A HARD LUCK TEAM.

The Aberdeen Daily News last week
had a picture of the Brookings high
school football team, with the follow
ing comment:
One of the best, stiIl one which
made the least showing, football
teams in the South Dakota Athletic
association this year is the eleven
from Brookings, and though at the
opening of the season the school had
full schedule arranged, and it looked
like brilliant season, just after the
opening there was slump in the
market" and it seemed as though the
bottom had fallen out of the Brook
ings' prospects, and all during the sea-
son the team was not able to take
one game from any team in the state
association, and at the same time, the
hCys boast that they were not de-
feated in a single game.
The games with Huron, Watertown
and Sioux Falls were all played under
duNcISG WcdIucl COuultlOllo, CopCSldbs
the one with Watertown, the closing
game of the season. In this game the
boys played on field of snow, which
in places was nearly three feet deep.
Had it not been for an excess of the
beautiful" it is said that the score
would have been different.
AS in years, past the Brookings
teams have been marked by the un-
dersize of the players, but despite this
fact they have played very fast ball,
and have always been in the race for
the state honors, and this year finds
them one of the best and fastest
teams in the state.
Considering that Brookings team was
made up of new men with the eXcep-
tion of four, the seasons showing was
good OF the four old men, Captain
Chappell played a consistent game all
year, his kicking was probably equal
to any man in the state. He was a
real leader of his men.
Catlett, who made all state end last
year, and Caldwell a lineman of last
year, are perhaps the fastest pair of
backs in the state. Catlett, it is said
by experts "who know" has outplayed
any opposing back in running and
breaking interference this fall They
will be in the race for all-state men
next year.
Johnson, another old mai, has play
ed a steady game at tackle, opening
good holes and breaking up plays on
his end of the line. He will also give
the tackles next year run for the all
state.
OF the Lew men, Hanson, is hard
hitter in the interference and seldom
allowed a gain around his end
Miller is the other end and is nervy
player. Waltz, Larphier, Fishback
and Peterson, other new linemen,
have been strong on defense, allow
ing the goal line to be in danger few
times during the season.
Dakin, new man at quarter, is
probably the curest man in the state
handling the BALI With a little more
experience at running the team he
would be candidate for the all-star
quarter
Skinner, who subbed at quarter and
half this year, will undoubtedly make
place on the team next year. He is
we'll built. fast on his feet and the
prettiest tackler in the state.
