ANNAPOLIS. Md, November liam
dicapped by injuries to several OF their
regulars as the result Of the game
against Gettysburg last Tuesday, Ford
ham College foot ball team of New
York went down to defeat before the
Annapolis midshipmen here this after
noon by the score of II to 0.
The Middies played a slashing good
game, particularly in the first half, in
which all of the scoring was done, but
at that the contest did not serve the
purpose of as great a test of the Navy's
strength as had been anticipated. On
the contrary. the work of the New
Workers was, on the whole, rather
listless. Their defense was especially
weak, and the Navy's backs found lit
tie difficulty in smashing through the
tackles for substantial gains, and skirt
ing the ends with even greater success.
Nor were they able to get much con-
certed action out of their attack. rms
latter weakness probably was due 10
the team being in a patched-up condl-
tion, for although Dave Dunn, the
crack halfback, and one or two other
cripples started the fray, they were
far from being in condition to do any
thing like their best work.

the demand is yet kept up. The amount
of dairy products which have been
shipped out Of the Stanley county
country the past year is estimated to
have brought greater returns than
did the old time beef shipments, but
1t does not look so spectacular as did
the old range work, and not so much
noise is made about 1t. With the ad
ditions of stock brought in this spring
1t is practically certain that the ship
ments for this year will be far in ad.
of those of last year, and the
returns to the farmers increased over
what they secured last year. One OF
the features of the situation Is the pos.

GIVEN A HARD JOLT

The municipal saloon idea, which
has been so much discussed in the
public press lately, was given a hard
jolt when the anti-saloon league gave
out the results of an investigation just
completed Of the only so-called NUM-
cipal saloon in this state, the one at
S%isseton. r. N. Holsaple, superintend'
ent of the state a%nti-saloon league, has
from the first opposed the idea, hold
ing that while it is bad enough for a
few individuals to run saloons and
thereby assume the responsibility TO.
the evils resulting therefrom, it is in
finitely worse to compel all the citi.
zens of q town to become saloon keep
ers by having the city operate the
thirst parlors. Lauritz Miller, attor.
ney for the league. gives out an opin,
ion holding that such a saloon is illegal
and could be closed by process of law.

TO Be HELD At BROOMNGS MAY 9TH
Under Auspices Of the State College
Athletic Board-AthIetes Will be
Entertained While Here.

Judging from the large number OF
inquiries coming to Athletic Council
Chairman Caldwell from the high
schools of the state, the tenth annual
high school meet to be held at the
State College field, May s, will far
outclass those held formerly in South
Dakota, says the Collegian. More
entries are already recorded from
smaller high schools than last year
and all of the schools of larger cali
Der are sending strong delegations.
The large loving cup to be given as
permanent possession to the winning
team is here and is a trophy of which
any team might be justly proud to
take home with them. In addition to
this the winners hold for one year the
three year cup which last year went
to the Brookings high school.
Everything possible is being done
by the local management to make the
meet a ucces The track is in the
very finest condition. 1t has been re-
graded this spring, rolled compactly,
and with the cinder straight-away, is
first class. A new vaulting and jump
ing pit has been added for the benefit
of the men competing in the field
events.
The delegations will be met at the
trains the evening before the meet
and upon the day of the meet by
automobile and will be taken to their
rooms which have already been pro.
vided.
At State field each team will be as.
signed a tent for use during the meet.
State College will be thrown open to
the visitors and they will be made to
feel completely at home. In the even
ing the s. d. s. C. Monogram Club
will give a ball in honor of the ath.
letes in the college armory. They are
sending out invitations this week. The
College Y. M. c. A. is planning a big
reception for high school men in the
evening of the meet in their up-to-
date parlors in Central building. The
special committee on automobiles will
take the athletes on a tour about the
college and city as a part of the en-
tertainment and a parade of the var

The meet is attracting attention
from many training camps and strong
delegations are expected to compete
for the trophies and medals.

1900 NEXT YEAR

This weeks Collegian, student pub
LEGATION of the State College, gives the
following predictions for next year:
Every indication points to a banner
year for State College for next years
term. The present feeling of co-opera.
ton and harmony between the college
departments and among the faculty
and students augurs well for our
future success. The little friction
over petty jealousies and feelings"
has been put into the discard. All
have now a serious and praiseworthy
interest in a greater S. D. S. c. Our
class spirit, although the very keen.
est, has for it's end college spirit. And
the s. d. S. c. people in general have
at heart the development of the insti'
tuition greater than ever before.
One of the greatest as cts to an in.
stitution is the good will of its stu.
dents and faculty. And the greatest
sign Of growth is the number and
quality of the people enrolled. Let's
make our slogan: 1900 next year"
We can have 1000 on the campus at
one time If we get busy.
Some of the students from the same
community have organized into boost
er clubs to join with the college ad.
vertisers in telling the people of the
state about their State College. These
clubs can do an appreciate amount OF
boosting for the college. The Miller
high school is to be congratulated
upon being the first high school to
start this movement.
They are already on the job and are
planning great things for next year.

