The football season opens this week
and life Will take on a new ZeSt and
interest in this community where prac-
tlcally every citizen is an ardent fan.
Columbus College of Sioux Falls will
meet the State College J~ackrabbits on
the local field Saturday afternoon in
the opening contest of the long, hard
schedule which the Jackrabbits face
this fall. Coaches G. A. West and Fred
Enke everything in readiness
for the first game and have made their
selections Of players to begin the bat
tie.
Every man in the lineup at the be-
ginning of Saturdays game will be
familiar to State College fans, all of
them having made a name for them
selves last season. Thompson and
Sundet will be at their old positions on
the ends. Joe Smith. the 22O pound
giant. and Joe Murray will hold down
the tackle positions. Frank Coffey
will be at center. Bachman and Fem
stationed at guards. In the backfield
will be all of the stars OF last year.
Schultz OF Aberdeen, at fullback; Rob-
erts and Owens. halfbacks; and Welch
of Madison, quarterback. This is the
most formidable array of veterans that
State College ever opened the season
with. In addition to these men there
are over twenty other candidates,
MANN, of tInn, ryln h.I Avnan,nnan -,
last years team. that are ready to
replace any Of the first string men.
In the game Saturday, the coaches
hope to be able to use two or three
different teams, giving all of the men
an opportunity to show their worth.
Art Johnson is back and in shape
to take his old place at quarter. Larry
Seaman of SiOuX City, a letter man of
last year, is in better shape than ever
to fill the fullback position. Lee of
4 NOlga, another letter man. is a sea
soned guard. Bruins, Deadly, Heath
cote, Mears. Carey. Thune, Morton,
Snyder, Nyehart, Swabot, Foss, Bleck-
or, Ryger, Globes and Lippert are some
Of the most promising of the second
string men OF last year who are back
this year working hard for positions
on the first team and will doubtless be
called upon in many of the games this
season.
Ed Stanton, one Of the best guards
State ever had on her team, is back
in school this fall and will go back
into his old game as soon as he recov-
ers from injuries which he recently re-
ceived in a railroad accident. 1t is
hoped that he will be in shape for the
Hobo day game. Wheeler Of Messing
ton Springs, is a new man and is said
to be n Of the most promising can
didates of the year. Hawley, q, lad
tipping the scales at 22O pounds from
Howard, is another freshman who
looks well at the guard position. Stur-
geon OF De Smet, is showing speed in
the back field. Manner of Albert Lea,
WEIGH Of Madison, Walsh CT Water
town, Popowski of Grafton, n. D., and
SChmitz Of Adams, are a few of the
other promising candidates among the
new men. All told States football
squad numbers about fifty men, so the
average football fan cannot expect to
remember all Of their names.
A week from Saturday, the Jackrab-
bits will meet st. Thomas, the first con.
ference game of the season. This
game will also be played in Brookings.
On October IA, all eyes will be turned
toward Madison, Wis, where States
warriors will be battling the University
OF Wisconsin in a fierce endeavor to
wrest victory from this Big Ten team,
who defeated State by such a narrow
margin last year. A victory owe this
team will mean much for State College.
The Jackrabbits will be heralded all
over the country as a new football
giant OF the west. Dope from Wiscon-
sin indicates that they have a very
strong team, but a large number of
their veterans are missing and they are
building practically a new line. Their
old star quarterback has been ruled
eligible and this has boosted Wisconsin
stock a great deal. Everything con-
sidered, State has a much better
chance of winning this year than they
did last year.
