NGOSTURA IRRIGATION
PROJECT Is APPROX

That the long projected Angostura
reclamation proiyct, calculated to mean
so much to the southern Black Hills
around Buffalo Gap and on the Chey-
enne river, is a reality is indicated in
the following message received Wednes-
day by the Secretary of the Custer Com
mercial Club from Congressman Harry
L. Candy:
Secretary Lane today approved the
contract between the State of South Da-
kota and the reclamation service for a
complete survey and report of the pro-
posed Angostura irrigation project by
the reclamation service at cost of
$40, 900, half of which will be paid by
the state and the other half by the SER
vice. 1t is expected that the survey
will be completed during the coming
summer.

BAD WEATHER HALTS
LOCAL BALL SQUADS
Enforced LayI0f Has Caused Many
Teams to Practice Indoors.

Jupiter Pluvius and other kindred ele-
ments not conductive to outdoor prac-
tice, enforced a period of idleness upon
all local collegiate and scholastic base
ball squads for the past two days.
Out on the Hilltop Georgetown's squad
under Coach John o'Reilly had taken ad-
vantage OF the excellent weather that
had prevailed the greater part Of last
week and as a result the Blue and Gray
are perhaps farther advanced
in their training that any other one of
the local teams. The rain and snow of
the last two days. while II made outdoor
practice impossible. will hardly set the
Hflltoppers back, for the very good rea-
son that Ryan Gymnasium has been re-
sorted to.
Coach Charlie Moran's Brooklanders are
perhaps the hardest hit of all, the team
being without a gym and necessarily
Inasmuch as a week intervenes between
now and their first scheduled gace and
the squad has been out for several days,
Moran believes that he will have them In
tair condition by the time of the first
game-that with Mt. St. Joseph's, on
March "a.
The enforced lay-off will not materially
AFFECT the high school squads, for the
reason that the inter-high games are not
sceduled to take place until the latter
part of April. Several OF the independent
clubs and teams of various amateur cir
cults around the city have been out upon
several occasions and in the majority of
cases their practice will not be resumed
until better weather conditions prevail.

YOUTHS TOO FRIVOLOUS
in U. S., PASTOR AYERS
Rev. Dr.. Montgomery Addresses Ken
tucky State Association.

Warning that the present is no hour
for criticism of rubber-necking into
the past. but one in which all party
ties should be obliterated and every
other question sidetracked to the i'm
perative need in the country for both
a moral and spiritual preparedness.
Rev. James Shera Montgomery. pastor
of the Cavalry Methodist Episcopal
Church. last night at the Ebitt stirred
the members of the Kentucky State
Association to a high height of pa
triotism.
Our American youths" he said
ARE too frivolous. Unlike the lads of
France. Russia and Belgium, who have
learned only too soon the lessons OF
unselfshness and self-sacrifice, boys in
the United States are grieving rather
about their fathers buying eight cylin-
der instead of six-cylinder automobiles
than thinking about the welfare of
their country. They are too concerned
over trying to keep up with the
Joneses"
My heart goes out to the men in
the trenches. l do not fear one hun
dredth as much about their future
welfare as do about those right here
in my own nation who are fondled in
the lap of luxury.

STARS OF EAST WILL
ENTER PENN CARNIVAL

Philadelphia, March H-With the sea-
son virtually on its last legs all eyes now
are turned toward the twenty-third an
nual relay race carnival to be held or
Franklin Field on the last Friday and
Saturday OF next month. Pennsylvania s
great carnival has become the one classic
track and field meet of America For
several years now 1t has attracted 4
majority of the collegiate and scholastic
teams OF the United States. More than
seventy college teams have already sent
in their names, while the number of
school teams is crawling steadily to the
200 mark. Reports from all over the
country indicate that the teams that will
come here next month will be up to the
very high standard Of American inter-
collegiate sport.
Harvard and Princeton have made the
best showing in the mile race during
the winter. Harvard's great victory in
the Meadowbrook games on Saturday
night when II won the one-mile indoor
championship in 3 minutes 36 seconds.
only 2-5 second behind the record. will
make it favorite for the outdoor event.
The West will this year be very strong
ly represented in this event, with Chicago
and Missouri bringing on the fastest
teams. Kansas, Illinois and Wisconsin
also are hoping to have fast quartets-
while Michigan feels that it will have
a team equal to coming close to the
present figures.
Special Importance Is attached to this
race this year because OF the donation of
the Mike Murphy Challenge Cup. All
of the colleges will be eager to get
the first leg on this solid silver trophy.
