Two tall and rangey tens are
holding the lead in the- early season
race and it looks like those two teams
Kansas and Oklahoma will fur
nish plenty of trouble lsr Valley con
tenders. The entire Sooner first; alike, dress alike, talk anice, act

measuring six feet six. half the time. The Campbell twins

Twenty Men To Go

In a rough and hard-fought bat

won its second consecutive Missouri
Valley conference basketball game
on January 8 from Grinnell 29 to 23.
The Sooners opened their Iowa In
vasion by defeating Iowa State 32
to 29, then the Tioneers fell before
the boys from the south. Oklahoma
accumulated 14 personal fouls and
Grinnell 11.

Hugo Otapalik, head wrestling

Bears are two radically different
coached teams. Doctor "Phog" Allen
uses the cone method with his Kansas
five, and the Bears employ the man-to-man
method, and their guards

backguard for the Bears plainly
showed in the Kansas game.
The Iowa State basketball team

of close matches are anticipated, es
pecially in the heavier weights.
Under the direction of Coach John

and a number of wrestlers will get
their first Varsity experience in the

the line-up.

years ago, will have strong competi
tion in George Davis in the 175
pound class. Davis and Lundy
went extra periods to a decision in
the interfratcrnity meet. Waldo is
also' capable of making the 175
pound class limit if needed.
In the 158 pound class Joe Toman,
a sophomore, is doing well, although
lacking in experience. Lundy can

Log of Oil
Vermillion, S. D., Jan. 10. De
tailed drilling records of sixteen rep
resentative deep wells in western
South Dakota have been compiled
by the state Geological and Natural
History survey and a limited num
ber of mimeograph copies made for
immediate distribution. The logs
have been assembled because they
give much Information concerning
the formations underlying the west
ern part of the state, according to
E. P. Rothrock, state geologist and
professor of geology at the Univer
sity of South Dakota.
Oil drillers, prominent oil compan
ies, oil geologists and interested citi
zens have long been seeking, the in
formation which this pamphlet con
tains, for the log of wells already
drilled suppty the mast authentic
information regarding the nature of
the formations to be drilled through,
their relative thickness, the depth at
which horizon sands or producing
rocks may be reached.
In gathering the information Pro
fessor Rothrock sought the logs of
wells which had been drilled along
three east-west belts so that the max
imum of comparative information
might be obtained. The northern belt
includes wells drilled in the section
between the Moreau river and the
North Dakota line. The southern belt
includes the wells in the section ly
ing south of Rapid Creek and Bad
river. The central belt includes the
territory lying between the other
two.
Very fen deep wells have been
drilled in the northern belt Logs of
the Irish Creek well near Isabel and
the Cheyenne well at the Cheyenne
agency were obtained but no reliable
information was available from the
Mitchell well 6 miles southwest of
Lemmon nor the Davis well north of
Lemmon across the North Dakota
line. The Irish Creek well is still in
the process of drilling, its present
depth' according to the log being 2,-
049 feet and still going through
shale. The Cheyenne well is 1SS7
feet deep with a white sandstone at
the depth.
Eight wells in the central belt are
logged with two of them reporting
showings of oil. Logs of the White
wood and the Gullickson wells in the
Black Ilills are given, neither giving
much information. Three wells
drilled by the Northwestern railroad
at Wendt, Capa and Nowlin, all
yielding large flows of water above
100 degrees in temperature are
given.
The most interesting of the logs of
the central belt are the records of
the West Fork and the Standing
Butte wells, drilled by private com
panies prospecting for ofl. They lie
about thirty miles north of the hot
water wells. Showings of oil reported
from the West Fork well but was
C - - -
Wells Being Drilled
stopped In an artesian flow of hot
water. The Standing Butte well is
still unfinished after going 460 feet
into limestone below the Dakota for
mation, a total depth of mors than
8,000 feet
According to Professor Rothrock
the limestone In this well is the same
as the Palezolc limestones in the
Black Hills and finding them this far
from Vha Hills makes it reasonably
certain that they enn be encountered
under a large part if not the entire
area west of the Missouri. Lime
stones have been the source rocks
and the reservoir rocks in many oil
fields and these particular formations
have Bhown traces of oil tn their out
crops in the Black Ilills.
The other well In which oil show
ings were found is the Fort Pierre
well, which was drilled to a depth of
2,570 feet At this depth a tar sand
carrying oil was found. A narrow
band of oil sancN was also found at
2,5(50 feet
Log's of six wells in the southern
belt are given, including the Red
Canyon well, Edgcmont well, and
the Ardmore well tn the southern
Hills district, the Conata well, the
Rosebud well and the Murdo well.
Oil showings were reported from a
sand in the Pahasapa formation in
the Red Canyon well at 2,091 feet
The deepest of these wells is the one
at Edgemont which was drilled for
water. It stopped at a depth of 2,
985 feet after piercing 400 feet of
the Pahasapa formation.
