but Friday night the Colonials
will muster all their power and
open wide the throttle.
In their first big home contest
of the season they will attempt to
turn back the Golden Hurricane of
Tulsa University, surprise con-
Queror of Texas Christian.
The game will be played under the
arc lights of Griffith Stadium and will
be a bargain. Reserved seats will sell
at $1.50, general admissions at 81 and
box seats at So each. Maryland and
Navy charged 81, So and 50 and had
about $4,000 customers instead Of the
10000 or so expected.
TROWD prophets were so far wrong
~ on the Middy-Terp classic that
none has ventured a guess on the
star attraction, but a merry tune on the
turnstiles is promised. There will be
no competition with the Maryland horse
races nor a world series final game to
keep folks near radios and scoreboards;
no serious inroads on pocket money
nor loss of time from toll. And the
game offers much.
With the exception of two players,
Tulsa will bring here the same lineup

IL SON, the Tulsa coach. was head
foot ball tutor at Southern Cali
fornia before Howard Jones, and in
his six years at Tulsa has brought the
Golden Hurricane a long way on the
road to big-time success. He's a spe-
cialist in trick foot ball. with little
regard at times for orthodox methods.
The big puff of the Hurricane at
tack Is Ish Pilkington, captain and
fullback. who runs. passes and kicks
the oval with uncommon ability, if all
they say of him is true. Out in Okla
homa they hail him as an All-America.
The Tulsa advance notices speak highly
also Of the other backs, Billy Boehm.
Velmon Lentz and Ed Dubie, and the
linemen. Potts, Howard Volok. Rey-
nolds, Grisham, Haubersin and Morris,
as husky and capable.
George Washington will show a
hashy pair of ball runners in Joe Carter
and Lee Carlin, a hard-hitting fullback
and excellent punter in OTIS Kriemel-
meyer and a versatile back in Johnny
Fenlon, who, however, is not in the
best trim. If Fenlon is able to exert
himself Friday, he may walk of with
the show. The Colonials have a wealth
of backfield reserve, two big and active
ends in Ike Chambers and Fred Null
vey and sturdy performers in the other
forward positions.

A Few Shocks.

WHEN Southern California is beaten
w in its first game and Notre Dame
Is held TO a scoreless draw in its
second test, the old order is a bit out
OF line. But that Is the way 1t Is,
which reminds us that we forgot TO
mention Maryland's victory over the
Navy.
Southern California was beaten by a
high-class team and Notre Dame had a
we'll coached, rugged opponent in
Northwestern. So neither Of these
events could be classed as an upset. 1t
was too big game to come this soon
in october and the heavy preparation
made for such an important contest
may prove costly to both later on.
One of the big games Of the coming
week is Army and Harvard. Here are
two of the strongest teams in the East,
two of the leaders. The Army looks to
have shade with a we'll rounded,
powerful outfit that can play a lot Of
foot ball, but Harvard is not to be
taken lightly with a good line and one
of the best backfields in the country.
Few teams have such talent as Barry
Wood, Orchard. Mays and White to
call on. This game will eliminate one
Of the leaders in the East.
The victory Of Dartmouth over q
strong Holy Cross team shows what
Yale is up against After the Georgia
game Yale has the Army and Dart
mouth to handle in the next few weeks,
which is like handling a nest Of cobras
or vipers with the bare hands Yale has
a smashing schedule ahead and more
than her share of trouble although the
Georgia victory was expected.
The Army had to beat strong team
in facing Michigan State and that
game tipped off the Army's real
strength.

The JutIand sailor. however, has
made enough money on the mat to have
some one else visit the ZOOS for him to
get the latest monkey movements. For
a banana and a handful of peanuts Dick
could learn more from one monkey
than he could from a quartet Of wrest-
lers. Yet I'll bet those promoters have
shown him more stuff than ZOO full OF
apes.
Shikat has shown that man can act
like a monkey and still be successful
But only in wrestling.

