Now for the Championship
Again ~Brookings' football teams are
winners. And the local teams have yet

By defeating Redwood Falls. Mimi,
I 10 0 last Saturday on their home
grounds the Brookings high school
team can be considered one of the
strongest high school football teams
in the Northwest. Redwood Falls is a
claimant to the state championship of
Minnesota and should the locals win
the South Dakota championship they
will be known as the Dakota-Minne-
sofa champions.
In past years State College and
Yankton College have been strong
rivals in football and each team won
the majority of their games on their
home grounds. The tables turned last
Saturday, however. Yankton suffered
the worst defeat in her history at
Yankton on that day when State piled
up 70 points to her 0. incidentally it
was the largest score eve made by a
State College team.
Win in Last Four Minutes
The high school game at Redwood
Falls was one holly contested and not
until the last four minutes of play did
Bookings win the game. The teams
were evenly matched and the ball ee-
sawed back and forth across the field
for ffty-six minutes of playing, with
Bookings on the aggressive and hav-
ing slight edge on the M~innesotans.
Things began to look as if the game
would end in a tie when Severson, the
Brookings captain, plunged through
the Redwood Falls team to within
striking distance of the goal. On the
next play Wexler placed the ball
across the line in a wide end run for
the much desired touchdown. Ken
nard kicked goal and the score 7 to 0
is the result of the game.
Coach Gillespie used only his regu-
lar lineup and made no substitutions
during the game as the Redwood Falls
team is the strongest by far the locals
have met this season. Aberdeen will
be played at Brookings next Saturday
and should prove an easy victim as
they have been defeated this season.

Pierre and will be decided on Thanks

the state capital.
The State-Yankton Game
In the State-Yankton game the locals
played the brand Of football which will
bring to Brookings the championship
of the Dakotas. Every man on State
team played his position and out-play-
ed his opponent. Yankton was unable
to make first down during the entire
contest, and had the ball in
States territory. On defense, States
tackles and ends repeatedly broke
through to spoil Yankton's plays in
the making, while on offense the backs
ran splendid interference, and were
quick to see and utilize the holes,
most of the plays going TO the safety
before being stopped. Eleven times
they were not stopped quick enough,
which, with six goals from touch
downs, accounts for the 72. Yankton's
plays usually did not get started right,
which accounts for the 0.
The game was played on the Yank-
ton athletic field, which because Of
rains the preceding day and the day of
the game, was practically a sea of
mud. The size of the score is an ex-
cellent indication that Coach Ewing
is bringing his squad into prime con-
dition for the heavy games of the next
few weeks. The team showed great
improvement over that which beat
Huron on the preceding Saturday.
