A VICTORY FOR BUTTE.
The Business College Defeats The Helena
High school Team.

Special Dispatch 10 the Standard.
Helena, Nov. 24-The football game
to-day between the Butte Business col
lege and the Helena high school elevens
resulted in a victory for Butte by
score of 5 to o. Two 35-minute halves
were played before a fair-sized crowd.
Don Hopkins and Sam Goodman alter
mated as referee and umpire. while r.
w. Beattie. jr., was time-keeper. The
gridiron was heavy, having been re-
Gently graded. Butte kicked of and
had things largely their own way in
the first half, scoring the only point
made in the game, a touch down.
Not until the second half did the Hell
ena boys begin to play. During the first
half they appeared to be scared. In
the early part of the second half, the
home team got down to business and
come within six inches of a touchdown
after a series of clever plays. They
were unable to make the game by half
a foot and lost the opportunity OF the
game. Some exciting plays were made
and altogether the game was quite live
ly. In one of the mix-ups. Royles OF
the Buttes sustained a sprained ankle.
otherwise there were no injuries record

A disagreeable feature OF the game
that came near putting a permanent
stop to it. was the persistence of the
audience in crowding around the play
ers. The crowd was continually in the
way and stubbornly held it's ground in
the face of efforts to force IL back An

stop the game finally had affect of par

game. and the best feature Of the en-

Chicago, Nov. A.-The Western foot
ball championship goes to Michigan. On
a field that was simply perfect for fast
football and before a crowd of fully
1000 the maroon of Chicago went down
before the maize and blue of Michigan
to-day by a score of IL to IL. Michigan's
score represents two touchdowns. goals
being kicked in each instance. Chicago
made one touchdown, a goal and a goal
from placement. The reversal OF form
shown by the Michigan men since they
barely succeeded in defeating North
western was something remarkable.
The Michigan line. in which big holes
were torn by the light Western team,
was simply impregnable to-day, with
the exception of about 10 minutes in the
second half, when the Chicagos' with
defeat staring them i'm the face. push
ed their opponents aside with apparent
ease.
The styles of play adopted by the two
teams were altogether different. Mich
igan. with the exception of one or two
double passes, relied almost altogether
on straight football. line bucking and
runs around the end. Chicago, on the
contrary, used trick plays throughout.
