TIGERS FAIL TO SCORE
West Wind Buckers Swallow
the Striped Aggregation.
GAME is A RED-HOT ONE
TWO Juvenile Teams Play Good Foot
ball at Athletic Park--Score. Eve
to Nothing in Favor of
the Buckers,

To the great surprise of the majority
OF the crowd that attended the football
game yesterday afternoon at Athletic
park, the West Wind Buckers defeated
the Tigers by score of to 0. The
touchdown was scored by Leonard
through his and Heffron's straight
hard line bucking, coupled with two
beautiful end runs by Rhue This
touchdown was made after 20 minutes
of playing in the second half
Inc game was very exciting one
throughout and proved interesting to
the spectators. No attempt whatever
was made at punting, straight plungee
into the center being used entirely.
The defensive playing on both sides
was beautiful and the work of the play
ers showed attentive practice. AL
though the work of the Tigers was neat,
that of the Buckers seemed more har-
monious and their rushes better calcu-
lated.
The first half was a very tame one
and the object of the Buckers seemed
to be to hold the Tigers down. The
word was passed among the latter team
that If the Tigers could be restrained
from scoring in the first half, they
would play reckless game in the sec
ond half and there would be a chance
for the Buckers to score victory. The
Buckers took this hint played great
defensive game and managed to keep
the Tigers from scoring.
In the second half the play was all
in favor of the Buckers and after 20
minutes of hard playing they managed
to score touchdown. When play be-
gan in this half the Tigers went at it
in manner which showed that they
meant to win If any old kind Of playing
would give them a score. few min
utes before time was called La Pointe
was started around the right end and
but for the crowd of spectators which
he had to run through would have cas-
lily gotten over for a touchdown, thus
evening the score. The last minute
and half of playing was marked with
hard playing on both sides, the Tigers
to score and the Buckers to keep their
opponents from scoring. Time was
called with the score to 0 in favor
of the Buckers.
The defensive playing of Showers ana
La Pointe and the work Of Marchon at
guard for the Tigers was strong. The
Tigers depended greatly on Showers
and La Pointe's line bucking which,
considering there was no interference,
was quite remarkable.
The playing of Eddie Shovlin at quar-
ter back was largely responsible for his
teams victory Shovlin had his eye
constantly on the ball and called the
signals fast. His passing was little
short of remarkable and many menu
bers of the regular team who witnessed
yesterdays game stated that his serv-
ices in the big game of a week ago yes
terday would have been useful and
might have given victory to the Ana
conda team. Shovlins swift and sure
work Of yesterday reminded one of Bill
ly HARRISON, who played quarter for
the Reliance team on their first Butte
trip.
Curly" Rhue's interference and Da-
Wis defensive work were features of the
Buckers' game. Leonard, Hebron and
Rhue gained nearly all the ground,
especially the latter. who made two 25-
yard runs in the second half.
Arthur Anderson and P. Trudeau
acted as referees; Bond Rhue as time
keeper, and Sam Mulligan and Joe De-
Zell as linesmen.
The lineup of the teams was as fol-
