Comedy of Errors, '36 Version


Friday. October 90. was a bad day
for brentwood football fans who &C
companied the team to Wolf Point
to see the game to decide the dist
riot championship. After playing the
Wolves on even terms the first few
minutes OF the game the Wildcats
handed their opponents a break"
and from then on 1t was impossible
to stop the Roosevelt county boys.
The Wolves won. 18 to 0. The usual
h~ard-driving attack and stubborn
defense characteristic of the Wild
cats play in previous games was de-
cidedly lacking and the Wolves
romped through, over and around
them at will. The Wolves led only 7
to 0 at half time, but when the Cats
began booting, butternngering and
bobbling the ball in the second half,
the Wolves used everyone but n
"chain gang" and the grade school
j~anitor In staging merry touchdown
parades to the Wildcat goal. Moth
ing would work. everything went
wrong. The Wildcat passing defense
couldn't analyze the Bushman-to-
Bushman aerial losses.
TrOunce CulbertsOn
1t was not a rubber-toothed Wild
cat eleven that invaded Culbertson
the Wednesday following, however.
They passed and plunged up and
down the field to defeat the Cow
boys 10 to THE first football vic
tory scored over Culbertson in the
annals of competition between the
two schools. Boulds made two touch
downs from his backfeld post,
where he was transferred for the
game. The Cowboy score came after
getting the ball on the Wildcat two
yard line following a penalty on the
locals for pass interference. The Gull
bertson game was the last on the
schedule.
Ten Gridders Graduate
There were ten seniors on the
1886 squad, but prospects are bright
for another powerful eleven next fall
with several veterans back for duty
and some good material discovered
in spring training. One of the reas-
ons for the power and versatility OF
the wildcat backheld last season
was the play of Hopkins, a sturdy
blocking back from Darlington, n.
: D., who had had two years of varsity
experience before enrolling at the
! local school last fall. The backield
-Backer, the ball-carrying ace
: Captain Lund, Kjelstrup and Hop
! kins-combined power and speed In
executing plays from a modified dou'

cat line was heavy and aggressive
from tackle to tackle and Hegland
! and Newton effectively executed
, their assignments at ends.
