This large but not populous State
Nevada has been undcrvalued,
Her resources few would allow,
Though many have taken her treasur-
More popular states to endow.
If robbed of her bright gold and silver
The sunshine and soil still remain
And beautiful swift flowing rivers
To irrigate valley and plain.
Nevada can boast of her rivers
That flow from the east and the
west,
For when their careering is ended,
All sink within plains on he" breast.
One beautiful lake on her border,
Lies up in the region of snow
That wonderful triumph of nature,

Lis safely confined in basin
When the lofty Sierras divide,
Far above the Paciic's broard level,
Tall pines guarding every side;

FOOTBALL PRACTICE
ON In FULL SWAY
COACH REED SATISFIED
(By Kilbourne)

With a husky bunch Of prospectives
gathered out on the football practice
field, business was very carefully at
tended to yesterday afternoon. Prac-
tice has been carried on for few az
ternoons previous to this, but not un-
Til yesterday did business really pick
up"
The boys were first put to the task
Of learning to catch punts this prov
ing to be real task for some Of them
to catch on to. Then, they were put
to falling on the rolling ball and catch
ing and throwing passes The former
seemed to be just little difficult at
the beginning, but at last they got 1t
down, and the latter was carried out
to much better extent than was ex-
pected. Next came signal and form2-
ton practice. However, this was car
ried on on a small scale. They seem
ed to know how and when to do the
most important part of this. and. too,
they worked out most pleasingly in
the clause of speed The signals We're
called out rather speedily, thereby
causing actions to be carried out more
quickly than is usual in the ordinary
training. This was done in good form.
The main trouble with them seemed
to be in fumbling the ball. They
could get to the place. catch the ball
and hold it for just a minute. Their they
would muff it. and finally would lose
it. This. of course, viii be overcome
in a short while. with more and heav-
ier practice. which will come steadily
day by day.
There are several new boys with
Chickasha this year Quite a number,
though. are last years men. and this
as may be expected, will hold up high
spirits and good fellowship among the
boys-this being an essential point tol
any body OF persons representing the
same cause. There is a large gathe~-
ing out on the field and they have, in
