However, by taking these four lettermen, Petrich, Woodle, Soelzer, and Snoddy, and picking the rest from a small reserve, Coach Rudolph Lanto built up a small but fast eleven. Although defeated early in the season by the Cobblers, the Sturgis team displayed a fighting spirit which was never lacking throughout the season. Continuing to progress, they ended a highly successful season by conquering the Belle Fourche Broncs, 14-O. This victory gave the Scoopers a record of one game to the good, two tied, and three lost, setting them up in fourth place in the conference standings with Hot Springs, Belle Fourche, and Newell. Petrich, halfback, was named on the All Conference team of the Hills, while Soelzer, fullback, and Ellefson, end, received honorable mention. At a banquet given by the city com ercial club, Coach Lanto named eleven lettermen, seven of whom will graduate this year.
