la was in the midst of a storm belt yes
terday the clouds began to clear away
this morning, and when the game was
called at p. IN. the sun was shining
bright and warm. 1t was an ideal foot
ball day. The Agricultural college team
arrived in the city on Thursday even
ing, accompanied by DR.. f. w. Trap
hagen, professor of chemistry who is
manager of the team. This morning the
members of the team visited the Uni
versity and a short convocation was
held in their honor. Several short, i'm
promptu addresses We're made and the
assembly room echoed and re-echoed
with the college yells
Before the game much speculation
was lndulged in as to which team would
be victorious. The strength of each
was an unknown quantity. Of the Uni
versity team only one man of the pres
ent team played last year, and from
the Agricultural college four men are
new. Each had won game before the
game to-day, and each was hopeful as
to the result to-day.
Although the game was gotten up on
snort notice a large crowd of spectators
greeted the teams when the play began.
The crowd was good natured and en-
thusiastic and cheered every good play.
1t was brilliant and hard fought
game from start to finish, every player
putting snap and ginger into his work
Which ever side had the ball usually
made gains, the interference being
good. Only once did there occur a fail
ure to stop the ball, when the brilliant
run was made that won the game the
only goal of the game.
~
good runs and long kicks-the delight
of an audience and the dismay of
players.
The Agricultural college plays the
Helena Juniors tomorrow. The return
game with the University will be play
ed at Bozeman Thanksgiving, and will,
no doubt, be a hot contest. Both teams
will work hard during the interval, the
University to recover what they have
lost, the Agricultural college to hold
what they have gained. The players in
both teams are bona fide students, no
others being allowed to play in the
games between those two institutions.

lows:
