GIVES SERIES OF ADDRESSES

A plan for mental, moral and spirit
ual preparedness on the part of the
men and women OF America to help
meet the great problems which viii
confront the world in the near future
was the main theme~Of the series of
lectures given by J. St,tt Wilson, for
mer mayor of Berkeley, Cal, in Brook
ings this week. He is On a speaking
tour visiting all of the colleges in
the United States under the auspices
of the Y. NJ. c.. A. He addressed the
students at the college Tuesday and
Wednesday and on Wednesday even
ing he spoke at a union service cid
at the Methodist church. This morn
ing he gave the principal address at
the Armistice day program of the
American Legion held at the college
auditorium.
Mr.. Wilson is one Of the leading
speakers in America on religious and
social problems. Twenty years of
study. travel and l%ecturing on both
sides of the Atlantic have given him
extraordinary fitness to present his
subject to the college students Of
the country. The general theme Of
the lectures is constructive Chris
tian Democracy"
The war" he said, "is only a pre-
lude to tremendous events, terrific
word changes. which are to happen
in the worlds history. Four sets Of
problems of the most exacting char
atcer must be solved, namely, inter
racial, international, social and eco
nomic and personal. We need two
great things in these days, some very
rational social ethics and some new
metaphysics. America needs spiritual
leadership from the churches, intel
lectual leadership from the colleges,
and editorial leadership from the
press"
Through all of his lectures is the
underlying conviction that the mod
ern social struggle may be solved only
by the unsparing and fearless appli-
cation Of the teach ngs and spirit
of Christ. He attacks his subject sci.
entifcally and logically so that every
thoughtful listener is impelled to be
convinced.

MEN NAMED FOR
HARDING CABINET
LAWRENCE SAYS SENATOR KNOX
WILL BE NEW SECRETARY
OF STATE
LOWDtN WILL HAVE TREASURY POSITION
General Pershins, Senator Weeks, Will
Hays and Harry D%auoherty
Also Invited.

Philander c. Knox, United States
senator from Pennsylvania, will be
secretary of state in H%arding's cabi-
net If his health permits him to ac-
cept the Office. Senator Knox is pres
ident-eiect Harding's first choice &C.
cording to David Lawrence, special
newspaper correspondent, who is IA
miiiar with the situation.
Senator Knox is wanted for the
portfolio of secretary Of state how
ever, not because Pennsylvania gave
Harding such an overwhelming ma.
jor,ty but because Mr.. Knox more than
any other man in the world reflects the
wishes and desires of Senator Harding
on foreign policy. An irreconcilable
or bitter ender" at heart, Senator
Knox voted against the treaty and
reservations Of any kind but differed
from his colleagues in the ~irreconcil-
able group by offering constructive
suggestions for a concert Of nations
to enable America to play her part in
NV "oliu pVdNC HloNtlIltllS
Gov. Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, Is
practically certain to be the secretary
of the treasury. Senator Harding
likes Lowden and regards HIM as a
splendid man to handle the finances
OF the country. Harry Daugherty, pre-
convention manager for Senator Hard
ing will be offered the portfolio of
attorney general. II he doesn't &C.
cept 1t will be offered to Senator Fall
of New Mexico, or Senator Sutherland
Of Utah, although both of these men
are being considered for secretary of
the interior because of their knowI.
edge of the west. General Pershing
is h choice for secretary of war.
Senator J. w. Weeks of Massachusetts,.
seems to stand The best chance so far
Tor the position of secretary of the
navy. Will Hays Is the most likely
choice for postmaster general. Other
positions are more uncertain and are
not definitely spoken of by the cor.
respondent. Herbert Hoover's name
Is not mentioned for any cabinet posi-.
ton on the ground that he stirred up
the antagonism Of the farmers. For
the moment, it can be said that the
cabinet will not contain many pro
gressives but will be almost entirely
conservative.

SANDERSoN IN BIG PROJECT

Nearly thirty thousand acres of
prairie dogs have been eXterminated
in HaakOn county during the past two
years as a farm bureau project. Each
quarter section OF land will easily
maintain six steers the year around,
making the quarter worth $50 a year
as pasture. This land was worthless
when infested with the dogs, while
there is a luxuriant growth of
grass upon it. The increase in profits
will continue from year to year. Harry
NJ. Sanderson, county agent, is using
this and other demonstrations to show
the actual cash value OF the farm
bureau to Haakon county. 1t is a pleas
ure % record the e Of former
Brookings boys.

BASk ETBALL PROSPECTS

Prospects for another championship
basketball team at State college are
exceedingly bright this year. Last
year State lost only two men by gradu-
alton. Barring these two men, the
entire squad is back in force. In add.
ton there are many new men in school
who have played high class basketball
in high school or in other colleges.
Among these new men are: Art
Johnson, who played with Carey and
Lippert on the Nothern Normal team
which won the state championship in
1867; Bennett, an all-state high school
star from ~Tairbault, Mimi; Thune,
former star on the st. Olaf team. who
is expected to hold the center berth
IN the family with his brother, Lars,
last years State center; Thompson,
who played excellent basketball with
the Fort Dodge, Ia, high school team,
winning an all-state position; Petty, a
freshman from Hot Springs, and
others.
Captain Eugene Carey has been
playing end on the varsity football
team this season and is in rare shape.
The phenomenal forward has put on
a little weight and will be able 20
hold his own in that respect more
easily this season.
The team will meet some Of the
strongest CUNTS in the west this year.
1t will 90 up against the University
of Wisconsin at Madison, December
80 and 81, and Coach West is hopeful
of at least breaking even with the
cardinals.

BATTLE WITH 500
FOR STATE HONORS
BROOKiNGS HIGH PLAYS DECi-
SivE GAME WITH SIOUX
FALLS TODAY
BOTH TEAMS ARE GOING IN TO WIN
Coach Armstrong; Aggressive Boys
Are Doped to Win BY Reason Of
Weight and Speed.

Whether or not Bookings high
school will again carry off South Da-
kota championship honors in football
will be determined this afternoon at
Sioux Falls. With every man in good
fighting trim Coach Armstrong took
his band of concrete mixers to Sioux
Falls yesterday morning to give them
ample rest before the big game today
with Sioux Falls high school. The
boys are not overcontident, but they
are going into the game with a firm
idea that Bookings must win and
will stick to their colors TO the last
ditch. A good sized band of rooters
from ~Brookings will be on hand to
give the boys encouragement and sup
port. If the weather was better and
the roads were in better shape it is
likely that practically half of the town
would be down there.
Brookings will go into the game
today with the advantage Of greater
speed, weight and experience. There
is no man on the Sioux Falls team who
can run away from either Sundet or
Ryger. 1t is not likely that the 500
line will be heavy enough to stop
~Brookings. The Brookings line is
heavier and while their experience is
not so great they are real fighters.
Sioux Falls is laying great confidence
in the ability of their light backfield 10
slip away from the Brookings tacklers
by elusive methods for long runs.

