Despite nil the efforts of "Red" Grange and his occnsionnl flashes of -old-time brilliance. Iowa defeated Illinois this afternoon by 1 to 10. CriiiiKO started off like the terror of old when he ran 75 yards for a touchdown in the first 10 icinutcs of play. Then Iowa stiffened, smeared Grange on nearly every other effort he made, and smashed through a victory. Iowa wns numbed by GrnnKe's spectacular run on the kickoff and did not recover until the second quarter.

I'rom that time forward, the Hawkcyes had the uppejfand except for an uncertain few 'minutes in the last period. Alternating. Fry and Kutsch pounded away at the Illinois line for consistent pains until it pave way in the fourth quarter, when the winning touchdown was scored. Only the defensive work of the Illinois backfield kept Iowa from crossiiiK the Roal line earlier. Twice this defense forced Iowa to cive up slashing drives and bo content with! field goals instead of touchdowns.

Kutsch and Fry were the ball carriers In tho second quarter when Iowa advanced to Illinois 1S-yard line. There the Illinl back-field defense, came to the rescue and Iowa had to chooso the easier road, uracil kicking a field goal. In the third quarter Kutsch nnd fry pounded through the Illinois forwards to the 25-yard line, from where Kutsch kicked for three additional points. Grange and his teammates made a last stand at the opening of the fourth quarter. Uallivan and Grange drove to Iowa's 23-ynrd lino and Britton dropped bafck nine yards and place making It 10 to 6 in favor of Illinois.

Illinois' line and backfield had worn out in the final effort. Kry and Kutsch took up the offensive burden for Iowa and made large gains. Kulsch then ran 20 yards lo Illinois' 2-foot line, from where he went over. Kulsch's kick for. the extra point wa blocked.

F. Final Score Is 18 to 1 When Halt Is Called in the Sixth Inning. The San Francisco Seals staged a parade yesterday afternoon at the expense of a flock of Oakland pitchers and things got to be such a joke that the umpires stepped In and brought an ending by saying it was too dark to play ball, so all the fans left the park laughing over the vaudeville show they saw Instead of a ball game. The Seals defeated the Oaks, 18 to 1. Art Delaney started for the Oaks and was hammered all around the lot until Manager Ivan Howard decided in the fourth inning that the Seals would nevehe retired unless another pitcher was sent In.

"Lefty" Hickok- was given De-la ney's job and he was worse than the veteran. He could not get the side out either so Pete Duglia was sent In to take a beating. Before the Napa kid got rid of the last batter, the Seals had twelve runs for the Inning, leaving them in the lead 15 tn 1. When the score got to be 18 to 1 and the Oaks looked helpless against the pitching of Crockett, who was on the hill for the Seals, the managers and umpires agreed to call It quits. Not a single error was made during the clowning.

Battling on even terms with tne Bruins for well over, half the game, the saints Kept tne issue in doubt until a final desperate drive by the Golden Bears crushed the Red and Blue line for the only touchdown of the game in the last period. It was not until Al Young, by far the most brilliant of the stars for the day, was sent into the lineup that the Bruins dangerously threatened the Saints' line. In the first three-quarters only occasional sparking runs were recorded and these were generously Intermingled with losses and failures to gain.

NOTRE DAME SHIFT. Besides offering stubborn resistance throughout the battle, St. Mary's was not without its offensive stars. Underhill, Rooney and Strader, although held for a small average gain, broke loose on several occasions and evaded the Bruin tacklers for larpe gains. The gaining of the Saint backs was restricted to the tackles and ends for the most part.

Although statistics Rhow that the charges of Ed "Slip" Madigan advanced more in the third quarter thaji any other, the famous" Notre Dame shift accounted for several gains early in the game. Underhill and Strader both eluding the bear's line at intervals. As the Bears became accustomed to the baffling shift plays, the Saints' long runs lessened until in the last quarter the best efforts of the flashy Oaklanders netted but sixteen yards. The Bears" offensive, although markedly more effective than last week against the Olympic club, was decidedly unreliable, tearing off sparkling end runs and tackle bucks at one time and meeting a stone wall on the next play. Krom scrimmage the Bears netted 20.1 yards but ofithese, 7il were credited to Young, who played only in the second half.

DIXON IN FORM. The comeback of tho Golden Bear after the defeat last week was accompanied by the return to form of Jimmy Dixon. The flashy halfback made good use of all his famed triple-threats yesterday, punting for an average of 20.3, throwing two completed passes out of two attempts and gaining a total of 64 yards for his team. The first quarter had not ended before Captain Talma "Tut" Imlay, sturdy leader of the Bears, was rushed into the lineup and it was but a few minutes after that Dixon threw him a pass which advanced the Bears thirteen yards. Imlay played safety and clearly demonstrated that he was in shape to play in the' remaining games.

Although he was taken from the lineup In trfe second' half, he gave a good account of himself while In tho game considering the fact that ho has not played or scrimmaged since the Nevada game. California's only chance to score in the first half came when the Bears, largely through the efforts of, -Dixon and Karl Jobs, ad-vanced-the ball to the twemty-yard line, from where Dick Blewett dropped back and tiled a fluid goal.

California was once more master of the situation and had the fight, stamina and the will to win, which could not be denied. The touchdown was made early in tho fourth quart or. The Hears had the ball near tho middle of the field. Al Young wns substituted for Jabs and the fireworks started. Dixon made two end runs and Young, imitating a locomotive, battered his way through the center of St.

Mary's line and In five plays planted the ball on the one-yard line. Brown scored on the next play. It was a great inarch and Young couldn't be stopped. The California line came into its own and functioned like the California lines of old. With two minutes to play, California started another march for a touchdown.
