ne remarked: "I want to see you down here whether I'm here or not." Happy for Team.