THE SPORTLICHT
by GRANTLAND RICE

w YHAT with the world series
M running into the middle Of
october, one has a somewhat
confused picture Of q foot
ball season that has been under way
for some time. But certainly two of
the most notable victories came out of
the South when Georgia overwhelmed
Yale and when Vanderbilt ran up 26
points against the strong Ohio State
Conference team.
The Vanderbilt defense slipped few
cogs near the finish, but you don't
have to worry a lot with a 26-to-0
lead, especially when you have a ter
rifle schedule to face later.
Georgia and Vanderbilt not only
have two of the best teams in the
South, but two Of the best teams in
the country-East or West, North or
South. They will both bear watching
later on, as both happen to face two
of the hardest marches of the year
before they come to late November
frost
Both have strong lines. and strong
backfields. and when they meet at an
early date this will be one Of the big
games Of the season

Dicks only claim to fame at that
time was that he had fought in the
battle of Jutland as German sailor.
And 1t sort Of baffled your boy friend
to find MI. Shikat tearing around
the Young Mems Hebrew AsSocia-
ton indoor track at Philadelphia
upon his hands and feet. Sailors
never do that.
Just what the good sailor was doing
vas en- even-noney bet. He could have
been paying off an election bet. and,
again, he could have been initiating a
storm at sea for a bewildered audience

men who were there to become lean.

training for a battle with Pat O'Shocker,
or Joe Grim or Tommy Loughran. Who
he was going to meet does not make
much difference, but that he was train

Yessir, Mr.. Shikat will tell you to this
day that he went back to the monkey
to attain his wrestling agility. When he
stalks around the gym upon all fours
Dick is initiating a monkey. For the
monk, Shikat explains, is about as sup
pie and agile as any denizen of the ZOO.
But Mr.. Shikat did not explain in
those days. His English stopped and
started at "Yah." Signor Ray Fabiani,
the fiddling promoter Of Philly, at

SNOW is NOT CRUSTED, ALLOW
ING ELK TO FEED ON HIGHER
RANGES, SAYS RANGER

While deep drifted snow Is report
ed In the Sun river canyon, Willow
creek, Elk creek, and Dearborn dis
tricts out Of Augusta, no feeding Of
stock has been necessary as yet mas
much as most Of the p~Iateaus have
been blown fairly clear, according to-
Samuel F. Harris one Of the Lewis
and Clark national forest rangers In
the Augusta country.
The snow itself Is loose and not crust
ed. Only the weaker stock has been
fed, the ranger said, although this is
to be expected. Game remains in the
higher ranges and SO far has not come
down ear the various ranches of the
district. Travel is possible by car be-
tween Augusta and Great Falls, accord
ing to Mr.. Harris, who advises those
making the trip to put on chains be-
tween Simms and Augusta, however
Virtually all roads out Of Augusta
into the mountainous sections are
blocked by snow. The ranger made the
trip to Augusta with a team. Readings
Of snow depth In the various districts
have been taken by stakes driven into
the ground, Mr.. Harris said. Fourteen
inches of snow has fallen in the Sun
river canyon country, 18 inches in the
Willow creek district and % in the
Elk creek country. No reading has been
made OF the amount of snowfall In the
Dearborn district.

A party of five Piegans (Plenty-coups

clared the word meant "scabby-face")

hard to break or follow. Plenty-coups
confirms this, in his story, saying, I'VE

cold wind that kept it wiped clean of
snow, which had drifted into piles out
of the plains along the river bank" and

1.-The weather was so cold the trees
popped and snapped, and more than
once We were obliged to stop and build
fires to warm the white men, who wore
too many clothes"
Among n white men were CLANCY
Ames (the uncle of Elda Beardslee, who
is now Mrs. r. A. MARTINI, Frank Walt
ers, Joe Tate, Phil Sidels, and Bill
Owens. There was M real organization
of the party, and no leadership except
as Ames assumed direction. Shortly be-
fore daybreak they stopped to rest, and
drink a cup of coffee. Plenty-coups says
that the white men were travelling too
fast, and firing their horses Out. The
Indian ponies had been on starvation
rations, paving the snow or the hill
sides for the scant grass; while the
white mems horses had been eating
hay and oats and naturally could
travel faster. He wanted them to wait,
and W. their strength for the possible
trouble ahead, but they wouldn't.
Plenty-coups says he had sent four
of his own Crows back when the white

