The biggest and best gift giving en-
terprise ever conducted by any news
paper in Eastern South Dakota is be
ing in%augerated by the Brookings
Weekly Register this week. Over
81 900 in prizes will be awarded abso-
lutely free to the candidates vino COM
pete for them. The contest will be
of only a few weeks duration and no
candidate will lose, because we are
going to pay back 10 per cent of all
the money she collects to every can
didate who works through the con-
test and fails to win a prize.
The prizes will all be given abso-
lutely free, it costs a candidate moth
ing to try and the 10 per cent offer
makes it impossible to lose. The
first prize is a magnificent 1915 Ford
automobile. This prize will be given
absolutely free to the candidate who
secures the highest number of votes.
A $500 Whitney piano is our second
prize and this beautiful instrument
will certainly pay any candidate well
for a few weeks pleasant work. The
third prize is a $50 genuine diamond
ring of fine color and excellent cut
The fourth prize a $40 business
scholarship will mean a business edu-
aatinn m tho Winnnr in a rnnnta h1p

who works through the contest and
fails to win a prize gets 10 per cent
of the money she collects during the
contest. Next weeks issue of the
Register will contain illustrations OF

MEET

Quite a few of the sportsmen Of the
city held a meeting at the Commercial
Club rooms on Tuesday evening and
selected F. f. Youngburg and r. II.
Bartlett as delegates to the state meet
ing of sportsmen held at Huron yes
terday. The local meeting discussed
the game laws and we're of the opin-
ion that no radical changes are adj
visable, except that more rigid meth
DDS are necessary in dealing with the
fish-hogs who have scined most of the
good fish out of the lakes in this vicin-
ity. They also recomn ended that a
fish hatchery be established some
where in the eastern part of the state,
and that a game preserve be placed
in the Black Hills.

A NEW GAME LAW

F.. E. Y%oungburg and r. II. Bartlett
returned last night from Huron, where
they attended the meeting Of the
spOrtsmen of the state. Mr.. Young
burg tells us that the meeting decided
to recommend an almost entirely new
game and fish law to the next legis-
changes will undoubtedly be made.
The new law is copied after the Min
nesota law land will provide for a
state game and fish commission of
three members who will administer
the law. Mr.. Youngburg was appoint
ed on the special committee to draft
the law and present it to the legisla-
ture. The meeting was a large and
enthusiastic one, and undoubtedly the
new law will have the support Of all
sportsmen of the state.
Some of the most important changes
are: Chicken season from September
Z to December /; duck season from
September Z to April 1. This extends
in the fall, but practically cuts out the
spring duck shooting. The hours Of
shooting, which are rather indefinite
under the present law, were set from
one hour before sunrise to one hour
after shutdown. 1t was decided to
limit n~on-residents to fifteen days
shooting in the state. This feature of
the law was recommended after the
meeting had been informed that a
party of Ohio hunters had remained
at Lake Albert during the entire duck
season and hunted every day, throw
ing the ducks back in the lake, as they
of course could not use them. The
license fee and the number of birds a
hunter may shoot remains the same.
1t was decided to spend $4,000 OF
the game fund to establish a fish
hatchery in the eastern part Of the
state, and $4,000 for a game preserve
in the Black Hills, and $4,000 each
year for the next two years in the
propagation and distribution of the
feathered game.
All convictions under the new law
will carry a Jail sentence, without the
option Of a fine, and this is expected
to aid in stamping out seining and
other violations of the law. If a man
knows that he cannot get of with a
fine, but will have to go to Jail he is
liable to think twice before he violates
the law. II vas also made a crime to
have anything larger than a minnow
sein in ones possession, and this may
help some.

WHAT ARE WI COMING TO?

On the opening Of congress Monday
recommendations asked for 500, 900 for
a public building in this city, and we
are wondering just where ~Brookings
is at on this proposition. Three years
ago the first bill for a Brookings pub
lie building called for $4,000 and last
year the recommendation was for
$4,000. Now along a recon-
mendation for $4,000, and we pre-
sumo the next congress a year hence
will be asked to buy us a Christmas
turkey or a sack of Perfection -four.

