Football is a gentle pastime as COM
pared with polo, if the exemplications of
the two games that have been seen in
Butte are to be taken as criterions. Out
of all the football games that have been
played here, and there have been some
fierce ones, no one was ever seriously
injured, while in the second polo game
of the season two players barely escaped
lasting injuries and both will probably
wear a reminder of the game on their
countenances the rest of their lives.
1t was the second polo game of the
season between the senior and junior
teams of the Butte Polo club, and in
one of the scrimmages Frank Kennedy
fell against the skate of another play
en- cutting a cash i'm his face that will
leave lasting scar and in another mix
up Louis Rosenstein had his head cut
open by being hit with a stick by one Of
the opposing teams. The game wasa red
not one throughout and was won by the
Seniors by a sore of ) to o.
The game was played at the Butte

the field where it remained for some
time, being forced back and forth

After a five-minute rest the second

play Lockhart carried the ball down to
the Junior goal around the right field,
where Phil ellis took it and put it to
goal The referee blew his whistle for

without any delay.
Conway again took the ball and car

failed to score.
The ball was again put in play and
once more Conway took it. This time
he played clever luse on his opponent

sphere, helped him push it over to the
Seniors half back. Lockhart. who
promptly accepted the opportunity, took
the bail from Raymond Then Neil Gil
