citizens of Brookings are taking a
great interest in assisting the college

on that day and will deliver five-min-
ute, n~on-political addresses to the
crowds at the football game in the af-
ternoon between State college and the

that all may hear, a e-megaphone
device will be installed, which will am
pIify their voices so that they can be
heard for great distances. These ad-
dresses will be made just before the
big game begins at 2:30.

will be roasted in the large oven which
has been constructed in the grove.
The crysanthemum show at the
college greenhouse, which DR.. N. E.

planning all year will be the greatest

feature alone will attract hundreds Of
people and is the most beautiful sight
that awaits the Hobo day crowds.
The biggest drawing card Of the day,
of course, will be the annual classic
for the state football championship,
between the State college Jackrabbits
and the University Coyotes. State
college has won two Of the last three
games played between the two schools,
last year defeating the Coyotes on
their home field on Dakota day. The
sting Of this defeat rankles deeply in
their hearts and they will do their
super-utmost this year to even the
score. This is the biggest football
contest in the state and will draw
thousands of interested football fans.