GOVERNMENT BUYS
POSTOFFICE SITE
$4,000 PAID FOR PROPERTY IN
BILLINGS FOR ADDITIONAL
BUILDING LOCATION

The federal government paid $780,
600 for Billings property adjacent TO
the present federal building site to
be utilized In a building development
project consisting of alterations and
ar addition. w
A warranty deed conveying owner
ship of five and a fraction lots to the
United States was filed with Yellow
stone county.
Negotiations for the purchase have
been under way since last spring. The
deal was closed between d. L. Agnew
Of Helena, assistant United States dis
trict attorney, and the law firm Of
A. II. Brown and Robert N. Jones,
who represented David Kohn Of the
realty company and the Commercial
club, which has been interested in fed
eral building improvements.
BY reason of the Billings City coun-
ellis action at the recent meeting clos
ing an alley, the land just purchased
by the government is joined with the
old property. This gives the govern
ment half a block.
Before the city council closed the
alley an understanding was reached
with the federal government whereby
interests Of public utilities would be
protected SO they may continue to use
the closed alley.

GIRL is Awarded
International Scholarship
MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
Miss Edna Lucille Talbot, All club
girl of Geyser was awarded n of
the scholarships offered by the Inter-
national Harvester company in cele-
bratiOn of the centennial of the in
vention of the reaper, according to
Charles Potter, state club leader.
The award consists of a scholarship
for $500 which will be paid in INSTALL
ments to Miss Talbot provided she
enrolls in a regular course in agricul-
ture and home economics at a state
agricultural college or other institution
with an approved course selected by
her. The first payment of $500 will
be made as soon as Miss Talbot ma
triculates. The same amount will be
paid to her Feb. !, 1888 and "a further
sum of $100 shall be paid at the time
she registers for the second collegiate
year"
Miss Talcott has been an active club
member since 1926 during which time
she has gained a definite goal and a
thorough application of what the work
signifies, She explains her work as
follows:
'In the year of 1926, Judith Basin
county hired Mr.. Charles r. MOuntjoy
as county extension agent. About the
first of May, 1926, he visited the Gey-
ser high and grade schools. He ex-
planned TO us the meaning Of Al clubs
and what they have done for the coun-
try. I became very much interested and
thought I would try the work for a
year. Our extension agent helped us to
get the needed material for starting
a club and he continued to help during
the year. If it had not been for him l
probably would not have had the op-
p~ortunity to join. We progressed very
rapidly under the guidance of MI.
Mountjoy and our local leader.

"4-H club work has brought the

we are doing as much to develop our
country as the older people are.
Through All club work I nave won
approximately $50 in prizes. Twenty
eight dollars OF this I won this year on
my two years of cooking. Besides the
prizes, l won a trip to Chicago to see
the International Livestock exposition
II enjoyed this trip more than any
other l have had. This year I also was
honored by a trip to Billings as a meln-
Der of a demonstration team. AS this

place in the awards, but we found out
our mistakes and are e~ndeavorlng to
correct them. Our demonstration was

saw the bloody scalp at a Crows belt
the next day. as the Crows came
through with the winded horses.
Bert, the lad, was in the brush hunt

party came through with the two dead
men across their saddles. The bodies
were frozen, and when the party
passed a tree On the narrow trail, the
frozen arm struck the tree, swinging
the body of man around. exposing
his wounded face. 1t was the body OF
Ames, and Bert Martin says he will
never forget the horror that filled him
as he saw this CHASTITY face of a mar

SO short a time before.
There was evidently something start
ling and horrible about these frozen
bodies; for Plenty-coups, Injured as he
must have been to Genes of battle and
death, writes knowingly of these dead
men. He says, talking to his faithful
interpreter and friend, Frank Under
man. Il myself had three holes in my
capote, and n in my shirt, but my
skin was not even scratched. We round
ed up all the horses and helped the
white men pack their dead on gentle
