That was the result of the game of
football as played between the Ysnk-
ton college eleven and the Dakota Uni

ternoon, and the score ought to con-
vince the Sioux Falls team that Mitch
ell is superior to the eleven from the
Queen city.
The Yankton team arrived on the
south train at 4 o'clock and in thirty
minutes the two teams were ready to
tackle the pigskin. Yankton got the
kick off, Mitchell capturing the ball
at once and three minutes later broke
through Yankton's line and made a
touchdown, Miller carrying the ball
over the line in short struggle. In
the second round of the first half Nc

our boys completely demoralized the
Yankton interference. In the third
round Laurson made the third touch

shown by Mitchell in their rushes.

made clean run for our goal with an
other touchdown. These touchdown
