Lead Shows Plght This is the sum and substance of Rapid City's final victory. Coupled with some costly fumbles on the part of the locals, and the greatest football displayed by Lead in the Black Hills this year, the Gold Miners uncorked a beautiful march down the field and were not stopped until they reached the five yard line from the Rapid City goal. Coach Cobb's charges then applied the brakes and never again during the conflict was the red and white goal In danger of being crossed.

Davis, of Lead, swings around right end for a good gain and the visitors make first down. The Miners then resorted to several line plungos for short gain3. It was here that Uecker, Rapid City's stellar half, opened up with the best nlaving of his football career by repeatedly going through the enemy's line and nailing the runner in his tracks. Barrow, quar terback and the shining light for the visitor's, then attempted a drop kidk, which went wide from the costs. Thus ended Lead's opportun ity to cross the coveted chalk line, which would have spelled a touch down.

Captain Bridge then takes tha situation In hand and rips a hole through the line for a good gain. Heacock got into action by picking ud a fumble and dashes lor 10 yards. Lead shows form in tack ling, but Rapid City makes another touch down. In the closing minutes of the first quarter, Captain Bridge slipped over the goal line for the first touchdown making the prettiest run of the game right through the heart of Lead's line for thirty yards.

DeWItt, in the next play, showed form by going through the line and nailing his man.

On a fumble by Hea Sioux Falls Refused Regular Schedule and Mobridge is Unbeaten That a post season football game will not be played between the Rapid City and Sioux Falls high Bchool teams ia the common opinion of Supt. Amos Groethe, Prof. Robert Sbinner and Coach Cobb. The report in the Argus-Leader that Coach Wood, of Sioux Falls had put a proposition before Prof.

Robert Skinner, when the two met during the teachers meeting at Pierre this week, Beems to be somewhat unfounded. Mobridge Still Unbeaten "It is true that Coach Wood, myself and others did talk about the two teams meeting on a neutral field to settle the state championship," says Prof. Bkinner, "but at that time we considered the possible outcome of the Mobrldige-Aberdeen game." Abredeen and Mobridge did not play. As the situation stand3, If Rapid Citl and Sioux Falls were to play, Mobridge would still have a rightful claim to the championship on comparative scores, it Is the opinion of the Rapid City men. Coach Cobb, in expressing his views on meeting Sioux Falls, simply said that he had invited Sioux Fall3 to come here this year on a regular schedule game and it was their turn to do so as Rapid City was down to the metropolis last year.

Again the football season is over and he wants to start his men training for basketball. Cobb is Calm Coach Cobb didn't get very excited over the report that Coach Howard Wood had issued a chal lenge. Both Supt. Groethe and Prof. Skinner are of the opinion that a game now would necessitate the boys neglecting their school work for practice.
