The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-09-28


teron of future development, the
high school team selected for the
gridiron this year gives promise of
great results.
Every one of the long list now trying
for football honors displays, even at so
early stage as this, the pluck and vim
Of the tried veteran, lacking in nothing
but experience.
All are solidly built, big boned fellows,
the kind Of material that encourages a
coach and captain to put their best eff
forts forward. Seen at practice on the
Stevens addition, Jackson and Mercury
streets, one wakes enthusiastic over the
team work. the primal point in the sue
cess of any football aggregation. Both
in the line and back, except in rare en-
ergencies, of course, star plays are rele-
gated to the back ground. This is the
policy of Coach Cochran, and already it
begins to bear fruit. 81.
Cochran, who will superintend the
coa hing Of the team this year, halls from
Notre Dame ever turned out: he has also
a fine record as Splinter. Altogether
the high school should consider itself
much favored in securing his co-opera-
ton in athletics for the year. DR..
Freund, of the Murray & Freund hospi-
trainer and coach.
Curtis who will captain the team again
this year, is sturdy, wiry young lad,
slightly below the medium in height,
weight about 1870 pounds; he holds the
position of quarter back on the team. Not
an ounce of supernuous flesh belongs to
him. His eyes, alert, snappy, apparent
iy take in every situation at a glance;
his mind acts upon it with unfailing ac-
curacy and good Judgment No better
man could have been selected for the po-
sition.
But four of the old players are back
on the team this year, Early, Mills, Rich
ards and Bliss. Bliss was a substitute
on last years team, but expects to make
good in his position of right half on the
regular this time.
Leslie Farley will take up his old posi-!
ton of left end, in which he did some
exceedingly creditable work last fall.
Herbert Mills assumes his regular posi-!
ton of right guard. His weight is be-
tween lao and $50 pounds, and with
strength. activity and experience in his
favor is undoubtedly the best man for
the place.
The lineup OF the team, while not
yet fully decided upon, will probably
enter the field as follows:
Burt Cohen .......... Center
Herbert Mills .......... ....Right Guard |
matchbox ....... ........... Left Guard
James Adams ........ Right Tackle |

but yet their places are matter Of
