W.-Clemson cams al Grltlth Stadium next Friday night ana IL Is possible that he will not nans tne starting array until the night befora the contest.

The game will start at at 8 o’clock. The Coyotes from South Dakota are reputed to be the best ever produced in Vermilion. and unless the Nodaks show vastly improved offense over their George Washington exhibition last Friday night. the dope will point to a South Dakota victory.
