States football team has never been
defeated on Hobo Day. The Univer-
sity's team has always been a consis-
tent winner over State. One of those
traditions will be broken this year,
thus assuring one of the greatest foot
ball games ever played on State field.

University, last week contained the fol-
lowing editorial under the caption,
"You Will Need Your Rooters."
"'You will need your rooters.' com
bined with We are going to settle old
Scores Is the gist of the sentiment at
Bookings, which Is being published
broadcast throughout the state. So
mote 1t be, say we with due respect toC
the upstate school, but we will be
compelled to do our best, hard as 1t
may seem, to break the non-defeat
tradition of Hobo Day that holds true
in Brookings up to the present time. 1t
seems somewhat cruel to start for
Brookings with that malicious state of
mind but it has been forced upon us.
Certainly we will need our rooters. Did
you ever see a team that didn't? We
want to go to .Brookings five hundred
strong and back our men with every
ounce OF loyalty we have and we have
a lot Of it this year. Another feature
is the Hobo Day. Let's all go and
help our State College make this day
a success. From all reports it will be
afford to miss. We cannot help but
feel that Brookings is taking too opti-
mistic a viewpoint when she plans on
settling old scores but remember,
W. have no serum hat can be elected
into u University team that will
make her immune from defeat by a
State school. Be there on the grounds
at Brookings the day of the battle and
see that you do your share that old
scores are not settled"
Hobo Band From WatertoWn
Watertown will be officially repre-
scented at the celebration also, by an
~eleven-piece hobo band. The members
of this band are all good musicians
and they have several special Stunts"
for the onlookers. Visitors from every
city in this section OF the state, also
from Minnesota and Iowa, will be here.
The good housewives Of Brookings
are preparing delicious viands for the
hoboes and Indian maidens, and their
liberality is known from past exper-
fence. Hotel keepers and restaurant
men are urged to be fully prepared for
the large crowd so that none will want
for dinner.
One change has been made in the
original program. The GROWING Of
the Indian Chieftess and Hobo King
will be held on State field between
halves Of the football game instead Of
IN the ~co1lopo campu
