,ns the game of their lives, swooned
Ine Montana boys off their feet to tbo
tune Of 30 to yesterday. W '"'
Mon'ana's touchdown, made in the
pISt four minutes of play, seemed 10
eIectrIiy the defenders Of the cardinal
and gold' and from that time on Mon.
'ana was clearly outclassed and ont
played, anu OUT
Although the Montana BOYS ont.
weighed the locals and were merriam,
little faster, they lacked the epdpr-
01ce Sweetland's aggregation DOS
SeSSes' Continually during the second
naIf did the Montana boys take time
out 70 regain their wind, while the
willamette boys continually urged
'hem to play ball, for they clearly had
the visitors outwinded
Opening the game Montana kicked
on and the ball settled for play on tbe
10 yard line Willamette failed to
make yardage and surrendered tbe
ball Montana by line bucks and
plunges succeeded in working the ball
over before four minutes had elapsed
Next play of Importance after kick
OH was when Montana was forced to
punt, the center threw the ball too
nigh passing it over the punter's
head. The ball rolled back to one-balf
yard line and here Montana, rather
than give to Willamette on the one
half yard line carried it across and
touched it down, making a safety
count two points for willamette
Score, Montana 6, W. U.2.
Montana proceeded again to particl-
pate in the scoring when shortly after
the next kickoff she registered three
points on a boot from placement on
the 37-yard line.
Then opened Willamette's scoring
by a succession Of long runs. Erskne
and Francis making the most of the
yardage willamette attained the 90
yard line and from this point Francis
took the pigskln around the end for
a touchdown.
Shortly following this score, Fran
els added another touchdown to the
list giving Willamette the big end Of
the score, the board reading VILLAIN
cite IA, Montana 8.
Francis was again responsible for a
score when few minutes later he
lifted one between the crossbars from
placement on the 33-yard line.
The final spectacular play came in
the middle of the second half when
Blackwell broke through and blocked
a punt and MacRae fell on the ball.
Stearns then wormed his way over the
goal line and Francis kicked the goal.
Score, Willamette "a, Montana g.
Once more before time was called
the visitors goal line was crossed, this
time Erskine, who had been RESPONSE
bic for much of the days yardage,
was selected to take the pigskin across
the final score Of the game,
Willamette &c. Montana 8.
All the Willamette backs played as
they have not played before The
charging of Erskine and Rowland be-
ing especially fierce.
Between halves the students ragged
and serpentined the field and finally,
with the assistance of the girls wrote
the W. U. on the field, then dropping
confetti to mark the imprint upon the
field, they returned to the stand.
Following the game, after carrying
the heroes off the field on their shoul-
ders, they paraded the town, led by
their band and ragging all the way.
They ended up at the Spa where
speeches were made and school songs
and yells continued to rend the air
A monster crowd witnessed the
game, probably thousand in all.
