TOMORROW'S GAME
Sioux Falls Newspaper Comments on
Football Game.

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: With
the receipt of word that Madison has
a strong team and that they are COM
ing here determined to beat Sioux
Falls, the local team has redoubled
its sfforts to perfect its own lineup.
The fans are promised a battle royal
not only because this is the last
chance Sioux Falls has to any claim
on the state title, but because Mad
ison is one of their chief rivals.
The local boys have shown up bet
ter in practice this week than they
have all year. Their line and inter-
ference which have been the weak
points, have both been strengthened.
Much time has also been given over
to tackling and ii will be a much
stronger team which goes onto the
field Saturday at 3 o'clock, than has
represented the school this year.
I'm any cas- the game with Mad
ison here Saturday will not be a rope
tition of those with Brookings and
WATERFOWL" said Coach Stewart this
afternoon. Both Dwight and Bergh
are back in the line and the whole
team is on edge for the struggle that
gives the only chance to wipe out the
previous defeats"
Tonight the team entered upon its
last scrimmage before the game Sat
urday.

State has a back field without peer

ming or smashing game. Miller and
Hanson seem to have the call at end
positions. and show up strongest on
the defense, since no team has thus
far been able to make consistent
gains through them.
The lanky tackles, Johnson and
Weber, have been superior players
in both offensive and defensive style.
Stevens and Nelson as guards and

Is a vluable man for shifting to either
guard or center. Mccoy, Jennings,
Laxon, Lanpher and Houghton are
strong second string men who always
are good for substantial gains when
needed.
The athletic association Is prepar-
ing for record attendance at the Ham
line and succeeding games. In two
afternoons the boys erected a new
grandstand which will increase the
seating capacity by 1900. The new
structure is on the north side of the
field facing the old grandstand,
which was o%utgrown two years ago.
A large attendance is expected from
the surrounding country by train
and auto. 1t is understood that the
travelling men of the state plan to tie
here on Robo Day, Nov. IA, with a
full representation, to help support
States team against the University
of North Dakota.

FOOTBALL TITLE
BROOKINGS COLLEGE EXPECTS
TO BE CHAMPIONS OF
SOUTH DAKOTA.

Bookings, Oct. 30.-Secret prac-
tice three nights each week is now
i'm vogue at State college in prepare
played on the local field: Hamline,
Oct. 81; Huron, Nov. Z, and North
Dakota university, Nov. IA. The en-
tire squad is going through gruelling
practice under Coach Ewing, who is
determined that Hamline shall not
repeat its victory of last year. En-
thusiasm at State runs high, for the
general feeling is that the Jack Rab-
bits are bound to win. Student mass
meetings are the order Of the day
and are putting lots of pep into the
expectant student roofing squad.
State has lost but one game during
the season, and that went to the
State university by the score of 1910
in a struggle that nearly registered a
varsity defeat. Yankton. state cham
pions in 1913, were easily humbled
by States warriors last Friday, and
is now out of the running. Huron
looks like easy picking on Nov. Z,
while the Wesleyan contest on
Thanksgiving looks good, though too
far off to be interesting.
The game with Hamline Saturday
is by no means won as yet. The
Methodists have a fast, experienced
team, expert at the new style OF
playing, and nearly a perfect scoring
machine under the leadership OF
Coach Baird. Although States team
practically is intact after the Yank-
ton game. it is fully aware of the fact
that only by consistent, heady play
ing can Hamline be defeated.

quired under the government war

levied on promissory notes and a

RAISE LESS WHEAT
President of Better Farming Asso-
citation Against Wheat Raising.

Aberdeen, Oct. 30.-In the opinion
of III. f. Patterson, superintendent of
the South Dakota Better Farming as
ISOLATION, the farmers of the north
west will do we'll to turn a deaf ear
to the suggestion that they raise
more wheat, On the ground that the
European wal will make wheat high
in price for many years to come. Mr..
Patterson does not advocate reducing
the ares of wheat, but he does urge
farmers to raise more corn, and to
raise more cattle and sheep. He
points out that recent high prices
have caused many farmers to market
their calves, and young cattle, espe-
cially she stuff, SO that the north
western farmer who goes more ex-
tensively into cattle raising is certain
of good profits for many years.
Wheat, he argues, is frequently a
a failure, while the farmer who
plants corn and who builds a silo, can
quickly convert his corn crop into
palatable cattle food when he sees a
drought is affecting it. He insists
that sheep, too, are profitable. and
urges every farmer in this section of
the northwest to keep a small flock OF
sheep at least. Concluding his state
ment, Supt. Patterson said:
"A wise man once said, Find out
what the crowd is going to do, then
do the opposite This seems good
advice relative to the increased pro-
duction of wheat. For the argument
let us suppose wheat will go higher.
With wheat at 81 a bushel and cattle
and livestock prices generally where
they are sure to go. I believe that
one will make the greatest mistake
of his life If he continues to increase
his wheat acreage. The safer way is
to put in our usual amount of wheat,
increase the acreage of pasture, hay
and corn, and increase the number of
stuff on the farm necessary to make
use of this rough feed. Today. more
than at any other time, 1t is advisable
to keep down the wheat acreage or
at least not to increase the wheat
acreage, but raise more beef cattle,
more pigs and more sheep, and IL one
feels SO disposed, to milk more cows.
This type of farming will not only
turn a profit, but will have an effect
upon our land values such as would
never come with wheat alone"
