Victory.
WEAK IN INTERFERENCE
The Bosnian Team Put Up . Desperate
Game and Made . Stronger
Fight Than Ever
Before.

University and Agricultural College
teams saw one Of the best games evei
played In his city. The boys from
Bozeman played a much stronger game
than they hav ever put up before and
fought much more desperately thar
the score would indicate. The team
was the equal Of the university eleven
in all respects except interference. In
this respect they were radically weak
and IL was this weakness that cost
them the game. Their ends n backs
made some magnificent runs which
gave them many bars on the gridiron,
but II was always lost by the weakness
| Of the. interference. When their line
was opposed to that Of the Missoula
boys. 1t invariably went down before
the charges of Latimer OF Miller or
Kenneth or else opened for n Of the
magnificent rushes h a let Allard
through. They fought till h last
whistle blew. but 1t was to no avail.
The score, 16 to o. does not fairly rep
resent the game. The work of the
Boxeman players was good all through
and had II not been for the tendency
Of Peat to make off-side plays and the
several foul tackles in the last half.
their play would a been free from
any blemish aside from the weak In
reference above referred to. Time
after time their backs got h ball and
started down the field. but they were
not properly supported and the gains
thus made were always trifing. The
plays OF full back Jefferson and c. r.
Flaherty for Bozeman were especially
brilliant. They made several magnifi-
cent runs. and had II not been for the
lack of support their gains would have
counted for something. Peat made one
6no run that tnnk the hall IN within
five yards OF Missoula's line. but he
spoiled his record by his subsequent
off-side plays. Fol Missoula, Latimer
and Miller did the best work in the line.
Allard's play at full back was splendid.
and little Heckler was a marvel In his
running and tackling. The team
worked together finely n the inter-
ference work was excellent.
The game opened with Bozeman I'm
possession OF the ball. The kickoff was
a long one. Heyfron caught the a
fairly and advanced II 20 yards before
he was downed. Two rushes followed
that advanced the ball a few yards
more. Then Bozeman got the ball on
a tumble. and IL was snapped back to
Peat, who too II to within 5 yards of
Missoula's line. Heckler made a mag
niicent tackle. Missoula made such a
deliberate stand on the 5-yard line that
the ball was slowly forced back for a
gain of 5 yards. Latimer did yeoman
work in getting through the "aggies' ."
line. Then Heyfron met the ball and
ran around Bozeman's left end for a 30
yard gain. Then the a went back
and forth. one side gaining 5 yards n
hen losing IL. Missoula lost 3 yards on
a foul play. Flaherty then gained Is
yards for Bozeman, and would have
touched down had IL not been for a fine
tackle by Miller. Bozeman tried to get

in the attempt. The ball was then
forced slowly up the field toward Boze-
mans goal. Little Boyle got the ball
for Bozeman and ran half way down
the field before he was downed. Peat,
however. spoiled the play by being on
side again. and the brilliant play count
ed for nothing.
ON the Bozeman 25-yard line there
was another hard struggle. Bozeman
got the ball on a tumble and gained 10
yards. Then Missoula won Jack the
ball OF downs and II was snapped back
to Heckler. who madea quick u and
gave Allard a place kick for goal. The
ball sailed over the heads of the players
and struck one of the goal posts. wob-
bled a bit and then dropped over the
bar just as the timekeeper called the
end OF the first half. IL was a great
play. and Allard was cheered to the
echo.
In the second half Missoula followed
up the kick of so promptly that Heck
Ter had h ball downed before Bozeman
had gained. The Missoula line, with
Latimer. Miller and Aliard as the stars,
steadily forced the ball over the line.
yard by yard. for a touchdown. Allard
kicked a goal. Score. IL to o.
Almost as soon as the ball was In
play again Heckler made a run half
way down the field through the whole
BozemAn line for a touchdown. Allard
failed to kick goal. Score. 16 to 0.
The rest Of the game was a fierce
struggle In h center of the field,
neither side gaining much. Bozeman
lost three times or a foul tackle. This
