TEAMS BATTLE
TO TIE SCORE
HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE A WARM
CONTEST.
N BROOkINGS SATURDAY
PLAY 0 TO o GAME At FAIR
GROUNDS ON SATURDAY..

Those old "ivals, the Watertow, and
Brookings high school football teams,
battled to a to 0 tie at the fair
grounds last Saturday afternoon, quit
ting the field with honors even. The
game was one of the hardest fought of
the season, and the terms were so
evenly matched that neither one was
able to gain consistently.
Brookings WIS outweighed by Wat
ertown, especially in the line, and
owing to the cordition of the field
this was a great handicap to the
home team. The field was covered
with 4three, or four inches of snow,
making i. the footing very uncertain
and 4it:lcr toarp was able to pull
off any long gains We think that
Brookings, with its fast backfield
would have won on hard, dry field
and it is certain that both teams
would have put up a better game I'M
der different conditions Not that
the players did not try for every
man on the two teams played to his
limit at all times, but The field pre-
vented first class football
The weather was cold, too cold
even for the players and the crowd
which was one of the best Of the
season suffered considerable from
the icy blasts. During the second
half snow began to fall, but the
spectators without an exception re-
NAMED to the finish and cheered the
home team on.
Brookings kicked off to Water
town to open the game, the visiting
team having won the toss and chosen
the west goal with the advantage Of
the northwest wind, Watertown was
unable to advance the ball and kick
ed. Brookings was not much better
and for the first fifteen minutes Of
the half the ball remained in the mid
die Of the field. Towards the end Of
the half Brookings braced and car
ried the ball to Watertown's 30
yard line where time for the half
was called This was Brookings best
effort of the game and with a little
more time they probably would have
scored
Brookings had the advantage Of
the wind in the second period Of play
and had they punted more frequent
ly a score might have resulted
Neither goal was in danger during
the half and for the most part the
play was in the middle of the field.
Brookings carried the ball to Water
towns 30-yard line in this half, and
the visitors at one period had it
down on the home teams 25-yard
mark. The game ended with the ball
at the center of the field.
For Brookings Caldwell did the
best work Of any Of the backfield.
carrying the ball for most Of the gains
made by the home team. Catiett
played good football but the left side
Of the Brookings line was weak and
allowed the visitors to break through
and spoil his runs around that end.
Dakin ran the team well Chapppil's
punting was good and the handling
of the visitors kicks by Catlett and
Dakin could hardly have been I'M
proved upon considering tie weather
conditions.
Both teams played clean, haid
football. and accepted the decisions
of the officials without protest.

John Da. who shot and killed D. Henry Duncan, millionaire vice pres ident and secretary oi the Bluff City Lumber Company, at Clio Monday noon, yesterday on the witness stand at Rison dramatically described the killing, repeatedly exclaiming in his testimony that he killed in se,f-de- tenSe; that Duncan went for his gun. after warning him against taking la borers before his partner. John F. Rutherford, president of the Bluff City Lumber Company, who had asked Day to explain why tue plant suffered so many shntdoWns and loss of time Day nervousiy pictured the scene Of the tragedy and incidents which he said preceded and provoked it.
 The testimony of Day vas the feat nrc of the preliminary hearing. which was delayed for more than an hour because of the inability of the court attendants to secure the services of a court stenograpFer. \ young man was prt sent who offered his services, pat he only wrote long hand and the sIowness of his taking testimony nec- "ssitated another postpone meut. H. T, Olcott, stenographer for the Bluff but counsel for the defense objected to his taking the official statements. It was finally agreed that Olcott should take the testimony in short hand and that each answer should bt read, approved and signed by each witness. The examination then pro- ceeded without hitch.
 Big Crowd Present.
 The hearing was held in the circuit court room and this proved made qaatf to accommodate the crowd that @lrged into the building. Many la- dies were present and there were prominent men from Jefferson, Cleve- land Grant and other adjoining coun- ties on hand listening with eagernesS to every work spoken on the witness stand.
 . Day came into the court room with d deputy sheriff He appeared ex- ceedingly nervous and when he took the witness stand later in his own behalf his voice trembled noticeably
 He took seat between his brother inlaw, Attorney \. II. RoweU, an, Colonel s. II. Taylor, chief counse, for the defense. Judge J. H. Bridges conferred with them.
