STATE COLLEGE
BEATS YANKT0N
IN A HARD-FOUGHT FOOTBALL
GAME AT COLLEGE PARK
ON FRIDAY
SHEEHAN'S TOE WINS FOR BROOMNGS
College Quarter Boots Two Drop-kicks
In Last Quarter-Brookings Puts
Up a Good Fighting Game.

The good right toe owned by Sbee-
han, the State College quarter, defeat
ed Yankton college at the athletic
park last Friday afternoon. The score
was, Bookings, 6; Yankton, 3, all of
the points being made by the air route.
1t is true that Sheehan had valiant
and valuable assistance from his team
mates, but it was his GOODNESS and the
accuracy of his toe in the pinches that
took down most of the laurel wreaths.
Both of these drop-kicks We're made
in the last quarter and the one that
cinched the game was negotiated in
the last half-minute of play. Yankton
made a drop-kick in the first quarter.
The game was one Of the hardest
fought contests eve pulled off in the
city and the ~closeness of the score
kept the crowd keyed up until the
final whistle blew. Both teams put up
a good aggressive game, but Brookings
outplayed the visitors, having the ball
in Yankton's territory the greater part
of the time, and deserved to win. In
the first quarter they took the ball
down to the visitors five-yard line,
where Yankton was penalized half the
distance to its goal for offside. This
penalty was inflicted on the third
down and instead OF calling first down,
according to the rules, the referee left
the downs as they were, and Brook
ings only had six inches to go when
the ball went to Yankton. 1t looked
for the first three quarters as though
Yankton would win and Sheehan's
first drop-kick was greeted with wild
delight and when he made the winning
score the crowd went into Mysteries.
The Brookings backfeld performed
we'll and the line also did good work.
Skinner has improved greatly over his
form OF last year and is the most ag
gressive man on the team. Captain
Caldwell Is always good, particularly
on defense. and Knox played the best
game he has shown this fall. The
ends had quite a serious time with the
Yankton forward passes. but other
wise their work was good. The work

WILSON ELECTED
NEXT PRESIDENT
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE SWEEPS
COUNTRY AT TUESDAYS
ELECTION
RESULT IN SOUTH DAKOTA VERY CLOSE
Roosevelt Appears to Have Clear lie
Over WiIson-Results of Election
In Bookings County.

Governor Woodrow Wilson of Ne :
Jersey, democratic candidate for pre- Z
dent, swept the country at Tuesday :
general election, being elected by t 8
greatest majority ever given a pre- :
Dental candidate. Returns up to last
night indicated that Wilson would
have AS electoral votes, Roosevelt 104,
and Taft II.
The democratic presidential victory
carried along with it many legisla-
lures, state Offices and congressman
and without doubt they will have a
majority of both houses of congress
after the 4th of next March.
Wilson displayed even greater
strength han his friends had expected,
while President Taft made an even
poorer showing than expected. He
carried but three states, Idaho, Utah
and Vermont. Roosevelt carried South
Dakota by a small majority. There
are several states that the result is so
close between Wilson and Roosevelt
as to be in doubt, but it will not make
much difference in the final tally.
Ex-Speaker Cannon was defeated
for reelection in Illinois.

On account of scarcity Of labor il
will be practically impossible to com
plete all the road work contemplated

The state
The race for governor
Byrne and johnson Is a very close one
and as we go to press today the result
is still in doubt. Chairman Sherwood
of the republican state committee
claims hat Byrne is elected by 5000
majority, while Chairman Coney
claims ,Johnson's election by 1900.
However the probabilities are that
Byrne is elected, as the country dis
tricts. which are coming in late are
more favorable to him than to his op-
ponent.
Roosevelt carried the state by s.,
900 on present indications and this
majority will probably be increased.
Congressman Burke was elected
from this district by a majority OF
about 5000, and Martin won out in
the Black Hills district by the same
figures. Dillon, republican candidate
was elected in the First district.
The republican state ticket. outside
of governor. has a big majority. NO
figures on the amendments are avail
able.

Roosevelt carried Brookings county
by a majority Of GAS, the figures being:

Nothing helps a city so much as a good system of street lighting. With it's own plant and current at a price which can hardly be equaled in New England, Norwich certainly has the opportunity to let its light shine to at- tract others and to benefit thereby Gradually has the center of the city had improved lighting conditions, but there are localities directly in the business centers which are dark de- spite the lights. The movement whicn Is intended Co better the lighting sys tenn is a commendable one and it is likewise important that the new lights shall not all be placed on Main street, but the plan made to include the streets on either side, which are the directions in which growth may come.
 Every growing city finds it necessary % keep up with the demands of the .me. A dark and dlngy city at night is detrimental not only to the business interests, but to the public in general or the past year OF more flaming are tights in Main. Broadway and She .1cket streets have demonstrated most eGectually the need of continuing the improvement. It bears the same rela tive progress in lighting that the per manent pavement does to the street netterment The need of both is ap parent in the further booming Of Nor Vich and they can be effectively car riei along together, each serving 10 Hring it's own special benefit to the

LOOKING TO OHIO.

ln view Of the importance of the state and the present situation sur rounding the republican candidates for the presidential nomination. the voters who go to the polls in Ohio today will make d decision which will have quite an influence on future events. The ten days stump speaking and touring of the state has strengthened wonder- tuliy the presidents cause. serving 10 eounteract the influence which has been at work there for a long time in behalf Of Roosevelt by the enemies of the president The president has set the people of his native state right on a number of the distorted claims that were made against him.
 To sit in judgment on the merits of the president and eX-president is the duty of Ohio today. How well 1t will be done depends upon the amount of thinking the people do for themselves. They have a task of great importance before them, and the eyes Of the coun- try are on the Buckeye state The campaign there has brought out that Roosevelt is prepared to bolt his party. This has been believed since before the Illinois primary. but it was in Ohio that he committed himself on the mat ter by stating that he would refuse to abide by the national committees decision 4 it should be against him. lt is the desire cf LaIoIlete thai Roosevei, say where his support unan- ciaily is coming from. and Inc any Inference IS that 1t is tla high Bretec- tionisrs who have preHted by his ore rions terms mad want him back in .ns presidential chain Roosevelt. ef course. is s'rnt on this HolHI and Ho one has hes-t him sHsaer the question as rs whether hs would rlR for a fourth terHi should ne be Successful this -Hrue He ls opposed Go a s.&-year term and no re-eiecti"H ss that in a way is am answer ts the effect that he would fl- ver staying there as long as he could. Ills attitude throughout the campaign has indicated that he is not deserving of as HueA supBsFt as he has thus far received and it is his hypnotic nis- representation, meHeE and dadging Wsieh have biazed his course.
