Iowa Homecoming Beat Illinois Amid Mud and Delays
The Iowa Hawkeyes edged Illinois in a hard fought homecoming victory but thousands of motorists faced mud slicked roads. Officials blamed lack of a state wide highway system for heavy travel woes and urged action to build better roads across Iowa. Hundreds arrived by train while many stayed away due to impassable routes, easing only by rain softened terrain in parts.
