Easy Winning Over Morning
Side Artists Monday.
Alter several postponement OF games
the Dakota University eleven finally
played their first game of the season
Monday afternoon with the Morning
Side college team, and defeated that
team by score of Sc to 0.
Arrangements had been made to play
the Lincoln Medics and it was not until
after the team had been in the city an
hour thst it was discovered that a sub.
stitution had been made. After their
game with Vermillion Saturday the
Medics found that they were not able to
make the trip owing to four of their
men being injured in the Vermillion
game and they could not make any kind
OF a showing.
There was good crowd in attend
ance at the game and the teams had
not been in play but short time before
it was seen that the Morning Side boys
were clearly outclassed in the game. 1t
was only matter OF time until Mitchell
plowed its way through the opposing
line for touchdown, and finding the
matter easy of solution they readily
saw that the game was safely slowed
away and the next object was to prevent
Morning Side from scoring. In this
they were successful.
Mitchell made some splendid plays
during the game and they held close
together. In one of the runs from the
20 yard line Cropp made fine inter-
ference for Kingsbury. With one hand
on King Cropp pushed him along and
with the other he held off q Morning
Side man who made strenuous effort
to head King off before crossing the
line. 1t was fine play and brought
the cheers from the crowd. At another
point in the game with the ball on the
10 yard line johnson was given the ball
and he made break for the goal line.
He was pursued by three Morning Side
men but his swiftness of foot enabled
him to elude all interference and cross
the line for touchdown behind the
goal. Cropp started to make similar
run and was getting close to the goal
line when he was caught and downed.
All the way through the boys played a
very strong game. Oliphant was hurt
in the first half and had to retire from
the game and Gerkins played oenssr the
rest of the game. Noyes was also
forced out by an injury and Weeks was
substituted. Williams played right
tackle the rest of the game after Oil
plants disability.
The Morning Side eleven made a
GOOD showing several times during the
game and while they had the ball
three times they were unable to advance
ment on the field excepting once, when.
they to the As yard line of Mitchell's
goal. At that point the Mitchells took
strong brace and held them for downs
and got possession of The ball. Smyley
and Smith, the Morning SIDE tacklers,
were very good in their work and cut
off several end runs.
The score at the first half was Mitch
ell 33, Morning Side 0. At the second
half the score was Mitchell %, Morning
Side 0. The total score was Mitchell
Sc, Morning Side 0. Hardy failed to
kick goal several times, but his general
work in that line was good.
This was Mitchell's first attempt at
the game this season with an outside
team and the boys showed up remark
ably we'll in all points of the game.
Morning Side in the last half took
rally and vent for the Mitchell line
with fairly good success.
