Undaunted by their first adverse break. the Kernels annexed the ball immediately in the second half and started a second ublitzkriegf' This time the crashing guns of Mitchell again came within the shadow of the goalposts. Halted at the six-inch line, the vastly im- proved Kernel team fought a determined game and outgained the Tigers 162 to 153 yards. ' Aberdeen fathers were given a present at the high school's MDadis nightii when the Eagles humbled the Mitchell Kernels in a 28 to 2 rout.

A punt by Carlson, Aberdeen back, bounced off the field giving the Kernels an automatic safety worth two points.
