Of today's game, winning by score
of Al to after brilliant, scoreless
first half The home team withstood
the attack OF the visitors for half of
the playing time, but weight told in |
the second period and the Missonla
machine broke down the plucky de- |
Tense of the lighter eleven.
Hamilton was saved from a shutout |
by South who Intercepted Missoula |

yards for the only touchdown the |
home team was able to make.
Humphrey and Baird were~the he
roes Of the heavy attack with which |
Missoula demolished the Hamilton
team in the second half. Humphrey
scored four touchdowns and both car
ried the bali brilliantly for long gains.
The whole team played wei ON de
Tense and OffenSo.
The Hamilton players deserve credit
for the braye defense they put up.
During the first half the score was
even because of the spirit with which
Hamilton met the Missoula attack.
