BUTTE CONTEST
BROUGHT FORTH
REAL FOOTBALL
Clash With Catholic Eleven,
the Initial Test of Season, Re
veaIed Great Falls Strength.

The rapid development of the Great
Falls high school football team in the
last two weeks has been a surprise to
most all who have followed inter
scholastic football In this city. Real
opposition was met for the first time
last Saturday when the team played
Butte Central high at the mining city.
The game played was played fairly
tight throughout but there were times
in each quarter when opportunities to
score by Butte teams were neglected.
AS is conceded by all who saw the
game, each team should have made a
higher score, although the victory was
well Won by Great Falls. The later
was entitled to three or four more
~touchdowns and the Butte boys should
have scored once more. This would
have made the final result close to 80
to II in the favor of Great Falls.
Most every member on the team dis
played good headwork during the game
and played his best. Olson, center,
did not make a bad pass throughout
the contest but he fell down badly
when it came to charging He should
be getting in the scrimmage every play
and his weight should carry him
through without trouble.
BaIer Wins Praise
Captain Baier was highly touted for
his excellent playing at the left tackle
in the Butte dailies. This means all
the more for him when it is considered
that be was in bed nearly all of the
week proceeding the game with al at
tack of the fila" Bartsch, guard,
was also in the same condition but his
playing Saturday was the best he has
shown this season.
Thisted, at the other tackle. played
a stellar game, as did the rest of the
line. Woodahl played his usual su-
perior style, i~ntercepting one pass for
yardage. Fritz Anderson and Hober,
at the half backs, showed their worth
many times as they plowed through the
Central defense. Charters will de-
velop into one of the best quarters in
the state if he continues as he has been
going since the first game. The re-
maiuder of the squad works hard with
Charters and this is one advantage
which cannot be lacking in the sue
cess of Il team.
Sohl made a pretty kick from the
20 yard line o nthe last two minutes
OF the last quarter which won the
game. The ball was worked the en-
tire length of the field on line buck,
especially off tackle plays, and passes
and Charters called for the winning
kick two minuets before the final
whistle.
Helena Is Next
Next Saturday Helena high will
be seen in action at Earring park.
This team beat Deer Lodge by a large
score but it has not tackled any other
high school team vet. Last Saturday
a picked team from Mt, st. Charles
beat the Red and White 40 to Z, but
strength of the Helena team.
1t is understood that Helena high
has a strong eleven. They are all
husky and have seen plenty Of past ex-
~prience in the game. Kain, right end,
is probably the best player on the team
and he will undoubtedly show Great
Falls lots of action. He has been
responsible for the success of passing
in the few games Helena has played
in.
The Varney brothers have played
before and are remembered especially.
from their brilliant work in basketball
last year. Other members on the
team are Herman, c: Mares, rg;
Eames, ig: Thompson, 1t; Core, lie;
Woods, OBJ: Henry, III; Hutchins,r h.
Harold yarney plays the full back po-
sition and his brother, Fl. Varney, is
at left tackle.
If present plans are fulfilled, Hell
ena rooters will come to Great Falls
on a special train. The Great North
ern railway has made ii low rate to
them and students are being signed for
the trip now
