Libby Again
Wins District
Championship
Defeats Corvallis in Inter
esting Game on Rain
Soaked Gridiron.
ARE CHAMPIONS FOR
THE SECOND TIME

Libby won the Western District
championship for the second consecu-
tive year last Saturday when they
again defeated Corvallis. The score was
to 0. Because of muddy field and
the continuous downpour of rain, both
teams fumbled number of times.
During the first half the Libby team
played an offensive game, penetrating
the Corvallis line and running around
their ends. In the first quarter Mar
tin got the ball on the five yard line,
and started what looked like center
plunge, but fooling his opponents ran
around the end unmolested for touch
down. The try for extra point failed.
The spectacular play in this quarter
occurred when an opposing back re-
punted it again before he could be
tackled
In the second quarter Libby was
going strong for another touchdown but
fumbled on their opponents yard
line. The half ended 6 to in favor of
the Terriers
The tables were turned in the sec
ond half, Libby playing a defensive
game and Corvallis the offensive. The
opponents smashed through the Pur-
pie and White line for yard after yard
with their big fullback Yerian carry
ing the ball. In the htird quarter this
same fullhack got past everybody but
Libbys safety-man, but slipped and
fell During this same period the oppos-
ing eleven advanced the ball down
to Libby's IL yard line This was the
closest they came. to touchdown The
Terriers held like demons and kicked
out Of danger.
During the third quarter the Black
and White team had power and drive
but in the fourth quarter the spark
seemed to die out In the last quarter
the Libby boys played safe whenever
they could. The game ended 6 to 0
in favor OF Libby.
Yerian of Corvallis proved that he
had tremendous power when hitting
the line. Glenn, their quarterback,
played a good game and showed some
nice pivoting and lodging ON slip
perry field
Allen of Libby showed up in the
center of the line. Rusher. with the
protection of the line and backfield
opened up as usual with some nice
punting. Hansen showed lots of dyna-
mite at guard
Corvallis did not attempt any passes,
but Libby tried two and completed
one In the first half Libby made s
downs to the opponents 2, and in the
second half Corvallis made first
downs to Libby's none
Despite the rain and mud there was
a large and enthusiastic crowd at the
game.
The school takes this opportunity to
acknowledge the fine cooperation of
the Libby people in helping to stage
the district contest Without the ticket
selling campaign put on by Lion Rus
sell and his crew, the advertising and
the total receipts would have fallen
short As it was the gate was the
largest ever taken in at football game
here. Without the assistance of the for
estry service, the cost of local enter
tainment would have taken up larger
part of the receipts At this point Miss
Sonner and her Home &c. de-
partment showed the practical value Of
the course and made another cut in
the expense account The several pa
irons who took Corvallis boys into
their homes for a meal really killed
two birds with one stone" for the Wis
itors appreciated the courtesy and the
school benefited as we'll But any one
who does not believe that Libby has
become football minded and will 90
the limit to support their team should
have seen the cheering fans stand
through the pouring rain to watch the
Libby boys annex another district
title. Such support is not built up in a
day and Coach Vogt and his men are
agreed that they will do their part
to see that the confidence is not mis-
placed
A wire from Walter Scott of the
School of Mines to Mr.. Vogt congrat-
ulated him on the victory and made
the statement that the semi-finals for
state championship would be played
off with either Cut Bank or Stanford as
these two schools are both undefeated
in their section. Since Cut Bank has
taken the measure of both Shelby and
last years runner-up, Big Sandy, they
are doped to win over Stanford. This
will mean much better break for
the locals in the matter of expense and
tentative arrangements are already
under way for the game The prob
able schedule will be that Libby plays
Cut Bank there on November IL or a
time near that date. A victory by
Stanford over Cut Bank would COM
plicate the situation by increasing the
distance.
