SOME WIS. SUGGESTIONS

Dear Editor:
Having read the numerous editorials
in the Capital-Journal, alleging that
vandalism and malicious mischief is
continually being committed by the
young men of our city. and especially
| referring TO its recent articles relative
| to the condition of the Cannon ca the
| Court House yard, | knnw that Mr..
Nipple is laboliug under q misappre-
| hension of the facts and doing the
young men of this community q great
injustice, have bad the OPP ortunity
to observe the gradual di5iutegration
Of this work of art until its fnal down
fall last Sunday, and IA assure this
guardian OF others conduct that the
young men OF the city were in no way
responsible. Pierre has as fine a set
of young men as there is in the whole
country; wherever they participate in
inter.scholastic meets, whether it be
in the field of sports or in oratorical cor
tests, they invariably return home with
honor to Pierre and credit ~ them
selves.
And what has Pierre as a city done to
courag them? 1t has at no time in
crested itself in parks, athletic fields or
recreation grounds of amy description
and diversion OF the rising generation.
A great number OF the citizens of this
city, who are 10 q position to do some
thing along that line. seem TO feel that
if they shipper around about once a year
and preach Vote Dry, for the sake of
our young men" that their solemn duty
has been performed and the young
mans welfare sufficiently looked after.
Nature has provided us with a sort Of
a park which in any other city would
be made into a real one; and to show that
| too am not assuming the position of
merely telling other people what they
should do, and feeling that | have
welded a hoe sufficiently this spring to
put in a fair days work, | stand ready
at any time to maize n of q small army
to invade this cluster of trees and weeds
on the river bank in an attempt to make
it at least approachable.
The sooner that Pierre gives some at
tention to those little things hat make
a city liveable, stop playing %favorites
and begins to show some symptoms OF
becoming imbued with the spirit OF
" All for Pierre and Pierre for All'
that much sooner will she begin to see
the light and take her proper position
among other cities OF this great
State.
So far as the Cannons referred to are
concerned, they r a huge joke any.
way, and were they not marring the
beauty OF the Court House yard, they
would undoubtedly be grazing the TOP
of some junk pile.

A SUMMER RESORT

Residents of eastern Sully county
have been assisting the state game
warden to assist them in securing a
outing place by the location
of a dam on Medicine creek at a point
where a good sized lake can be form
ed. In such cases the expense must
be borne by these interested, but they
desire to learn What is necessary to
act. Along this line Warden Hedrick
neer's department have gone to the
location to find if the plan is feasible.
and if so what will be necessary to
create a new hunting and fishing To-
cation for this part of the state.

preciative audience greeted the per.

The excellence of the play and the

theater full of relatives and friends and
the presence of the junior and part of
the senior classes in the boxes and first

the spirit of the occasion distinctly of

PAWNEES VS. CORINTHIANS.

All roads will lead to Traut's Park Sunday afternoon when the strong all-colored Corinthian football team of Hartford will meet the Pawnees.
 The Corinthians are coming to New Britain with one of the best colored teams that there is in this state, hav- ing been defeated but once this sea- son, having a better team this season than they did last year when they appeared here and played the Paw nees one of the cleanest and hardest fought games of the season and all who attend Sunday are assured of a good fast game of football. The kick-o will be at 2:45 o'clock with Danny Fitzpatrick as referee.
 The Pawness will hold practice Sunday morning and all members of the team should be on hand not later than 10 o'clock.

MUNCHED PEANUTS.
 FIRED FROM SQUAD
Penn Coaches Hear Suspended Full backs Explanation, But He Is
 Refused Reinstatement.

Philadelphia, Nov. 24.-Dr. Carl Williams gave the Pennsylvania team its final scrimmage yesterday before the Cornell game on Thanksgiving, and today will see the last practice on Franklin Field before the big game. The varsity squad of twenty five men will leave for the White marsh Valley Country Club Monday morning and will remain there until the morning of the game. The scrim- mage yesterday afternoon was not especially encouraging, but this was probably due to two reasons The first was that the scrub team dis banded for the season at the close of the practice and they gave evrything they had in order to keep up the l custom of outplaying the varsity on the last scrimmage of each season. The other reason was that the field was so wet and slippery that the regulars experienced great difficulty in working out their new plays effec- lively.
 The varsity backfie1d for the great CT part of the scrimmage was com- 1 posed of Rockefeller and Derr, at halfbacks; Ross, fulback and Bell at 1 quarter Loucks took Bells place for 1 only about a third of the total time, and this was taken to mean that Dr. Williams has decided that the lat ter's bunting is more valuable to the team than Loucks' all around, bet ter playing. Williams, the regular fullback, has not been up to the mark lately and had a rest today.
 Several prominent alumni have brought great pressure to bear on the board of coaches to get Quigley reinstated on the varsity squad. It
 was found that the only evidence the
 coaches have that big fullback
 broke training was that he was seen
 eating peanuts the morning of the <, Michigan game. Quig1ey declares

For 1916,

With the big Trio vanished to the last man next fall, Haughton may de- eide to try and build up another set by starting with Enwright and Casey both of whom in Prep school play were rated as high as Mahan or Brickley Through injuries and class room deficiency Enwright was a big disappointment this last season. but he may come into his own next fall. And those who should know say Casey will be close to another Mahan.

The Harvard Trio.

Brickley and Hardwick passed year ago. Mahan's rule is over this fading autumn. He was the last, and possibly the greatest, of the three, but they were all so well matched Tor team value that it would be hard to rate any one above the other.
 In 1912, Brickley and Hardwick were without Mahan. In 1915, Mahan was without Brickley and Hardwick They were together through 1913 and 1914 and thev made a football team without any other help.

Different Values.

Of the three Tacks Hardwick was the more versatile. While not as brilliant a luminary at any job as either Brick1ey or Mahan, he had wider range. Hardwick was a fine back and a star end. He was a good kicker and a first class man running with the ball. But above either Brickley or Mahan he was a mighty blocker and tackler, and one of the g1 eatest interferers that ever came on a field.
