Sports Field
Board Reports
on Work Done
STATEMENT IN ANSWER
TO CRITICISM OF
PROGRESS

In view OF the crluclSm from
some residents of the city who
failed to see what has been &C
complished at the athletic field,
the athletic board has deemed it
advisable to publish a record of
the work accomplished to date.
In addition to the completion of
the football field and installation
of the lighting system consider
able number of Improvements are
completed or underway. Govern
ment statistics show that funds
spent have paid for only 80 man
months or the equivalent of the
labor of crew of 10 men employ
ed for eight months. Members
of the WPA crew which is doing
the work are allowed to work
only Ito hours a month.
1t should also be remembered
that WPA requires a major
amount of hand labor on all pro-
jects and a minimum of machin-
cry. This necessarily makes pro-
gress very slow compared with
progress using modern methods
and equipment.
The record shows that 1898
cubic yards of excavation which
includes grading and leveling has
been done and 800 cubic yards of
gravel has been laid on the park
ing area and walk. Eight hun
dred ten feet of sewer have been
completed.
Working under the direction of
Joseph M. Corbett, the crew which
varies in number almost from
day to day, has laid 1,640 feet of
ten inch tile; 1850 feet of six
inch tile and $50 feet of four inch
tile.
Three clay tennis courts will be
completed this week.
The band shell has been moved
from the Lincoln school grounds
and was set on the field ready for
concerts by the middle of June. It
was moved onto its foundation by
July Is but has not yet been used
by the band.
Incidental work has included
fencing, placing stone curbs and
drains, seeding and work on the
skating rink.
The crew has dug a well and
piped it for sprinkling.
AS fast as cinders are available
they are spreading them on the
track, already having used $50
cubic yards. The track will be
completed this fall, ready for use
in the spring season.
The concrete tennis courts will
be poured next week, work on the
bases being nearly done.
: The athletic association which
is composed of shareholders
throughout the city, has spent
money only for tile and for ma
terial for the concrete courts, The
government has paid for labor
with the exception of part of the
rough excavation done by George
Huhnerkoch with his graders.
The heaviest and biggest share
of the work necessary to the de-
Velppment of the tract has been
work on athe foundations of the
various fields and areas. Finish
ing should take comparatively
short time.
It must be remembered that
when this project was started the
difficulty of the task was fully
realized. AS a result there were
no foolish statements made re-
garding the time in which it
would be completed.
2 Stockholders and members of
the board who were present at
meetings know that this project
was to be completed gradually.
When it is finished in every de-
tail Redwood Falls, according to
University experts, will possess
one of the finest athletic fields in
the nation.-Athletic Board.

TAXFR.EE SPORTS
DECISION FOUGHT
Appeal to Be Taken in Ex'
emptions of Georgia
@ Universities.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. -,.- =
ATLANTA, Dec. 20.-United States
District Attorney Lawrence S. Camp
said today he would recommend ap-
peal to the Supreme Court of Cir
cult Court decision exempting the
State university from the Federal 10
per cent admission tax on athletic
events,
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled Saturday at New Orleans that
the Government could not collect the
tax on football games and other events
at the University of Georgia or Geor-
gia Tech, holding such taxation was
condemned under the clause which
bars the Federal Government from
taxing State government.
Several State-operated institutions
in other States indicated action may be
taken to benefit from the New orleans
decision. .'-. -...
Maj. Blandy B. Clarkson, athletic
director of Virginia Military Institute,
proposed Joint action by State insti-
tutions in Virginia to avoid payment
Of the admission levy.
Col. j, w. HARRISON, dean OF ad-
miniStration at North Carolina State
said he thought the college would
have sufficient grounds" for protest
on the tax under the ruling.
The Fifth Circuit Court has juris-
diction in Georgia, Florida, Alabama
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas
The courts ruling referred to col
lege athletics as a feature of educa-
ton which reached back to ancient
Grecian times and that where these
events were performed by amateurs
the Federal tax should not be col
lected.

Danish Landrace hogs imported re-

The story of our American turkey
begins early in the 10th century
| when the Spanish conquerors invaded
Mexico. To them this large, hand
some, toothsome bird was toe valuable
not to take back nome. So the
American turkey crossd the ocean
and was introduced to Spain. There
it was happy, taking the new life as
if born to it and willingly bringing
| up flourishipg families in captivity
Naturally France and England wanted
such large birds. BY the time the
first colonists decided to come to Amer.
lea turkeys were well established. So
back to America came some Of the
foreign-born descendants.
The woods at one time were fairly
alive with wild turkeys. The wild
birds of today find peace only In the

Of swamps. In the Southwest they
have taken refuge among the chapar-
raj close to streams or where there
are fine groves of oak and pinon.
In the early days turkeys were tt
be found in flocks. AT night they
gathered in trees. They were migrat.

Georgia you can still see fiocks Of
wild turkeys, remnant of the grea'
numbers of them whose calls onct
