N OF the strongest teams in the West,
and this in spite of the fact that Dead
wood has no past reputation as a club.
II must be remembered i'm this connec-
ton that the first year Butte sprang
into prominence In football circles she,
too. had no past reputation, excepting
a couple of crushing defeats admins
tered by Nebraska.
In spite OF the proximity of the game.
the lineup of the home team can only
be given even as a probability as yet.
There is a possibility hat Jim Hoop
err Will be unable to play. as he inJur-
ed the muscles Of his neck two years
ago and in last Sundays practice re-
ceived a severe wrench i'm the same
place, which may result In his attend
ing the game simply as a spectator.
In view Of this contingency. Hugh Per-
ham. who is in Ogden. has been tele-
graphed for and should arrive Friday,
at the latest.
II liz settled that Comstock, Bean and
Davis will form the right wing at guard
tackle n end. respectively. and IL is
here that most of the effective work.

both experienced players, the former

200 pounds and will meet McKeller of
the Deadwood team Nick eller, coach.
manager and left guard. weighs 225
pounds and has had years of football
experience. Two years ago he visited
Butte with the Lincoln team m the
home boys found him hard TO handle
when the team was at it's best.
Bean will endeavor to keep 175 pounds
under the name of G. Jouletz from ac-
tive participation in the game. n as
Jouletz Is a new man n has only
four or five pounds the best of IL, ought
to be moderately successful.
Davis has about 10 pounds the best
of his opponent. Fletcher, but the lat
ter has had a great deal more expert
ence at end. He played me for Simp-
son college for two years and held the
same position with the Des Moines Ath-
letic club for one season.
At center La Blanc for Butte Will
probably be the most severely and
capped. His opponent. +. Russell. tips
the scales at 215. while he can only
boast OF 40 pounds. They are both
comparatively new men. Russell having
learnt the game at Deadwood last sea-
son and La Blanc having first played
center this year.

who is another Deadwood product. He
weighs 1870 pounds and even in case
Hooper should not play. Hugh Perham
should be able to take ample care Of
him. unless he be a ''phenom" OF the
Slater type.
Left tackle will be filed for Butte by
either Dooley, Paustian or Maloney. al
though the last named has practiced
more for the guard position.
Dooley Is a quick. strong. active fell
low with plenty Of action. but little ex-
perience. Paustian has had more exper-
fence. but Is 10 pounds lighter. IL would
be hard to choose between them. Ma
loney is more sturdy and has less ac-
ton. He Is much better fitted for guard
or center. One OF these three will have
to do battle with the heavier of Dead
woo tackles. l.. Parker weighs 100
pounds and has a considerable exper-
fence. having played the same position
at Ann Arbor and at the Michigan
School of Mines. Through him and
through center will probably be Butte's
chief danger.
Left end Is still a doubtful PROPOSE
tion. Dan Mckinnon is probably the
applicant. He weighs about
l55 pounds, but Is very strong and plays
