Vermillion, S. D., Nov. 2O.-The football war
rlors Of the state university have but two more
games to play this season, and they viii no
doubt prove hard ones. The first takes place
at Brookings next Tuesday against the strong
agricultural college team. If scores were a
good criterion, the university players would have
an easy time of it at Brookings. But these
cannot always be relied upon. Mitchell defeat
ed Brookings early in the season by a score of
22 to O.. The coyotes of Vermllion then turned
around and walloped Mitchell to the tune Of
% to 5. But Brookings has strengthened ma
terially since playing the Weseyans and the re-
port comes that the team from the agricultural
college is at least 100 per cent stronger than a
month ago. .-5.-
Two afternoons of hard practice have been
given the locals since the game last Mor.Ga y,
as the players We're given rest in order to
catch with studies. The team left for
Brookings this morning. Upon this game hinges
the championship of the state.
A great loss to the coyotes is at hand. Ward
Walker, halfback, has been denied the right tc
play in the two games to come account OF
parental opposition. r
The last game in which the coyotes will par
ticipate this season will be the THANKSGIVING
contest at Sioux City with Morningside college
1t is thought here that the Methodists will
show up great deal stronger in this game
than in any other during the fall, and the play

Madison, Wis, Nov. 2O.-The vanquished
badgers, returning from the Ann Arbor game,

who saw both the Minnesota and Michigan games

They point to the fact that Michigan and
Minnesota made the same number of points
against. the badgers, that each team made its
first six points on a fumbled kick by Melzner
and that Wisconsin, with little Of the good
fortune at Ann Arbor that favored them at
Minneapolis. might easily have had about as
many points they secured against their rivals
of the north. 2
Melzner failed at four trials of drop-kicking
at Ann Arbor, and the badgers by merest hard
luck escaped making two touchdowns that critics
say We're we'll deserved the basis Of their

at Madison who talk of the vast part that chance
and luck play in deciding football champion.

the orange and black team will play ST. Paul
Central high. probably at Lexington park The
game will be good one, for the st. Paul bunch
proved q hard nut for Central and held the
score lower than the champions tally against

While from bare comparison of scores it
would look as if the down-river team had the
best of it there other consideration which
make things seem more even. When South
played Central Coach Goldblum had just shifted
Rose Of left half and put Dahquist in at at
left tackle. The change materially strength
ened the team, but both showed little un-

There be doubt but that the exchange
Strengthened the orange and black team for the
Central game. With two weeks more training
in their new places, Rose and Dahlquist should
play better than they did af,er they had been
in week. This will bring the southtown team
well up to the st. Paul aggregation, and the
chances Of the game look about even.
The chief faults of the team are sowness in
eomprehending signals and fumbling. With the
work done last week and three days stiff prac-
tice this week, Coach Goldblum should be able
to drill out good deal Of each fault Consid-
ering their lack of weight and experience the
South Side players put up remarkable game

gained there should stand them in good stead
