UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

The following dispatch from Vermil-
lion gives some football dope hat will
be of local interest:
Twenty of the huskiest football men
that have ever made the hearts of the
students of the University of South Da-
kota glad at the beginning of a season
will invade Madison this week, headed
by Coach Cortright, Assistant Coach
Blaine McKusick and Captain McCor-
mick. Football training camp which
was established at Lake Madison will
continue until the opening Of the
school year on September II.
The squad is considered the likeliest
in the way of old and new material
that the University of South Dakota
has ever had, not excepting the famous
1912 bunch who defeated Minnesota by
the score Of 10 to 0. Among the vet
Grams who put in an appearance at
Lake Madison are Captain Mccormick,
Vial, Horner, Rose, Carroll, E. Hengel,
Gilmore, Duncan, Sprague and McKin-
non. The biggest addition in the way
of new candidates is the star quartet
from the Minneapolis west high team
of 1913 which Blaine McKusick coach
ed to the city championship. Two Of
the quartet, Tyra and Bigelow, played
with Minnesota freshman team last
year and did brilliant work, Tyra de-
~veloping into a wonderful drop kicker
and Bigelow a phenOm at end. Both
men would have probably landed
places on the Minnesota Varsity this
year and it is a great streak of luck
for the University of South Dakota
that they have followed their old
coach, McKusick, to the Coyote squad.
The other two, Hanson and Stone, are
in the same class, and will make any
Varsity man hustle for his position.
Williamson of Watertown is another
player to be heard from. He attracted
wide attention last year by his steller
game as half back on the WATERFOWL
high school team and will be at Lake
Madison next week. Morgan of Belle
Fourche, who two years ago made one
Of the best half backs that South Da-
kota ever had, is returning to the uni
versity this year and Manary of Sioux
Falls, though he has not made known
his intention of getting to Lake Madi-
son, is expected to return.
The dopesters are already beginning
to prophesy regarding the Minnesota,
Notre Dame and Montana games, all
of which will come off in October.
South Dakota has always kept Min
nesotans guessing and this year prom
Uses to give the Gopher eleven a scare.
The Montana game at Aberdeen on
October 9 is the first of the season
and it will be fought for the Montana
squad is weighty and swift. Benz, the
former Aberdeen Normal tackle, now
at Montana, is expected to jar large
holes in the Coyote line but he will
have a hard nut to crack either with
Homer or Manary, who played at the
tackle position last year, and n Of
whom will probably oppose him.
Vidal, who plays his last seasons
football this fall, has been doing out
door engineering work all summer and
reports are that he Is filter than ever
and will play the best game of his
career. Parliman Of Sioux Falls, who
made quarter his first year, Mccormick
at end OF half, Homer at tackle, Elmore
or Stone at center. will be some OF the
king pins in Coach Cortright's forma.
