lost the ball. Later the town boys

return punt which was carried over
by Miller, after being on side, for q
for touch down McVicar kicked the

The ball then see-sawed back and
forward punting being one pretty
feature of the game.

ling to the four yard line where Mark
Farmer seized it and rushed across
for a touchdown. McVicor missed
the goal. The half ended with the

The second team went to Pocatello
on Saturday and played the second
team of the Pocatello Schools. This
was the first game for the Scrubs"
In the first half the Blackfoot boys
were "stage-struck. Wright kicked
to Pocatello who by line smashes and
end runs, carried the ball through in
six minutes for touch down. The
goal was missed. Blackfoot received
the kick then and failing to make the
necessary distance, the ball went to
Pocatello on the thirty yard line. In
four minutes Pocatello scored her
second touchdown, but failed to kick
the goal. Blackfoot again received
the kick, and lost the ball on downs.
Her goal was in danger repeatedly,
but Wright always punted safe dis
lance. There was considerable fun
bling, and Pocatello was penalized for
being off-side, and for hurdling as
for an illegal forward pass. The
half ended with the ball on Black
foots forty yard line. Score 100 in
favor of Pocatello. In the second
half the Blackfoot boys played like
tends. A good "raking over the
Goals" during intermission had a
effect. At no time was
the ball out of Pocatello's territory. |
Time and again was Pocatello's goal
threatened. Finally safe
~ was scored by Pocatello's full
pack when Wright punted to the one
Yard line. The score now stod 10 to
;. Pocatello lined up onthe twenty
i've yard line and punted to w. Rich.
3lackfoot then carried the ball to the
yard line, when Wright
lropped back twelve yards and kick
ID beautiful goal from the thirty
I've yard line. With five minuets to
,lay Blackfoot carried the ball, after
hands several times, to the
wenty yard line. Here Wright's
econd drop kick, which was going
rue as an arrow for the coveted place
vas blocked. The game ended with
score of 1916 in favor of Pocatello.
The game throughout was a pretty
Of football, from beginning
o end true and genuine spirit, crisp
nd sportsmanlike prevailed. Both
'lackfoot and Pocatello can well be
roud of the conduct of their second
cams on the gridiron. The amiable
of these schools should be
ustained during contests yet to
ONE. The officials were Morris and
Iungst. Thirty minute halves were
layed.
Basket ball for the boys will be
tarted this week.
