In a game that ended with a So to

State college Friday mauled the
squad from the Normal college at
Dillon to a 'fare-ye-weII." The game
was played as a prelude to the big
contest between the Bobcats and the
Cowboys from Wyoming.
The Kittens would have had a
clean slate had they net started the
clash with too many second string
men in the lineup. Before they could
organize for defense, the Teachers
had plunged down the field and over
their goal line. That walked 'em up,
and they soon showed the Dillonites
where they got off.

JUNIOR CLUBS Win
$4,000 this YEAR
Many All Exhibits Outclassed
Displays in Senior Divisions
at Montana Fairs

More than $4,000 in premiums and
prizes in All club classes was offered
by county, district and state fairs in
Montana this year. In many cases
boys and girls club exhibits were SUI
periOr in quality and greater in guam
tity than those in other divisions oil
the fairs. This indicates, according to
Charles E. Potter, state club leader.
the fine work being done by the farm
boys and girls of Montana, as well as
the strong support given this work
by the people and the institutions Of
the state.
MOntana's Record
Regarding the support given club
work, Mr.. Potter believes that no
other state has a better record in this
than Montana. There are now ap-
proximately 5000 members in 375
clubs in the state, each club directed
and led by a voluntary leader. These
!! leaders offer their services with no
other reward than the satisfaction Of
having a part in the training Of use
full citizens. The success of club
work in Montana is due to their loyal,
unselfish efforts.
Montana's leading men and women
recognize the value cf club work and
! give it every assistance and encOur-
( agement. The late John E. Edwards
was the Montana representative Of
the national committee on Boys and
Girls club work. A former governor
declared that there was no greater
work being done to safeguard Mon
tana's future. Many Of the leading
business organizations and clubs OF
the state have selected club work as
one of the main public activities fol-
their support.
Club Work Benefits
Club work is recognized in Montana
as the real training ground for good
citizenship and profitable, satisfying
farm and rural home life. Every i'm
pOrtant farm and farm home activity
is represented in club work. The boy
members raise corn, potatoes, gar
dens, various special crops, beef anC
dairy cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry
and the girls engage in such home &C
Invites as baking, canning, sewing
and so on. In many cases these yOunl
people have become the true Leaders
! of their parents, and their improves
practices are influencing the agricul
ture and home life of entire communi
. ties. More and more club member
are graduating from the club elias
into successful commercial production

REJECT ALL BIDS
ON WOMEN'S HALL
State Board Finds Lowest Offer
$4,000 in Excess of Sum
Set by Law
(FrOm the Weekly ExpOnent)

~ A0AA Wv HCEAAAg 4AENN
Bids on the construction of the pro-
posed WOmen's building at Montana
State college we're considered by the
state board last week, but action was
deferred, according to word from
President Atkinson.
The reason for deferring action was
due to the fact that the lowest bid
on the job was $4,000 higher than
the amount of money that has been
allowed for this building. Bids on
the building were in three groups,
for the actual construction, the fitting
of electrical appliances, and for the
plumbing. The firm of O'Brien and
Cess, of Butte, submitted the lowest
bid for the construction work, while
D. H. Budd Company, Of BOzeman,
gave the lowest figures for the cleo
trical and plumbing work.
When it was found that the bids
were higher than the state could pay
for the building, the architects sug-
gested changes in the structure Of the
building that would reduce the cost.
These are in the nature of using wood
supports in the roof, and other minor
changes that will not affect the size
CT efficiency Of the building. Goss
and Wood are submitting new bids
based on the suggested changes. The
new bids should be in the hands Of
the board by the end of this week.
If the bids are still too high, the
board had not yet decided on the pro.
cedure that will be followed.
There were eleven bids on the ac'
tual construction work on the build.

tickle GODDESS
FAVORS COWBOYS
Them Score in Great
Homecoming Day Game
With Montana Bobcats

Luck, the tickle goddess, stretched
forth her hand and touched the Wy
Oming Cowboys on the shoulder in
the third quarter of a heartbreaking
game with the Bobcats on Cation
field Friday Homecoming day. after
noon, and Montana went down to- de-
feat, Z to 0.
The contest was played on a field
so soft that in a few minutes the
participants were almost unrecOgniz-
able. Montana started off with a
rush, carrying the ball to within a
few feet Of WyOming's goal line for
what appeared to be a certain core.
The Bobcats failed to make sufficient
yardage on their fourth down, how
ever, and thus lost one of their two
big chances. The other came in the
last minutes of play, when beth teams
were tired and the necessary Shove
to put the ball over could not be mus
tered.
Cowboys Outplayed
Although the Cowboy aggregation
is a splendid one, possessed of brains,
Drawn, speed, and cleverness, it met
a worthy foe in the Bobcats who, IN
the opinion of many fans, Outplayed
it from start to finish. Because Of
the condition Of the field, only
[ straight football, as a rule, was pos
1 sible. Footing was insecure, the ball
so slippery that kicking was diff
cult and passing dangerous, and yard
| age was made mainly by strength and
agility. The end Of the first half
found both teams covered with mud
p and the score 0 to O..
t 1t was in the third quarter that
the break in Wycming's favor came,
q when Whitman the Cowboys right

and then kicked goal. After that the

field to the other, but neither side

PACK OF 5 COUGARS
TRACKED BY HUNTER
IN GARRISON AREA

DEER LODGE MOnt-COugars,
bobcats and lynx abound in the
district surrounding the headwa-
tiers Of Warm Springs creek, ac-
cOrding to Thomas Fitch, big game
hunter, WHO has just returned
from a trip to the hills. He was
out about five miles west of Gar
risOn and above the home ranches
Of Louis and William KnOp.
In previous years deer were
plentiful in that district, but this
year they seem to have vanished,
Mr.. Fitch says. He tells of fol-
lowing the trail of a band of five
cougars for quite a distance, the
five distinct sets of tracks running
side by side The cougar is rated
as the most deadly enemy of the
deer and it is believed that they
have either slaughtered or driven
the deer from the district.
