1909

Iowa resumed athletic relations with Iowa State.

A rule change made field goals worth three points.

Iowa’s athletic board discussed the entire matter of granting recognition to players and decided that “a captain of a team will receive a sweater distinguished from those which his team mates receive by a star, which will indicate his leadership. The number of years a man has played will be indicated by bars upon the arm of his sweater. Men receiving their ‘I’s’ for the first time will have no choice as to the sweater they receive. This is prescribed by the board. But after the first year an athlete may choose for himself the pattern of jacket, jersey or sweater which is to be given him.”
