REGULARS WON THE GAME
First Football Game of the Sea-
son Played Yesterday.
AT MOUNTAIN VIEW PARK
Was a Lively Contest, Although the Jul
niors Were Outclassed-Nsw Rsg-
ular Team Shows Up Re-
markably Well

The first football game of the season
was played at Mountain View park yes
terday. Although it was at first ;nten i
ed for a practice game, the fact tina.
the big team were short their two
guards induced the Juniors to try con-
illusions with them. A raw wind, with
slight furry Of snow, made the at
tendance very small, yet just cold
enough to make good football weather.
The men were delighted with the sod
ground of the park, and falling was
comparatively easy with such soft
4 cushion to land on.
The game was quite young when 1t
was easy to see that the regulars were
too much for their opponents, as inside
of three minutes from the kickoff Kill
roy scored on a buck between guard
and tackle.
Not more than twice during the game
did the Juniors gain more than few
feet. and they repeatedly lost the ball
on downs. With the splendid interfer-
ence from Wilson the backs, Kilroy and
Inman, time and again crossed the Jun
Tors line for touchdown.
Only once was there change in the
one-sided contest, when Lapointe, the
a tumble, dashed through the big line
with a thirty-yard run and scored the
only touchdown for his men. After
playing two twenty-fives no one could
remember how many times the regu-
lars had scored. The touchdowns had
become too numerous to keep track OF.
Wilson of the big team was host in
himself. He was everywhere. Now he
was tearing through the line for big
gains. now lifting back up bodily and
dragging him along for q 10-yard gain
all the while fighting off the opposing
side, who rebounded from him like SO
many rubber balls. OF course it must
not be forgotten that the Juniors were
a light team, and with the superiority in
weight and experience the other men
showed uD very easily.
Keller, the other ex-Deadwood player,
took things easy, but got his man every
time.
REM, last years center. played with
his old-time vigor. Of the new men,
Sullivan and Emmons showed great
promise. the latter particularly distin-
gushing himself by his speed and en-
durance. Story, one of the regular
backs, was unfortunate, Wrenching his
knee badly while practice-kicking be-
fore the game started, and will probably
be incapacitated for some time.
Bernier, at end played good, solid
game.
OF the Juniors, Lapointe, Dupes Gan
ex-All Hallows boy), Anderson and Da-
wilson deserve particular mention for
making the best of an uphill fight. and
it Is not improbable that some of them
will make the big team before the end
of the season.
Jimmie Arlett, the old Reliance quar-
terback, and Story umpired the game to
the complete satisfaction of both teams.
Coach Wilson expresses himself as
being very much pleased at the way
the team showed up yesterday, and says
he is going to have team that will be
hard to beat in this state. ,r,vj
Big Barney Fitzpatrick, who deve1-
oped into a wonder at the end of last
year. has decided to go at 1t again and
will be out to practice this week.
Butte is negotiating for games in the
near future; minor clubs are organ
izing every day, and before long the
savage war cry, the parti-colored
streamer and the big tin bugle will be
abroad in the land
