Ut.iW .,,i it' Forty years of football at Kernel Stadium. Leaving Kernel stadium, the next two games found Mitchell at Huron October 17, and at Watertown October 24. Cobb and company threw a monkey wrench into Huron's home- coming by dropping the Tigers 40 to 6. The following week Mitchell ran their streak to six straight, racking up 26 points to Water- town's nothing. Then came homecoming and our reunion. Before a capacity crowd the Kernels felt the sting of defeat for the lirst and last time, bow- ing to Sioux Falls, 28 to 7. The fast-geared T formation attack of the Mitchellites was unable to gain the needed momentum on the muddy field. The Kernels scored in the second period while the heavier Warriors tallied once in every quarter. The following week' the Quintalmen bounced back in the championship game to down a hopeful Yankton team, 20 to 0. The Corn Palace City eleven proved that the Buck's Iron Seven was vulnerable, and the Kernels emerged from the contest E. S. D. champs. The Mitchell B squad, with Art Brooks at the helm, turned in a perfect season, winning three and losing none. In the season opener at Huron, the Little Kernels defeated the Huron Bm squad I3 to 12. They next dropped Howard I9 to 0 at Mitchell, and wound up the season undefeated by tripping Chamberlain 14 to 6. 54 fi A 5 Mitchell High School football squad. Row 1: G. Earls, R. Peterson, R.
