TEAMS Confident
HOW THE TEAMS SIZE UP
the Missoulss Are Relying Upon Their
Superior Weight and Importance.
Totally Different Styles
OF Play.

The University Of Montana football
team leaves Missoula at 5 this evening
and will arrive in this city at II. They
bring Is men. including Starlight. coach.
manager and half back. Professor
Rice. manager. and Captain Hopkins of
the Business college team. which Is TO
meet the "'varsity's" tomorrow. will
meet them at the depot and escort
hem to the McDermott. where they
will put up during their stay In Butte.
As soon as possible after their arrival
there will be q meeting OF the mana
gers and captains to decide upon the
oficials and any other details which
may present themselves. The time of
the game has been definitely arranged.
The whistle will be blown promptly at
$50 p. m.
Both teams are confident Of victory.
the home team relying a good deal or
the showing they made against the Wis
itors last year. when they beat them
rather badly. and still more on the fact
that every man. with perhaps one tx
ception. Is ar old player and knows the
game from A to z. The Missouls boys
count on their superior weight. on the
fact that Searight is playing with
them and on their added experience
since last season.
Their trust In Searight IL not un-
f~ounded-he made his reputation
against the best and biggest men the
" California universities could mus
ter and against as light q line as the
Business college will have against him.
he should nearly be invincible. Pro-
fessor smith at center will be another
of the visitors standbys. He is an ex-
Cornell player and was the originator
Of football at the university. He Is
a short, stout man and Mould give his
opponent all he can do to handle him.
Royles. who has that business in hand
for the college team. is one Of the best
Junior centers in the state, and will un-
doubtedly make a good match for him.
At guard. Missoula has Miller n
Flynn at $50 and 165 pounds. respective
ly. They are both new men. but show
great promise, n nde Searights
coaching play like veterans. Against
them Butte has Broderick and Mcleod.
two OF the best men on the team for
defensive work on the team. Broderick
Is a good, low tackler and stops his
man like a stone wall. McLeod's best
work is in his defense. although he also
runs excellent interference. He charges
very quickly and with a force that Is
irresistible against a man OF his weight
At tackle the IT,. of M. has Ward, Tap
tain, 1855 pounds, n Latimsr. 40
pounds. Outside of Starlight, Ward
probably ranks with Professor Smith
as the two best players on the team.
Latimer is heavy and fast and has had
"a years experience NJ the game. Fer
the college team Foley, Kitto and Por-
ter are in the field with but little
choice between them. although the
ina lineup will see Foley and Kitto in
the positions. The former has had con-
siderable experience and Is also a very
pOnd tapElar KIM although a new
man, Is rapidly becoming one of the
best ground gamers on the team. He
is low and fast and grasps the game
very readily. Porter Is a good man and
car replace guard, tackle or center
with but little loss. For ends the U.
of NJ. has Grain, 1885 pounds. Ebert. 100
pounds. both last years men. The lat
ter especially distinguished himself by
his gritty playing against hard inter
ference. The Business college has
warde. Griffin. Wright inc Van wart
They are all four good runners n
tacklers. and while the two first will
hold the positions, the two last named
will probably be called in on the first
symptoms of weakness on their
part. Back of the line Missoula
holds a very strong combination in
Starlight. 160 pounds. Kennett. 40. and
Hegfrome. las. 1t is here that the prin-
cipal danger for the home team exists.
InCy II all COfHpdIdtlNci HtdNy Hnth
and II they run well together. will be
very dificult to stop without gain. The
Business college has three very good
men Of a different order, Sullivan, Hop
kins and Nadeau. Sullivan is too well
known to need any mention, except a
slight note of warning to the opposing
ends. Hopkins likewise has played
long and well. Nadeau is the line buck
er of the team. Strong and wiry. he
puts every muscle into his plunge and
II he cannot make ground for his team
there is no use Of any n else's trying.
At quarter, Missoula has Heckler at
105 pounds. the lightest man on the
team. He Is quick and sure and very
useful on the defense. The home team
has three very good men to choose
from. and will probably try them all
during the game. Mclean is probably
the best all around player of the three.
He passes well n is a little quicker
than his competitors. Gum will come
next in line. He passes almost equally
with Mclean and car get quicker work
out OF the team than N of the 9TH
ers. O'Brien has had less experience
tha neither of the others. but the end
of the season will probably find him
running them both a very close race.
Beside the above mentioned. there IL
also Boyer as an alternative for full
back. He is a strong runner with the
ball and n Of the best tacklers on
the team.
The two teams will probably illus
trate two totally different styles of
play. The u. Of NJ. with their heavy
backs. will stick to line bucking. while
the Business college. with their light.
fast backs and two fine running ends.
will use the more open style of play.
