GridirOn.
"Just as the sun went down. Mitchell
University took her second greul
victory from Yaukton college on the
gridiron Monday afternoon. 1t was
the first football game of the season
and it was thought that both teams
would be little ragged in their work.
There was good crowd out consider
ing that it was the opening of the
season and 20 far as it was permitted
cheered the boys on to greater efforts,
but coaching from the side lines was
not permitted on this occasion.
A year ago when these two teams
played their game the score stood 3S to
0 in favor of Mitchell, but it was
thought that in the absence of three
of the old players they would not be
able to put UP as strong a game and
probably meet with defeat. 1t was
demonstrated, however, that all the
cunning and strength was not confined
in two or three persons but that there
were others and those were found by
some constant practice anu the coach
ing of Prof. Blodgett. The coach, who
acted as umpire, stood on the side lines
and covered the ground and watched
the play of his pets with evident salts
faction and at the same time called
them down when they were taking any
undue I'D dv.ntsge of their opponents.
The professor was very fair in his de-
cieions and because Of connection with
the home team he gave it no benefit 10
that would result in the advantage of
the game.
Play was called at about and the
halves were made 80 minutes long.
Mitchell took the north goal in the
first half and kicked off to johnson at