PIERRE DEFEATS HIGH SCHOOL

A large crowd gathered at the col
lege park Thanksgiving afternoon and
saw Pierre high school wallop the
Brookings team by a score of 13 to
2. B~rookings outplayed the visitors
in the first half and should have o
ed, but Pierre came back strong in the
last half and ran over the local boys
for two touchdowns. Brookings scor-
ed it's two points as the result of a
safety neal the close of the game.
Pierre greatly ~outweighed the local
team, especially in the backfield
where they had two men who weighed
more than the average college player.
This superior weight told in the Sec
ond half, when the visitors appeared
to be fresh, while the home boys were
about all in.
The first half was interesting and
exciting, both teams putting up a
good game. Twice Bookings carried
the ball to within striking distance
of the visitors goal, but lacked the
power to take it over, and Pierre was
on the defensive the greater part of
the time. In the second half, how
ever, Pierre came back with a rush
and Bookings could not stop them.
They got their plays off quickly and
had enough power behind them to
gain ground readily. Brookings, on
the other hand, played ragged foot
ball in this half and apparently lost
all of their ginger. Pierre played the
better football of the two teams and
deserved to win.
Norman Dakin ran the team in good
shape, and Olson, Hoover and Walters
did good work in the backfield, espec-
tally in the first half. Hanson at end
is always good and Blakely did we'll
at tackle.
The game closed the season for the
home team. The past year has been
an unsatisfactory one, although the
team has played one or two good
games. This is the first poor season
Mr.. Patty has had since he has been
connected with the schools, so we
know that the team has not lacked
good coaching, and the trouble APP
pears to have been with the players
themselves. The bulk of the men
worked well enough, but there were
two or three who thought they were
indispensable to the team and prac-
ticed only when they felt so inclined.
This naturally made a poor team
spirit and it is little wonder that the
players did not show much ginger or
team work.

COLLEGE TEAM WINS

The State College c~ross-country
team, composed of S~trachan, Iverson,
Faulkner, Lynch and LaGd, won the
cr~oss-country run at Aberdeen on
Thanksgiving Day. The team won the
banner and Strachan carried off the
first prize, a silver loving cup. Lynch
won third place, Faulkner fourth and
Iverson twelfth, in a field of t~hirty-two
n This was the first cross
country run ever held in the state,
and the college has reason to be
pleased with the work of Trainer
Temple and his team.

DARKNESS DEFEATS COLLEGE

Darkness defeated the State College
football team at Rapid City on
Thanksgiving Day by a score of % to
Is. To be sure, the school Of mines
team had some little hand in the de-
feat-they called the game along
about bedtime-but the major part of
the credit goes to Darkness.
The college boys came home dis
gusted with the game and the treat
ment they received at Rapid City.
They outplayed the miners two to one,
but We're denied the victory. The
game was not called until $3.50 in the
afternoon, which means 4:30 here, as
the time changes across the river, and
the last half was played in darkness.
The miners managed to sneak across
two to~uchdowns in this half, under
of darkness and the Brookings
boys could not stop the man with the
ball for the very sufficient reason
that they could not see him. The
autoes on the sidelines lit their lamps
to light up the field, but their efforts
we're SO feeble that the darkness was
only intensified. The game was
dragged out much beyond the usual
length because of continual %wrangling
with the referee, a Rapid City man,
who apparently did not know n
more about football than a hen does
about psychology. Brookings repeat
eddy carried the ball down to within
a yard or two of the miners goal only
to have the referee take it away from
them on some rule unknown to
Walter Camp.
Skinner was the best ground gamer
for Brookings and was chiefly respon-
sible for the two ~Brookings scores.
The game, particularly the last
half was a farce, but it is to be re-
GREETED that it ended as it did. A
victory would have given he State
College a clear title to the intercol-
legiate championship, but now the
situation appears hopelessly tangled.
The victory did not do Rapid City any
good, as they have been licked by
every other team in the state and if
BrookinPs had received a square deal
they would have handed them the
anne dose.
The colleges football season was
very much of a success, in spite Of the
unsatisfactory ending. and the work
of Coach Ewing merits nothing but
praise. He took a bunch Of green
material, practically all Freshmen,
and welded them into a fighting foot
ball machine that would have won
the collegiate championship, but for
the circumstances above recorded.
The prospects are very bright for the
coming year, as practically all of the
present squad will return and many
good new men will come in, and If
Mr.. Ewing is given the right kind of
support from the student body he will
turn out a championship team.

WE ARE AGED

Prof. Hutton and twelve members Of
his geology class went to Lake Benton
Friday morning and spent the day ex-
aiming the geological features OF that
vicinity. After mature deliberation
they came to the conclusion that the
Lake Benton country was a million
years younger than the Sioux Valley,
and when that section gets its growth
it may be as good a country as this.

COMING TO A GOOD COUNTY

Secretary Gullick of the Commercial

farmer this week, which illustrates the
value of advertising. The farmer said:
II attended the Chicago land show and
saw Brookings county's exhibit in the

you that If you can raise those things
out there I am coming to Brookings
county, and will be there the first thing
