dan and had him pinned against the ropes as the round closed. In the second ‘stanza after several seconds of sparring, Jordan became the aggressor until Beamen slowed him down with a left to the body. The Milwaukee boxer countered with a right fo the body and followed up this punch with a left to Beamon’s mouth, drawing blood. Beamon landed a light left as the round closed. On two occasions in the second stanza the referee warned Jordan about using rough tactics. Evidently the Judges didn’t hear the referee’s words. Beamon stepped out and forced the milling in fhe third and last canto, He scored with two lefts to Jordan’s nose and brought blood. They went into a clinch, after which Jordan landed a right to the body. In an exchange of lefts Beamon’s mouth trickled blood. Jordan landed a right to the body and Beamon threw a left to the head and a right to Jordan’s ribs as the bout ended.

“Northwestern is very dangerous despite personnel losses which took four players who ranked from second to fifth in scoring,” Iowa Coach “Pop” Harrison said. “Coach Dutch Lonborg is smart at shifting his players and some of the lesserknown men may fill in surprisingly well.” Meanwhile, Jowa’s sharpshooters attempted to regain their earlyseason's shooting eyes after dropping from their normal average of 54 points per game to 44 points ih their last four contests. , Northwestern, pre-season favorite, will be at its lowest strength of the season against the Hawkeyes, after losing Otto Graham, Johnny Ward and Jerry. Carle, regulars, and Nick Vodick, top reserve. Loss of these men leaves Northwestern with only four players who have seen any extensive action—Ben Schadler, leading scorer; George Felt, 6-foot-4 center; Ronnie Schumacher, forward, and Frank Clawson, guard.
