NOTES.
Yellow and blue,
Yellow and blue,
We have the cup
And III keep it too!
The receipts were double these Of
any previous meet.
The attendance was the largest ever
known in the history Of the associa.
tion.
The base ball game by Mitchell and
Yankton closed the meet and was won
In the 10th inning by Yankton, score
6 tot.
Thursday evening and Friday morn
ing traius brought In over 100 more
Brookings people, making the largest
number from any outside city present
at the meet.
All-in-all we have never seen as large
a body of young people assembled who
conducted themselves as well as did
all the college representatives. 1t
makes one proud Of the colleges Of this
state and the student body,
Brookings may feel proud of the de-
portment Of the young people repre-.
senting the S. d. A. G. at the contest.
There was no boisterousnesS, no rowdy-
ism and no wrangling. AS one gentle
man remarked: You wouldn't know
that Brookings had won the prize cup,
other than by their happy faces"
j. S. Hoard, the long distance run
ner from Brookings, won the admira-
! tion of his fellow students, and the
track team especially. Mr.. Hoard
, has wonderful endurance and is very
swift at the finish. There is nothing
the matter with j. s.. and he has a
,, host of friends Ia this city.
Teddy" Akin, who has been of
substantial assistance in all the col
lege sports here for some time, kept
the enthusiasm at the right pitch
, during the meet and is deserving of nc
little credit for aiding the team in
!, vario US ways Our people will be de-
lighted to know that he has been
engaged" for another year.
The events which seemed to bring
out the most enthusiasm and caused
the Brookings people to rejoice were
, the bicycle races, broad jump, hammer
throw, hurdle races, 440.yard ana 220
yard runs, relay races and the long
distance races. In the latter Hayter,
Hoard and Shaw out-classed their
competitors and gave a pretty exhi.
bition of speed and endurance.
Huron took care Of the visitors in
fine shape and on behalf of the Brook.
ings contingent the REGISTER is
authorized to thank those who opened
their homes and In many ways looked
after the comfort of the young people.
Philip Lawrence, realizing that nearly
500 would be present from BrOokingS,
had a large list Of places ready, and
the best was none too good for the S.
d. A. G.
ALI honor To Andrus, the long dis
tance bicyclist, who set such a hot
pace for Mitchell that they we're not
able to squirt on the final and gave
Smith, who has q wonderful endur-
snce and ends the race with fine
burst OF speed, first place. Smith is
a clean rider and gentleman. An
drus is noble second and worthy OF
praise for being willing to sacrifice his
chances to gain points In order that
the s. d. A. G. should be sure win
ner. This Is the second year Andrus
has paced for Brookings.
It lis pleasing to note that "Jim"
Temple has been engaged to train the
athletes next year. Mr.. Temple has
the good will Of every member Of the
team. He Is always courteous, alert,
and reads an athlete as he would
book, knowing how to get the best out
Of a man and what to do In order to
win fairly. He teaches his team to
be orderly and fair In all contests.
This is what has caused the S, d. A,
C. boys to be admired by other college
teams and those who enjoy clean ath-
letic sports.
The band concert and reception
given at the opera house Friday even
ing was grand success, though the
attendance at the concert was not as
large as the music warranted. 1t was
the first time the writer had the priv
lege of hearing the band render con-
cert music and without reserve III was
the best we have ever heard by an
amateur band. Under the skilled
training OF Prof. Mann the band has
made wonderful progress, until 1t is
the best concert band In the state.
The reception was attended by a vast
number and the band gave splendid
satisfaction there az well.
When the two mile race was an.
nounced Mitchell sped two new men
In the line and wanted to know where
they came from. "Oh that's couple
of men from Brookings." This was
too much. The idea that with the
large number of long distance runners
which had been on the track from
Brookings, yet two who had not run
in previous races were entered In the
longest run In the list OF events took
the tuck out CT Prof. Cropp and his
big four. Hayter, Reimer and Will
son were easy winners ln TINS event,
| in the order named. Wilson has had
no training until this year and we
look for slayer and winner In him
