The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-07-04

gave the Ddl 10 Butte on uONfnf.
Butte opened with a quarterback kick
for 10 yards. Arlett got the ball and
back two yards. Smith gained six
unassisted. through left guard
and tackle. Arlett annexed three yards
and Edmondson hit the line, but
lost ground, and the half came to an
end.
After a ive-mlnute rest the second
half opened by Benson kicking IL yards.
Instead of punting. he tried the ruse OF
merely kicking a %grounder for one of
his men TO fall on. which was done by
PARROT. BY a misconception of the rules
IL was held that the ball on a kickoff
belongs to the opponents Of the team
kicking unless one of the opponents
touches the ball. and it is Their secured
by the team kicking. on this construc-
tion. and the claim that Anaconda did
not touch the ball. II was given to the
visitors.
This was another instance in which
Butte got the worst of the decision.
Captain Benson read the rules provid-
ing that II the ball on a kickoff goes 10
yards and Is secured by the team kick
ing. 1t is their ball. but the referee
stuck to his decision, which was erron-
eous II either event, as McHugh clearly
mufYed the ball.
Mcmillan made 10 yards In a perfect
wrestling match. Theirkauf tried cen
ter for no gain. Mcmillan plunged in
to the line under a blind signal, but was
down without a gain by a superb tackle
by Slater. Mcmillan annexed FIVE yards
through guard and tackle, and McHugh
FIVE more through the same place. Then
came another sensational play. Nc
MILAN broke through guard n tackle
and was %sprinting for goal, and il
looked as though he could not be TAX
en-. but Harrington got in his way and
stayed his progress sufficiently to en-
able Dygert to come from behind and
down him before he could get started
again after breaking loose from Har-
rington. Anaconda gained 20 yards In
the run. Fitzpatrick hit the line for
no gain. and Mcmillan did the anne.
giving the ball to Butte on downs, on
Anaconda's 2o-yard line.
In a false buck Sullivan for Butte
went round right end for five yards.
and in a mix-up which followed the ball
rolled out OF the bunch of kickers and
was snapped up by Dygert. who cir
cled the end and sprinted away for 25
yards. being downed by Sullivan Of An
aconda in a pretty tackle. Dygert
gained two yards. Harrington was
blocked in a center play, but hit 1t
again for five yards. following 1t up by
going around left end for 10 yards.
Again lutte got a bad decision. The
umpire did not see the play, n When
told by an Anaconda man the runner
had gone out of bounds, Butte was de-
prived of the gain. Dygert hit the
line for five yards. Harrington for two,
and a moment later Harrington went
around the end for FIVE more. sullivan
gained two yards. Harrington one ana
Sullivan four more. but was set back
for play after the whistle had blown,
and the ball went to Anaconda on
downs. Mcmillan got eight yards
through the line. Arlett five. when a
tumble gave the ball back to Butte.
Slater tried the line but was forced
back by Oliver and lost five yards. Ben
son kicked on a line and Fitzpatrick
got the ball. oliver made another star
run around the end. making 20 yards
before being downed by Dygert and
Harrington. Arlett made two yards and
Mcmillan four. Arlett got a run, after
which Mcmillan fell and made no gain.
He secured two yards in the next try
and the ball went I, Butte, but was
! lost again on downs before the neces-
sary five yards were gained. McHugh
fumbled. and, Slater falling on the ball,
il came back to Butte, only TO be given
back to Anaconda on an alleged on
side play.
Anaconda then took the ball and was
never stayed till the ball was carried
over the line for n second touchdown
by Arlet.
Mcmillan kicked a goal, making the
score 10 to 0 in favor of the visitors
| leaving only two minutes for play, and
Butte was unable to accomplish any
thing in that time.
Following was the lineup Of the two
teams:
