RECAP

Indiana was without 10 African-American players, who were dismissed from the squad after boycotting practice. The school had prepared, thinking that some demonstrations would be made before the game.

Larry Lawrence, who was vilified by fans last week, started the scoring by a 40 yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Lawrence finished the day passing, 13-20 for 168 yards and 1 touchdown.

The turning point in the game happened when Jerry Nelson blocked a punt to set up Lawrence's touchdown pass and two point conversion to make the score 21-14.

Dave Brooks led the defensive effort with 16 total tackles and one huge interception returned to the Iowa five that led to a Denny Green touchdown run to extend Iowa's lead to 28-17.

It was the second time Iowa had played on television that season, and the second time they won. The Hawkeyes are now 18-4 in televised games since 1953.

PLAYER GAME QUOTES

Larry Ely Our linemen did a fine job up front. Yes we had some good hitting today. We popped Gonso, Isenbarger and Butcher with hard tackles that forced them out of the game for a while. I as in on the one that knocked Isenbarger out with a hip-pointer. How do I know he had a hip-pointer? Because I came charging in a really speared him with my helmet on the left hip. Okay, I tackled him on his left hip.
-- Larry Ely
Ely talking about one tackle he made in the game. He was quickly corrected on his language by someone near by.

Larry Lawrence No, I'm not running a popularity contest. In fact, my ambition today was to be the most unpopular man on the Indiana bench.
-- Larry Lawrence

Larry Lawrence They tell me most of the booing at me last Saturday came from the student section. I don't know whether these petitions release their right to boo, but it's great to know that many people were kind enough to send the wires.
-- Larry Lawrence
Lawrence talking about getting telegrams from 4500 students wishing him well after last week.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Wayne Fontes We told Dan he should have tried to run it, but he said he was so excited he forgot he could advance a blocked punt.
-- Wayne Fontes
