Later in the same canto, the Mitchellmen's defense stiffened to throw back another Arrow threat. Gaining the upper hand in the second half after repelling smaller Arrow thrusts. the Kernels drove to the Vlfatertown 20 where a fumble downed Kernel hopes. Again driving into Watertown territory in the final minutes of the game the Quintalmen found their way to the opponents' 40-yard line. Mitchell's annual homecoming apple-cart was upset by Brookings as Coach Lynnis Bob- cats sprang to a 13 to 0 victory. 1n the first few minutes of play. the Ker- nels displayed a surprising amount of power as they smashed their way deep into the enemy territory only to be thwarted and held scoreless throughout the entire encounter. Combining a penalty and a running pass Trautman Johnston from Billings to Hansen, Brookings marked up its first touchdown. Mitchell attempted to counter by resorting to reckless aerial at- tacks, but the attempt was halted when the half ended. Playing its best in the third quarter with Miller and Gilbert bearing the brunt of the drive, Mitchell drove from Mitchell's 23 to Brookings' 29. ln the first play of the last canto, Billings returned a punt 61 yards for the Bobcats' second pointer. Niklason added the extra point on a fake kick play. During the closing minutes of play, Mit- chell's eleven resorted to a desperate air at- tack in an attempt to overcome the Brookings lead. Engaging in their second out-of-town game. the Quintalmen were smothered under the spirited attack of the Madison Bulldogs to the tune of 13 to O. Madisonis first touchdown came as the re- sult of a fumble on Mitchell's 20-yard line and'a demonstration of offensive power. A 14--yard forward pass from Fynn to Norton resultedxin the first score.
