HAD TO FIGHT TO DO IT

1t is bad news for the friends of the
High school football team that comes
from Missoula. The heavier university
team, reinforced by it's coach, won the
big game there yesterday after a hard
fought battle. The following special
dispatch from Missoula tells of it:
Missoula, Oct. 2S.-Anaconda' IS High
school team went down in defeat this
AFTERNOON before the boys of the state
university team. The score was l.
to and every point was made in the
first Is minutes of the playing.
Cleveland, the university coach, play
ed with his team and both touchdoWns
and goals were the results Of the two
long runs that he made in the hrst III
minutes of the game. Anaconda shen
stiffcned up and by series OF rushes
and some hard bucking forced the ball
over the opposing line. LaPolnte, now
ever failed to kick the goal. From
the time the ball kicked by LaPointe
sailed under the bar and missed a goal
there was not a score made by either
team. Each team was weak on defen-
siye play. Marcy. Mccormick and
Heckler did the best interference work
for the university team and LaPointe,
showing for the Copper City boys.
The features of the game were Coach
Clevelands two long runs in the be-
ginning of the game. They made the
university score and We're loudly cheer
cd. The attendance at the game was
small. 1t was a university crowd, ana
a man who ventured to cheer an Ana
conda play was certain to become I'M
popular. But there were few who did
it. 1t was the cleanest game ever
played on the Missoula grounds. There
was no wrangling and no time lost iii
disputes. The university boys haze
made great improvement under Mr..
some of the tricks of the game that
counted to their advantage.
1t was one of these clever tricks that
cost Anaconda 10 yards in the second
half for off side play. Cleveland tried
another dodge and the crowd thought
that he had made a touchdown but it
did not work, and he had to bring the
ball back to where it belonged. But
it was all done good-naturedly and
there was no rough play in the entire
game.
University had the kick off. Ana
conda advanced the ball to its 25-yard
line and then lost on a tumble. Uni
versty just saved her distance on three
downs Then Cleveland went around
Anacondas right to within a few feet
of the line. The ball was then forced
over and Cleveland kicked a goal.
Score, 6 to O. Time, minutes.
Anaconda then kicked off and Uni
yersity had the ball on her own 15-yard
line Cleveland then made another
run around the right end for % yards.
Then the University gained four and
one-half yards on two downs. This
was followed by a run around the right
end, which was lamentably weak. This
run resulted in a touchdown for Uni
Sersity and Cleveland kicked another
goal Score, II to 0. Time, 10 min
uteS.
Anaconda kicked off again at 2:40.
This time it was kicked away from
Cleveland. Heckler got it, but fumbled,
and Anaconda had the ball. By success
sVc gains of two, five and then two
and one-half yards Anaconda bucked
the ball through University's center
Then there was a half-back kick for
five yards, which Heckler fumbled,
Anaconda retaining possession of the
ball. Anaconda then forced Bernier
through the center for u yards. Two
and a half and three yards followed.
The last gain promised to be big one.
but Marcy was in the way and stopped
Anaconda's rush. Then by steady line
work first at center and then at left
tackle Anaconda forced the BAH across
the line for a touchdown. LaPointc
made a good line kick, but it was too
low and it was no goal. Score, u to ),
Time. 20 minutes.

bah and ran 20 yards when he was
stopped by a pretty tackle by Heckler
