neered with brick, together with two
story annex and basement, according to
plans made by J. M. Spain, of Jackson.
The proposed change will involve from
twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars
expenditure, and give the local denom-
ination one of the handsomest structures
to be found in this section Of Missis-
sippi.
A general outline Of plans and open
discussions we're made and questions
were asked and answered to the satis-
faction of all present. DR.. Martin states
that more generous spirit and enthu-
siastic reception could not have been
rendered any proposition than the ideas

tinue with the blue prints in order that

BEAT
GOPHER B TEAM

Minneapolis. Nov. 19-(P)-Brawn
and brain, each Of which functioned
we'll when the other was backward
in presenting its services, gave South
Dakota state 81 to 0 victory over
the Minnesota B team here Saturday.
It was the preliminary to the Min
nesota-Haskell Indian game.
When it couldn't crack the Gopher
forwards into yielding constant
yarda9e the Jackrabbit team went
around the ends cutting down or
evading the defending outposts and
carrying on through the secondary
defense.
Two Of the South Dakota touch
downs came from end runs two more
on offtackle shoots and fifth on
burst through guard.
Most Of the credit for the Jackrab-
bits triumph was attributed to the
broken field performances of Vert
Engleman, right halfback. who
scored two touchdowns on the three
runs which totaled Ill yards. For
his first major effort Of the day he
turned the left end for 40 yards run
ming the oval from his own 3O-yard
line to an equal distance from the
Gopher goal. Three plays later after
pair of line bucks had advanced his
lead five yards, he ran around left
end again for the first touchdown of
the game, coming in the first
quarter.

NEBRASKA HELD
BY SYRACUSE II

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 19.-(P-Ne-
braska, mighty gridiron machine of
the midwest and topnotcher in the
Big Six conference of the Missouri
Valley area, nearly met it's Waterloo
Saturday afternoon. The Pitts
burgh Panthers, crying for blood,
sneaked out from the eastern forests
to the western plains, outplayed the
Cornhuskers through 60 minutes Of
mud wallowing and gained a moral
victory over the favored Nebraskans
when scoreless tie resulted.
While 10000 Nebraska fans
braved a biting, cold wind, which set
in early in the morning after 36
hours of rain and snow and sat
dumbfounded wondering what had
become of the crushing Nebraska
team of the three previous games,
these same huskers were striving to
pierce the lighter Pitt line or elude
it's alert ends or able secondary de-
tense. Howell, touted as all-Ameri-
can fullback; Sloan, versatile half
back; Russell, the plunging quarter,
all were held by this scrappy Pitt
outfit, which emulated the Brown
"iron men" of two seasons ago by
playing through the entire game
without a substitution.
