(Cvwirr Service) Iowa City, la. A town gone mad was he only fitting de-cription of Iowa City Saturday night. Students were passing the word around that there would be no classes in the university Monday, and that the celebration would far outdo that of last week following the victory over Notre Dame. Here they have a tradition that the corn monument, erected at each homecoming, can only be burned if the Hawkeyes win the game. That little job was taken care of in jig time.

It was the first victory for Iowa over the Gophers in 11 years, and the people here were taking advantage of the long-delayed opportunity to celebrate. Everybody Happy. There's isn't any secret about, the fact that Dr. Anderson wanted most, to defeat his alma mater, Notre Dame, and that he accomplished last week. The students and fans of the state wanted most to defeat Minnesota.

Saturday night both situations had been handled in expert fashion; everyone was happy and the expressions of their joy were being made in every conceivable way. The Hawkeyes finish their remarkable season next Saturday at Evanston against Northwestern. Indications Saturday night were that everyone would be there.

They have had 27 homecomings in the history of the school, but. said oldtimcrs Saturday night, nothing like this one, and, it is matter of record, some glorious victories have been turned in for homecomers in bygone years. Anything' the boys would want was theirs for the asking Saturday, but probably they wanted rest more than anything else. Theirs is truly a unique and remarkable experience. The story of this team will never get old no matter the re-tellings.

With a scoreless first quarter behind them, the Tanthers began to really get serious about this business of whittling down the huge Bison eleven.