COLONEL cRIGseY READY

Colonel Melvin Grigsby of Sioux
Falls, sent the following telegram to
President Wilson:
ITO His Excellency, the President of
the United States-Sir: Should the
present difficulty with Mexico result
in the necessity for a call for volun-
teers, a brigade of three full regiments
of western cowboys, organized under
regulations similar to those which pro-
vided the three cowboy regiments for
the Spanish war, would undoubtedly
prove to be the most s~erviceable men
that could be secured on short notice
for immediate service. I tender my
services in this connection. I have
the honor to be your obedient servant,
Melvin Grigsby."
When the act of congress providing
for volunteers for the Spanish war was
pending in the spring of 1898, Colonel
Grigsby went to Washington and Sc
cured an amendment to the bill which
provided for the three regiments of
cowboys to be enlisted from the nation
at large, the officers to be appointed by
the president. Largely on account Of
Colonel G~rigsby's service in this con-
nection President Mckinley appoint
ed him to command one Of the regi-
ments. His territory embraced the
two Dakotas, Nebraska and Montana.
He secured the muster Of twelve
troops in seventeen days.
Colonel Grigsby now feels that II
war shall be declared with Aexico he
could organize a full brigad. Of three
regiments inside Of thirty days.

in his suit of $40, 900 for damages for
personal injuries. The jury reported

received by the boy. who is Is years
old. when he fell from a wagon on
March 29, 1913, and broke his left arm.
1t is alleged that the accident was
caused by a depression in the road,

Last September, six months after the
accident, the boy had typhoid fever
and an attack of ~infantile paralysis,
and is now said to be permanently in.

Among other things he said: "A young

representatives Of these three coun.
'sries proposed to President Wilson an
arrangement for the arbitration of the

arrived at.
In the meantime this country is 60.
ing forward with it's preparations for
war, and these operations will mo-
cease until the Mexican situation ia
cleared up, n way or the other. Prac.
tically every American warship is in
Mexican waters or headed for there.
and the first move should war come
will be to bottle up every Mexican
seaport. The army was given the
word to move before mediation was
proposed and 5000 soldiers were
taken to Vera Cruz from Galveston.
Other regiments will follow and others
will be concentrated on the Mexican
border.
The United States is still sitting
tight at Vera Cruz and will continue
to hold the city. Martial law has
been declared and the city
Is In charge of the United States. The
Stars and Stripes we're raised over the
city. The army will relieve the navy
at that point, leaving the sailors and
marines for duty elsewhere.
The attitude of the rebels, particu.
larly General Villa, remains friendly
to the United States and there appears
no likelihood Of their joining with
Huerta.
The reports of the killing and mis-.
treatment of American citizens in
Mexico appears to have been exagger.
ated, and practically every American
has gotten out Of the country. There
was some anti-American demonstra-
tions and some American property de-
stroyed, but 1t appears that no citi-
zens of this country were seriously
injured.

BROOK|NGS HIGH
BEATS WATERFOWL
IN DUAL TRACK MEET AT FAIR
GROUNDS LAST SATURDAY
AFTERNOON
BROOMNGS BOYS SCORE EASY VICTORY
Running up Eighty.twc Points to Op-
ponents' Thirty, Taking Both Places
In Seven Of Fourteen Events

fhe Watertown and Brookings high
school track teams staged a track
meet at the fair grounds Satur.
day afternoon. Brookings was an
easy winner, the home boys running
up so points to 80 for their opponents.
The local athletes took both places in
seven out Of the fourteen events, while
Watertown cleaned up in but one
event.
The day was ideal, being warm with
little wind, and the track was in fair
ly good condition, although a heavy
rain had fallen the previous day. A
good sized crowd was out to see the
fun.
The Brookings boys took the lead on
the first event and were never headed,
increasing their lead with nearly every
event. The Watertown boys worked
hard, but it was evident that they lack
ed training and ability. OF nerve and
pluck they had plenty and forced the
local boys to work for every point.
This was the first real try-out the
local team has had, and the result
makes things look rosy for boys in the
state meet to be held at the college
next week. Coach Dillon, with the as
sistance of Mr.. Anderson, has the
boys working in fine shape and they
should come very close to taking the
meet.
