In the third period, they reached the Boilermaker's three at one time and the two on another occasion and again bogged down.

Cox, the dapper transfer quarterback from Washington University, all but demoralized the Dimi with a swashbuckling first half show. Twice he sped into the end zone on end sweeps, once from six yards out and the other from 23.

Meanwhile, Iowa, only one ahead in first downs at halftime, cruised at will in the second half for a game total of 266 yards by rushing to 67 for the Rinbows. Quarterback Ken Ploen made the most spectacular run of the afternoon, going 67 yards to set up Iowa's first touchdown.

Ploen couldn't have done better had he been using radar as he picked his way through would-be tacklers. Fred Harris got the touchdown from six inches out midway in the second period. Near the end of the quarter, Harris recovered Wallace Kim's fumble after catching a lass and Iowa had the ball on the Hawaii 15. Mike Hagler scored on a wide sweep from the one.

Poor Punt Helps Iowa A poor punt, good for only three yards, put Iowa in business on the Hawaii 28. A pass from the IS by Gene Veit was caught by Bob Prescolt on the one for Iowa's fourth score. Midway in the, fourth quarter, Iowa picked up its final touchdown on an 11-yard spurt by Keven Furlong. Hawaii got as deep as the Iowa 28 late in the fourth period and that was its deepest venture. The Rainbows were to the Iowa 34 and 43 in the first quarter but pass interceptions killed off their efforts.
