Related Topics: Iowa, Minnesota, Basketball

From the Minneapolis Tribune February 4th, 1900.

Such was the result of the basket ball game played at the University armory yesterday afternoon between the Minnesota and Iowa teams. At no time during the game did the visitors show any degree of skill, and proved easy opponents for the local team. The Minnesota team lined up in fine shape and outplayed Iowa at every point. Deering, left forward for the locals, made the star play, throwing goal front the 18 yard line.

The first hour of the afternoon was taken up by a game between women teams from the freshmen and sophomore classes.
