High School Trounces Huron
Ashamed of their 6 to 7 defeat at
WATERFOWL several weeks ago and
showing the results of Jimmie" Lock
harris coaching, Brookings high went
into the Huron game on State field
last Friday and came out with the
long end of a "a to 0 score. The Brook
ings high school football team REDEEM
ed itself last Friday. Playing the best
defensive game seer on State field in
ytdlO - III ioCdlo gave ulo ho CuduCt
at any point in the game and never
was their goal in danger.
Wexler, Kennard, Severson and Sim
mons exhibited rare flashes of form
in carrying the ball and five times
crossed Huron's goal. The large
crowd was thrilled time after time by
many spectacular plays and in no de
partment of the game was Huron su-
perior to Brookings. Stars of the con-
test were numerous. Wexler, by his
elusive, open-feld running and with
good Interference from his teammates,
gained the most ground for Brookings
while on defensive johnnie" Alton
spilled play after play for Huron be-
fore they were fairly started. Kennard
played his usual heady game at half
and Simmons piloted the team in a
faultless manner while Captain Sever
son at full played one of the greatest
games of his career.
Huron's linemen frequently broke
through and spoiled the locals plays
and Holton at right end was an insur-
mountable barrier.
Wexler Gets First Score
Brookings defended the east goal
and Huron kicked off to Severson who
brought the ball back to the center of
the field. After advancing to Huron's
35-yard line the locals lost the ball to
Huron on downs. The visitors were
unable to gain an inch in three trials
and punted to Simmons who raced
back to the 40-yard line. Stevenson
broke loose for a 25-yard gain and two
more downs advanced the ball to
Huron's 15-yard line. Wexler, lodging
and squirming past his tacklers, raced
around left end for the first touch
down of the game. Severson failed on
the kick-out and the score stood at 6.

Brookings kicked off and the Huron

only six yards in three trials and Hol-
ton punted to Simmons. Brookings

on the second down Wexler broke
away for a 35-yard run. Brookings
was unable to gain in the next four
downs, however, and Huron took the
ball on their W 25-yard line. After
failing to gain in three downs they
punted to Simmons, giving the ball to
Bookings in the center of the field.
