PAGE FOUR THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Saturday, November 9, 1918 HAWKEYE FIGHTERS ARE A HUSKY BUNCH FRED LOHMAN Not until the South Dakota game of last year did Coach Jones discover he had such a hard driving and ground gaining back in Lohman, who up to this game had warmed the splinters for Laun. Since that game Fritz has been on the varsity and from all indications he will hold the place until his time limit compels him to retire. At fullback he has won the reputation of being one of the hardest hitting Iowa backs Iowa has seen in many years. In the Nebraska game in which the Hawkeyes defeated their old rival, this big tank gained only 92 yards in 23 attempts upon the Husker line of defense. He will start today’s game at fullback position. Maurice Kent “Maury” is in his sixth year of service at Iowa as assistant football coach. He has served in the same capacity in basketball and baseball. Not only as a coach and an assistant to Jones has “Maury” proved his value to Iowa, but his work as a scout should win for him great praise. Oftentimes Kent slips out of the city on a scouting tour to some conference tilt. The charts and reports he brings back from these games makes it possible for the coach to build and shape a team that can combat their opponents on their own ground. In addition to his record as a coach, “Maury” has been a real athlete himself. He played on the varsity teams of 1904, 1905, and 1906. He was an exceptionally good track man and represented Iowa for two years with his thinly clads. As a diamond star Kent was one of the first water for he held a position on [unreadable] at the same years in which [unreadable] in other sports. Upon his graduation here he coached the Carleton college well known for her athletic prowess in northern athletic circles. Later on he accepted the offer of athletic manager for the Haskell Indian team. COACH H.H. JONES [Picture of coach] In Coach Howard Jones the University has a director of athletics of whom it can justly be proud. He is a man of training and experience, and has done wonders to build up a Hawkeye team that can live up to the new slogan, “Iowa fights to win.” While a student in Exeter Academy Jones showed his unusual ability as an athlete, and entered Yale with experience that did much to make him the star man while he was there. He starred in a wing position from 1905-7, and was an All-America man at the end of his last year. For a year he was head coach at Syracuse university, returning as an assistant coach to Yale in 1909, during a season in which Yale was never once defeated. He coached also at the University of Ohio and again at Yale, coming to Iowa after an intervening period in business. Jones has continually been handicapped in his work at Iowa by the exceptionally light weight of the men from whom he had to make his teams; and it is vastly to his credit as a coach that he has been able to make the most of the material at hand. For once in the history of the University, however, the Iowa team will enter the field today with no handicap in the way of weight. Coach Jones had taken advantage of the heavy weight of the men to teach them a style of team play on offense and defense that is calculated to stop anything that comes against it. Charles Mockmore Making an “I” in track led Mock to believe that the same feat could be accomplished in football, and the big fellow was right. Fighting for a place against guards with far more experience than himself, he outlayed all who might dispute his right as a first string varsity man. His weight of 190 pounds is a valuable asset in his left guard position, and he uses [i tto] the best of advantage. This is his first year as a varsity man, with two more years of football ahead of him coaches need not worry about the guard position. Lester Belding The real find of the season is Lester Belding, the 17 year old lad From Mason City. Last year he was chosen an All-State high school end from his play on the state championship team, Mason City high. Although he has been handicapped at playing in many positions he has come through in a marvelous way. He plays the end, fullback, and halfback positions without any trouble. His plunges are always good for a gain and his defensive play is of high calibre. His strongest point, however, is his punting ability. He has been booting the oval for distances of 50 and 60 yards, and with good training it is expected that he will equal the star Hawkeye pitcher of last year, Chuck Laun. Belding has been hampered by an injury to his knee and this has hindered him all year in getting his kicks away in the manner he desires. With two more years in which to play, Belding should develop into an All-Western man. He will probably be seen at an end position in today’s struggle. CAPT. RONALD REED [picture of Reed] In Captain Reed, the Hawkeyes have a man who has played one of the best and most consistent end games of any Iowa wing man. He is fast, drives the runner in, and gets down under the punts with marked agility. Although he [weights] only 165 pounds, Reed is one of the team’s best when it comes to downing his man. Probably the star feature in the captain’s play is his ability to grab passes out of the air. Last year Reed was named as an All-State end and received honorable mention in Big 10 circles. Iowa followers believe that he will be among this year’s All-Conference team. Reed has proved himself a leader of varsity players to the extent that his team has turned out the best in a number of years. Next week he will play his last game in an Iowa uniform against his old rival Ames. Reed says Iowa has walloped Ames consistently for the last five years so why not do it again. Glen Greenwood This husky Webster City lad [unreadable]ing his last year of Varsity [football?] has made a name for himself [unreadable] soon to be forgotten by Hawkeye rooters. His huge stature and [unreadable] build made him an ideal man for [unreadable] where he has played for the last [unreadable] years, although his varsity football career was started out at tackle. [His?] ability to receive long passes [from?] the backs make him a player [that?] [unreadable] feared by opposing teams. Another noted feature of Greenie’s play is the supply of fight and pep [unreadable] plays under adverse conditions. [To?] day’s game will be his last [before?] Iowa fans. Greenie will enter [the?] Ames game next Saturday as [unreadable] final contest against Iowa’s old rival. Harry Hunselman This Hawkeye right guard [has?] shown himself an excellent lineman. This is Huntz’ final year on the varsity. A broken ankle received [in?] the Ames game of his first year [halted?] him and his rapid advance, [unreadable] since then he has held his [place?] against all comers. He is probably the fastest line man on the team, [unreadable]ing ever aggressive and [unreadable] having the ability to sift in [and?] spill the plays. Although hampered by a dislocated shoulder which [unreadable]jured in every game, he has [played?] a real game and no doubt will [unreadable] his all state guard position as [unreadable] as run someone a close race for [unreadable] All-Conference man. Huntz [will?] play his last game against Ames [unreadable] when the annual classic comes [unreadable] next week. In speaking of his [unreadable] a guard, Bachman, All-America tackle for two years on the [Great?] Lakes team made this remark, “Hunzelman is the best man I ever [unreadable] against in my football days; he [is?] the most powerful drive of any [unreadable] I ever saw.” Huntz will be in [unreadable] right guard position in today’s [unreadable] test. John B. Synhorst To have made good in his [unreadable] year out as a varsity candidate [advertisement] STUDENTS! The war is not over. Even when Germany admits her defeat our boys will be retained overseas to repair the ravages of the Hun. Then more than ever will they need the pleasures and comforts that the war activities can provide for them. Sacrifice your little luxuries for the United War Work Campaign It includes the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army, American Library Association, and War Camp Community Service. Your money goes to all. University women alone have set out to raise $10,000 for this great work. Help them and the University to go over the top. Help YOUR BOY that is “Over There” November 11 to 18
