Up With Victory
Huron Defeated so to 0; Lost
Only One Game During
Season; Elect Sharp Cap
tain.

Brookings high school closed one Of
in its history on Thanksgiving day
with a SO to 0 defeat of Huron high
school in the local gridiron. The
schedule was heavy throughout, play
ing such teams as Clark, Pierre, Madi-
son, Watertown, Sioux Falls and Pipe
stone, and the only upset came when
Sioux Falls secured a n to 0 victory
in a hard fought game. While unable
to claim the state championship title,
it is given a place among the four best
teams in the state, and has the I'M
disputed championship Of this district.
Brookings has a place on all myth
lea all-state selections and honor lists
prepared to date. Whalen has the
fullback position on the Argus-Lead-
er's all state team, and Sayre is placed
at end on the second team. In the
honor list prepared by Coach Wood of
Sioux Falls, Carlisle is given special
mention as a clever and powerful quar-
terback, while Whalen and Sayre are
also mentioned.
At the annual football banquet, Ole
Sharp, ~Brookings star center, was
elected captain of the 1928 football
team. The prospects for next year
are very good. Coach p. A. Nicholson
has done exceptionally fine work in
developing a football team this fall
and the results of his training will
show more next year than it did this
season.
The Thanksgiving game was played
on a wet heavy field with a strong,
cold wind blowing, making it disagree
able for both players and spectators.
The first half was featureless, with
Brookings unable to make much head
way. The only score in the half came
when Sayre intercepted a forward
pass and raced fifty yards down the
field for a touchdown. The second
half was a different story. Bookings

State Captures

Creighton Defeated in Decis-

Furnished Big Thrill.

The South Dakota state college

conference as a result of their victory
over Creighton university en- Thanks.
giving day at Omaha by a score Of "a
to IA. Creighton and the University
of North Dakota are tied for second
honors in the conference. Through
out the football season Creighton and
State college have had their eye on
the much coveted honor of being the
first football champions of the new
conference which was organized last
winter, and the deciding game was
fought grimly by both teams for that
The game opened with a whirlwind
attack by Creighton which resulted
in a touchdown within three minutes
and gave the affair an aspect of an
easy walk-away for the Hilltoppers.
Right then and there, however, the
Jackrabbits took a brace and the ia
bles were oon turned on Creighton
and a total of twenty-five points we've
piled up as the South Dakota share Of
their scalp. With the ball on States
two yard line, Bondage, Creighton
captain, couldn't gain. State got the
ball and punted to Trevlin, who fun
bled. Schultz scooped up the ball and
was away like a fash running seventy
yards for States first touchdown. The
try for point was missed.
In the second quarter State carried
the ball down to Creighton's 80 yard
line by relentless plunging and from
that point Welch drop-kicked a goal.
This feat is remarkable when it is re-
membered that a terrific wind was
blowing directly across the field dur
ing almost the entire game. A short
time later Schultz another
Creighton tumble in Creighton ter
ritOry. A pass from Welch to Mears
carries the ball over for the second
touchdown. Coffee kicked goal.
'n.the third period State added three

in making another drop kick from the
25 yard line. Creighton then made a
spectacular forward pass from Lane
to Bondage which resulted in a touch
down and heartened the spirits of the
team with a chance yet to win a vic
tory. The game was finally put on
ice by Captain Roberts, playing the
last football game of his college ca
reer, with the most brilliant run of
the entire game when he received a
Creighton punt and ran 65 yards
through the entire Creighton team for
a touchdown. This run was the fea-
ture Of the game and was a fitting eli
max to the career of one of the clever
est and speediest open field runners
that ever graced a South Dakota grid
iron.
A crowd of 5000 fans witnessed the
game in spite Of the intensely dis
agreeable weather. Captain Roberts,
Schultz, Welch and Bob Coffey were
the outstanding stars on the State
college team while, Lane, the brilliant
Creighton quarterback, was the chief
star of the Hilltoppers.
