third quarter. This was accomplished
by long forward pass, Stephens to
Reay. The game ended with Black
foot in possession Of the ball on Po-
catello's fifteen yard line, and only
the call of time prevented another
score.
The game developed some good
football and showed that Blackfoot is
turning out some good players.
Hughes with sprained angle played
the game thru and made first downs
in spite of his injury. Taylor at
quarter displayed good generalship
and his low tackling was also
feature. Captain Reay excelled on
receiving passes and Nelson's line
plunging was one of the stellar
features of the game. The entire
Blackfoot line proved superior to Po-
catello and had the jump on their
rivals.
The players lineup was as follows:
