Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 25.-Th
Oldest and keenest football rivalry ii
the Northwest will be renewed satur
day when the University Of North Da
kota plays host to North Dakota Stat
College in Memorial stadium in tn,
10th meeting between these tw,
teams. A capacity crowd will gathel
from all over the state to take par
in the Sioux Homecoming activities.
Past records mean little when these
two elevens get together. So bitter 4.

always are close; the action fast ane
furious; the results problematical.
The University Sioux will be the
underdogs by slight margin, because
OF the fact that the Bison have made
q better showing against the only
team both have played. State wa
defeated by South Dakota State, 1877
The University was trounced by the
same team Saturday, 1872.
Each team will present one speed
ster upon whom much of the often
sive duties will depend. The Sioux
will pin their hopes on Capt. Ralph
Pierce, the fastest halfback in the
Northwest. The Nodak leader has
been bothered all year by a pulled leg
muscle that has kept him on the side
lines a great deal. However, he should
be in condition to face the Aggies.
Fritz Hanson Classy
In Fritz Hanson, the Bison have q
fullback who is regarded as the equal
to Pierce by State followers. Just q
trifle slower than the Sioux captain.
who is capable Of :O98 in the 100 yard
dash, Hanson runs with drive and zip.
The performances of Ted Mein-
hover, 6-foot-7-inch giant tackle Of
All-American consideration, have
brought JOY to Coach Jack West of
the University Of North Dakota. The
Bismarck, behemoth has bolstered the
defense considerably while his Often
sive blocking has permitted Sioux
backs to look impressive.
To honor the Nodak captain, "Pierce
Day" will be celebrated in conjunction
with Homecoming.
It will be the final home appear
ance Of the Nodak speedster. For
the last three years he has been the
leading North Dakota offensive
threat, as well as the leading punter
in the North Central conference.
A delegation of admirers from his
home town, La Moure, will attend the
game and present him with a gift.
University gridders were to have
their first workout of the week We'd
nesday.
With Memorial stadium turf coy-
cred by six inches of snow, the Sioux
worked in the cramped quarters I'm.
der the stadium.
Coach G. A. West had three regu-
lars on the sidelirles while the fourth
did not report. Captain Pierce, suf-
fering from torn leg muscle, was not
out at all, while Rip Dablow, block
ing back, Irving Kupcinet, tailback,
and Bill Goethel, right guard, watch
ed the workout.
Regular Tackle Crippled
In addition to the four, AL Sowle.
regular left tackle, did only light duty
after having water drained from an
injured knee.
There was promise that Roger
Reichert, regular left end, might be
at his post Saturday as he returned
to the lineup. He had a bone broken
in his foot during the George WASH
ington game.
Fritz Falgren worked at blocking
back, Clyde Huddleson at right wing
back. and Duane Neuenschwander at
tailback In revised backfield.
Still puzzled at the ease in which
South Dakota State slashed in the
bud the North Central championship
hopes Of Jack Vests Sioux from North
Dakota university are Coaches G. G.
Finnegan and Bob Lowe Of the Agri-
cultural college.
I'VE had expected South Dakota
State to pull through with q win be-

work and reserve strength" Coach
Finnegan said, but we had not ex-
pected an 1872 rout without q scoring

This Saturdays Homecoming game
