Important Game.

Ihei South Dakota State College
Football team has a chance to win the
North Central intercollegiate title. BY
their victory over the North Dakota
Asgies| last Saturday, ia to o., the
J~ackrabbits advanced to third place.
and II they win. next Saturday, when
they meet MoEningside at Sioux City,
and on the 3oth, when they play
Creighton. they will finish the season
with a percentage Of 500.
At the present time Creighton Is
holding first position with victories
over Des Moines University and South
Dakota University. The University Of
North Dakota is in second place with
thfee Conference games won and one,
lost: 1t is probable that the .Flickey.
tails will finish there. Ii the Jackrab-
bits lose one of their Hast two games
they Will tie with the local team; If
they-win both they will push tCreiEhs
ton down to third.
Two Other Teams Play.
Aside from the two conference
games mentioned there is one other,
but 1t will have TO bearing on the.
standings Of the leading cams North
Dakota Aggies will play their closing
game Of the season in the 3Oth with
Morningside at Sioux City. Next, Sat
4 urday Creighton plays the Michigan
h Aggies Mt Omaha.
\ The North Dakota Angles play at
Superior against. the Normal school
u there next Saturday. The Bisons' two
%attempts at conference games this
year We're both failures. Despite the
attempt to stage a comeback at the
Fargo school this fall, the Aggies have
not made the showing that was ex-
pected. The defense is fair, but in
Doth contests against the University
OF North Dakota and South Dakota
state, the ~offense was a failure.
STANDS Good Chance.
4, Vests team appears to be staging q
late season comeback and may win its
two remaining games. Last Saturday
1t completely outplayed the Fargo
team. h the first game the ball was
on the Aggies' 5-yard line, or inside it
three times. but South Dakota failed
to score. The J%ackrabbits tried II
forward passes and completed II os
t1em, while Cuttings team perfected
one out Of five. South Dakota State
made "a first downs by scrimmage
and the North Dakota team. one, the
result of the completed pass.
The st. Thomas team, which prick
co the championship bubble at the
local university, is playing but &two
conference games this year and both
of them are over. It was defeated
by South Dakota state the first game
OF the season and left a bad taste
there, as 1t did at Grand Forks by its
stalling tactics. The, following item is
received from that schools.
Disapprovc Of Methods.
Coach pii5rady Of st. Thomas has a
field general III Donaghue, who. IS a
past master in the art Of stallinE. 1t
is conceded that he prevented South
bal ota State from scoring at least two
tSuchdowns more by killing time in
the first conference game Of tho sea-
son. and W o weeks or more ago al
Grand Forks, with his team ahead Ny
a scant touchdown, he held the frantic
Flickertails Off long enough for the
Cadets. to emerge victors.
BRADY, who was picked on Ecker
sails all-westcrn eleven in. 1920, when
he was a member of the famous Notre
Dame combination of that year, could
hardly have used such tactics with
the amous Catholic eleven, but, it Is
>ppssible. that he makes up for lack of
material at st. Thomas with his adj
vanced generalship."
