IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Dom Uhl notched his first career double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds and Iowa trounced Missouri-Kansas City 95-75 on Saturday for its third straight win.

Nicholas Baer also had 14 for the Hawkeyes (6-2), who had five players score at least 10 points for the second game in a row.

Despite a sluggish start, Iowa had more than enough to overwhelm the Kangaroos. The Hawkeyes jumped ahead by 14 at halftime, and Brady Ellingson’s 3 gave Iowa a 76-55 lead with just over 8 minutes left.

Martez Harrison had 15 points for UMKC (5-3). The Kangaroos had just 12 assists on 29 made baskets.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — The University of Northern Iowa has named Jean Berger as its interim athletics director. UNI President Bill Ruud announced the move Friday, filling a position left vacant when Troy Dannen opted to become athletics director at Tulane University in New Orleans. Berger’s new position begins Jan. 1.

Berger has been serving as deputy athletics director since July. She was hired as UNI’s senior associate athletic director and senior woman administrator in 2008. Before moving the UNI, Berger worked for more than 17 years at Drake University in Des Moines. She’s a graduate of the University of Iowa and a native of Winterset.

The first shotgun deer season opens this weekend on the heels of what has been a successful bow season. Iowa Department of Natural Resources wildlife research technician, Jim Coffey, says hunters have already reported taking more than 27-thousand deer. “We’ve had an excellent fall with weather conditions and the crops came out early, and the hunters have had some great days to be out there. So, I think that has helped increase the number of people in the field and also increase license sales,” Coffey says. Coffey says he doesn’t expect any drop in hunters taking to the field this season.

He says the license sales for the shotgun season have been right on track to be about the same amount as last year. With license sales doing well, he expects the harvest numbers to be right around last year too. “Reported harvest last year was right at about 100-thousand deer and that’s what we would expect this year — unless there’s some major phenomenon in the weather — we should track pretty similarly,” according to Coffey. The weather is expected to warm up this weekend and Coffey says the weather conditions can really dictate the success of the hunt.

“Weather impacts the hunters as much or more than it does the deer. And sometimes warmer weather is just a little more difficult because the deer can spread themselves out,” Coffey explains. “It’ll be an interesting weekend, it will be a little muddy in some places. It should be nice weather, but that can actually make it more difficult to deer hunt.” The D-N-R surveys the deer population to try and keep it under control. Coffey though doesn’t talk about deer numbers in specific areas.

“Populations are something that are very difficult to talk about across the entire state because there is so much difference in the habitat from north to south and east and west. So we talk about trends more than anything,” Coffey says. He says if you saw deer last year in the places you normally hunt, there should be plenty of deer in those areas again this year.

This first shotgun deer season begins Saturday and runs through next Wednesday. The second shotgun season is December 12th through the 20th. The archery season closes Saturday to allow for the shotgun season and will re-open on December 21st. The late muzzleloader season opens at the same time and both will run through January 10th.

The success of the Iowa football team has even the most casual fans sporting Iowa gear, and has the man in charge of licensing for the school keeping an eye out for those trying to take advantage of the desire to wear the black and gold. Hawkeye Sports Licensing director Dale Arens says, the companies all have to get approval to legally produce the items with the U-I logo. “We take applications in a variety of different product categories. Any application requires a marketing plan…there’s a couple of different things we look at in each case, and do they have a chance for success,” Arens says.

He says the products have to be new or do something different with a current product to get approval. Iowa completed an undefeated regular season at 12-0 and play Saturday in the Big Ten Championship game. There’ll be special hats and t-shirts and other items on sale at the event in Indianapolis, and Arens says there are even more requirements for the vendors who produce those products. “Those don’t involve just the University of Iowa’s intellectual properties, but they are going to involve, like this weekend the Big Ten, Michigan State,” Arens says. “So now you are looking at a licensee vendor who has to have a relationship with all three of those parties, or it’s not even worth talking about.” Arens says they will be looking to make sure unapproved items aren’t being sold.

“I will be in Indianapolis working with my colleague from Michigan State, people from the Big Ten and then local law enforcement. So, we do police the marketplace around the stadium prior to the game and in that market,” Arens says. “And throughout the season that’s something we do here at the University of Iowa also.” Arens is confident they will find any knock off products.

“I like to say I am like a good bird dog, I know where the birds are hiding. And so we know if there are going to be infringers, we know where they’ll be and we make sure they don’t hang around any longer than they are welcome — which is not,” according to Arens. He says things haven’t changed a lot when it comes to protecting the copyrights. “While it may seem easier to do that now because of the internet, it’s also easier to find and police them,” Arens says. He says he does have a lot of help when it comes to keeping a watchful eye on the tiger hawk.

“It’s crazy, you’d think that would be a 24-seven job for me, but the University of Iowa has 250-thousand plus alumni out there and every one of them thinks they are a detective when they see this,” Arens says. “They don’t want to see their beloved school stolen from and infringed upon — so they certainly let us know when they see things.” So, does the man who makes sure everything from Hawkeye keychains to socks wear the gear when he heads out?

“Yeah I do, but it’s crazy though because with what I do, everybody thinks that that’s my entire life. And while it is, sometimes I’ll go to my closet and I’ll go ‘ oh good lord I wish I had something that didn’t have a log on it.’ When I go to church I don’t want to go wearing a Hawkeye shirt,” Arens says. Most other times though, he says he’s happy to wear the black and gold.
