TWO MORE GAMES
HIGH SCHOOL BEATS ABERDEEN
AND COLLEGE TEAM WINS
FROM HURON
NORTH DAKOTA cones on SATURDAY
And the High School Plays Water
town, SO that a DoubIeheader Will
Be Staged at College Park

Brookings' football teams have been
more fortunate the past week, both
the college and high school winning
their games. The high school won
from Aberdeen high at the fair
grounds Saturday by a score of 10
to 0, and the college team defeated
Huron college at Huron Monday by
a score of II to 0. This latter game
was scheduled for Saturday, but was
postponed until Monday on account
of the visit of President Taft to that
city, the expectation being that they
could lure a quarter or two from
some of the visitors who had come to
see the president. From all accounts
this scheme worked nicely, as there
"a a fine turnout to the game.
Next Saturday the North Dakota
agricultural college team Of Fargo
m to Brookings for the annual
battle with the State college, and the
Brookings high meets their old foes
from Watertown, so a doubleheader
will be staged at the college park
that afternoon. Both of these should
be great games, S the Watertown
and Brookings schools always put on
a real battle, and North Dakota by
its defeat of Aberdeen 55 t 0 0 looms
up as a worthy foe for the college.
Saturdays game between the Brook
ings and Aberdeen high school teams
was played at the fair grounds and
proved to be a battle royal after the
first few minutes. The Brookings'
boys got the jump on their opponents
over them for two touchdowns, but
failed to kick either goal. After this
they found the going harder, as the
visitors took a decided brace and
gamely fought the home team away
from their goal. The Aberdeen boys
were lighter than the locals, but
Brookings was not in the best of
shape, several of the stars being
afflicted with injuries which slowed
them up. Skinner played a good
game, although he was suffering from
a sprained ankle. Kennard, a new
man, showed up we'll in the backfeld,
and Captain Hanson carried the ball
well.

The game at Huron Monday was a
good one and hard fought throughout.
Brookings' first score was made by
Lockhart on a line plunge, after Pence
had carried it to the 2-yard line on
a brilliant fifty yard run. Catlett
made the second touchdown on a long
run through a broken field. Brook
ings made practically all gains by
end runs and the forward pass. Long
runs of thirty and forty yards were
the rule rather than short gains. The
game was marred by frequent pen
alties by the Brookings men and the
latter were penalized for fully 120
yards during the game; seventy yards
during the first quarter. Huron played
a much better game than was antici-
pated by the State college team, and
hard line plunges and end runs forced
the visitors to play the game every
minute. Coach Johnson was not
exactly pleased with the showing Of
his team and stated that it was an
off day for the Brookings men. They
did not play the fast style Of football
that characterized the game with Yer
million a week ago.
