Montana's 30yard line, where the
Butte giants received their first check.
Fitzpatrick tried the line, but was
stopped by Slater without a gain, and
a moment later Griffin failed in q SIM
liar attempt. Butte had made the ne
cessary five yards On the first down,
however, and retained the ball.
Fitzpatrick gained q couple of yards
through left guard and tackle, and

and Griffin got a yard and half

hat ,tay a -
in the dumps, and thought 1t was all
off. The ball was quickly put in pay
again, and Benson kicked to Butte's 10
yard line, and here was where Forvil-
ly availed himself of the opportunity
to make spectacular play. He gath
cred in the ball and started in under
Grittin's interference, but he did not
get far when Griffin encountered a
sturdy Montanan and thereafter For
Willy had to go 1t alone. He was equal
to the emergency, and, turning, ran
completely around the opposing team
and it seemed certain that he was out
for a touchdown, but Sullivan over
took him and with a mighty tackle
brought him down just out of bounds.
He had, however, covered the full SO
yards back to the center Of the field
! The ball was carried in Is yards and
put in play and Butte made steady
gains to Montana's 30-yard line, where

ing at this stage, but matters soon took
on different face Benson retired
Wilbur at right tackle and put Bud
Jones in his place. He substituted Bob
Ellis for Paustian at right guard and
put Mickey Harrington in at left half

Benson's spectacular line bucking.
There was no gain in the first lineup
and Brahm only succeeded in getting
through for a couple of yards in the
next. Something had to be done to
save the ball, and Benson made a
quarterback kick of 10 yards. Mickey
Harrington ran in and fell on the hall
out of bounds, but it had been touch
ed by Trilby Davis before going over
the side line, and the ball was pre-
served to Montana.
In the next lineup Brahm assault
ed the line for five yards and minute
later pierced the center like a javelln
and planted the pigskin seven yards
