EAST NEW STUFF
TO PRAIRIE LADS
CoIoniaIs' CoIorfuI Foes Had
Trying Experience After
Last Tilt.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

TWENTY-FIVE bronzed youths
from the wind-swept prai-
i ries of South Dakota are
speeding to Washington to-
day with hearts af1re for conquest
in a strange land.
Tomorrow night they will battle
George Washington's Colonials
at Griffith Stadium.
We have it from Billy South
worth, who writes in glowing
phrases, that to many of the foot
ball warriors who wear the bril-
liant crimson of South Dakota
University this trip East Is COM
parable to a visit to a foreign
country.
Southworth. the Coyote press agent,
terms Vermillion, S. Oak, whence
comes the valiant band, IAN outpost Of
civilization"
For Washington foot ball fans" says
he this pack of South Dakota Coyotes
has much to offer. They play rugged
foot bali. give no quarter and ask none.
They have been hardened to life which
at times Is far more trying than that
of the gridiron"
A bowling wind swept across the
prairie from the upper reaches Of the
Missouri River when the boys boarded
a bus that was to take them many miles
to the nearest railroad. And, says
Southworth:
cit was a bowling mob Of students
that swarmed about the rugged con-
veyance. bidding their warriors au
revoir. These students await with eager
and expectant hearts the outcome Of
perhaps the most colorful game ever to
be played by team from their uni
versity.
Little Time to Prepare.
The Coyotes had only two days sur
cease between the time they met North
Dakota State under trying conditions
and the time they left Vermillion for
Washington.
A tale of hardship was brought back
by the Coyotes from the Northern ex-
panses Of North Dakota. Their bus ran
OF the road and into extreme difhculty,
and 1t was a herculean task for the
tired squad to get 1t back on the high
way. Railroad communication in that
section Is unheard of.
During the game with North Da.
kota State snow hurrieS hurried across
the field in binding gusts, and ex-
IRENE cold numbed the fingers" con-
tinued Southworth, "but there were no
complaints. These Dakotans have been
trained for q more strenuous existence"
just before the final workout was
held before leaving for Washington
youngster from the Black Hill region
of, Western South Dakota, Kramer, q
halfback, thrust himself into the lime
light He hurtled 5-foot barbed-wire
fence and captured a young coyote that
had wandered close to the practive field.
They put a muzzle on the pup and
are bringing him here as mascot.

They have an unsung hero at Ken
lal Green. Bill LANCE, jr., 170-pound
'outh with oxlike strength, has been
