Philip Peirce. x Having chiefly speed and determined mate- rial to work with, Coach Peirce practiced the boys in the art of passing and end runs with little emphasis placed on line driving because of the size of team members. Little Kernel determination bowed to the heax y Huron B squad in a 26 to 6 decision in their first game of the season. Witli Huron dominating the field in the hrst quarter the Kernel B's took complete offense, keeping the ball in enemy territory during the second quarter. However, unable to maintain this position they lost the ball to Huron, who marched three times through the Kernels' ter- ritory in the last quarter. Stopped at the lim: Battling experience and more weight, the Little Kernelmen were downed in a one-sided game with Kimball High. The Kimball play- ers covered the field almost unhampered dur- ing the whole game. With some brilliant end runs and passes. they overwhelmed the Ker- nel Bis with a 38 to 0 score. Having lost their first two games, the Little Kernels ucame into the picturew by crushing the Plankinton trainers 24 to 7. Using a varied style of attack to procure long gains, the miniature Kernels chalked up a total of 12 points in the first quarter. Holding the Trainers scoreless until the last quarter, the Mitchellmen scored in the second and again in the fourth. Action was seen by many due to frequent substituting. Half rest

Desperate but effective scrapping on the part of the Little Kernels enabled them to get a featheredge, 19 to 18, top score from Stick- ney in the home team's first tilt here. Dominating the first half of play with an 11 to 7 margin. the Stickney quintet lost a close game as an aggressive attack on the part of the Kernel midgets in the waning min- utes of the game enabled them to snatch vic- tory from the invaders. Following their most recent victory over Stickney, the Little Kernels continued their scoring spree to defeat the Yankton MB squad 23 to 12. Spurred on by a record of two wins in as many starts, the Mitchell ul? squad rushed over the Huron reserves by the score of 28 to 16 as a preliminary to the Mitchell-Huron game. Blasting out with determined vigor in the last half to outscore and outplay a Huron first-half margin, the Kernellettes emerged victors. The Mitchell seconds, incited by their clean slate, galloped 36 to 8 over the Madison MB'7 team as an opener to the Kernel-Bulldog clash. Playing against a weaker Fulton team, the midget Kernels scuttled the Fulton Pirates 34 to 10. 1n a return match with the Madison mid- gets. the Mitchell High Little Kernels dumped the Madison Pups 24- to 6.
