The Hawkeyea went back to work today to prepare for the expected passing attack they'll see There were HO serious casualties repor ted against Utah State. Fullback Fred Harris suffered a twisted knee, but should be ready to face the Cougars. Center Mac Lewis and Tackle Dick Theetv who missed the opener, should also be ready. Lewis was sidelined by flu for the first game, but reported at a squad meeting Sunday.

Jim Gibbons made a circus catch cf Randy Duncan's 44- yard pass as he tumbled', into the end tone for the second one.

It has been known for many months, that If Iowa is to be a strong team this year It must come up with a successor to Kenny Ploen. Duncan did very well Saturday, though I don't think it fair to say he established himself agalnstlsuch" Toe.

Metadrlatehallenges much more demanding of his skills. But the schedule affords him the opportunity to work up ip greatness, if that be his ultimate goal, and the kind of play he exhibited Saturday should be good for his confidence, and for his teammates' confidence In him. Duncan's passing was excellent, but that was no surprise. I've always thought him a superlative passer. But he did other things well.

His ball-handling eeemed flawless, he-made a couple of good runs and his defensive play was outstanding. His play in the latter department was the most surprising. Evy has Insisted all along that Duncan can play defense, that what he needs la some experience at it Duncan showed Saturday that Evy la-right, with soma really rugged tackling The" campus "Victory Bell'' rang for six hours. -jOnly Stanford and thanks to Pacific Coast conference penalties and the rule that prohibits Oregon State from repeating, stand in the way of WSO trip to the Rose Bowl, the first in 27 yean here.

I liked the team's generally good blocking, though it can be better.

I liked its overan speed, though it is not truly outstanding in that' department. Best of all, I liked its exeoutlon of the offense. In that department, I think it is way ahead, of the progress of a year-ago at th same time, when it was still learning the winged-T.
