In the midst of another dismal year for Iowa football, the Hawkeyes won their first conference game in three years, defeating Chicago 27-14.

Coach Edward Anderson

November 29
Dr. Edward Anderson, a native Iowan who played high school football in Mason City and went on to polish his game under Knute Rockne at the University of Notre Dame, was approved as Iowa’s new football coach.

Seventeen years earlier, Anderson had played on the Notre Dame team whose string of 20 consecutive victories was snapped by the Hawkeyes in Iowa City. After only one defeat in three years of Notre Dame football, Anderson went on to coach, later playing Sunday professional football in Chicago and earning his medical degree.
