The state university team played a
tie game, 0 to O., with the University
of Nebraska last Saturday. This
makes the State College team look
pretty good, as they played the uni
versity team to a standstill the pre-
vious Saturday.
We want to say one word in re-
gard to the boys who came with the
olOOhlASS lCdII anu dlSO lAC lCuii
that they were one of the finest lot of
boys which has ever visited the Uni
versity campus. Every member of the
team played an exceptionally clean
game and also a cracking good game.
If any other team in the state which
goes up again them on the gridiron
defeats them they will certainly be
aware of the fact that they have been
playing the great college game.-Ver-

J. p. Jensen left this week for Good
rich, Mimi, where he goes to take
charge of a newly organized bank, as
stated in former issues. The family
will visit a short while at Brookings
and Aberdeen, S. D., before joining
Mr.. Jensen in their new home. The
local Royal Neighbor camp rendered
Mrs. Jensen a pleasant farewell party
last Thursday afternoon, and Mr.. Jen-
sen was guest at a smoke social and
whist party Friday evening, given as
a leave-taking farewell by a few Of
his many friends here. The removal
of the Jensen family will be regret
ted by friends here, and the best
wishes for their continued success and
happiness follows them from friends
at Ivanhoe.-Ivanhoe Times.
Last week there was some excite
ment created by the report of the theft
of a horse from the pasture of Geo.
Weisel, Hidewood township. The
sheriff and deputies and others were
out hunting for the thief for four days
and Mr.. Weisel offered a reward of
$50 for the recovery of the horse. On
the fourth day a single buggy rig with
a horse behind was seen to jog along
toward the Weisel farm and a short
time after a telephone message report
ed that the lost horse had reappeared
in the pasture and all was well. There
is one unique feature of this affair and
that is that the person returning the
horse has not claimed the fat reward.
The $50 is awaiting a claimant. Now,
you may speculate on this at will

At a meeting of the commercial club
corn committee, it was decided to con,
tribute fifteen dollars to the support

intendent and to contribute thirty-ive
dollars to the B~rookings County Farm

their premiums for corn exhibits at
the discretion of their executive board.
1t was further decided to recommend
that the commercial club cooperate
with the county superintendent of
schools for the next season and aid in
offering adequate prizes for the boys

other contests as may be arranged, the
object being permanent improvement

right direction, in that it will strength.

The hazing Of the freshmen is now a
thing of the past at the State College
at Brookings. 1t is said this came
about through a conference between
President Perisho and the sophomores.
However, the agreement to abolish
hazing is said not to do away with the
restrictions formerly imposed, such as
compelling freshmen to wear green
caps, and to abstain from "fussing,"
which, we understand, is a higher edu.
cational term used to denote a gentle
man keeping company with a lady
friend. All this indicates that times
have changed. The Independent writer
