Creighton Games
Draw Big Crowds
Armory Packed With $500
Fans; State Loses Both
Contesrs to Fast Hilltop
per Quintet.

The largest crowd of basketball fans
witness q game in this state were pres
ent last Thursday evening at the col
lege armOry to witness the opening
contest between State college and
Creighton university. While the vast
majority We're roofing for State, there
was a good sized delegation Of Creigh,
ton rooters, coming for the most part
from Ellton, the home town Of two of
the leading stars on the Creighton
team, Lovely and TTautman. State
next night Coach Vests men came
back much stronger and with q de
termined fight kept the score nearly
even, the H~illtoppers winning by the
narrow margin of % to 26.
There can be no question that
Creighton has a most remarkable team
and easily the best in the conference.
Both nights they gave the spectators
a beautiful exhibition of machine-like
team work, fast and accurate floor
work along with unerring basket shoot
ing. They used the fiye-man Offensc
and the whole game seemed to be a
series of we'll planned plays.
The first evening State seemed en-.
tirely demoralized. They shot at the
basket 10 times before registering a
counter. In the second game, Carey
got away at the start with a lead OF
three points via the free throw route.
Creighton Don OyerCame that but
State held her own and the half ended
II to 10 in favor Of Creighton, At the
beginning of the half Thune tied the
score with a field goal. Creighton then
took another squirt and made it IS tc
II in their favor. State worked hard
and made it a tie again. Creighton
then swung their total up to "A and
waited for State to catch up which
they did very shortly with two lone
baskets by Carey and one by Manner
With Creighton but a few points in the
lead and the game nearly over the
~Jackrabbits did their best to garner q
victory but after innumerable tries, the
game ended with Creighton two points
ahead.

the University of South Dakota, in

college. The university will play two
return games here in March and only
in the remote possibility that they
win both Of these games, Is there any
doubt OF the security Of States title.
Interest is now conferred in the two
games with the University OF North
Dakota here this week on Friday and
Saturday nights. North Dakota uni
versity has a team that ranks higher
in many respects than the North Da-

time ago and there is no doubt but
that both games will be beautiful ex-
hibitiOns OF fast basketball. Burkman.
Brodie and Busdicker are the three
leading stars of the visiting team,

they will go to Omaha to play Creigh-

In the games at Vermillion, State
met IA recognized university basket
ball team that played a better grand
OF ball than could be expected from
their previous performances. The
two teams played neck and neck in
Doth games with the outcome in doubt

each game ended in a tie. Monday
night they were tied II and II and

High School Short
Course Proves Success

The first short curse in agriculture
at Bookings high school, given by the
agricultural instructor, Prof. w. p.
Beard. closed last Friday, a success in
every way. Although the attendance
was not large, seven young men of
the community attending, there was
nothing lacking in the interest and
work line. The boys made an inten-
sive study Of several practical lines Of
farm knowledge. 1t gave them an idea
Of the present day school curriculum
that is not generally known.
The interest of the boys IA be well
seen in the fact that they had an at
tendance record of SO per cent in spite
of the fact that several lived out quite
a distance. Those attending were
Clarence May, Eugene Carnes, Ray
mond Larson. Clifford Lane, Wallace
White, Floyd and Kenneth Leber-
knight. Several others had intended
coming but were prevented from doing
so by various circumstances.

ming at the college auditorium with
their first concert given under the aus
pices Of the Brookings Kiwanis club

the glee club, earned equal plaudits

We're sufficient to guarantee the main
tenance and operation of the skating
rink for the rest of the winter.
The program of the concert was very
we'll chosen with a variety Of chorus
numbers, soprano and baritone solos
and two harp solos. The chorus num-
bered "a voices and they struck a
handsome appearance in their evening
gowns, many gay in color. The glee

last Of which, "Vesper Hymn" by Bee
thoven, was especially beautifully rem
dered without accompaniment, Miss
Byrne Smith then sang two soprano
solos, Evening Fair Debussy; and
The Maids of CadiZ," Delibes. She
responded TO the call for an encore
with "Lindy Lou" The glee club then
gave three numbers. one by Schubert,
another by Gounod and a third by
R%eichardt, all beautiful.
Mr.. Kohler sang two solos, MacFay-
den's Crucible, and ITO the sun by
Curran. For an encore he sang Moth.
er O. Mine" Following three more
numbers by the glee club, Miss Smith
gave two instrumental solos on her
harp, that delighted the audience. AT
ter the closing number Of the program
the girls donned special Kiwanis club
caps and sang the official club song
which greatly pleased the Kiwanians
present.
Miss Hazel Rink of the department
of music, was the a~ccOmpanist and she
added a great deal to the quality OF
the program with her artistic work
The glee club is now making plans fol
a tour Of the state which they expect

