up against ZACH other at Athletic park
to decide the tie which was the result
Of last Sundays contest. The final ar
rangements have all been made and
everything is now ready for the whistle
OF the referee and the thud of the kick
er's foot as he sends the ball sailing
down the field from the kickoff.
The grounds have received their
share of attention and will be in fully
as good shape as they were a week ago,
which was something very fair for
Butte grounds. Inasmuch as the OFF,
Gals gave satisfaction to both teams
last week. they have been requested to
act again in to-day's game. and have
agreed to do SO. D'Gay Stivers will be
umpire. Percy Benson referee, Donald
ellis linesman for Butte and Moulton
hnesman for Deadwood. As the teams
are both in perfect condition full halves
OF 30 minutes will be played with time
out for all delays. Manager Wharton
OF the street railway promises as good.

Both captains. and indeed both teams,
feel confident as regards the final out
come of the game. Deadwood claims
very reasonably that with their weeks
stay here and consequent accustoming
of themselves to the grounds. climate,
etc. they will be able to discount their
former performance.
The following from Manager Keller
summarizes the opinion Of the Dead
wood team as regards their chances Of
victory:
The game to-day between Butte and
Deadwood promises to be a close and
exciting me-. That the Deadwood team
Is capable of playing a close and hard
game has been demonstrated i'm their
last Sundays game. While Deadwood
has lost one of their best men. so also
has Butte, as Mahoney cannot pos
sibly play. Both teams have good men
to put i'm their places. thus leaving the
teams both evenly matched and about
the some as they were I'm last Sundays
game. However. I feel confident Of
success to-day. as I'm our playing sun
day we made two yards to Butte's one.
getting the ball on the 10-yard line and
carrying IT across the field to Butte's
four-yard line and losing IL. only by a
mistake in the downs by Wilson. / am
confident. had the captain known
that IL was the third instead of the
second down, I'VE would have scored a
touchdown and also victory. As we
have only one sub left and williams be-
hind the line. we will play a kicking
game. hoping thus to save our men as
much as possible.
I'm Sundays game Williams didn't
get an opportunity to show his punt
Ing ability. He can certainly hold his
own with the most Of them. The team
has been out practicing hard every
afternoon. The absence of punting was
especially noticeable. The new line men
are making wonderful improvements.
and Deadwood can be depended on to
play a much better defensive game than
they did Sunday.
"Jolitz, who had a rib broken in
Sundays game. Is improving rapidly
m wants to play to-day. but shall not
be allowed to do so. as the chances OF
his getting hurt again are too great"
aptai Hooper was also asked for
an opinion in general as regards the
game. and responded as follows:
Barring accidents and extreme bad
luck ! think the final score will stand
10 or IL to 0 in favor of Butte. / do
not think l am Understanding our OPP
ponents in saying this. as / base II upon
careful observation of the last game.
1t Is true that they made considerable
ground, but II was made slowly and
by only one system OF attack, and that
was by mass plays through the line.
! think with our added experience we
will be able to effectually stop those
plays in to-day's anne And as we
have a larger and more varied assert
ment of plays. we will be much harder
for them to hold"
There Is a small chance that Ma
honev will be able to line up with Butte
to-day. He is much better and Is anx-
ious t. play. but Captain Hooper says
he will abide by the doctors verdict,

the side lines. In this case Bean will
go behind the line and Dooley will play
right tackle. Dooley Is strong, active
and willing and only lacking in expe-
rience. If he keeps cool he has IL in
him to make a reputation which will
earn him a regular place on the team.
Jaswell injured his ankle in practice
Friday evening and consequently Paus-
tian will play left tackle. But by far
the most important change made on
the home team outside Of Captain
Hooper taking his place at left guard
is Brahms going to center. Butte's old
s~nap-back in all the games played by
the old team never once met his super
Tor and only once his equal. His forte
Is a quick. strong charge the moment
the ball moves. and such Is his strength
and activity that he can be depended
upon to make Deadwood indulge in at
least several fumbles during the game.
The loss Of JoIitz bv Deadwood has
necessitated their bringing williams in
from right end To LEFT half and fllins
his place with Etzenberger. Williams.
as Manager Keller states. IL an excellent
punter. n II his line holds should do
some very good execution. But the
fact must be evident. in snite Of this
advantage. that Desdwocd has lost by
Jolitz' injury and that the advent ri
new men into the Butte line has left
the horne team stronger han before. in
spite of the big loss IL sustains in Ma
honey and Laswell.
The teams will line up as follows:

right guard: Keller. left puard: Dono-
van. right tackle: Allen. left tackle:
Etzenberger. right end: Fletcher. left
