large and thick coat of whitewash to
IL young gentlemen representing the
Helena High school.
The game was witnessed by a large
and unusually enthusiastic crowd and
the fiuttering ribbons. spring bonnets
and gay costumes gave the field very
animated appearance. Red and blue
ribbons predominated to the extent OF
about 20 to 1, and the few purple and
gold colors that were worn by local
friends of the visiting team were torn
OF and trampled in the dust at the
close Of the game.
The contest was almost too one sided
to be interesting. as Is shown by the
score of rs to in favor of the home
team. The Helena boys were clearly
out of II almost from the start. ana
there was never a moment during tne
entire game that they stood any show
of winning while they succeeded only
In getting anywhere dangerously near

The game was remarkably free from
taccidents and injuries, and the only
unpleasant feature was the CLOUDS OF