BIG CLASSIC SATURDAY

A special train VIII carry the entire
student body of State college as well
as a great number Of interested citi'
zens 10 Sioux Falls next Saturday
morning, November 13, to root tor
the State college team at the big
game with the University Of South
Dakota upon which hinges the cham
pionship Of South Dakota. The large
military band and the famous girls
band will be taken on the trip. The
slogan, Beat the U" is on everyone's
tongue and with the same fine spirit
and support that was given the team
on Hobo day, there can be but little
doubt but that they will again come
out victor.
The same excitement prevails al
Vermillion as in Brookings and there
will also be a large delegation from
that school present at Sioux Falls
with a band and noisy cheerleaders.
The sting of last years defeat at the
hands Of State college still rankles
bitterly and they will do their utmost
TO wipe out the score. Those who at
tend the game may therefore expect
as keen competition between the root
ing sections as between the teams up
on the field.
A comparison of the % of the
two teams reveals little concerning
the relative strength of the two teams
except that they are very evenly
matched. State has beaten n. n. l.
S. 6 to 0, Dakota Wesleyan 6 to 0,
North Dakota Aggies 81 to Z, Ham
line IA to 0, tied Manchester 7 to 7.
and lost to the University Of North
Dakota by the close score Of 6 to 3.
The university defeated Sioux Falls
college Ga to 0, Dakota Wesleyan "a
to 0, and lost to Nebraska 90 to 0,
and was defeated by Morningside col
lege 6 to 3. Last Saturday in a game
played in deep mud they were ad'
mittedly lucky to tie North Dakota
university 7 to Z. Those who have
seen both teams play are satisfied
that State college has the stronger
team but a real battle will take place
before the final whistle blows at Sioux
Falls next Saturday.
This game is the last game on the
schedule for State college. 1t will de-
eide d~ecisively the state championship
since Yankton, the only other claim
ant, was held to a 7 to Z tie on her
own field last Saturday by the weak
Huron college team. 1t will be diff
cult for the G~reyhounds to recover
sufficiently from that set back to sue
cessfully lay claims to the state cham.
pionship.

HRMlINE Bl ED

Imbued with the Hobo day spirit
and playing the best football yet this
season. State college defeated Ham
line university on State field last Fri
day II to O.. Both teams were weak
ened by the absence OF stars due 10
injuries but every man in the game
fought gamely and gloriOusly to the
last giving the spectators as fine an
exhibition OF the American game as
has been given or State field this
year. The clean, fair playing Of both
teams brought much favorable com
ment. Penalties were rare during the
contest. The out and out superiority
of Coach Vests team gave them a
decisive victory.
The first score came in the second
period when Roberts and Thune car
ried the ball TO Hamline's S-yard line
and with a beautiful end run Roberts
covered the remaining s yards for a
touchdown. Johnson kicked goal. A
close battle was then waged until
within the last few minutes of play
when a pass from Johnson to Carey
Melted 25 yards and a touchdown in
the most sensational play of the game.
Johnson kicked goal giving State a
total of II points.
In the first quarter the game was
very even and neither goal were seri-
ously threatened except when John
son attempted to drop kick from Ham
lines 25-yard line which failed by a
narrow margin. Hamline made good
gains occasionally but were repeatedly
forced to punt. In the third quarter
they wavered about the middle OF the
field with both teams about even until
the last part of the quarter when
Roberts broke through the center for
35 yards. Thune followed with a s..
yard gain and the quarter ended with
the ball on Hamline's 1yard line.
At the opcning of the final period
Hamline held State on the 1-yard line
for downs and punted the ball into
safety. Kaplan, Hamline's lightweight
quarterback demon, and Kruger, their
fullback, began a sensational series
Of gains that seemed likely to tie the

Comical Procession.

A long parade which provoked great
choruses of laughter and applause
from the thousands of spectators who
lined Main street last Friday morning
was the great opening feature Of the
now famous student frolic of State
college known as Hobo day. With
the best of ingenuity, wit and labor
of the entire student body and faculty
displayed in this parade, which was
generally pronounced to be the best
ever given, it typifed the splendid
spirit of the whole school. 1t is also
quite generally recognized that STATE
college shows a better and more loyal
spirit than any other educational in
stitutiOn in the state. From the presi-
dent of the college, Dr.. w. Il. John

men. every part of the states great
agricultural college was represented
in the procession.
Lining up at the college at 1000
o'clock, the grotesque and comical
parade started down Eighth street ar
irving in the business section about
1890. Both sides Of the street were
thronged with people and a corps of
cadet police were kept busy keeping
the right Of way clear of traffic and
pedestrians as the parade passed by.
The Pathe moving picture man stood
at Kendalps corner busily turning the
crank photographing each detail of the
parade as it passed. Each part looked
so good that he could make no choice
