NEW THEATRE COMBINE
A Double Header to Give the Best
Going

Maurice jerks of Yankton, manager
OF the theatre at his home city and
also OF the theatre at Mitchell, and
III. l.. Walker of IIrookings, manager
of the theatre at that place and also
booking agent for large number of
theatres in central South Dakota, met
at the Cataract house in Sioux Falls
Tuesday evening for a conference. In
the past each of the above mentioned
managers have been working indepen-
dent of each other and in doing so
have got their wires crossed.
After talking the matter over
Messrs. jerks and Walker decided
that in the future they would work as
one and so get away from conflicting
dates. The two gentlemen control
practically all the theatres i'm eastern
South Dakota, except those i'm Sioux
Falls, so far as booking is con
cerned. Under the new deal there will
be no further trouble in the booking
arrangements. With the chain of
houses that they can offer they are
also in better position to secure
stronger attractions for their various
houses.-SiouX Falls Argus-Leader.

INTERESTING FOOT RACE
Two Hundred Dollar Purse Put Up
on Result

There will be an interesting race
here November Goth, the contestants
being a man by the name Of Anderson
from ElktOn, and viii Shaw, the old
college track star, who is now located
at Bushnell. The race will be for a
half-milc, and will probably be n"lu
at the college track The race grew
out OF the claims of the Elkton DeOp q
that their man is a world ,beater. and
they put up 800 as their share of the
purse, which was promptly duplicat-
ed by the Bushnell people. There is
considerable interest in the east part
OF the county over the contest and
quite little money will change hands
on the result If Shaw is anywhere
near as good as ne was he will look
good to Brookings people. fhe
weather will be pretty chilly for a

badly have to discard the abbrcl lated

Immediately sent Denhart crashing
through Tanner for the touchdown.
Coach Juneau said after the game:
Give a good deal of the credit for
the victory to the enthusiasm worked
up by the students before the game.

that could have been gained in no
other way. Such loyalty on the part
of the student body is what wins
