STATE COLLEGE DEFEATS ABER-
DEEM NORMAL TEAM BY A
IL TO o SCORE

State University Game Will Be Hard
est on the ScheduIe-Details Of
the Aberdeen Game

started the season off right last Sat
urday by defeating the Normal school
team of Aberdeen by a IL to 0 score.
The game was played at the college
park, with ideal weather conditions,
although the field was rather soft
from the heavy rains of last week.
The contest was attended by an I'M
usually large crowd for the first game
of the season.
The game was an interesting one
to watch, as there were many spec
tacular plays pulled off by both teams,
but neither aggregation played real
good football. Brookings ran all over
the visitors in the first few minutes
of the game, but after that it was an
ever battle, with neither team get
ting very close to the others goal.
The crudity of play was perhaps to
be expected in the first game, but
Brookings must make a decided i'm
provement this week if Vermillion is
held to a respectable score. The back
field looks to be very fast and played
good ball Saturday, but there could
be a big improvement in the line.
Kremer at right end put up a great
game Saturday, but the other extreme
of the line was weak and not
of the three men tried there gave a
very satisfactory exhibition. There
are two or three other weak spots
in the line that must be plugged up be-
fore Saturday. Coach Temple, who
was in charge Of the team in the
absence of Head Coach Johnson, tried
out a number of his men and this
frequent substitution no doubt was
responsible in a measure for the lack
of team play.
Next Saturday comes the state
university game, n of the most i'm
portant on the schedule, and the one
that we want to win if there is any
possible show to do it. Their game
with Minnesota last Saturday, in
which they held the big university
to a 5 to 0 score, indicates that Yer
million is unusually strong, and
Brookings must put up a desperate
battle to hold them anywhere near
even. 1t will be no disgrace to be
beaten by the state university, which
undoubtedly has one of the best teams
in the Northwest, provided the local
team gives them a battle every min
ute. However, We are not conceed-
ing the game to Vermillion by a long
ways, and Brookings by putting the
necessary ginger and fight into their
play have a good chance to win.
