Jimmie" Temple led the college ath-
letes to victory, has anything stirred
old Brookings so completely as the
event at Sioux Falls last Saturday,
when State smashed its way to victory
in a hard fought battle with the Uni
versity. 1t was best appreciated, per-
haps, by those who, in the early days,
were eye-witnesses of the numerous
college victories in everything but
football with the State U. And at last
to have their ancient rival cleaned up
by good, clean, consistent football was
something worth while.
A special train carried nearly five
hundred rooters and the two bands
of State College to Sioux Falls where
they arrived about noon Saturday.
There were parades and band concerts
until time for the game, the girls band
from State attracting a great deal of
attention.
When the news of University's de-
feat reached Brookings at the conclu-
sion of the game, everybody went wild
and the city fire whistles announced
the result in thrilling notes. When the
train pulled in from the south near
midnight Brookings had turned out
en-mass and as the conquering heroes
were paraded down Main street headed
by the motor fire truck and JAZZ band
il brought back the memories of earlier
days.
Although the city was short on coal
everything was turned loose, regard
less of consequences, and in blaze
of light the procession headed for the
college where the victory was duly
Upon their arrival the football squad
were served with fine spread at the

The following is the account of the
game as seen by a Sioux Falls Press
reporter:
South Dakota University, victor of
Drake and Morningside, and favorite
in betting, yesterday afternoon was
ousted from state honors by State
College 13 to 6. Ripping great holes
in "U" defense, State, after having
been outplayed in the opening half,
and scored on within a few minutes
after the start of the third period,
crushed the hopes of Vermillion fans
by playing Coach Stewards athletes off
their feet during the final stages of
the battle. A scoreless first half saw
State clearly outplayed. Against four
first downs of "U" the Aggies did not
once make their downs in this session.
They managed to stall off the red
jerseyed athletes, however. Both
eevens had the ball within striking
distance in the first stanza. The ball
was advanced to the Vermillion 20
yard line on two occasions while State
was forced to face University with the
ball on their Is yard line. Punting
held sway, especially after the first
few minutes of the opening session
had been reeled off. The game was
fought inch for inch all the way
through. Both sides were off at the
start appearing in fine shape Fast,
exchanges, heady leadership and gen.
eral display of aggressiveness inter
mingled with an occasional bit of SEN
sational play held the close attention
of 5000 fans. The general opinion
of the mob of onlookers at the con-
clusion was that the best team won,
and could not allow for singel alibi
that "U' might present. State threw
a surprise into the crowd when they
smashed back in the third period
after Vermillion had counted six
points on blocked punt A com
plete march down the field after the
opening of the final period did the
work for State. To Roberts, Aggies'
right half, goes credit for playing the
leading role in States comeback. The
Illinois lad sneaked through line,
around end, and slid through second
airy defense for gains which stemmed
the tide, equalled and bettered Yer
millions score.
The University's lone tally came
when on Heck's punt from midfeld
Robert fumbled the ball and it rolled
to States 3-yard line Standing behind
his own goal line Dickinson grabbed
McKaye's low. poor pass from center.
and had his punt blocked by Alleman,
Duncan falling on the ball. Quintal
failed to kick goal by yards. States
equaling touchdown resulted from
straight line smashes and end runs
with Roberts and Dickinson carrying
the ball. Dickinson missed goal by less
than three feet. On the change OF
goals, Roberts clipped OF a 80 yard
