CHAMPIONSHIP
TO BROOKINGS
COLLEGE WINS STATE MEET AT
HURON.
HAVE WON THREE CUPS
AND ARE NOW CHAMPIONS FOR
NINE STRAIGHT YEARS.

The college track team won the
state meet, held at Huron last Thurs
day and Friday, for the ninth consec-
utive year. This victory was espec-
tally gratifying to Brookings, as it
gives the college permanent posses
sion of the third championship cup. 1t
also gave them the title of tri-state
champions, as they defeated Hamline
university, which has won from the
best teams of Minnesota and North
Dakota.
While Brookings' margin Of victory
was less than for some years, the
State college athletes showed their
class and demonstrated their super
iority over the other teams of the
state, especially Vermillion, which is
another gratifying fact here in
Brookings.
The total points scored by each col
lege is as follows: Brookings, 63;
Vermillion, SO; Mitchell, 8; Huron
G; Redfield, 4. The three latter

teams were out of the running from
the start, and it was little more than
dual meet between the two big state
institutions.
The last event, the high hurdles, de-
s.cided the meet. On account of the
high wind the hurdles had been placed
after the relay in the hope that the
3 gale would go down, and when the
closing event was called Vermillion
had 5S points and Brookings SO. To
win the meet the State college ath-
letes had to win first and second in
8 the hurdles. Perley and Coughlin rose
3 grandly to the occasion and came in
5 with the first two places, trailed by
Ortmayer and Evans of Vermillon.

Brookings showed up strong in the

Cliff Johnson, Brookings' star weight
man, took first in the discus and shot
and third in the hammer, winning the
most points for his team. Coughlin
4 was not in very good shape, but took
first in the low hurdles, second in the
high hurdles and third in the 22O-yard
dash. Huntimer had an easy time
winning his two events, the half-mile
4 and mile. Frank Sperb was another
good point-winner, taking the two
mile, second in the mile and third in
the halfmile.
The college team was accompanied

! up on a special train Thursday NOR
ming and returned Friday night.
Quite few went up on the regular
train Friday morning, and Brookings
was we'll represented, having the
largest delegation of any visiting col

A. o. U. w. GRAND LODGE.

S. II. Goodfellow, Z. F. Bagley. Geo.
Purdy, G. A. Williams. Mrs. G.. F..
Thayer and Mrs. Henry Getty returned
home the latter part of the week from
Pierre, where they were in attend
ance upon the annual convention of
the A. o. U. w. and Degree Of Honor.
AS we stated last week, the Brookings
lodges were honored by the election
of two of their members to the second
highest offices in the grand lodges, Mr..
Goodfellow being elected grand fore
man Of the Workmen, and Mrs. Thay-
er grand lady of honor of the degree.
There was a spirited contest in the
grand lodge over the question of
rates, what is known as the Nebraska
plan being finally adopted. This Is an
Improvement over the old rate, being
higher, but in the opinion Of large
number Of members the rate is not
yet high enough and there Is no ques-
tion but that it will have to be raised
within a very few years Mr.. Good
fellow presented his rate plan to the
lodge and it was very favorably re-
ceived. 1t is higher than the Nebras
ka plan and it would undoubtedly have
been adopted but for the fact that
most of the delegates were instructed
to- vote for as cheap a rate as posi-
BILE. The cheap rate is all right fol-
the present, but it is bound to react
as it has in many states, where the
lodges have gone bankrupt. The De
gree Of Honor adopted the nationa
| fraternal congress rate for new bust
ness. allowing the old members t
! come in at the new rate or to remain
at the old rate at their option. Dead
wood was selected as the next plac,
of meeting.
The grand lodge elected Mr.. Good
fellow grand foreman with the idea o
making him deputy to travel abou
the state and carry on an educationa
campaign upon the rate question. Nj
Goodfel'ow understands this question
thoroughly and the lodge could no
have secured a better man to TAX
charge of this very important matter

COL. FROST VISITS US.

Col A. S. Frost was in the city
yesterday visiting old friends on his
way from Aberdeen to Watertown.
The colonel was commandant at the
college for several years prior to the
Spanish-American war and went from
here to the Philippines as colonel of
the famous First South Dakota Vol
unteers. Following his service in the
Philippines he was for some time
chief of police Of Evanston, III. He
lately returned to this state and has
been appointed military instructor of
the South Dakota national guard He
had about decided to locate in Aber-
deen. but states that it is so hard
to find a suitable home there that he
will probably locate in some other
ntown, possibly Brookings. Mrs. Frost
is at Ann Arbor, Mich, where she
will spend the summer.

MORE MOISTURE.

Our rainy weather has continued
the past week, but today it appears
as though it might be nice for few

CHURCH COMPLETED.

The Congregation Of the Christian
church have about completed their
church building on Sixth street. This
building will be sufficient for the
congregation as it is at present, but
as their numbers grow they expect
to build larger church and convert
the present building into a parson-

Brookings Individual Points.

The state meet marked the last ap-
pearance of Chas. Coughlin and Frank
Sperb under the State college colors.
Coughlin is without doubt the greatest
all-around athlete who has ever at
tended the institution on the hill. For
four years he has starred in football,
basket ball, base ball and track, as
we'll as taking prominent part in
other student activities, and his place
will be lard to fill. Sperb has been a
hard and faithful worker and a con-
sistent performer, and he, as we'll as
Coughlin, will be missed when the
track days roll around next spring.
The Huron meet closed the college
athletic work for the year. Coach
Saunderson, who has had charge of
the athletic department since last Sep
tember, has made good in his first
years work and we are glad to say
that he has been engaged for another
year. With the development of the
present material and the addition of
some new, the outlook for winning
track team next spring is very good.
