Coach Enthused By Progress of Iowa Grid Team
Towa City Iowa. Coach Jerry Burns reports progress for the Hawkeyes eight days before the season opener with Washington State. The veteran first team with nine seniors is moving the ball well with a balanced pass and run attack. Improved quarterback Fred Riddle passing earns praise and the Bob Grier move to fullback shows no loss in running potential. Burns cites Grier Krause and Sherman as the Big Ten’s top defensive backs.
