pRlMED FOR HOMECOMING GAME
AT u" FIELD this AFTERNOON
South Dakota Crew Plans On
Staging Winning Comeback
From Recent Slump While
North Dakota Warriors
Are Confident OF Victory.

The Universities Of North Dakota
and South Dakota football teams will
race. each other on the university
gridiron his afternoon at 2:3O O'Clock
for what promises 20 be the big game
of the year for both teams. Last year
they battled together to a I to Z tie,
and this year, while each team is con
sidered stronger than the respective
team of last year, there does no seem
to be any great v%arience in the rela-
tive strength of the two grid ma
chimes.
South Dakota is considered to have
played her last two games in a slump
80 hat the scores of those games can
not be used as a basis for the real
strength of the Coyote crew. North
Dakota has won all of this years
games by a safe margin with the ex-
ception of the Minnesota game, in
which the Flickertails showed a fight
ing machine OF no mean ability.
Close Game Expected.
While Coach Paul Jones Davis ad-
mits that he has d. few cripples and
Mckay. stellar half, will be out of the
game, he looks to a win over the Wis
ttors this afternoon. He is of the
opinion. however, that the score will
be close and does not expect victory

single touchdown.
The Coyotes conc here with q. team
composed of ten veteran players and
greatly strengthened since the fray at
Urbana with the University of Illinois
team two weeks ago. The session at
Urbana was costly to the South Da-
kota. team, as it resulted in the tenn
porary injury of several of the best
athletes. Today, however, Coach
Whittemore will be at full strength
with his grid warriors n may be
depended upon to put up the hardest
game of the year.
Short Drill First Night.
The Flickertails went through a
short signal drill Friday afternoon in
final preparation for today's game.
With the exception of a few minor in
juries that are bothering his athletes,
Coach Davis will put his team in the
field tomorrow at its best.
Th~orwaldson, who played on the
varsity crew in 1919 and has produc-
ed some excellent football this year,
will be at right end. Captain Hauser
at left tackle has had two years ex-
perience on the Flickertail team and
is expected to hold down his regular
berth today. Harris, with last years
experience, will be at left guard.
SAhSc " VI IN SC0
last year, is expected to hold down the
position in the center of the line.
Two New Men.
Brodie, who is d new but valuable
man to the squad, will be at left
guard. Currie. alsn a new man, will
be at the position he has filled in ali
of this years games, right tackle. Ba-
con, who made his letter at South
Dakota State in 1919, will hold down
the right wing.
The backfield will be composed OF
veterans of last year. Burkman will
however. be in McKay's place at left
half. Mayer. who was on the squad
last fall, will fill Burkman's position
at full. Conmy will handle the other
half position, and Robertson will pilo1
the team.

n history of football at the state
