Show up Strong
Against B;y.gers
Wisconsin Wins 20 to 6, but
State Did Well; Off to
North Dakota for Game
Tomorrow.

With the ball on States 20 yard line
and the timekeeper almost ready to
call the end of the game, WEIGH,
States dependable quarter, passed to
Clarence Schultz, fullbaCk, who ran
20 yards for the J~ackrabbit's only
touchdown against the powerful Uni
versity of Wisconsin team at Madison
Saturday. Carey's drop kick was
broken up by Rudky and the game
ended, Wisconsin scoring 20 to States
6.
The Badgers made their gains by
using the screen pass, Barr to Tebel
or Irish. These men starred for Wis
consin, both wing men getting away
for good gains. Owens tackling was
a feature of States playing, as was
also the work of Schultz. States
backtield was slow in getting started.
WEIGH made good with his punting
throughout the game.
State held the ball on her own 5
yard line at the end of the first quar-
ter. Gibson carried the ball for
the Badgers first touchdown and Te-
bells place kick brought the count up
to Z. Wisconsin made good IL out OF
IA attempted passes, with a total gain
of las yards in the first half. State
gained Is yards on the single pass
State completed two successful
passes for 25 yards each, WEIGH to
Carey, in the last quarter, and toward
the very end of the game Schultz car
ried the ball over for States counter.
State college students received a play
by play report Of the game on an cleo
trio scoreboard in the auditorium. The
entire student body and town is proud
Of the showing made by the team.
The annual contest between South
Dakota State College and the Univer-
sity of North Dakota, it seems, is al
ways a thriller and a decisive factor
in determining the gridiron champion
ship of the two Dakotas. The game
of this week is to be no exception for,
now that the w teams are members
of the North Central Intercollegiate
conference, not only the football title
of the two Dakotas, but also the cham
pionship of a conference including the
best teams in the northwest is at
stake.
Often times the State-North Dakota
university game has been decided i'll
Tho ,rnryr lnSt fnyy minutes nf NAV In
1919 State won in the last 3 minutes
of play with a sensational run aftel
a completed forward pass. The score
was 9 to 7 and by winning this game
State took the championship Of the
two Dakotas. In 1920 the Flickertails
defeated State, 6 to 3, with a field goal
in the last SO seconds Of the game and
thus the championship of the two
states went to the northern team. Last
season States team again won over
Davis men in a thrilling contest, score
27 to IA, and the Dakota title was won
by the Ja~ckrabbitS. This year the
game is to be a feature Of North Da-
kota's Homecoming day and a spirited
battle is assured.
The Jackrabbits have a hard-hitting,
line-plunging team which a on oc-
casion make good use of a forward
pass. The backfield, piloted by Frank
WEIGH, which is an exponent of the
q%uadruple threat in football as well
as a crafty field general, never failed
to score against any team met last
season, besides being successful in
putting over a counter against the
University of Wisconsin last Satur-
day.
Captain Roberts, at fullback, is a
slippery open field runner. Schultz,
States plunging fullback, is feared by
every team in the conference and it
takes a wonderful line to stop him
from going through. Ross Owen and
Bob Coffey, both of whom play half
back, are hard-hitting, ~hard-tackling
shifty players who will bear watching
by the Flickertails every minute.
States line was able to stop the
most vicious Of Wisconsin's smash at
tacks and with the added experience
Of that game behind them it is certain
that the linemen will put up a strong
front at Grand Forks. The team had
a real workout against the forward
pass at Madison, that being the chief
source Of the Badger victory, and
State is preparing for the same sort
Of a game this week. Vests men have
a few pass plays themselves and it is
not unlikely that some of them will
be tried out on Davis team If neces-
sary to bring about a victory. 1t is
quite likely, however, that State will
rely on her hard-hitting backfeld to
plunge her way to victory mex Fri
day.
About 20 men will make the trip to
Grand Forks, arriving in a special car
about 8 a. m. Friday. The following
men will start the game against North
Dakota: Thompson, left end: Murray,
left tackle; Fem. left guard; Coffey,
center; Bachman. right guard; Smith
right tackle; Sundet, right end;
WEIGH. quarterback. Schultz. full
