Jug Girard, who performed behind a set of charging forwards who completely dominated the play, Wisconsin strung together a series of long runs, sledging drives, and passes to run up the ecore. It took, in fact, a 31-yard touchdown pass fror.i Al DiMarco to Bob Longley with a minute left to play to prevent Dr. Eddie Anderson from absorbing his worst defeat in his tenure at Iowa. Speed Spills Iowa, Wisconsin, with almost any of the many combinations that Harry Stuldreher sent into play, was a great ball team Saturday. It was in the matter of speed, both by running backs and charging linemen, that it outclassed the Hawks.

That Badger line that opened the holes for fleet backs to scoot 310 yards on the ground in turn held Iowa's rushes to a ret gain cf 20 yards. Iowa Tackling Bad. Two other factors, terrific downfield blocking by an alert Badger eleven, and inept tackling by the Hawks, played a huge part in determining the pace of the game. Twice, in the opening quarter, fleet Jug Girard swept for crippling touchdowns on punt returns of 64 and 85 yards. His path was swept completely clear by his teammates.

AMit Self. Then, after Johnny Estes had parked Iowa In a 65-yard touchdown drive that ended with Bob Smith ramming over, this same Girard crashed a deadly open-field block into Iowa's right end, permitting Clarence Self to scoot 11 yards for a touchdown. Iowa, as it has in all previous bail games this season, lost the toss, and Wisconsin elected to kick. Hawks Bog Down. The Hawks, with Lou King teasing to End Bob McKenzie for STATISTICS.
