Saturday, November 9, 1918 THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA PAGE THREE IOWA SHOWS UP WELL IN REVIEW OF SEASON Starting out the season with six veterans as nucleus around which to build a varsity that would hold its own with the West’s best teams, Coach Jones, on the squad, has turned out one of the fastest and hardest driving teams ever wearing the old gold moleskin. This year’s team has played one of the hardest schedules to date that Iowa has faced and have made a very creditable showing. Great Lakes 10, Iowa 0 The first game of the season was [?] played on Sept. 28, thus allowing the Hawks but four or five days in which to prepare for Olcott’s string of stars. Although beaten by a 10 to 0 score the contest gave the coach an idea of what he had to work with and something definite on the players’ ability. The Sailors were made up of a group of stars. Hardly a man on the team had not held an all-state, all-western or conference position. The Iowa team put up a hard game and, with the breaks in their favor, there might have been a different score. The Iowa eleven marched to their 3 yard line on two occasions and to the 10 yard line several times only to see the chances for score go glimmering when a fumble the ball to the Jackies. The score of this game alone indicated to sports followers that the Iowa team had to be recognized as a contender for honors. Iowa 12, Nebraska 0 With only a week in which to prepare for the Huskers Jones set his team through one of the hardest of early season drills. The Huskers were said to own a powerful team for they had the services of several of last years team. The Iowa team that started the Sailor game went in against the Huskers. The line consisted of Smith and Capt. Reed at the extremities, Greenwood and Slater at the tackles, Mockmore and Hunselman at the guards, and Held, a first year man, at the center position. The backfield found Kelly at the pilot place, Scott and Sykes at the halves, with Lohman at full. The Hawks won this game by hard football, tallying two touchdowns in the third period. The real star of this game was Lohman who made 92 yards in 24 attempts with the ball. Sykes loomed as a star in his first big game. With the Huskers beaten the Iowa team looked like a formidable one to dispute any team who might lay claim to a title. Iowa 27, Coe 0 The next contest on the schedule was the one with Coach Eby’s team, in which Iowa completely outclassed the rival. Early in the first quarter [quarter] the visitors carried the ball to the Iowa 10-yard line, and it began to look as if the Hawks were up against a real eleven. This did not last long for the Iowa backs got busy and tore up their line at will. Late in the contest the coach ran in an entire team of new men.
