The Sioux Falls Press. says of the
visitors to Brookings last Saturday:
THAT Sioux Falls was interested in
the events of the day was evidenced
by the number of local business men
who laid aside work for the day and
made the trip to Brookings in autos
to take in the game and see the other
attractions. Fully As auto loads con
tanning nearly 200 people left Sioux
Falls yesterday morning to return last
evening all reporting the trip well
worth while"
Not to be outdone by the students of
Brookings college in their Hobo Day
demonstration the majority of the live
wires among the boys at the high
school attired themselves in regulation
hobo style and attended the morning
session yesterday. While the food
gathering ceremonies were omitted
from the program the boys carried out
the i~mpersonation with many a limp
and an abundance Of road slang much
to the amusement of the other stu
dents about the building.-Sioux Falls
Press.
Walter Fairchild left for Bookings
the first of the week to take a course
in agriculture in the State College. in
preparation to take care of the large
stock farms of his father. In talking
with a farmer last week he gave us
this experience with two of his boys
who had grown up on the farm. The
boys had become Somewhat dissatis-
fed with farm life, and had aspirations
to get into something different. One of
the boys went off to the state school
and took an agricultural course and
took the commercial course. Both
boys have returned to the farm well
satisfied that it is the work they want
to follow, thOl gh the young fellow who
took the commercial course has had
several apparently good offers of posi-
tons in business Offices but he declares
he can do better on the farm.-Mil-
bank Herald-Advocate.
A great bonfire, songs, university
cheers, %serpehtine and enthusiastic
speeches marked the celebration last
Saturday night of the football victory
Of the University over State College,
says a Vermillion dispatch. The
.dopesters had predicted a close score
from the showing the aggies have
made this season and the kilograms
detailing the plays Of the game which
were received at the opera house in
the afternoon told the story of a hard
fought contest. The fine defensive
work of the Coyotes at the critical mo-
ments in the game which kept the
State College team from scoring show
ed that in that department of the game
the South Dakota squad deserved the
praise it has received this season. In
carrying the ball the backs were also
there and will be there at the great
game at Sioux Falls next Saturday
with the University of North Dakota.
According to the Watertown Public
opinion the largest crowd from Water
town that ever visited a neighboring
city was in B~rookings last Saturday.
The Public Opinion says: Led by a
hobo band of eleven musicians from
the Fourth Regiment band, Water
towns delegation numbered over 200.
Nearly half of this number made the
trip on the morning Northwestern pas
senger while the others left by auto
mobile. Watertown badges were taken
along and half an hour after the train
arrived in Brookings everyone from
Watertown was marked and could be
easily distinguished from the others.
Practically every Watertown auto was
marked as well, several having the
date of the North Dakota-Solth Da-
kota game on cloth %pennants. Three
automobiles, driven by II. S. Fletcher,
J. w. Dougherty and George Hauen-
stein gathered up the members Of the
band and left for Brookings shortly
after 7 o'clock in the morning. Mr..
