Iowa has its Kutsch but Northwestern has its Baker, Lewis and Gustafson, so the co-educational institution on the shores of Lake Michigan finished its first undefeated Big Ten season, out on the prairies of Iowa City.

Early in the third quarter Kittredge dropped a 40-yard punt from the toe of French and Clark, the rangy lineman, fell on the wandering pigskin within the enemy 20-yard line. Successive rushes took the ball to the three-yard line where Sayles fumbled and Daly recovered. A beautiful pass from behind the goal line put the ball in Healv's arms on the 18-yard marker. Another pass from Wise and Healy went to mid-field. Nothing could...
