DEFEATED BuENA VISTA.

The Storm Lake Players We're Not
Allowed to Score Against the
University Eleven.
News was anxiously awaited from
Sioux City Friday afternoon for the
result of the foot ball game between
Dakota University of this city and the
Buena Vista college team of Storm
Lake. Iowa. The latter had been given
the privilege to get up the strongest
possible team and they took advantage of
the proposition to organize an especially
good one.
The news was received at 4:3O that
Mitchell had won the game by score
of IL to 0, and the hearts of the Mitchell
people swellad with pride accordingly.
The boys arrived home Saturday on
q freight, having travelled all night
long.
In con nversation with Coach Cropp he
said that the game was very hard one
and that the Bnena Vista players put up
a good game OF team work and had
some excellent Individual players.
There were only three Buena Vista
players in the lineup and the balance
was composed of old varsity players
from other colleges, including the
State University Of Iowa and several
other Iowa colleges.
The Sioux City Journal gives the fol-
lowing report of the game as it was
played:
Those who expected that Dakota
would have an easy time of it were con-
siderably surprised by the result of the
first few scrimmages after the kickoff,
in which the Storm Lake team held its
ground and stopped the heavy rushes of
the Dakotans with seeming ease. Mitch.
ell had won the toss and chose the west
goal with the wind in their favor. Har-
Ian, captain and fullback of the Iowans,
kicked off from the center CT the field,
sending the ball to Mitchell's fifteen
yard line. Hardy made five yards
around right end for Mitchell, and af-
ter couple more tries at the line with
only short gains the ball was fumbled
on a poor pass and Beuna Vista fell on
the pigskin. Ten yards was given
Beuna Vista for an off eide play by Will
liams, and Steig followed with q good
gain around left end for fifteen yards.
This landed the ball on Mitchell's fif-
teen-yard line, and Harlan called for a
goal from the field. The attempt failed
and the ball sailed off the side of the
goal posts for touchback.
The Dakotans had received scare
during the few minutes in which their
goal was threatened and Immediately
took big brace. Shortly afterwards
the Storm Lake men again came near
scoring touchdown. Odiet was given
the oval on criss-cross play and circled
right end for run OF twenty-five yards.
He was down at Mitchell's three-yard
line. Five yards were lost in the next
scrimmage and three in the next
through the good work OF the Mitchell
line men, and Tymeson again tried for
a goal from the field. The attempt
again failed, and time was called with
the ball on Mitchell's fifteen.yard line.
The second half was moro one sided,
though the Storm Lake players kept
up remarkable defense against the
heavy line smashes of their opponents.
Mitchell succeeded in crossing the goal
line in the middle of the half after
series OF five and ten yard gains.
Kingsbury kicked an easy goal, and the
score stood IL 20. In this half the
Mitchell goal line was not in serious
danger. AS the half closed the ball
was en- Buena Vista's fourteer-yard
line, and few minutes more of play
would probably have resulted in a
touchdown.
The game was a fine one from start
to flush ard the home team had to
beat Buena Vista and the Sioux City
crowd, ss they did all the roofing for
the Iowa team, as WIS but natural
Practically the same lineup was played
at Sioux City as was played against
Carleton.
Geo. r. Douthit stated that no ar
rangements were made at Sioux City
with the Vermillion team for game of
foot ball. Word was received here this
morning that G. H. Craig, of the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader, had made arrange
ments With the Vermilliou authorities
to play Mitchell and that the date
would be arranged later. This was
also stated in the Argus Leader OF last
evening. Mr.. Douthit had conversa-
tion With Manager McClaire at Sioux
City yesterday and he declined TO play
Mitchell, although it is possible be
knew nothing aG that time of tie COR
cessions made by the university author
tiles at Vermilliop. So that it is likely
that the game has heen arranged, and
if so it will be played atSioux Falls.
