BIG PHILLIPS HERD
is CLOSED OUT NOW

Pierre, S. D.-The herd of cattle
owned by the "Scotty' Philip estate,
which has been ranged on leased
pastures on Lower Brule reservation
for a number of years, has been clos
ed out on account of the leasing priv
ileges being cut u on that reserve.
The last shipment OF forty cars was
made from Kadoka a few days ago,
and this shipment marked the ending
of one of the few big cattle herds
which have been held together west
OF the river regardless OF the settle
ment of the past five years. This
leaves the only large herds in the
state. on the Cheyenne river reser-
walton north of Cheyenne river, and
on Pine Ridge reservation in the
southwestern part of the state. and
the encroachment OF settlement Will
soon put these herds out of existence
as it has all in the central part of the
state.

Brickley kicked two field goals
and a goal from placement OF Al
yards and batted the Princeton lines
for longer gains than were made by
any other player on either team. In
addition he Intercepted two Prince
ton forward passes and hammered
his way to within striking distance of
the Tiger goal line where Eardwick
had the honor of carrying the ball
over for the Crimson's only touch
down. Hardwick kicked the goal.
In the play which resulted in IIar-
wards touchdown, made in the last
few minutes of the game, Briekley
was injured and carried helpless
from the field and may not resume
play before the game with Yale three

The game vas one of the most
spectacular ever played here, abound
ing in forward passes, speedy end
shifts, tackles and other intri-
cate formations. At such tactics, Chi
cago had a decided advantage but
this was more than overcome by the
powerful drive of the Wisconsin
backs in cross bucks and by Gillette's
ability to turn the Maroon ends be-
hid sufficient interference.
1t WAS its inability to gain by
straight football that cost Chicago

WOULD PROHIBIT
SPRING SHOOTING
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FISH
AND GAME COMMISSIONERS
PROPOSES UNIFORM LEG
ISLATION.

Pierre, S. D.-General prohibition
of spring shooting of wildfowl and
the sale of game is to be the founda-
ton OF the campaign of the National
Association of Game and Fish Com
m~issioners, as outlined by the reconl-
mendations of the special committee
appointed at Denver. Game Warden
Bancroft Of this state was one of the
general committee selected to work
out a comprehensive plan to secure
greater uniformity in state game laws
The committee after consideration
finds it impossible to draw one law
which would meet the needs of all the
states of the union, but they make
general recommendations, that in the
drafting OF game laws, a permissive
policy, such as prevails in Colorado
and New York, be followed; that To-
cal legislation be reduced to a min
imum, and the broadest possible pow
ers be conferred upon state auth
critics to provide when necessary.
after due notice and hearing, special
| protection for certain kinds of game
10 meet the needs of special occas~
ions; that game laws be made as SIM
Pile as possible, and that laws for pro
lection OF fish be kept separate from
The general game laws.
In regard to administration the
committe recommends the Wisconsin
system of merit promotion under a
general state warden system. and the
thorough divorcing of the game de-
partment from politics.
In regard to the shooting season,
they recommend universal prohibit
ON of spring shooting of migratory
birds; that so far as possible the op-
adjoining states be made uniform,
that the open seasons for prairie
chickens should not exceed thirty
days; that plover. killdeer and sand
piper be removed from the game list
and given protection at all seasons;
and that swans and sandhill cranes
De removed from the game list and
protected.
In regard to big game they recon-
mend protection for does and fawns
of deere with no shooting allowed eN-
cept for a limited season, and then
for bucks only, and that elk and an
telope be protected absolutely.
They recommend mandatory licen-
Sc in all states. that propagation OF
game and fish be encouraged anC
that game commissioners and ward
ems be empowered to arrange fol
game refugees on private lands, ant
thai cooperation between nationa
and state authorities be carried as
far as possible ~ game protection.
