Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-11-10

Forward passing and defense against
aerials featured the last high school
football practice in preparation for the
Armistice day game Saturday with
Butte high. All manner of passes
were tried by the first stringers, with
Thisted and Sohl doing much of the
heaving and Lowry, Baier and Fritz
Anderson hauling the ovals out OF the
air. Enough We're registered against
the seconds to satisfy the coaches.
The scrubs also used passes almost ex-
clusively, and the first team was busy
trying to break these up.
The Blue and White eleven nay ap-
pear against Butte as a different organ
ization than in all other games of the
season. Coach NJ. l.. Crouch has shift
ed his lineup and the shakeup will pre-
sent a new front in several respects.
Whether be will start Charters as
quarterback, instead of Murphy, who
has been used in the last two games.
is a matter which he says probably will
not be decided until just before the
game. Charters has q bad knee and
the coach prefers not to take any
chances which would be dangerous to
Jimmy's future. since he is counted on
for both basketball and track in this.
his last. year.
Under the new formation. Fritz An
derson may hold down an end with
Lowry, as he did in the game against
Billings last Saturday. He plays this
position well, is fairly fast and pos
sesses a good nose for the ball in catch
ing passes.
Thisted In Backfield
Thisted, the big tackle, may be pulled
ant IF tbo Ji,a onI y1CnI IN @ho haal-
field as a halfback, to take the place
of any one of the many backfield men
whom Crouch has used tofdate. Hober,
a hard hitting and plunging man, good
for yardage almost any time it is need
ed, is the other best bet as a halfback.
Thisted has been used in the back
field in this weeks practice.
To fill Thisted's place at right tackle,
Mike Harris can be taken from left
guard and Danny Lenny taken from the
first sub list to block guard. ''Chet"
Anderson fills the other guard and Cap
tain Baier will retain his position at
left tackle.
The remainder of the usual lineup
is unchanged to date. Art Olson stays
at center and George SohI is a fixture
in the fullback berth. 1t behooyes

fast and strong Purple and White ag-
~gregation from Butte. If Great Falls
come out of the game Saturday with
the long end of the score, it means
that the chances for a state title game
are nearly up to par. 1t also means
that Great Falls might be thrown
against the highly touted Miles City
(Custer county, eleven, which has viz
tually cleaned out the southeastern part
of the state.
Coach Harry "Swede' DahIberg will
bring 20 men with him and the Butte
papers send ahead the announcement
that ''the High Line champions may be
surprised if some of Butte's warriors
are off the injured list by the time
of the game in the Power city" To
date, Butte high has beaten the second
string of the School of Mines, Dillon,
Bozeman and Stevensville. 1t was
beaten by Missoula, 20 to IL. The
Butte team reaches here tonight and
will be met by a snake dancing delega-
ton of high students.
In the games played thus far. Butte
has scored but So points, against its
opponents 81, but this does not rep
resent the quality of the team, by a
long ways. The last half in the 20 to
