At the same time the town was Of
ficially named it was designated as the
county seat OF the newly apportioned
county composed of what are now
Toole. Glacier. Pondera and Teton
counties. and called Teton county.
As the first county elections were
vet a year in the future. the shortage
OF a sheriff was overcome by appoint
mert. Al Hamilton was appointed by
the commissioners, took the oath of
office and carried it out so capably that
his name has come to be recognized
as a synonym: for progress.
Hamilton & Hazelet had now ceased
operating their ranch, but that did not
dissolve their partnership. They con-
tinued to operate a general merchandise
store until 1895, when it gave way to
HirShberg's Department store.
Hazelet built a residence for himself
and family on lots that are a part
of the land upon which the Sulgrove
residence now stands. Many people
have the impression that Sulgrove's
house is the one constructed by the
cattleman. His dwelling was situated
about one hundred feet south, and di-
rectly on the spot where young people
of Choteau now have a modern tennis
court.
The second business institution to be
erected was a hotel. Founded by
George Richards in the early 80s, where
the Choteau House now is, it was in
the heart Of the old stage town. There
were no other places for travellers to
stop, and this accounted for the num-
Der of guests this frontier inn usually
had under its roof.
Failing into the mood which was
creating a city, Uncle Jake Smith es-
tablished a third enterprises saloon.
His place of former business faces the
Hirshberg store, across the main
t~horoughfare. Its general appearance
is not greatly changed from what it
was originally. 1t has a high false front
-proverbial saloon style-and a large
upstairs room where the proprietor
stored trade goods. The longevity of
this building is due to its log construc-
ton. Siding boards and paint were
applied at an early date, but never
its part in keeping the structure stand
ing.
Charles LaPage was the first black
smith to ply his trade in Choteau. He
came into this section of Montana in
1881, and within a year was shoeing
horses as well as doing general forge
work in a shop which he had built on
the orner where the Merchants cafe
was erected after a windstorm, which
demolished the blacksmith shop.
From this time on Choteau grew
steadily. More enterprises seated
themselves, and yet more people were
attracted by the offerings of the virgin
territory. Bill Hodgkiss was a promi-
nent figure in molding the city. Besides
owning many of the buildings which
were operating as business places, in
Guiding a large livery stable and a
ranch, he owned a freight line and
conveyed merchandise from Great Falls
to Choteau for many years. Prior to
his marriage and settlement IN a ranch
four miles north of Choteau, John
Lyons drove Hodgkiss' freight string.
Upon Lyons retirement to a life of
ranching, Sam Phremmer took up the
lines and carried on the enterprise for
Hodgkiss and drove for several years.
But Hodgkiss was not without COM
petitors in his f%reighting occupation.

4 DIFFERENCES
IN GRID RULES

Major differences between pro-
fesSional and collegiate football
rules are four.
Professionals can throw for
ward passes from any place be-
hind the scrimmage line; col
legians must be five yards back.
Professionals carrying the ball
are not down until definitely
stopped by tacklers; collegians
carrying the ball are down when
hands or knees touch the ground.
Professionals are allowed to
pick up and run with a fumbled
ball; collegiate fumbles result in
the ball being declared dead at
the spot Of recovery.
Professionals have their goal
posts on the goal line: collegians
have theirs ten yards back Of
the goal to avoid the danger Of
injury.

SCHOOLS LEAD
COLLEGES IN
GRID DEATHS

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-High
school football games take a toll
of three times as many fatalities
as do college contests, Floyd R.
Eastwood of the New York Uni
verSity faculty reported to the Am
erican Football Coaches Associa'
ton today.
Eastwood, who has made a four
year study of football accidents
said that from 1881 to 1884 in
elusive, lis accidental deaths were
attributed directly to football, not
including deaths caused by 1ntec'
ton of wounds suffered on the
eridiron. Fifty fatalities, or A
per cent, were high school players; !;
SO, or % per cent. were sand
lotters; 16, or IA per cent, were
collegians: and 16. or IA per cent
were members Of athletic clubs.
Head, Spine Injuries
Head and spine injuries &C.
counted for 67.9 per cent Of all
fatalities. Cerebral hemorrhage
was the cause most frequently
given. Tackling accounted for
4l.9 per cent of all deaths. The
greatest number of deaths oc:
Cured during the first and
fourth periods of play.
In concluding his report, East
wood challenged secondary schools
to equal achievement OF the col
leges in reducing footballs death
toll. His recommendations to
bring greater safety to the game
especially as played by high
school students, included:
"An association Of high school
football coaches should be
formed to do in high school
football what the American
Football Coaches Association
has done for the college sport.
STANDARDS IMPROVED
"Standards for the employ
ment of high school coaches
should be improved. They
should be required to have in
addition to football and coach
ing experience advanced courses
under leading football teachers.
"A rolling rather than a
headon tackle should always
be taught. Blocking should
be taught so that the soft parts
of the body should be con-
tacted by the blocker. Players
should be taught to tuck In
their chins when falling back
ward to the ground after being
tackled or blocked in order to
avoid conclusion.
''PIayers should not be Al
lowed to participate without
having had thorough physical
examination.
Football equipment concerns
should take the responsibility
for the development Of an i'm
proved headgear. and pads to
protect the abdomen and lower
back"

Washington also pulled out of the
mire of the past, taking home at
least it's share, thanks mostly to
the superlative Lorraine Gulli, who

Gulli'S most persistent rivals, at

Catherine Quigley resumed hel

Strengthened by the return to

Cole, the Drake University baS-

tentions to its tour to the eastern
Seaboard over the Christmas holi-
days.
Cole, 6 foot 7 inch veteran who
halls from Austin, Mimi, was
forced to quit the squad last

but the ailment in his left leg
has responded rapidly to treat
ment and Trainer M. D. Cramer

Cole was among the 10 Drake

return solves Coach Williams

Is going to perturb the colleges
Of this country much longer.
ANY more than the problem
of proselyted baseball players
perturb them. Professional foot
ball is rapidly exploding the
myth of their troubles, and the
more loudly they declaim
against tainted college athletics,
the more rapidly will pro foot
ball remove the cause Of their
complaint.
Yesterday I sat for an hour
with Tim Mara, whose New
York Giants are going to the Pa
cific Coast to play three or four
games with various professional
teams and then make a football
moving picture.
Not Much In Print
You will not be reading much
about this coast foray Of the
pros as you read about the Rose
Bowl game between Stanford
and Alabama, or even as much
as you read about the East-West
game between picked teams
from those sections.
But that is this year 1884 Git
still is 1884, isn't IT'D two or
three years hence it will be o
different story. A year ago,
George. Halas' Chicago Bears
made more money playing on
the coast than Columbia made
in the Rose Bowl. And while
Mr.. Mara's Giants may not
bring away as much this year as
does Alabama, you may be quite
sure that they are going to do
all right. Otherwise, Mara
wouldn't be taking them out
there.
AS a matter of fact, he was
cold to the proposition in the
first place. But the West Coast
promoters-and take it from me
that the gentlemen promoting
the Rose Bowl game and the
East-WeSt affair are basically
promoters, however high their
aims or good intentions-made
their oferS so alluring that in
the end he capitulated.
Willing to Gamble
The promoters on the coast
KNEW that the pros in a series
of games would do all right. So
they were willing to gamble, and
so Mara had the proposition
made so alluring that he couldn't
refuse.
Now Mr.. Savage is as correct
as the four that follows the add
ing Of two and two when he in
Inmates that the hundred grand
expended by the Carnegie found
alton was money tossed off the
