M|SSOULA SCHOLARSHIPS ARE BEATEN
BY SUPERIOR WEIGHT OF VISITORS
Plucky Little Locals OutpIay Their Heavy Antagonists
Although the Final Score Stands IS to in
Butte High Schools Favor---Ends
in Good Feeling.

Playing against almost overwheim-
ing weight and seemingly hopeless
odds. the Missoula high school
achieved what was. to all practical
purposes. victory over the visitors
from Butte on Montana field yester-
day afternoon. The final score
which stood "A to i'm favor of the
visitors. does not tell the real story
OF the game. So far as real foot
ball Is concerned the Missoula team
played rings around its antagonists
and had their weight been anywhere
near manageable the score would have
been all the other way. Time and
again the Missonlians demonstrated
their ability to hold and even send
back the smoky city lads az long AZ
they stuck to the open style IF play
and time and again did their speedy
backs or ends 60 down the field for 10,
Ii. or 20 yards. Missnuln carried the
ball total Of 31o yards. as compared
10 lsa yards on the part Of Butte. but
heavy penalties and inapnertnne blum
dsrs made this work Of no avail.
Butte would time and again get the
hall by some accident just as Mis-
souia seemed about To put IL over
the goal line and with gains OF three.
four and five yards would send 1t
down the field.
Day Is Star.
As far as individual! playing Is con-
cerned Day showed most brilliantly
for the locals. lie tackled like de-
mon his interference was perfect and
every time he was tried. for gains Of
five yards and more. Peterson. ows-
ley, Minnerly and. In fact. every
member of the team. played a SEN
sational game. The little eleven is
so perfectly organized that individual
work is almost lost sight of i'm the
team play.
'Shanty. House showed particular
III well for the visitors and, while he
did not live up to his reputation az
the best quarterback In Montana out
side of Bishop. he played good
game He punted well and ran inter
ference wonderfully. but his general
ship was poor and his work lacked
snap The work of the whole Butte
team was slo, and ponderons and
its weight was ail that saved IL.
