Registration OF Men 21 Years

Stacker Rounded Up
And Sent To Army
Bonnie ouen.er Who Failed 70 Re.
spoud When Called, Arrested and
lnduetsd in the Army

Bennie Quenzer called by the
Local Board for Sioux county to
report at Fort Yates, July 26th,
and failed to respond was arrested
Sunday near Mound City, South
Dakota, where he was working for
a farmer.
Arrest was made by the sheriff
Of Campbell county at the request
Of the Sioux County Local Board.
When brought before the Local
Board at Pollock, Quenzer denied
that he was attempting to evade
military service, and expressed a
willingness to go. He explained
that the farmer hewas working for
had told him to ignore the order to
report for the reason that no men.
were to be drafted until after
harvest.
Believing that Quenzer's failure
to report was due to ignorance and
outside influence, he was provided
with induction papers and trans
portation and left Monday for Camp
Custer, Michigan, and Sioux county
will receive credit for another man
with the colors.
In the meantime charges will be
preferred against the farmer for
whom he was working. Obstruct.
ing the draft is a serious offense
under the United States,law When
a selected man is called by the
Local Board he must report or
suffer the consequences. Anyone
who advises a selected man to evade
call for mobilization is obstructins
the Selective Service Law, and in
all cases of the kind that has come
before the courts the offender has
been severely punished, where
convicted.

Football Big Success.
Dire predictions made for football
did not come true this year.
The absence of Yale, Harvard and
Princeton from eastern football took
away some of the glamour of the game
east of the Alleghenies, but generally
speaking the pigskin pastime was a
booming success, and the best posted
football critics agreed that there was
more football played last fall than
ever before.
The formation of many football
elevens in military training camps and
the impetus this move gave to indie
pendent football is pointed. to as the
reason for the great number of elevens
which were in action.
In the east the Pittsburg university
eleven was generally awarded the
strongest claim to the championship.
In the south the great Georgia Tech
eleven stood out supreme, while in the
middle west Ohio State won the con-
ference title for the second consecutive
time. Only twelve deaths were re-
corded during the football season of
1917, a smaller number than the three
years previous.
Tennis and Golf.
The action of the parent tennis and
golf bodies in calling off the cham
pionship tournaments had a depress-
ing effect in both branches of sport.
The United States National Lawn
Tennis association held patriotic tour
naments'' for the Red Cross. and many
tennis players. among them the best
in the country, played dozens of eX-
hibition matches for this fund.
The Tennis association, however, did
not give the players ranking and titles
as in the past. but voted to return to
title events and the system of ranking
the net stars next year.
Because of the cancelling of title
events in golf Chick Evans, of Chi
cago, retained the national amateur
and open championships, which he
won in 1916, and Miss Alexia Stirling
J of Atlanta, retained the women's ma
tional golf championship.
The action of the Western Golf as
ISOLATION in deciding to restore the
western amateur title event resulted in
| the winning of that title by Francis
+, Ouimet on July IA. -Ouimet defeated
Kenneth Edwards, one up, in a thirty
| siX-hole match.
