V Ilan /...:(f _Eris-arriers nter ankton College Event Augustana, under gruelling cir-cumstances, took second place in a conference cross-country meet held at Yankton Friday, November 22, with Augustana College, Huron Col-lege, and Yankton College compet-ing. Robert Ormseth, Garretson, ran a beautiful race, leading to within a short distance from the finish. where the runners more experienced in harrier traveling passed him. He succeeded in gaining third place. Helmer Myklebust, Jasper, Minne-sota, finished sixth. Palmer Fjel-stad, Florence, holder of the con-ference record for Augustana in the half-mile, negotiated the distance for a seventh, after having been 'bit by a dog and affected by a se-vere cold. William Svanoe, Sioux Falls, put up a plucky fight, but was unable to finish. The above places accumulated enough points to assure Augustana of ranking second. Yankton College took first, with Valder and Lyman ranking first and second respectively. Johns se-cured a fourth. Huron College was third, with Martin taking fifth and Kruse eighth. A cold, piercing wind and a dif-ficult course deterred the contes-tants from making good time, al-though considering the circum-stances the time, 24 minutes, was quite satisfactory. Miss Sullivan to Appear in Recital Walter Eggert, Howarsi, who was chosen as honorary captain of the 1929 football squad has since his arrival at Augustana, been active in football, and his graduation this spring will leave a place in the line hard to fill. He was one of the most valuable men on the team, as was shown in his selection as all-conference guard last season. "Walt's" personality on and off the gridiron has secured for him a great number of friends, and his selection as captain came as a deserved honor. Everyone admires him for his fighting spirit and his ability to "carry on," even though handi-capped by injuries, as he was much of the time this season. Eggert is majoring in the science department and has been active in the Science Club since it was or-ganized.

A bus was chartered from the Sioux Falls Traction System and the classes were thereby taken to and from the greenhouse. Both a morn-ing and an afternoon trip was made, because of the large size of this division of the Biology depart-ment. Professor Anton Ruste, head of the department, through whose efforts the trip was made possible, accompanied the students. Upon leaving, each student was given a carnation as a souvenir of an hour long to be remembered. Besides getting a clearer concep-tion of plants and plant life, the broadness of this branch of the field of science was brought home to them. This visit to the green-house, together with the "illustrat-ed lecture" by Mr. Anderson, has given them a glimpse of next se-mester's work, when, under the guidance of Prof. Ruste, himself a plant propagator of note, they will study the botanical branch of Bi-ology.

