MADISON YOUNG MAN WINS STAR
FOOTBALL HONORS In BIG
GAME In SIOUX CITY.

6iouA Ilty, LNON. 10 lIu the
strongest team in the field it has had
since the Nebraska game over a
month ago South Dakota university
crushed the Morning Side football
team at Mizzou park Saturday by q
score of 20 to 0.
Morning Side put up a stubborn
fight all the way through the strug-
gle, but the heavier team from South
Dakota was too much for the Grip
pied maroons, and Coach Saunder-
sons bunch of pigskin chasers con-
tented themselves with holding the
score as low as possible. And the
result of the game was what had
been expected by nearly every en-
thusiast who witnessed the game.
Morning Side was defeated before it
went into the contest, and the show
ing made by the local school against
the South Dakota bunch was a cred
liable one.
The South Dakota team was a diff
ferent n than that which faced
other opponents this season. Fresh
after a two weeks rest, the husky
vermillion boys fought, scrambled,
ran and kicked until the local teams
defense was battered down.
There is no denying the fact that
South Dakota had it over the local
school in every department of the
game. Vidal, at left half, put up a
| wonderful game and was the back
| bone of the Coyote team. Most
plays were built around him, al
| though Potts at center, was made the
| Dhsoat;xA nnipt IF raonu nf tho uiCit-
| ors' line smashes.
The work of Vidal for South Da-
| kota meant as much to his team as
| did Johnson to Morning Side. Vidal
| was used in three-fourths of the
| South Dakota plays. Time after time
| he was sent into the maroon line and
| then followed 1t up with an end run.
| He was the best ground gamer for
| the visitors. Capt. Ferguson did not
| show up as well as he has in past
games.
For the maroons Johnson was the
| individual star and the best ground
| gamer. On end runs and Off tackle
| smashes he made first down for the
local school on six different occa-
| sions. Ewart Williams in the other
half position was too light and, al
though he hit the line like a bullet,
he always went into a stone wall.
Through South Dakota's line the
maroons seldom gained. Occasional
ly Johnson broke through, but as a
rule the gains were small and of lit
tie use. On trick and new plays and
fake punts the Morning Side team
made most of its gains. once Allen
broke through center on a trick play
and ran f~orty-seven yards. Again
later in the game he made fifteen
yards on the same play.
The double and triple passes gain
ed much ground for the locals.
South Dakota started early tc
score on the boys in maroon Two
minutes after the start of the game
Vidal went off tackle, strapped, claw
ed and pushed his way through his
hostile opponents, then broke away
and ran seventy-four yards for tn
first touchdown. Potts kicked goal
From then until the end of the
first half the Morning Side team put
up a great struggle. South Dakota
however, kept the ball in the loca
territory most of the time. On three
different occasions the Coyotes were
within fifteen yards of a touchdown
but in one way or another the ma
rooms managed to get out of the hole
Once the maroons got the ball OF
South Dakota's 50-yard line and aft
er three attempts to gain johnson
tried a place kick, but the ball fel
Il short.
Five minutes before the end of the
first half the maroons took a brace
and rushed the ball from their owl
25-yard line to their opponents 3
ward line. With first down and goa
to make, the South Dakota line heie
for three downs. A forward pas:
was tried. Bogard to Vernon, bul
Vernon was blocked and the hall
ended with the ball in South Ia
kota's possession On its own S-yarc
line.
In the second half the South Da
kota team went after the game FOL
fair and bewildered the locals witt
end runs. line smashes and an occa
sional forward pass. The ball was
rushed and worked up to the Morn
ing Side 2-yard line, where h ma
rooms held for two downs, but on thu
third down Gandolfo went over thu
line. Potts kicked goal.
Both cams fought hard the remain
der of the game, but the big Souti
Dakota boys wore the local team
down. Towards the end of the gam
Gandolfo made a pass with the bal
