Not since the great drought or the. corn borer plague has a catastrophe occurred to match the one which struck the University of Iowa in the final minutes of play. A record homecoming crowd of 58,137 fans saw the Wolverines drop Iowa from the ranks ot the undefeated. THE LOSS SNAPrED a five-game winning streak which had been the longest compiled bv a Hawkeye team, since 1928.

It also shattered long-held hopes that Iowa might win its first Big Ten championship since 1922 and earn the conference's berth in the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena on New Year's Day. All those cherished about to be realized this mild, overcast November afternoon. -But then an old jinx A hoodoo sign Michigan has waved frequently over the "Hawkeyes took hold. Only twice in 18 games of this series have the Hawkeyes been able to win. Their last triumph in the series came in 1924 and since then it has been wait, wait, wait for a victory that still is to come.

In each of the last four seasons, Evashevski has had his teams geared to high pitch against Michigan, and each time they've failed in the clutch each time they've blown golden opportunities. In 1953 and 1954, the Hawkeyes dropped onepoint decisions to Michigan 14 to 13. Last year they held a 14-0 lead at half time, and then blew it, 33 to 21. After Michigan took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter on a 12-yard field-goal by Ron Kramer, Iowa bounced back to score twice hold a 14-3 edge at the intermission. IOWA APPEARED to have the manpower and the tools this time to get the job done.

It appeared, too, that it had the psychological edge, for it had the Rose Bowl incentive and the old search for a victory over Michigan going for it. But in the stretch the Hawkeye defense couldn't hold the inspired Wolverines who just wouldn't be denied. There was an abundance of thrills in an 80-yard march Michigan made to gain its game-deciding touchdown with only one minute and six seconds of, play remaining. The Wolverines bounced back after last week's loss to Minnesota. For much of this game, the Wolverines were listless and plodding.

But when they finally put their heads and their hearts to the task, they went about it in a workmanlike and polished manner. THE DROVE 69 yards for their first touchdown and then ground out yardage the hard way in (he waning minutes of the contest to move 80 yards for the clincher. Two performers stood out in the Wolverines' victory. Sophomore fullback John Herrnstein and a seldom used junior halfback, Mike Shatusky. Turn to Page 3, Column 3 THIS WAS STILL another bitter pill in the dosage Forest Evashevski, the former Michigan quarterbacking great who now is Iowa's head coach, has taken at the hands of his alma mater.