Judged on a basis of news values and sources, news writing and edit-ing, editorials, features, and make-up, the publication was found to be surpassed by none in South Da-kota. In the same contest for year-books, the Edda, the Augustana an-nual, was awarded second. These two prizes place Augustana in a high position in the journalistic field. Its publications have always ranked highly in the Press As-sociation contest, the Mirror win-ning of first plance in 1927 and 1929, and the Edda winning sec-ond place in the last two years. Last year the Edda won All-Ameri-can Honer Rating, and the Mirror First Class Honor Rating in the contest sponsored by the National Scholastic Press Association. The contest this year was judged by members of the faculty of the Missouri School of Journalism, Pro-fessor F. L. Martin and Edward Gerald. These men are experts in the field of college journalism. The success of the Augustana college publications is due largely to the system which prevails in se-lection of staff members. In so far as possible, the Edda staff mem- Rev. Norstad Conducts Successful Meetings In a game characterized by er-ratic football, the Augustana Vik-ings emerged from the conflict on the local gridiron with a 12-0 vic-tory over the Trojans of Eastern State Teachers' College at Madison. One surprise after another occasion-ed by misplays and unexpected turns for fortune kept the specta-tors on edge. Securing the advantage of the wind at the start of the game, Eastern pounded its way into the Augustana territory. The entrance of the regular Viking backs quick-ly stemmed the tide on the 40-yard line. Augustana then received the ball and through the invincible rushes of Smith gained 25 yards on four plays to penetrate the eieuiy- Len itury at die iie,;irining of the second quarter. The Vikings advanced to the 38-yard chalk, where an intercepted pass abruptly halted the attack. Eastern elected to punt and on a fumble recovered the ball in midfield. The Vikings retreived the leather on the 35- yard line when the ball was fum-bled by the Trojans and recovered by Augustana. Smith contributed a first down, but lacked a yard for the second, giving the ball to East-ern Normal on its 13-yard mark. The half ended soon after with the struggle still in Eastern territory. Shortly after the opening of the third period, Eggert captured a Trojan fumble for the Vikings on the Eastern 25-yard mark, from where Johnson gained five yards, followed with 17 by Smith on five successive plunges. On the next play, Smith traveled to within one yard of the goal. With four downs to make the requisite yardage, Eastern braced, holding Augustana on the first two downs to a dead-lock. Johnson crossed the goal on the third play with a cleved run outwitting the Trojan defense, but failed in the attempt to dropkick the extra point. The second Augustana counter was added when an Eastern block-ed punt rebounded past its own goal. A general rush for the ball resulted with Gunderson falling on it for the touchdown. The pass for point was incomplete. A fourth quarter assault almost netted an-other Viking tally had it not been for a series of intercepted passes. Eastern before the end of the game accumulated 50 yards on three passes, reaching to Augustana's 30- yard line, but a possible scoring threat was forestalled by the final whistle. In spite of the fickle twists of fortune, Augustana was superior throughout the game, making 14 first downs against 5 for Eastern. In yardage the Vikings running plays netted 212 yards to 59 for the Trojans with the foremen adding 27 on passes and the latter 51. Ralph Smith, Lake Park, Iowa, was the predominant factor in the Augustana offense, repeatedly pene-trating the opposing line for con-sistent gains. Curtis Johnson were the outstanding performers in the line. For Eastern, Lindekugel and O'dell performed creditable in the backfield, and in the line Olsbo,• end, and A. Johnson, tackle, were superior. This closed the football season for the Vikings, as Huron forfeited the game. to be played there on Thanks-gising day. This gives Augustana final rating of .750, the highest rating held by an Augustana, eleven sine,' 1024. Luther Seminary Glee Club Gives Concert A splendid sacred concert was given by the Luther Theological Seminary Glee Club at the First Lutheran Church Sunday evening, Miss Gladys Carol Anderson, vocal' instructor, will present Miss Phyllis Sullivan of Wynot, Nebraska, in a recital, December 12, in the Old Main 'Chapel at 8 o'clock.

Martin Norstad, field rep-resentative of the Norwegian Lu-theran Church of America, com-pleted a four day series of evangel-istic meetings at the college on 'Friday, November 22. During these days the pastor spoke at the regu-lar chapel services in the morning and at the evening services in the chapel of Old Main. Familiar Bible passages were chosen as the basis of his talks in which he explained God's program of salvation for man. Simplicity, yet deep earnestness and genuine-ness characterized the messages which he delivered. "Three Days in a Death Cell," Rev. Norstad's noted lecture, was given at the chapel services on Friday morning, November 22. In this he related a personal experi-ence which he had in the death cell of the Ohio state penitentiary where he was called to be with a young man the last three days be-fore his electrocution. The intro-duction of the story gave a picture of the young man's home and fami-ly surroundings and the incidents which led to the crime for which he was sentenced to die. The story of the conversion of the convicted man illustrated the Biblical truth that the wages of sin are death, but eternal life is a free gift of God.

A bus was chartered from the Sioux Falls Traction System and the classes were thereby taken to and from the greenhouse. Both a morn-ing and an afternoon trip was made, because of the large size of this division of the Biology depart-ment. Professor Anton Ruste, head of the department, through whose efforts the trip was made possible, accompanied the students. Upon leaving, each student was given a carnation as a souvenir of an hour long to be remembered. Besides getting a clearer concep-tion of plants and plant life, the broadness of this branch of the field of science was brought home to them. This visit to the green-house, together with the "illustrat-ed lecture" by Mr. Anderson, has given them a glimpse of next se-mester's work, when, under the guidance of Prof. Ruste, himself a plant propagator of note, they will study the botanical branch of Bi-ology.

