The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1941-09-25

Libby High School opened its Al
Gees by scoring one touchdown in
the second period. two in the third,
and one in the fourth The Gees
scored their lone tally in the clos
ing seconds of the game. Every man
from big Pete" Earle, the 207
pound tackle, TO 10 pound Jimmy
Roberts saw action in the game.
Versatile Bill Martin, captain of
the Libby eleven, not only scored
two touchdowns and threw three
passes for the other two touch
downs, but also played every posi-
ton in the backfield brilliantly.
Others outstanding in the Libby
lineup were three newcomers-D.
Delzer, E. Martin, and c. Brist. Del
ger showed that he was capable of
stepping in and taking The taIiback
position when Bill Martin was
needed elsewhere. His running
around end and off tackle starts
were very pleasing to Coach HUI
dacek.
Elmer Martin, playing his first
high school game, lived up to
his pre- practice form by stopping
everything that came his way.
Claude Brist, a transfer from Kali
ispell. played a very good offensive
game and proved to be just the man
that Libby is looking for, fast
pass-snatching end.
Brist scored the first touchdown
on tricky double reverse and
around which caught the local
Gees asleep. Eggert kicked the
extra point to close all the scoring
in the first half After the halt
time intermission, Libby regained
some of its strength that it lost
from the very hot sun which was
shooting its rays down at 80 de-
gree temperature. b. Martin scored
the second touchdown on three
yard plunge after Duane Doughar-
ty. Libby's left halfback, stole the
Gees pass and ran beautifully be-
hind nearly perfect interference for
35 yards before being hauled down
on the IL yard line.
Libby's third tally came on a
beautiful rs yard gallop by Bill
CCC pass. Egger.'s kick for the
point was successful, making the
score 20 to O. Libby's final score
came on Is yard pass from Bill
Martin to Claude Brist who scam
pered the remaining ten yards un-
touched. Eggert's try for the point
was unsuccessful.
Coach Hudacek said after the
game that he was very well salts
fled with his teams performance
! Since it was their irst real con
tact, he was particularly pleased
with the forward wall charging or
otfense-Brist, Earle, Huchala, Cor
mier, Dutton, Friend, and Barkee
He also stated that il the team pro-
| crosses as fast as it has the pas
Nsnree weeks, that he expects vic
tor over the Flathead Reserves
!, Coach's plans are to change TIL
| starting lineup, moving Daughart,
| to end and Dutton to left guard
and putting Delzer in the tailbacl
position which will give Libby on,
Of the fastest, shiftiest backfield
that Libby has ever had.

Major Hufford's ooys were handi-
capped by lack of proper equip
ment and particularly missed the
1irm footing that comes With the uss
of football cleats. They made very
creditable showing considering tht
short practice periods. 1t wa:
quickly evident that some expert
ced men were playing in the cCC
lineup as they bulled several sue
cessful reverses and their passing
was too dangerous for comfort t
Libby fans. The Gees had razzls
dazzle offense that kept the Blue
and Gold guessing during most O
the game.
