The state college football team won
from Yaukton college at Yankton last
Saturday by a score Of - to 10. The
gam" Wu~ the closest as we'll as the
hardest fought of amy of the games
this season, and the margin Of super
iority shown by the Brookmgs team
was a very Slight one. The failure of
Nmktou to convert their tuuchdowns
into goals tells the story of their
defeat q, each team made two touch
downs The Yankton team has been
coming along in great shape since
their disastrous defeat by Nermillion,
and is the best bunch the college team
has been up against this fall.
The officials of the game were: Re.
fierce Kraich of Nebraska; umpire,
Brisbme of Nermillion, head lineman,
Nichol of Mitchell The work OF the
officials was all that could be desired
and the Brookings team and the crowd
which accompanied them, have no
complaint to make. The people of
Yankton also treated the BroOkings
pleasant trip, The special train left
here early Saturday morning, carrying
about 17J students and tOwnspeople
and the college band and returned af-
ter the game, arriving home at three
o'clock Sunday morning.
The work of all the members of the
Mcharg and Atkinson, the ends and
Of Capt. Coughlin being especially
noteworthy. Coughlin did the best
kicking he has shown this season and
outpunt"d his opponent by good
margin.

Yukton's 3-yd line. and they adyanc-
ed the ball by three speedy end runs.

During the interval between halves
the Brookugs crowd led by the band,
did their usual cake-walk around the
field. All through the game the root

spectacular feature, and Iankton was
out-yelled in her own back yard

kicked off to BrOokings on the lloyd
line. Brookings gained five yards and

Brookings team stave off defeat, as

line with three downs in which to
make their distance, but the Yankton
