x South Dakota State
Look Strong
(Herald Special service)

Brookings, s. d. Nov. 2a.-Beat
Creighton is the battle cry OF the local
state college eleven during the next
week. whilo preparing>for the crucial
conference game of the season with
the Catholics at Omaha on Thanksgiv-
ing day.
Showing a complete reversal of
form from that exhibited against
South Dakota U. and North Dakota, u.
the husky Jackhabpits overwhelmed
ing the Methodists> the worst beating
they have ever received since football
was introduced at thSir school. This
showing, coming after the win from
the North Dakota Aggies. has madc
Estate a decided favorite over the Ne
~braskans for tho first conference
championship.
Creighton Strong Also.
That Creighton, with q percentage
Of 1000 in the conference q G and an
impressive seasons record behind her,
will be- a tough foe Is the opinion Of
ed to stop Crcdghton's plays-especial-
ly their pass attempts. Baldridge and
Neville, two former Yale stars. have
developed q we'll balanced attack and
"a sound defense 1T CREIGHTON this year,
and their 1870 defeat of the Michigan
Aggies Saturday Indicates that they
will be at the top ofjtheir game when
they meet State.
Nebraska Wesleyan, which has
played one conference game to date,
a 22-22 tic with Morningsde. still has
a fighting chance for this conference
title, but Id conceded little chance OF
stopping/ Creighton when they meet
at Omaha this Saturday. Evon IL they
sho2d defeat Creighton they would
still have to defeat the strong Cniver-
sity of Des Moines eleven or Thanks
giving day to take first place. and
right now this seems to be beyond the
realmr> OF possibility.
State Well Balanced.
The State college team that enter
tho game against Creighton Will be
the most versatile eleven that has up
held the reputation of the yellow and
blue for some years. The me- are O.
c~eptionally strong at blocking, and II
takes a mighty pair of ends to stand
cd by the local interferers. Sport
critics at Sioux City stated that State
ran the hest interference against
Morningsile that has over been wit.
messed on Bass field. Bob Coffey. who
kicked two field goals from placement
Saturday, may be given an opportunity
to score from the field II the Creigh.
ton defense Is too rugged while
Frank Welch is putting in great style
The line will be somewhat handicap.
ped II Joe Smith is unable to play a
right tackle, but IN Schmitz and Lee
West has two good subs for this posi-
ton.
Creighton Uses Aerial Game.
Creighton is a great exponent Of The
open game. and it is thought tnat the
locals will have some trouble in stop
ping the Catholics passes. In Lane
quarterback, the blue and white has
a triple threat man who has made s
name for himself in conference cir
cles. The other outstanding men or
the Catholic aggregation are Ceptair
Bendelage. at right end. and yechout
a husky fullback. These men will b.

thought that they will have a. hare
time getting away. q. 49,.
Last year State defeated Creighton
TO, but the Dakotans were forced t
the limit to win, and with MANY o
last years eleven back. Creighton Il
hopeful Of a victory, and with so mucl
at stake, it is certain that no matter
how the score goes, the winning mar
gin will be small.
