STATE COLLEGE FOOTBALL

The State College football squad
went into camp here this week. State
has previously held her camp at some
of the nearby lakes, but Coach
Ewing could not overlook the many d-
vantages offered by remaining on the
college campus this year. The SQUAD
have their training table at the col
lege boarding club and sleep dormitory
style in the gymnasium. With the aid
of States splendid sod field and cinder
track and training equipment, Ewing
expects to accomplish a great deal
more than he has ever been able to at
previous camps.
Among the old men who responded
to the camp call are Capt.-elect Nelson.
former Capt. Sheehan, Hoover, Skin
ner, Miller, Stevens, Weber, Abbott,
Laxson, Mccoy, Rudd and Jennings.
Peterson and Eidsmoe, tackles on the
1913 team, will be available also. Rowe
formerly of S. d. Z. who has been put
ting in the year of residence required
by the conference rules will be out
and should develop into a sensational
ground gamer this fall.
State appears to have taken the
lions share of the high school stars Of
the state this year. From her fresh
man class will come men who will not
only be able to displace a number Of
veterans on the football team but who
will be heard from in every branch
Of athletics. Taken altogether pros
poets are the brightest in years for
unbeaten teams in all branches and
preparations are being made so that
her teams can meet the best in the
Northwest.
The following is the State College
football schedule for 1915 and while all
arrangements are not settled for Oc-
tober % and Thanksgiving day the

some weeks ago. The Mitchell dis
patch says:
Robbers working within 125 feet of
the police station last night stole over
1000 worth of silks from the H. d.
Butterield store, the largest dry goods
establishment in Mitchell. 1t is be-
lieved that the thieves left on the
night trains, either for Sioux City or
Omaha to dispose of their loot through
fences"
Entrance to the store was made
through a hallway IN the second floor.
An opening was whitfield out in a door
and the door unlocked. The robbers
descended to the first floor and carried
the larger portion of the silk stock
upstairs, where it was sorted owe and
only the best quality of goods taken.
-Four suit cases were taken from the
stock and filled with the goods. No
attempt was made to carry off bulky
articles, such as furs and coats.
1t is believed that the robbers made
their escape by walking down the hall
way to the street. and passing many
people.
The robbery was not discovered
until this morning.

to the squad if he was able to do so.
Coach Evans of Springfield training
school will have charge at Huron Col.
lege. Mr.. Evans should be thoroughly
competent and he and Capt. Dickey
should turn out a much better team
than last year. In Meigel and Wick,
Huron lost two clean splendid fighters
who will be hard to replace. With bet
ter directed fight and pep Huron will
have TO be respected by the colleges
of the state.
Northern Normal are planning on a
good team under l.. r. Brown of S. ID.
U. With the aid of a few more men of
Bosley's caliber they will be heard
from this season.
The Sioux Falls Baptists will have a
new man at the head of their athletics
this fall and should have a much better
team than last year.
The Miners at Rapid City while so
far west as to place their logical OPP
ponents in Wyoming and Montana, will
meet Yankton in Rapid City this year
which will afford a chance for compari-
son with the teams in the eastern part
of the state. The Miners will have a
new director and will have some fine
material if all reports are true.
Redfeld College and Madison Nor
maj while handicapped by lack of men
should have teams on a par with any
team turned out by them in recent
years.
In high school athletics interest was
aroused by the return of Howard Wood
to Sioux Falls high after two years at
N. d. A. c. A large number of fans
look for the return of the high school
supremacy to Sioux Falls with the re-
turn of Coach Woods.
