CROWDS HEAR MCCORMACK

Last Friday evening was a red let
ter day in the history of the state as
far as musical circles are concerned,
as John Mccormack sang in Sioux
Falls. The drive from here to there
was only a small matter for the large
number who wanted to hear the great
tenor. And after they got there some
of them had to sit on the stage in or
der to be accommodated with a seat.
Everyone pays the highest tribute
to his marvellous voice, and they will
always remember the pathos and feel
ing that went into each word and line.
The accompanying artists were of the
first order and the entire program was
a feast If pleasure to the packed
house.

BROOK|NGS HIGH
DEFEATS PIERRE
OUR HIGH SCHOOL TEAM SHOWS
THAT THEY ARE STILL PLAY.
ING CHAMPIONSHIP BALL
SCORE OF 40 TO I IS FINE SHOWING
State Academy Of Science Hold Their
Initial Meeting At State College
College Last Week

Last Saturday Brookings defeated
Pierre 40-7. The weather was ideal
and Haroldson. Swift, Simonson, Cap
tain Bacon and Ryger were the stars.
The game was called at 2:3O. Cap
tain Bacon o the toss and chose to
defend the east goal. Pierre kicked
off to Bookings and the home boys
were held and were forced to punt on
the fourth down. Pierre Immediately
found out that the game could not
be won by line smashes or around end,
so open plays were resorted to-. Pierre
kept this up during the entire game.
%Brookings scored the first touch
down during the first few minutes of
play. After trying some line smashes
and end runs, Ryger passed to Swift
which resulted in the touchdown. An
derson kicked goal. Pierre chose to
receive the ball and scored a touch
down on the first play by a long and
we'll executed forward pass.
The B%rookings boys found out that
the game could not be won without
buckling down to hard playing. The
first half was over after Brookings
added two more touchdowns, making
the score 30.
Both teams started the second half
with more fight than before. After
a minute Of play SimOnsOn and John
son blocked a pass. Bacon picked up
the ball and ran for a touchdown.
Bookings added two more touch
downs while the Westerners were un-
able to score during the entire last
half.
For Pierre, Holland, Sullivan and
Hengel played the best game. Hol-
land played tackle, but was kept back
of the line most of the time passing
the ball.
The entire Brookings team played
hard and consistent. Johnson and
Corbin we're handicapped on account
of injuries received during the weeks
practice. ANDY" on right end was
a credit to the team. Sundet at left
guard is a conner and will be watched
by spectators in Saturdays game.
The day was not over when the
whistle blew at the end of the last
quarter. The domestic science girls
under the direction of Miss Gregory
gave both teams a royal banquet.
Here both teams got together and had
IA good time. Superintendent Hargis
was present and gave a toast Of well
come to the Pierre boys. Coach Mel
son acted as POSTMASTER and several
Of the boys from both teams were
given a chance to express themselves.
Coach Dittemore also responded and
expressed himself that he was entire
ly satisfied that they had been beaten
by a better team.
The banquet proved a great credit
to Miss Gregory and the domestic sci
ence girls.

FUR FROM RABBITS.

The war has tnterfered with IN.
portations Of rabbit or cony fur from
Europe and Australia to such IN ex-
tent that both hatters' fur and cony
have risen materially in price. Never
theless, furriers seem to have made
little attempt to find or utilize q home
supply. Many. 1t is said. think tnar
cony Is exclusively a foreign pro-
duct and that American grown rab-
bits have inferior pelts of little value.
As a matter Of fact, American breed
ers are raising the same kind of
rabbits that produce the best cory
Of the fur shops. The climate here
Is as favorable for the production OF
good fur as in Europe. and IL Amer1-
can rabmit skins are of poor quality

and not climate or breed.
It 10 certain that as valuable rabbit
fur a be produced in America as
elsewhere. Probably the quality OF
the pelts IAN be greatly improved by
%selective breeding. The Important
thing is to induce the fur trade to rec
ognize the Importance of tho domess1c
supply and to establish a market for
the skins with well-understood stan
dards of preparing and handling. A
cooperative plan for exhibiting good
dressed skins to the trade should, II
is said. aid breeders to accomplish
their object.
