CITY WILL have
SKATING RINK
Location Has Been Secured and Actu.
nj Work VIII Begin Friday

Business men interested in the pro-
ject of a municipal skating rink for
Miller have been successful in secur-
ing an ideal location for the rink.
o. II. Flick, who is at the head of the
movement, was instrumental in Sc
curing the property about two blocks
north of the High School, owned by
Thomas Grant. The first of the week
the plot was surveyed by Dean Camp
bell and the ground cleared for the
actual work.
Tomorrow Fred Hare and Hans
Lorenz will furnish teams to pillow VI
the ground and Pete Anderson will
use n OF the large county scrapers
on ii. Mr.. Flick. B. o. Damberg and a
large crew Of high school boys will
also be on the job.
With 90 coed a crew uf workmen,
it is fully expected that the ground
will be ready for the actual fioodins
on Saturday.
The municipal skating rink will full
a long-felt need in this community.
For a good many years there has been
no easily accessible skating rink pond,
and skating has become almost a lost
art. Aside from the sport of il, skat.
ing is good healthy exercise, and We
venture to say there will. not be a
more popular amusement place in the
city.

CLARK LOSES TO
MILLER II TO 0
Locals Finish season With A Win
Over One Of Strongest Teams
In the State

Miller's 1923 football season closed
today when the local warriors took
the field against the strong Clark team
and overwhelmed them by a or
q to 0. The game was not nearly az
as the score would indicate,
as Miller was forced to fight for every
gain.
Miller's schedule this year included
eight games, the locals winning four
and losing four for an average OF 500
Considering the fact that the team was
composed mostly of green men when
the season opened, their performance
on the gridiron is commendable.
Clark won the toss and chose to Ge-
fend the south goal. kicking Off 10

until within 20 yards Of the goal when
they lost the ball on a tumble.

to punt, Miller again going down the
field and was in possession of the bali

a desperate effort to score in the final
quarter and made several first downs

downs when the game became critical
BY comparison. Miller's victory over
Clark gives them a strong team.
Clark has played tie games, with
and Aberdeen, and has &c
feated both Brookings and Huron.
The Miller team showed more good
today than in any game
played this year and it would be
to pick an individual star, and
the credit of winning should go to the
eleven men who kept up the battle.
