touchdown in this quarter, and Shee-

30-yard run by Lowe of North Dakota
took the ball to within striking dis
lance of the home teams goal and
Mckay made the visitors only score,
a drop-kick from the 30-yard line.
This ended the scoring for the day,
although the last half was the most in
teresting part of the game. North Da-
kota came to life with a vengeance and
displayed an offense that at times
sent chills to the hearts of the Brook
ings rooters. However, Brookings
braced up when it had to and the
visitors were thrown back when it
seemed as though they would surely
score. The half was marked by some
rough play by both teams but this can
be accounted for by the %ierceness
with which the teams played.

As Another Saw II
(By the Observer)

Some little time since we purchased
of a persuasive pirate a really fine
looking dictionary, giving therefor on
the spot a dollar and a promise to pay
a dollar each month almost as long as
we have any hope Of living, these lat
ter payments to be made on any spot
the collector happened to overtake us.
It's a bum book. Nowhere between its
covers is mention made of the hobo
or his day. We have searched from
hob to hobble, gone through the myth
illogical and classical names, scanned
carefully the popular sobriquets and
hunted in vain among the %colloquial-
isms. Nowhere has the hobo left his
mark except upon Brookings front
gates and upon the shins of some
eleven heather from the state to the
north.
He belongs neither to the stone age
or the iron age but rather to some
overlooked time when tin in the shape
of cans was much in vogue. Only half
way may he be likened to the lily. He
tolls not neither does he spin-any-
thing except tickle yarns-but no self
respecting lily was ever arrayed like
the hobo we wot of. We can but liken
him to the raggedy man of the fairy
tales or a poor advertisement for Mr..
Gillette's safety razor. The annual
convention Of the clan is held each
November at Brookings and every
hobo has a "squaw," which is but an
other proof of Bobby Burns Oft re-
peated remark, that a mans a man
for a. that"
We do not know how the hobo came
to hold his conventions at Brookings
nor how like the canine he came to
have his twenty-four hours. 1t should
be the duty o fthe history department
Of the State College to learn these
things and to set them down where
those that come after us may have the
knowledge we so sadly lack.

teen. This day and date was chosen
because Coach Ewing had been able to
extract from the football team of the
University of North Dakota a promise
that upon this day they would be the
goat. Goats cost money and as no
self-respecting hobo ever has any
money the Commercial Club was led
into guaranteeing some eighty thous-
and pennies to cover the expenses of
the slaughter. This guarantee will
explain to the wives of DR.. Hyde, Prof.
Starring, Philo Hall and others why
these gentlemen for the few days be-
fore the fourteenth were up every
morning at daylight scanning the sky
and why they devoured the weather
reports as greedily as does the love
sick damsel the immortal literature of
Bertha M. Clay.

HOBO DAY THE

BIG DAY is CELEBRATED UNDER
AUsPicIoUs CIRCUMSTANCES
ON LAST SATURDAY
5000 PEOPLE WITNESS HOBO PARADE
Bio Event Attracts Hundreds of Visit
ors to Brookings-North Dakota is
Defeated by State College

The festive hobo and the charming
Indian maid had their day last Satur-
day. And it was a big day, about the
biggest that ever took place in Brook
ings, and we have had some rather
large events in the past. Hobo Day
was all of the success anticipated for
it anC as a matter of fact we do not
know where it could have been i'm
proved upon in any particular. The
weather was good and the big event.
which had been extensively advertised,
attracted hundreds of out of town
visitors. These were drawn here by
the novelty of the event, the like of
which can be seen at no other educa-
tional institution in the country. That
the visitors were pleased with the
and the day will be a splendid adver-
tisement for the State College and the
city of Brookings.
Moving pictures of the various
events of the day were taken by a st.
Paul firm, which was brought here by
the Commercial Club. Sixteen hun
dred feet of film was run and this
should provide a splendid series of
pictures. Pictures were taken on Fri
day of the public school children, pub
lie buildings and college views, and
on Saturday the antics of the hObOes
and squaws were caught as well as
some good views of the football game.
President Hyde and ex-Presidents Hall
and Harris we're also "shot" as they
were leaving the club rooms.
The day was a success financially as
we'll as artistically. The Commercial
Club backed the college boys to the
we are glad to say that the day paid
out we'll.
The crowd of visitors commenced to
arrive early in the morning by auto
and they continued to arrive until
noon Both of the morning trains were
crowded and a large number drove in
by team from about the county. 1t is
estimated that over two thousand
strangers were in the city, and prob
ably close to five thousand people wit
messed the parade of the hoboes and
squaws.
This was the third annual Hobo Day
put on by the college students and it
far ~outclassed the two previous ones.
The college people had made unusual
preparations for this years event and
every detail was carried out in splen-
did shape.
The Costumes
The college students were granted a
half holiday on Friday afternoon to
prepare for the big day and after look
ing them over Saturday we are of the
opinion that they employed their time

plenty for everyone. At oon the
crowd gathered in the college grove,
where camp fires were built and null
gan" and other things dear to the
cooked.
The Coronation
After the eats had been disposed Of
the bunch gathered on the college
campus, where the browning of the
king and chieftess took place. Hubert
Mathews, Jr., was master of cere-
monies and read the oath of Office,
which was a gem, to King Buck. Prof.
Brown in a few chosen words, placed
the crown Upon Bucks manly but
somewhat soiled brow, while his loyal
subjects cried with one voice, Long
Live the King" The chieftess was
crowned with appropriate ceremonies
by Prof. Fuller. The crowned heads
were then placed in the royal convey
ances, carried by willing slaves, and
were taken to posts of honor on the
west side of the campus for the next
event. This was a dance, a very inter
esting stunt, put on by about twenty
of the squaws, assisted by a few
hoboes.
Next came the c~ross-country run
and big football game which were
staged at the athletic park. The 'boes
and sQuaws occupied nearly the entire
north stand, and led by Cheer Leader
I~verson, they gave valiant support to
the football boys in their battle with
North Dakota. Between halves a big
parade was staged or the field. After
the game the unconventional costumes
were discarded and the big day was
over.
Cross Country Run
The annual inter-class cross-country
run was held just before the football
game. The start was made from the
field and the finish was in front of the
grandstand. The course was three
miles. Strachn won out rather easily,
followed by Ladd, Ayres and Temp
kins. Time, II minutes, 5 seconds.
The Football Game
The big football game of the day
was between the State College and the
University of North Dakota, and the
largest crowd that ever attended a
football game in this city saw North
Dakota go down to defeat by a score
of IA to 8. Both grandstands were
filled to overlooking and the people
were lined up along the fence on both
sides, while many were in automobiles.
The crowd was estimated at three
thousand.
The North Dakota boys appeared on
the field at three o'clock and were fol
lowed a few minutes later by Captain
Sheehan and the other wearers of the
Yellow and Blue. Both teams were
given an enthusiastic reception by the
crowd. Moving pictures were taken of
edCu tSdlH. NOTtH DdkOJd won JHe
toss and chose to defend the east
goal. Caldwell appeared in a suit, but
was not in the lineup. His place was
taken by Miller and Houghton re-
placed Miller at end.
The State College boys outplayed
the visitors in the first quarter and
made the northerners look bad. The
home team had the ball in their pos
session practically all Of the time and
North Dakota showed little. Toward
the end of the quarter Skinner took
the ball ove for States first touch
down. Sheehan kicked goal.
The second quarter was almost a
repetition Of the first, North Dakota
being outplayed in every department
of the game, their tackling being es-
