VICTORY AND
A TIE GAME

OUR TEAMS.

LEGE TIES WITH RAPID TY.

A victory and a tie was Eie por-
ton allotted to our football diators
on Thanksgiving day. III v victory
went to the high school, Sich de,
feated Pierre by a score S21 to 0,
while the college boys til with The
strong School of Mines te' g at Rapid
City, neither team being g 9 to score.
The high school game was played
at the college park and was witnessed
by a large delegation Of citizens who
had to hurry through their Thanksgiv-
ing dinners TO do it. The game was
interesting in spite of the one-sided
score, as the Pierre boys put up a
game uphill fight and made Brook
ings play for every point they made.
The game was one of the prettiest
of the season to watch, as both
cams played an open game and used
the forward pass to good advantage.
The Brookings team outweighed
their opponents, although the differ
ence in weights was not large, Pierre
had a fas. S.ilcn and they ran their
PLAYS off faster than any team that
has appeared here this season, but
their team play was ragged. Their
interference, while it formed quickly,
was loose and easily broken up by
BrookingS and several times the
backfeld men seemed to have paid
littel or no attention to the signals.
Catlett was the star for Brookings,
as he has been in every game the
team has played this season, and
the balance of the backfield also done
effective work. Fishback, who has
been a star defensive player all sea-
son, did exceedingly well on offense
in this game and his accurate handling
of the forward pass was responsible
for no small part of the ground gained
by BrOokings.
Brookings carried the ball over for
a touchdown a few minutes after the
beginning of the game and from that
time on there was never any question
as to the result. In the last quarter
Pierre took a grace and carried the
ball down to within scoring distance
of the Bookings goal, but the home
team held inc by a series OF pretty
forward passes and end runs they
took the ball to the Pierre two-yard
line, where time was called, and a few
seconds more would have meant an
other touchdown.
The teams lined up as follows:

CRAWFORD WRITES.

Register
Will the Register kindly let this
statement be made through its col
umns: That while the City of Brook
ings claimed to have paid $4,000 to-
ward the erection OF the present court
house the actual facts are that the
tax payers of Brookings county did
pay $4,000 toward the erection OF the
court house, and did pay for every cen,
of the extension of the court house
These being facts well known, d..
you wonder that people living outside
Of the city entertain unfriendly rela-
tons when those who pose as spokes-
men for the city publish statements SO
wide of actual truth? We have sins
enough to answer for, If only the truth
is told. Say, come off, Oh, come off,!
No one is running for office-get to
the truth and stick to 1t. We are
truly glad that the Register has re-
Trained from libeling the tax payers of
~Brookings county. There has been a
proposal that the old court house
should be kept as the property of
Brookings county. That it be removed
to some convenient lot and used as a
Brookings county hall. The Elkton
Record once said That Brookings al
ways did wear bristles.' This would
be a good time and a proper place to
have the city cultivate amiability, and
the city might well get a dove and
carry it at the head of the procession.
The recent vote upon the court house
shows that you have good use for all
of your friends, and really, the City Of
BrOokings could increase the number
Of it's friends by a considerable num-
Der, and yet nc have anything to
write home about. OF course the
writer knows that there are many of
the citizens of Brcokings that in a
way are not responsible for the say
ings in the paper, and yet they are,
too, and must zeal the blame. We are
not asking for contributions, not ask
ing for something that belongs to the
city, We only seek our own. We de-
sire fair play and nothing nor A
very few of us outside tax payers
could have defeated the court house
bonds. Now since We saw fit to aid
the proposition, why the necessity Of
piling falsehood upon falsehood upon
us. And then not satisfied, want to
steal our property. No, rather let us
continue to own our own. Go read the
records and learn that the farmers
were forbidden the use of the court
house to hold farmers meetings n
and then talk about taking the court
house for city purposes, because that
the taxpayers generally did not orig
inally pay for the erection of the court
house. Why, the large majority of
that old court house was paid for by
the general taxpayers-only they did
not know it. The bare facts are that
they did so pay.
Yours truly,
r. M. Crawford.

during the war of the outbreak, when
the federal officials fled from the ter

the volunteer militia that fortified
Yankton, and, as he exercised supreme
power there, was dubbed governor,
a title he wears with honor to this
day.
