With victories over six Iowa schools (Coe, Iowa State Normal, Grinnell, Des Moines, Drake, and Iowa State), the Hawkeyes were recognized as the undisputed Iowa football champion.[3] Their 72â0 victory over Des Moines remains the sixth-largest margin of victory in Iowa football history.[4]
Fullback A. Earle McGowan was the team captain.[5] Quarterback Maury Kent later played professional baseball and served as the head football coach at Iowa State.
The team played its home games at Iowa Field in Iowa City, Iowa.
