Sapt House of the Indian School,
eiyed some good news this week
tainci in a letter and telegram,
minis him chat the committee
re ever branch of congress hav-
Va 2rSe Of such matters had acted
a}orably upon a bill requesting an
Cliiatiun Of sci 900 to be eX-
ended in making improvements 1T
he local institution and enlarging
educational facilities.
The Information in the communi-
atlons from Washington was quite
o2Sre as far as the details were
an2erned, but Mr.. House stated that
ae was OF the opinion that the
can't covered certain improve
&Snis he had brought before the
horities during his recent visit to
he national capital. Should this
5remise be correct the $4,000 ap-
Iropliation will probably be distrib-
uted as follows:
Five thousand dollars for a Do
mestic Science course: five thous-
and dollars for general repairs n
e!uding cement walks, ETC.; five
thousand dollars to be used in per-
fect!ng private water system and
the remainder, six thousand dollars,
was requested for the purpose of
Installing a sewerage disposal tank,
which will permit the publication Of
sewerage before it is drained into
Rapid Creek.
In addition to the amounts item
lied in theforegoing, an appropri-
alton was requested to cover the
cost Of building ipe line from the
springs to the Indian school, 1t is
not known definitely what action the
committee took regarding this latter
request. however, should the
house not act favorably upon 1t,
there is still the chance that the
senate will take the necessary action
by adding the desired amount to bill

To those who are familiar with the

the news Of the proposed appropri-
alton will doubtless be gladly re-
ceived and superintendent House is

Indoor Ba!l Game.

lndou, Ba!l Game.
The first games scheduled for the
local Y NJ G. !. BASKET ball and in
door ball squads with outside teams
were played in the Auditorium Friday
evening before a crowd of fairly good
proportions, who whooped things up
in good shape when ever that op-
portunity was given them and it
came quite often during the course Of
both contests. Chadron Y. NJ. c. A.
sent up a fine bunch of sturdy attn
letes to compete for honors and they
succeeded in capturing the basket
ball event, by the rather unusual
score Of 4-6. The indoor bali team,
however, was not SO Fortunate, go
ing down to defea: to the tune Of
1912 after a halrraising ninth M
ming finish which aroused the en-
thusiasm OF the rooters to a high
pitch.
The basket ball game was played
first, getting a rather late start. on
account of the inability Of the ath-
letic committee to get the field mark
ed Off earlier in the day, owing to
the reconstruction operations going
on in connection with putting in the
-sudtoriums new stage However,
the crowd was good natured and for
got about the delay soon after the
referees whistle opened the battle
between the two lives.
AS the score indicates baskets from
the field were few and far between,
but six points out Of total of ten
for both teams, being annexed inthat
manner, a fact that speaks we'll for
the clever blocking. of the Chadron
and Rapid City guards. Another inn
portant factor in Keeping the score
down was the slippery condition Of
the floor. On more than one ooca-
sion, just as he was about TO try for
goal some player would do the
banana skin stunt and fall all over
himself causing the throw TO go wild
