why publicity about the pension grab BILL by which members
of congress- the President cabinet heads and other fed

25-yard Line, with
Indians Scoring at

A quartet of heet-footed backs

larly. paced t he we'll balanced
Browning Indians to a $50 vic
victory over the Falls Reserves
Saturday afternoon at the local
gridiron.
The contest marked the locals
first defeat of the season and
Browning's initial triumph. Last
week the Reserves downed Cut
Bank 2O-6 while Browning was
bowling to Whitefish Ia 6.
Browning started its march to
victory shortly after the opening
kickoff and continued to have
things pretty much its own way
for more than three quarters.
The only semblance Of Reserve
defensive strength came in the
final quarter when b locals
twice smothered the visitors in
midfieId to take the ball on
downs.
Billedeaux started the Indians
victory march. punching over
from the 1.yard line for the first
touchdown, the score climaxed a
drive from midfield in which the
visitors featured sweeping end
runs and of-tackle smashes. The
try for point failed. Early in
the fourth quarter Browning
started another goalward drive
from midfald which again was
climaxed with Paisley scoring.
Again the try for point failed.
Just before h e half ended
Browning recovered Great Falls
tumble on the 48-yard line. In
four plays the visitors advanced
to the Bison 9-yard stripe where
McFadyean hit center to score.
McFadyean plunged for the extra
point and the locals trailed 1910.
In the second half Great Falls
took to the air but experienced
only slight success. The Reser.

made two first downs to reach

threat. When the period ended.

the final period. two plays pro-
duced another touchdown. Pals

score. Billedeaux hit the line to
convert the point.
