Wildcats Battle To Scoreless
Tie With Scobey Saturday

A costly tumble Snatched victory
from the Plentywood high school
football eleven on the local gridiron
Saturday in their game with ScObey.
P~lentywood marched down the field
in spectacular fashion early in the
first stanza. With three downs and
6 yards to go to cross the final white
line, the tumble blasted hopes for an
early score. The game ended in a
scoreless tie.
Plentywood looked good in their
opening tilt. Coach Skors charges
showed signs Of developing into a
strong eleven. A we'll balanced line,
composed Of Newton, Collins, Heg'
land. Murray Boulds STEM
marck, Kjelstrup, Ewing, Markus0n,
Salisbury and Koike who alternated
at positions, consistently piled up
Scobeys back and opened fine holes
on offense.
The rbackfield composd of Zeidler
at half, Lund Bennett, Hueth and
Collins, were constant threats. The
Ibackfield this year Is undoubtedly
the fastest cmbination ever turned
out from the local school.
Zeidler turned In some fine punt
ing and made consistent gains with
the other backs forming fine interfer-
ence. Collins hit the line hard for
good gain, while Lund and Bennett
swept the ends for yardage. Hueth
an exceptionally fast back, broke
away on one play which almost net
ted a touchdown before he was
hauled down by a be*y OF Scobey
tacklerS.
The locals excelled In yardage, but
lacked the punch to put the ball over
for markers mostly due to bad
breaks.
Larsen and Stephens looked good
