the game, 12-0, on two touchdowns, one by halfback Joe Meyers and one by Frank Holbrook. Iowa refused to play Missouri again until 1902. Before a 1910 game with Missouri, Missouri officials warned Iowa coach Jesse Hawley not to bring black tackle Archie Alexander to the game. Hawley reluctantly agreed to Missouri's demands and Iowa lost 5-0. But Hawley later vowed that his teams would never face Missouri again, and the schools did not meet again on the football field until the 2010 Insight Bowl. The 1896 Conference Title Two and a half weeks later, on Thanksgiving Day, the Hawkeyes carried a 6-1 record into a game against Nebraska to determine the Western Interstate conference champion. However, a mixture of rain, sleet, and snow prevented any scoring, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. Athletic officials from both schools, therefore, agreed to replay the conference title game two days later on Saturday. In the rematch, Iowa won their first ever conference title by defeating Nebraska, 6-0. Iowa won the game on a thirty-yard touchdown run by Frank Holbrook. Iowa finished the year 7-1-1, and Holbrook finished his senior year with 12 touchdowns. Name confusion The correct name of the first black football player at the University of Iowa is Frank 'Kinney' Holbrook, not Carleton William Holbrook. The apparent misinformation may have begun around 1939 when the University’s athletics department released a commemorative publication about Iowa football referring to "C.W. Holbrook". C.W. Holbrook was the only other student with that last name enrolled at the University of Iowa during the mid-1890s, according to general catalogs issued by the University at the time. However, C.W. Holbrook was a law student from Manchester, Iowa, and was not a member of the football team. Frank 'Kinney' Holbrook (called “Kinney” by his teammates, according to one edition of the Hawkeye yearbook) was a sophomore when he competed as a halfback in the fall of 1896. According to University alumni records, he did not graduate. C.W. Holbrook graduated in 1897 and his name is the only Holbrook that appears in alumni lists from that period. As a result, it is possible that C.W. Holbrook's name, and not that of Frank 'Kinney' Holbrook, was brought forward by mistake. Numerous publications subsequently repeated the error, including the McGrane and Bright titles cited below. Bright's work has no citations; McGrane quotes an undated Chicago Times-Herald article which uses
