dahal and wife, $. A. Martin and wife.
James II. Gallagher and wife. Mrs
Donald Gillis, Mrs. George Mcmillan
and the Misses Mcdonald. After the
game 1t was conceded by all present
that no other pigskln battle that had
ever taken place in san Francisco con-
tanned so much real snap. IL was a
battle from start to finish and although
the Buttes came out victorious every
inch of ground was contested In an adj
mirablc manner by their opponents.
The principal fault In the playing OF
the Olympics was their high tackling.
Very few fumbles were made by either
side.
In the tossup for positions, the Olym-
pies won and took the uphill end so
that In the last half they would have
the best of II. Stickney. who is ac-
knowledged as the best puntcr on the
coast, kicked off for Olympic and sent
the ball 20 yards to renson. Butte soon

ney kicked II to Laswell and few min
utcs later. just seven In fact from the
time OF the first kickoff. Mcmillan ear
ried 1t over Olymplc's end line and
scored touchdown, This was accom-
plished by n series Of quick hard
rushes by Butte. Laswell then placed
the finishing touches on the job by
kicking a goal. During the remainder
of the first half the work consisted OF
punts. rushes and runs, each side get
ting the hall by turns. and handling II
to best possible advantage. The pig
skin. however, was covered with blood
that had dripped from the laceTated
faces OF the players and was hard to

All the members ~ the Butte team
worked In perfect harmony and were

from his nose and mouth and at times
he tottered like a drunken man, he
pluckily remained In the thickest Of the
fray. because there was no else 10 take
his place.
After the game. Manager Mcmillan
