SHOWING GREAT FORM

The State college basketball team
is hitting its championship stride and
all local fans are confident that Coach
Vests smooth working basketeers Will
carry off the pennant again this year.
The team will meet Huron college TO-
night at Huron in a return game, hav.
ing defeated Huron here earlier in the
season. State is expecting to romp
Off with the big end of the score al
though Huron has been somewhat of
a jinx to the local squad.
Saturday evening the Northern Nor
NAL Of Aberdeen, will be here with
their cage team and will meet the
Yellow and Blue at the armory, be-
ginning early, at 1880 p. M, so as to
avoid conflict with events downtown.
1t is planned to have boxing between
halves. Following the game, the I'M
defeated team of the school of agrl-
culture will battle with the Salem
high school team which has a record
of winning Is out of Is games so
far this season. Charles Culhane,
State college graduate and former 'bas-
ketball star, is the coach of the Salem
team, and his brother Alex. Culhane,
is the coach Of the Aggie team. A
battle royal may be expected.
Last week State defeated North Da-
kota State in two hard fought games
which were the fastest exhibitions of
basketball seen on the local floor in
many seasons. The scores were %
to 16 and 20 to 81, respectively, in the
Friday and Saturday evening games.
The victory in either game was uncer-
tain to the last, but Vests men
clearly outplayed the visitors in both
games.
The State men seemed to have re-
covered from their hard games in Wis
consin and are playing better basket
ball than at any other time this year
States offensive play which hit its
stride in these two games is working
in splendid fashion. All five men have
good eyes for the basket and play the
floor well.
Captain Carey and Thune are high
point men with Art Johnson giving
them a hard battle for the honors.
Willadsen and Thompson at the guard
positions are clever dribblers and
force their opponents to resort 10 long
shots. Almost all the North Dakota
shots were scored from the middle of
the floor while States offense was able
to work the ball down the floor time
after time for pointers. Refs, the fast
little forward, proved to be the star
for the visiting team. Refs would be
a good addition to any team.

Governor McMaster in speaking Of the
situation to date takes the position
that the program as outlined in his
message has been pretty well taken
care of. The cement plant plan has
been given the approval OF both
houses. The home building bill while
not yet completed is being shaped for
presentation, and most of the diff
culties which were expected along this
line have been eliminated. The sol
diers' bonus bill has not yet been pre-
scented, but the draft of the bill has
been agreed upon, and it will be ready
for presentation Immediately after the
session resumes. The highway plan
is yet one of considerable considera-
ton, and while several conferences
have been held on this the final de-
tails of what will be included have not
yet been settled, but the general idea
appears to be that of a special auto
tax to help along in this, following
to a certain extent the lines worked
out in Minnesota and Illinois.

CORELESS APPLE NEXT

DR.. n. f. Hansen Of the department
of horticulture of State college and
secretary of the State Horticultural
society, proved to be the most promi-
nent figure at the state convention of
the society recently held at Yankton.
He created widespread interest when
he told Of the progress he was max
ing in the development Of the c~oreless
and seedless apple which has been
his ambition for a long time and is
now approaching realization. He ad-
mittcd at the session OF the society
that his ideal apple without core or
seeds, which will without a doubt
revOlutioniZe the apple industry when
developed, was progressing satisfac,
toriiy to a point very near the fruition
of his great idea. According to re.
ports he also admitted that he had
a long standing ambition to produce
a genuine winter apple, a kind that
can be thrown in the bin in the fall
just as one would throw in potatoes
and in the following June take them
out and find them as good and sound
as when stored away.
Prof. F. e. Mccall of State college
was another Of the prominent speak
ers at the horticultural meeting a
Yankton. Others from Brookings OF
the program were Prof. George Gil
b%ertson, A. L. Crawford, and Prof. f
]. Petry.

TROLLEY POLE FALLS,
STRIKING AUT0ISTS
Mrs. Peck of Bristol Has
Hand Badly Crushed in
Plainville Accident.

Bristol, Sept. 30.-A trolley pole
carrying guy wires fell over on an
automobile in which were Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard S. Peck of Oakland
street, as they were driving in Plain
vile today. Mr.. Peck had a bad
scalp wound and Mrs. Peck's right
hand was crushed so that amputa-
ton of two fingers was necessary.
The trolley line runs along the
state highway. Apparently Mr. Peck
had no warning of the falling pole
which broke in the top of the ma
chine and pushed it into the gutter
Mr.. Peck is of Peck & Barnard Co.
The accident happened almost di-
rectly in front of the home of Select
man Charles H. Calor shortly after
1890 o'clock as Mr.. and Mrs. Peck
were on their way to New Britain. Mr..
Peck was driving at the time. Mrs.
Peck had her hand upon the doorway
of the car and as the pole fell, it
struck the hand, crushing it. The ac-
cident happened so suddenly, that as
Mr.. Peck turned in his seat, the pole
struck him across the head INJECTING
a deep cash over the forehead. which
bled profusely.
DR.. Lawrence II. Frost was called
and gave the injured persons medical
attention after which they were taken
to the Charter Oak hospital in Hart
ford.

EXPECTS DISCHARGE
Attorney Sexton, Representing
Klcmcns KhIkowsl<i Expects Client
VIII BE Freed.

That Klemens Kalkowski will be at
liberty in a short time is the belief
of Attorney Michael A. Sexton, former
liquor prosecutor and now repre-
senting Kalkowski on the manslaugh-
ter charge. Mr.. Sexton said this after
noon Il will be awfully surprised if
Kalkowski is not turned out next
Wednesday," They've got absolutely
nothing on him. All they have shown
to date is that Wrinkle had a frac-
tured skull, as testified to by DR.. Cos
tello.
Had this matter came up last jan
uary and the body been taken to the
alley during the winter time, then an
entirely different construction could
be placed on the matter. because
then they could have shown that there
was exposure, that the body was
frozen, and might have been able TO
show then that there was negligence,
but as the matter stands now l think
they've got a very weak case"

HARTFORD MEN LINKED BY RUMOR TO
STORIES OF ILLEGAL RUM RUNNING
Arrest of Jennings Gives
Strength of Stories About
John ]. Byrnes and INSECT
Brothers.
Especial to The Heraldl

Hartford. Sept. 30.-The linking of
the well known sporting man, Jacob
Jennings of New Britain, with the
scandal that has broken in New
Britain, has sent a number of local
men into parcxysms Of fear lest
eventually they may be connected.
Followers of harness racing about
the Atate will recall that during the
past sum mer months. Jennings has
been associated with a bookmaking
outfit, believed to be run by John j.
Byrnes of this city. others whose
names are heard in connection with
the affair are the Missett brothers.
Jake as Jennings was generally
called, and Thomas Missett were boon
companions. and it was often ex-
pressed the wonder where the men
secured their money.
Many Names Mentioned.
In New Britain the men were be-
lieved by some officials to be close
ly attached to the rum ring. Missett
was for a time connected with a
Church street place in New Britain.
He is also said to be a gambler who
has been one of the habitues of
gambling places in Hartford, New
Britain and other cities about the
state. Jennings and Missett made
their local headquarters at a saloon
on Union Place. where rumors have
it that many times loads of booze have
been carted away, without any great
effort in covering up
How much of the rumor the state
police are in a position to prove,
presumably through leads given by
Cotter, they. of course will not say.
The fact that the Richardson's are be-
ing held for the December term of
the superior court under the heaviest
bonds known considering the charge,
will give plenty of time for furthe>
developments and possibly many more
arrests
