SERIOUS ACCIDENTS
NOT ON PROGRAM.

SAN
No serious accidents married the
program of races yesterday after
noon at Hitchcock park. The spec
tators, however, were given a thrill
when Markham and Dresselhuys, in
the sepcial motorcycle race, had a
collision. Markham was thrown sew
eral feet from the machine, but no
injuries were sustained. After some
adjustments to their machines, the
race vas started and finished without
mishap.
The racers had considerable tire
trouble, and frequent changes were
made. The short turns on the park
speedway is especially severe on the
tires on the !argersheavy cars.
The arrest of Floyd Willard, owner
of the winning Ford car yesterday
afternoon, was one of the incidents
o fthe day. Willard engaged in an
alteration with the judges of the
races whe ntheir timing of the one
mile event did not correspond with
his own.
The argument threatened to make
a disturbance and Chief Wood NTH
arrested Willard and brought him te
the police station. The excitment
caused by the alteration and arrest
brought the crowd of spectators ovel
the tracks, but no one was injured
as there were no racing cars on the
course t

PERISHO HEADS
A COLLEGE
DEAN OF ARTS AND SCIENCES AT
UNIVERSITY Is ELECTED
SUCCESSOR OF SLAGLE
AT BROOKINGS.

Sioux Falls, s. D.-lEllwood Chap
ell Perisho, dean of the department
of arts and sciences at the university
of South Dakota, was elected presid-
ent of the state college at %Brookings
yesterday by the board of regents
which was in session at Bookings.
Dean Perisho, who was in Sioux
Falls yesterday. did not know of his
election until informed by a reporter.
Il am greatly surprised" said the
dean when informed of his election.
II did not know anything about it.
/ can make no statement as it is all
very new to me-" The dean was
soon the center of a group of friends
who had heard the news of his cleo
ton and hurried to congratulate
him.
On every hand were heard express
sions of approval of the boards ac-
ton in placing Perisho at the head of
the college, many declaring that it
was the best selection the board
could possibly have made.
Dick Lyons of Vermillion who has
observed Perisho's work at the state
university, vas enthusiastic over the
election. In speaking OF it he said:
Having been deeply interested in
the upbuilding of agriculture in our
state for a number of years, l have
discussed with a large number of
men in the state largely interested
in farm lands and better farming the
matter of the selection of a president
for the state college and have found
the sentiment to prevail quite gen
orally that the appointment of Dean
Perisho as the president of the agri-
cultural college was the wisest APP
pointmcnt which could possibly be
made. The impression seems to pre-
vail that one of the needs of the in
%stitution has been ~popularizing and
bringing it closer to and in coiopera-
ton with the farmers of the state.
The belief seems to generally prvail
that Dean Perishos better than any
other man available, can accomplish
this purpose"
Dean Perisho came to the univer-
sity of South Dakota from Platts-
Vile, Wis, where he had been in
structor in the state school. He be-
came state geologist of South Dakota
and was later placed iii charge of
the college of arts and sciences. The
vacancy in the presidency of the
state college was caused by the
election of President Slagle to head
the state university.
