caldwell Plays Star Game.

ASoSctil SoL vi thS oIC-lc WI
lege and Dakota Wesleyan of Mitchell
battled to an 0 to 0 tie at the college
park on Saturday aftel n. The
game was hard fought by tn teams
and was exciting up IS the final
whistle. Brookings had 9 ball on
the visitors three-yard liz. when the
game ended and if the . had been
a half minute to play g Id surely
have had a touchdown. le honors
of the game go mostly e Bookings,
as the home team outpls q the min
listers and should have =. IN. They
gained considerable more ground than
Mitchell, but penalties at critical mo-
ments prevented them from scoring.
Very few forward passes were used
by either team and there is no ques-
ton but that a little more open play
by Brookings would have resulted
in a score.
Brookings did not have the snap
and ginger Of their game against
Huron, but they fought well and are
deserving of credit for their showing.
Mitchell proved to be stronger than
anticipated, but they were lucky in
several respects and did not suffer at
all from the decisions of the officials.
Their chief reliance was a shift play,
which they used most of the time and
which was the only one that was sue
c~essful. 1t baffled the home team for
some time, but they finally solved it
and thereafter the visiting team did
not look so good.
Captain Caldwell was the chief
ground gamer for Brookings and was
also strong on defense. Skinner and
Knox did good work in advancing the
ball, and McHugh was the best man
on either line. Chase and Kienholtz
did the best work for the visitors.
Saturdays tie does not impair the
colleges chances of winning the state
collegiate championship and a vic
tory over the school of mines next
Thursday will give them the title.
Brookings not only made a much bet
ter showing than Mitchell in Satur-
days game, but the latter team was
defeated by Huron, 10 to 0, and Huron
in turn lost to B~rookings, 20 to 3. So
its up to Brookings next Thursday.
