SIOUX FALLS is
GRIDIRON VICTOR
MITCHELL HIGH PAVES WAY FOR
DEFEAT BY EXCESSIVE
FlIMBLlNG.

Old Man Luck, the jinks, or what
ever you may call it, had the Indian
sign on the Mitchell high school
eleven yesterday afternoon and Sioux
Falls won the football victory that
has been hers only too often in re-
cent seasons. The score was 10 to
Although oUtveighed in practical
ly every position, Mitchell played a
brilliant game. She held the visitors
for downs six times during the strug-
gle and kept the bah veil in the
enemy's territory most of the game.
But ten costly fumbles, nearly every
one OF which gave Sioux Fails the
ball, was a handicap that stellar
playing could not overcome.
Sioux Falls fully lived up to the
expectations of the Mitchell fans.
With IA heavy solid line, a back field
equal to that seen on many college
~elevens II a series of brilliant PLAYS,
the visitors had a winning combine a
ton. Despite the fact that Sioux
Fails was outplayed and outgamed
time after time, she did not tumble,
and therefore is entitled fairly to all
the honors of the combat. Through
this, the visitors had the better team.
Sioux Falls Won the toss and Cap
tain Parliman chose to defend at. the
west goal. Reirson kicked off. The
ball was advanced for thirty Yards
on the start. but Mitchell held the
visitors for downs and gained the
pigskin. A forward pass was at
TEMPTED and the ball was lost. Sioux
Falls again vas held for downs. Nit
ichel gained the ball. but lost it when
Nordby fumbled. This, in tabolid, is
the history of the game.
Recovering the ball, Sioux Falls
smashed through on plays over cen
ter, Grant, Hawley and Parliman
making good gains. The visiting
captain wetn over the line for the first
touchdown and Hatrwell kicked goal.
Score, z to o.
In the second quarter, Mitchell
started with a dashing attack, Yer
milyea and Nordby repeatedly maxi
ing good gains. Marching steadily
down the field, Mitchell fumbled on
the visitors four-yard line and lost
the bali. On a fake forward pass,
Parliman sprinted through the line
for twenty yards. Mitchell braced
and Sioux Falls was forced TO punt.
Mitchell gained the ball but two moro
fumbles gave the spheroid TO the
enemy and Parliman finally skirted
left end for a run OF twenty yards.
The record of the first half showed
that Mitchell had fumbled and lost
the ball five times, but I'D only been
held for downs once.
The purple and white warriors
were invincible at the opening of the
third period, but another pair of
fumbles made defeat certain. Sioux
Falls failed to make its gains con-
~sistently for half of the quarter, but
finally Parliman broke away and ran
fifty yards for a touchdown. Offside
play nullified the score, but "a NOM
ent later a fake formation gave
Hawley his chance and he sprinted
around right for fifty yards and cross
ed the line. Goal kick failed. Score.
10 to O..
With two t~ouendewns registered
against her. Mitchell would not
denied and fought for downs. With
Captain Nordby bearing the brunt
of the attack, smashes through the
line carried the ball along and the
Mitchell leader went over the line.
Reierson kicked goal and the score
stood Is to Z.
In the final quarter. Sioux Falls
started by failing three times on at
tempted forward passes. Mitchell
gained the ball, but two final fumbles
were disastrous. The team played as
if deporalized and Sioux Falls held
the advantage. Finally, Grant smash
ed through for the fourth touchdown
of the game. Hawley failed at goal
and the score ended, 10 to Z.
