II The first of the inter-society foot
ball games of the season was played
Tuesday afternoon between the Adel-
phian and Amphictyon preparatory
societies, the former winning by the
score of 8 to o. The game was quite
ragged but showed considerable abil-
ity among several of the players, the
playing being individual. The one
touchdown OF the game vas made
by Roy Whitlow and the 2 points
through a safety.
9 Gordon Clark, who was a student
here several years ago and who has
been preaching the past year at Con-
de, was visiting friends around the
University, Wednesday.
Football practice was resumed
Wednesday afternoon in preparation
for the game with the School of
Mines which will be played next Mon
day. Most of the players were some
i what stiff after their strenuous strug-
J gle with Vermillion, but all, with the
possible exception of Washburn, will
be in first class condition for the
rest of the season. 1t is more than
likely that in the Rapid City game
the locals will make use of open field
and new plays that they have been
afraid to risk before this fall.
Miss Ava Whitlow returned home
Monday after spending the past week
In Mitchell visiting her sisters and
brother at the University.
John Knight. who played fullback
on the University team in 1907, this
fall entered Drake University at Des
Moines and is captain of the fresh
man class team which defeated, the
organization of the sophomores. A
years residence is required at Drake
before an athlete can appear upon
any of the teams.
In the death of Pearl Stewart, a
member Of last years freshman
class, in this city last Thursday, the
University has been called upon to
mourn the death of one who had
many friends among the student
i body. The services were held Sum
day forenoon and were attended in
IA body by the ITALIAN society, of
which Miss Stewart was a member.
The pallbearers were Clyde Hinckley,
Don Brown, Herschel Tenant, Ber-
ME Dean, Will Pier and Charles
Bireline.
Upon the arrival in the city from
Vermillion at midnight Monday the
football team and rooters were CIV
en- a handsome ovation, considering
the hour and the opportunity. An
improvised band furnished music and
with red fire burning on the sidewalks
the crowd marched with torches to
the Second avenue corner where
speeches were made by spectators OF
the game and a short celebration
pulled off. The crowd was not too
tired Eve at that late hour to give
vent to their enthusiasm and appre-
citation for what the team had done
in the afternoon.
There have been no active steps
taken and it looks very much as if
there would be no preparatory inter-
society debates this school year.
These debates have always been pro-
ductive of much good, both in arous-
ing enthusiasm in debating and So
ciety spirit and in laying the founda-
ton for future debaters for the
'.schol.
The Yankton students who we're
at the Vermillion game Monday as
sured us that they would be out in
!; force for the Thanksgiving game
/, which they play here and that they
would likely come on a special train.
Yankton has a good team and an en-
!. thusiastic crowd of students and the
local football season should be clos
ed In the best possible manner.
The ITALIAN and Daedaian socie-
ties will give their annual joint ban
lquet for the year next Monday even
ing In the basement Of the M. E.
church.
