voLGA is HAVING A DREAM

In last weeks issue of the Volga
Tribune the following somewhat sur
prising article appeared on the front
page under the caption Of ct Is Time
to Quit"
"Volga and her people have no quar-
rel with the sister city of Bookings or
her people, but it is generally thought
in this city that the time has arrived
for the discontinuance of all athletic
contests between the young people of
the two places. The business men OF
the two cities must do business to-
gether and they do so with very little
or no friction and with the best of feel
ing. The ladies of the two cities
mingle together in lodge, society and
other social functions and the friend
Hest feeling is manifest. The church
societies and lodges fraternize in a
most cordial way. But when it comes
to any athletic contest between the
young people of the two ~places-well,
there is a different story to tell, and
there is always trouble and hard feel
ing which extends beyond the bounds
of their circle and is manifested in
many ways.
1.-THE football game last Friday, an
account if which appears elsewhere
in this issue, has resulted in all kinds
of hard feeling, and it will be a long
time before it wears away. There
were many developments that day that
were not for the good of the two
places. The game was supposed to be
played between the team Of this city
and the Brookings second team, but If
boys from Brookings can be believed,
there were six players in the second
team, who are either regular players
or substitutes of the first team. This
is not the report of Volga people, but
from boys in Brookings. There were a
number of injuries and one Volga boy
had several teeth kicked out by an
opposing player, and it does not look
as though all the injuries inflicted
were accidental.
Zone of the worst features as the
result of these mix-ups, however, Is
the effect upon the State College. AS
everyone knows the Tribune is a loya'
supporter of the State College, but or
account Of these clashes the young PEG
pie of this vicinity rebel against going
there. The high school class for 1915
numbers eighteen, and under ordinary
circumstances at least six of then
should go to the State College next fal
but the probabilities are that none will
go. In fact, the feeling was so stront

Michigan.
But even this didn't satisfy him.
TO make a touchdown from the
kickoff would be a browning glory
and this vas his ambition. Time after
time skinny" has slipped through
tacklers for sixty and seventy yard
ans and ~touchdowns but never from
the kickoff.
His chance came last Saturday at
Watertown in the game with the
North Aggies. During the second
quarter he broke through tackle and
ran 35 yards for a touchdown and at
the beginning of the third period was
in good fighting trim. Nemzek kicked
off and the ball sailed into "Skinney's''
hands and the race began. When
ever a North Dakota tackler doomed
up along came one of the runners
teammates to "spilT' him and he raced
on, lodging, squirming and keeping
one eye always on the goal ahead. AL,
most before he knew 1t he raced
across the line for the coveted honor,
a touchdown from the kickoff, in an
eighty-yard run. A broad smile and

1t is true that there is keen rivalry
in athletics between the two towns and
perhaps it is better they be called off.
Bookings gains nothing by a football
game with Volga high and the game
this year was played because Volga
wanted a practice" game, so the stu
dents say
Why Volga's feeling concerning high
school athletics should extend to State

HIS AMBITION REALIZED

When Cecil Skinner was a small lad
and chased the elusive pigskin around
the backyard at his Bookings home
he thought of what a great thing 1t
would be to play in a real football
game. As he grew older and entered
high school in this city he tried for the
team and made good, and during his
high school days was regarded as n
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1915-11-18

as long as he is a member of the board
of education of this city, he will not
give his consent to any further athletic
contest between Volga and Brookings.
This IS done without i'll feeling toward
anyone, but simply for the best inter
ests of all concerned.
1T is time to quit"
Bookings residents who are ac-
Quainted with the conditions were sur
prised that the Tribune would print
such an article until they had at least
ascertained the facts. When asked
concerning the attack upon Brookings
high athletics, Superintendent j. w.
Browning of the public schools stated
that he deplored the incident as the
Tribone was sadly misinformed on the
first and second team question. Every
man who played football at Volga was
a member of the second team, as the

teams show:
