fo)ra Brag Hoosier defenses to ribbons. Another thing happened Saturday. Iowa scored more points during the first half 27 than during any four quarters previously this season. Bash was behind that and so were Iowa's usual troublemakers tailback Levi Mitchell and fullback Tim Sullivan. MITCHELL was up to his old tricks of filtering through Individual Statistics cracks in opposing lines.

He was marvelous, flitting about in Indiana's backyard for 113 yards in 13 carries during the first half alone. Sullivan had his say about Indiana's demise, too.

Of paramount importance may have been the emergence of a starting quarterback at last, senior reserve Roy Bash. He started the game and directed Iowa's furious offense splendidly. Bash ran the quarterback option like winged victory and passed timidly, but timely. This was the same Roy Bash whom Iowa coach Ray Nagel benched nearly a month ago for failing to move the team.

As Skogman's star has fallen progressively in recent weeks a healthy Bash has been waiting in the wings. Saturday, he was the difference.
