men that left Brookings last Saturday
evening for their respective homes at
Sioux Falls and Huron. They decided
they didn't know the first principles of
the game of football, let alone its many
intricacies, SO it Is said.
With the honor of state champion
ship in their respective classes in view,
Brookings' football teams won both
games of a doubleheader at State field
last Saturday afternoon by decisive
scores. The local high school won the
first game from Sioux Falls high by a
score Of "a to 0 while State college
took Huron college into camp in their
first game of the season, 80 to O..
Play Straight Football
Coach Gillespie's men resorted al.
most altogether to straight football in
the high school game, making most of
their gains by end runs. Wexler, Ken
nard and Severson skirted Sioux Falls
ends repeatedly for long gains. running
good interference and warding off
tacklers in a manner that would do
many a college backfeld proud. On
defensive Johnnie Alton, the diminu-
tive left end Of the locals, figured in
almost every play and Sioux Falls was
forced to resort to line smashing when
ever they secured the ball. Few suc-
cessful forward passes were made dur
ing the entire game because of a
strong wind but Brookings High ex-
hibited the best form of straight foot
ball seer on State field in years.
Huron college was clearly no match
for State in the second game, but in
the opinion of a majority of the specta-
tors the game was much slower than
the high school game. The college
men seemed to lack pep" and State
was penalized repeatedly for offside
plays. Coach Ewing used almost all
his second string men in the last of the
game and still State kept up the scor-
ing. From the showing made by the
local college Saturday Bookings foot
ball fans are confident State will make
a strong bid for the championship
this year.
A detailed report of the high school
game follows:
First Touchdown In Two Minutes
Brookings' first touchdown came in
less than two minutes of play. The
locals defended the east goal, Bergh
kicking off for Sioux Falls. Taking the
ball from their twenty yard line the
Brookings backs, Kennard, Wexler and
Severson, carried the ball across the
line by a series of end runs. Kennard
made twenty yards in two runs around
right end, Wexler made t~wenty-six
around left, Severson made ten and
Kennard gained thirteen more around
right. Wexler carried the ball across
the line in a neat end run for the
touchdown and Kennard kicked goal.
Score, Brookings Z, Sioux Falls 0.

Falls, Phipps receiving the ball on the
%thirty-eight yard line. On the next
play Kennard, squirming past tacklers
and with good interference, skirted
right end for a sixty-two yard run and
a touchdown, but the ball was called
back and Brookings given a fifteen
yard penalty for holding. Severson
made twenty.three yards around right
