1t VIII 20 down into history that
the sixth annual Hobo Day at State
college was the biggest thing that
ver happened in Bookings. Early
in the morning the trains commenced
bringing people and autos came from
all directions with friends and inter
ested spectators. The usual exercises
took place at the college and then
the parade formed and headed by the
band came down town along Medary
avenue and Fourth street. Then they
conference.-the on Main street from
Fourth to Sixth and to the depot,
whore the band played and the hobo
crowd INDUCED in their special brand
of fun and Glowing until the arrival
sumed to the Kendall corner, and the
time waiting for the whistle to blow
was given to various stunts by the
stars of the aggregation. When the
city whistle blew at the appointed
time, the bo's scattered all over the
city and besieged the back doors for
their customary handouts. After get
ting these they adjourned to the col
lege grove and the customary meal of
tive environment.
In the afternoon came the big game
of the year, and it was some fight, be
lieve us. North Dakota had our boys
backed into a hole all during the first
half, but after that intermission some
thing was doing every minute, and it
was our game from then on. Just at
the last few minutes of play, the hus-
kies from the north came back with
a sudden rush and nailed a down and
a goal kick that We would just as
soon not seen happen. That end run
ner from Fargo was the best seen on
the local field in many a year.
