TWO VICTORIES /
AND A DEFEAT
THE RECORD OF OUR FOOTBALL
TEAMS.
ST. THOMAS GAME A DEFEAT
BUT HIGH SCHOOL AND SECOND
TEAM TRIM OPPONENTS.

TWO victories and a defeat was the
sum total OF the activities of u foot
ball teams during the past week. For
the first time this season the State
college team Went down to defeat,
losing to the fast St. Thomas team
at st. Paul Saturday by a score of
rs to 0. The high school team trim
med up Clear Lake at the fair grounds
Friday afternoon by a score of IL to
3, and the second team Of the col
lege won a narrow victory over the
Madison normal at the college Satur-
day afternoon, the score being 6 to 5.
Although they were badly defeated
at st. Pau the college boys were not
dlsgraced by any means, putting up
a game fight to the finish and st.
Thomas had to play for every point
they made. The game was a hotly
contested affair, but the st. Paul team
with their greater weight, speed and
experience outclassed Bookings. The
State college boys held st. Thomas
to a lone touchdown in the first half,
but at the beginning of the second
period the home team put an almost
new team in the field, just as good
as the men that played the first half,
which OF course gave hem a decided
advantage, as Brookings was pretty
well worn out with the exertions of
the first half. st. Thomas outweigh
ed Brookings fifteen pounds to the
nan
The boys report very good treat
ment at st. Paul and state that st.
Thomas played a clean game through
out. st. Thomas has been noted I'm
the past for unfair work and in past
years visiting teams have had
trouble in getting a square deal there,
but Brooking8 has no complaint on
that score this yea The boys say
they We're outplayed, that's all there
was to it.
The team returned home full OF
fight and confident Of taking Vermil-
lions scalp next Monday. Cliff John
son, the big guard, had a rib broken
and will be out of the game for the
rest of the season, and Lockhart and
Pier were injured, although not SER
iously enough to keep them out Of
Mondays battle. Coach S~9underson
is short on good line substitutes and
the team will be weakened somewhat
by Johnson's injury.
The second team of the college pull
ed off a neat victory owe the Madi-
son normal team, although it was only
by the narrow margin of a goal kick.
The game was one of the most in
tereSt1ng OF the season and both
teams fought 1t out as though the
championship depended on the result.
Madison scored their touchdown in
the first quarter, after a pretty for
ward pass had placed the ball on
BrOokings' two-yard line. Brookings
came back in the second half and
scored a touchdown on a well execut-
ed forward pass, Sawyer to Anderson.
Crane kicked goal, giving the home
team the lead by one point which
they maintained to the finish. In the
beginning OF the last quarter Madi-
son had the ball on the home teams
t~hree-yard line, but Brookings made
one OF the finest stands we have ever
seen. They held on the first two
downs and on the last try Hewitt
broke through the line and Kicked up
a tumble, getting away for a long run.
The remainder OF the quarter was
largely a kicking duel, in which
Brookings managed to keep the Wis
itors away from their goal. Sawyer,
Crane, Odland, Hewitt and Treacy
did star work for Brookings. Wag-
ner, the Madison coach, refereed the
game and he was giving his team the
best OF 1t until called" by Brookings.
The high school boys had a rather
hard time taking Clear Lakes scalp
on Friday. At the beginning OF the
game Coach Patty gave most Of the
second team a chance, but as the
Clear Lake bunch, which outweighed
Brookings about twenty-five pounds
to the man, was getting away with
them, the first team men were ush-
cred onto the scene and they after a
hard battle managed to win out.
Quincy Morrow has the regiments
in his shoulder badly torn.
The high school team will be idle
next Saturday, but the following week
they take on Sioux Falls here md this
should be the best game of the homo
season. The Sioux Falls tea~1 plays
Watertown next Saturday and a COM
parison Of the scores Of the two
games will be interesting. The game
between Watertown and Sioux Falls
will be played at the latter city, so
Watertown will not have the decided
advantage they do when playing on