Consider West as
Wisconsin Coach

The University of Wisconsin is look
ing for a head football coach and their
eyes have fallen upon Coach G. A.
West of State college, who has made a
remarkable record at this school and
in other schools where he previously
turned out championship teams. While
state college can i'll afford to lose the
services Of Coach West, it is none the
less noteworthy that a school of the
Importance of the University of Wis
cOnsin should seriously consider Sc
Letting him as their head coach. Ac-
cording to a dispatch from Madison.
Wis, Coach West is among nine men
who have been selected as the most
desirable for the position. The other
prospects include Aubrey DeVine Of
the University of Iowa, Jack Hender-
son Of California, Buck O'Neill Of Co
lumbia university, Jimmy Brader Of
Wisconsin, and Hold Ofstie Of Missis-
sippi A. d NJ. college.
Coach West is rated as one Of the
greatest quarterbacks that ever played
on a Coe college team. He turned
out two championship teams at Mason
City, Iowa, and coached successfully
at Shatuck military academy. Since
coming to State college he has turned
out two champion football teams and
won the first gridiron title Of the
North Central intercollegiate confer
ence. He also has won three basket

Watertown Boy Makes
Good in Grand Opera

Leonard Snyder, son Of Mrs. f. p.
many residents of Brookings, has
gained for himself a place among the
grand opera stars of America. He has
just returned to New York City from
an engagement with the Metropolitan
Opera company at Havana, Cuba,
where he scored one Of the most re
markable triumphs ever won by a
singer there, according to dozens of
Cuban, Spanish and American musical
critics. Havana is known to have the
best in grand opera each year Mr.
Snyder sang the leading roles with
the Metropolitan Opera company dur
ing the months engagement in that
city. His triumphs will undoubtedly
be repeated in New York. Clippings
from Havana newspapers concerning
his singing, praising his work in a su
perlative degree, would fill several col
umns.
A dramatic incident brought Mr.
Snyder into the operate limelight in
Havana early in his engagement there.
The noted tenor, Zerola, singing the
role Of Othello, became suddenly i'll
one night and abandonment of the op-
era for the time seemed to threaten.
Mr.. Snyder who was singing leading
roles of other operas, was called TO
the rescue, however, and on a mo-

Flood of Bills
In Legislature
Senate and House do Not
Harmonic; kutnewsky
Case and Impeachment
Provide Entertainment.
BY s. Travis, Special Correspondent

DA .. = 'lNNi"
to the Register.
The legislative session before the
recess, was characterized by its calm
and deliberate actions, and the further
fact that no one appeared TO be anX-
ious to start anything either in the
way OF new bills, or special discus
sions on bills which were presented.
After a week or more at home appar-
emily there was a change Of viewpoint,
especially so far as the senate was
concerned, as they started s%crapping
and stirring things as soon as they re-
turned. And in this relation it may be
noted that the usual system is for the
house to do the starting, and the sen
ate to act as a calm deliberate body
to correct the doings Of the naughty
ones on the other side. But this year
the situation is reversed. And while
the house may start something any
time, up to the present it has been the
house which was the calmly deliberat-
i've body and the senate which is in
clined to go off on a tangent.
The situation at the hospital for
feeble minded at Redfeld stirred the
senate when they voted an investiga-
ton Of the situation which the board
Of charities and corrections stated
forced them to demand the resigna-
ton of DR.. Kutnewsky. The senate
appointed a committee of investigation
to act with a house committee, but the
house turned down the whole PROPOSE
ton. But on the next day they again
took it up and joined with the senate
in the demand and appointed their
committee. This committee at once
left for Redfield to investigate the
situation, and will no doubt report
early the coming week. The house
demand was that the situation be given
a thorough airing that the session
while sitting could take any necessary
section covering the situation and cure
the same.
The lack of new bills which was APP
,arent before the recess has disap-
Deared since that time and the bills
are coming along in a rush, especially
in the senate, where the members ap-
pear to want to get up to the record
of former years. while the house had
hardly reached the hundred mark up
to Saturday evening. AS Saturday Of
this week is the last day for general
introduction of bills there will prob
ably be quite a number IL for the week.

ARLINGTON HAS BIG FIRE

Loss estimated at more thar $4,000
of which about $4,000 was covered by
insurance, resulted from a big fire at
Arlington Saturday morning when the
stock pavilion was completely destroy
ed. The blaze was first noticed about
s o'clock in the morning and gained
such rapid Roadway that for a time it
threatened to spread to the flour mill,
oil tanks and livery barn, all of which
are near. The cause of the fire is not
known but it is supposed that 1t re-
suited from some defect in the heating
system. The pavilion is used for
dancing and there had been a fire in
the heating plant the night before to
heat the building for a dance. In addi-
