ATHLETIC BOARD CONSIDERS WEST South Dakota Stat Coach Is Interviewed Regarding His Application. BOARD WILL CONTINUE MEETINGS NEXT WEEK I Coach C. A. West of South Da kota State was interviewed by the athletic board Friday and Saturday regarding his application for the po sition of head football coach at Ne braska. Mr. West has an enviable record at South Dakota State, having pro duced a winning team this year, al though prospects were bad. Last year his men were champions of the north central conference after they defeated Creighton University of Omaha. The applicant for the position left open by the resignation of Fred T. Dawson, graduated from Coe college at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he played quarterback on the football team. He is also a track man. He has been at South Dakota State since 1919 and has had fair success during his term. West stresses the passing game and works out an entire eleven, not emphasizing the starring of any one man. Their passing won over Creigh ton in 1923 and 1924. Last year the team was found to have intercepted more passes than all their opponents combined, and had had only a few snapped up by opponents. South Dakota State university beat the Omaha team the past season by an attack which took the Creighton ians off their feet. The Dakota de fense was planned so as to practical ly exclude passing on the Creighton team, while their own aerial game was good enough to bring them a vic tory. The athletic board will meet again next week to consider applications for the coaching job. TIE GAME ENDS SOCCER TOURNEY Score of Game Between Soph omores and Seniors for Title Is 1 to 1.
