Hrookings came TO Mitchell
Thanksgiving DAY for the final foot
ball game Of the season, and it was
q glorious victory that the Wesleyan
lads cleaned up when. they took the
aggies into camp by q score of % to
@.
The Brookings delegation arrived
IN the city on a special train owe
tho Northwestern and Omaha roads
at Il little after 10 O'Clock, with a
party of at least ESQ students, ac-
~comnanied by the band of the col
lege. They were greeted at the train
by a large and representative body
of students from the University, and
The whole group marched down
town, where they separated to hus-
tie off TO down the Thanksgiving
dinner, and make ready for the big
contest OF the afternoon.
The day could not have been bet
ter for the game. There was not the
slightest wind blowing, the atmos-
!phere was mild with the bright sun
t'iAiiiliS, oih aillodSu llc IGlu was
ia trifle hard, it did moi noticeably
affect the playing of either team. The
student body OF both colleges lined
up Oh the %southsiIee of the gridiron,
where they cheered their warriors on
to victory, lead by their yell masters,
both Of whom brought forth all the
stunts which had been worked up
for the occasion. There was an inn
mense crowd out for the game, which
lined the four sides of the field, and
at times the enthusiasm ran TO an
exciting pitch,
Scored in Three Minutes.
The game was called at $40,
with Mitchell kicking off TO the east
coal. The first kick by Storer sent
to BAH N of bounds over the line,
and right there the game was won.
BEFORE Brookings knew VIVA had
happened Mitchell secured her first
touchdown. and which was sufficient
TO win the game. With the ball OF
Bookings line they were forced to
punt, which was blocked within five
yards of the line. Chase grabbed
The ball and without interference he
carried it over for a touchdown,
Nolt kicking goal.
Toward the close Of the quarter
two attempts We're made to kick a
field goal from the 90 yard line, but
both failed, the ball going straight
but too low. With the ball still in
Brookings territory Mitchell tried
three forward passes, and only on the
last enc were they able TO make a
gain. The efforts at breaking
through B%rookings line were unavail-
ing, and Bookings met the same
fate when they attempted TO make
gains through the Mitchell line.
When it became evident that both
| lines were impregnable emf runs and
forward passes We're rcsorted to
with little better effect. At the end
OF the first quarter the score was:
Mitchell. 6; Brookings, 0.
Second Quarter.
There was little doing in the Sec
ond quarter, except for the exchang-
ing OF punts, in which Mitchell seem

The quarter ended with the score the

Between the Halves.
While the teams We're resting be-
tween the halves the students of
both colleges took possession Of the
gridiron to exercise their physical
strength in the matter of marching
around the ground to the music of
both the bands which view with each
other in trying to out-toot the other
college yells were rampant, and vocal
stunts We're strung through the air
with great rapidity.
Scored in Second Half.
Mitchell kicked off to Broolings,
and the ball went to near the goal
line and secured the pail on a fun
Bile. Brookings showed great strength
at thai point and held Mitchell for
downs, puntirg the ball to the other
end of the field. Mitchell tried sew
eral end runs and then punted the
ball back to Bookings end, and then
