Fun fact, Iowa State is 4-0 all time against “Des Moines Y” with games dating from 1892-1896. Some of the faces we know and love from 1895 squad are still here: Van Campen, Hammer, B.W. Wilson, German and Rice.
According to Mark Pollak’s The Playing Grounds of College Football: A Comprehensive Directory, 1869 to Today, Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm played at “YMCA Field/South Ninth Street Grounds/Drake Athletic Park” in 1898, and I know for a fact (the article I’m soon going to share the recap from) that this game was played at the same location.