Judged on a basis of news values and sources, news writing and edit-ing, editorials, features, and make-up, the publication was found to be surpassed by none in South Da-kota. In the same contest for year-books, the Edda, the Augustana an-nual, was awarded second. These two prizes place Augustana in a high position in the journalistic field. Its publications have always ranked highly in the Press As-sociation contest, the Mirror win-ning of first plance in 1927 and 1929, and the Edda winning sec-ond place in the last two years. Last year the Edda won All-Ameri-can Honer Rating, and the Mirror First Class Honor Rating in the contest sponsored by the National Scholastic Press Association. The contest this year was judged by members of the faculty of the Missouri School of Journalism, Pro-fessor F. L. Martin and Edward Gerald. These men are experts in the field of college journalism. The success of the Augustana college publications is due largely to the system which prevails in se-lection of staff members. In so far as possible, the Edda staff mem- Rev. Norstad Conducts Successful Meetings In a game characterized by er-ratic football, the Augustana Vik-ings emerged from the conflict on the local gridiron with a 12-0 vic-tory over the Trojans of Eastern State Teachers' College at Madison. One surprise after another occasion-ed by misplays and unexpected turns for fortune kept the specta-tors on edge. Securing the advantage of the wind at the start of the game, Eastern pounded its way into the Augustana territory. The entrance of the regular Viking backs quick-ly stemmed the tide on the 40-yard line. Augustana then received the ball and through the invincible rushes of Smith gained 25 yards on four plays to penetrate the eieuiy- Len itury at die iie,;irining of the second quarter. The Vikings advanced to the 38-yard chalk, where an intercepted pass abruptly halted the attack. Eastern elected to punt and on a fumble recovered the ball in midfield. The Vikings retreived the leather on the 35- yard line when the ball was fum-bled by the Trojans and recovered by Augustana. Smith contributed a first down, but lacked a yard for the second, giving the ball to East-ern Normal on its 13-yard mark. The half ended soon after with the struggle still in Eastern territory. Shortly after the opening of the third period, Eggert captured a Trojan fumble for the Vikings on the Eastern 25-yard mark, from where Johnson gained five yards, followed with 17 by Smith on five successive plunges. On the next play, Smith traveled to within one yard of the goal. With four downs to make the requisite yardage, Eastern braced, holding Augustana on the first two downs to a dead-lock. Johnson crossed the goal on the third play with a cleved run outwitting the Trojan defense, but failed in the attempt to dropkick the extra point. The second Augustana counter was added when an Eastern block-ed punt rebounded past its own goal. A general rush for the ball resulted with Gunderson falling on it for the touchdown. The pass for point was incomplete. A fourth quarter assault almost netted an-other Viking tally had it not been for a series of intercepted passes. Eastern before the end of the game accumulated 50 yards on three passes, reaching to Augustana's 30- yard line, but a possible scoring threat was forestalled by the final whistle. In spite of the fickle twists of fortune, Augustana was superior throughout the game, making 14 first downs against 5 for Eastern. In yardage the Vikings running plays netted 212 yards to 59 for the Trojans with the foremen adding 27 on passes and the latter 51. Ralph Smith, Lake Park, Iowa, was the predominant factor in the Augustana offense, repeatedly pene-trating the opposing line for con-sistent gains. Curtis Johnson were the outstanding performers in the line. For Eastern, Lindekugel and O'dell performed creditable in the backfield, and in the line Olsbo,• end, and A. Johnson, tackle, were superior. This closed the football season for the Vikings, as Huron forfeited the game. to be played there on Thanks-gising day. This gives Augustana final rating of .750, the highest rating held by an Augustana, eleven sine,' 1024.

Martin Norstad, field rep-resentative of the Norwegian Lu-theran Church of America, com-pleted a four day series of evangel-istic meetings at the college on 'Friday, November 22. During these days the pastor spoke at the regu-lar chapel services in the morning and at the evening services in the chapel of Old Main. Familiar Bible passages were chosen as the basis of his talks in which he explained God's program of salvation for man. Simplicity, yet deep earnestness and genuine-ness characterized the messages which he delivered. "Three Days in a Death Cell," Rev. Norstad's noted lecture, was given at the chapel services on Friday morning, November 22. In this he related a personal experi-ence which he had in the death cell of the Ohio state penitentiary where he was called to be with a young man the last three days be-fore his electrocution. The intro-duction of the story gave a picture of the young man's home and fami-ly surroundings and the incidents which led to the crime for which he was sentenced to die. The story of the conversion of the convicted man illustrated the Biblical truth that the wages of sin are death, but eternal life is a free gift of God.
